Front Row font size

Anyone know how to reduce the font size in Front Row?
I get song names and movie file names running off my screen.

Unfortunately I haven't seen a way of reducing the font in Front Row. But with the text being out of the screen size, it sounds like a display issue.
Do you have your Mac Mini plugged into a TV? If it is, then the problem might be Overscan.
Open up System Preferences/Display/Options. There's a check for Overscan. It's defaulted as selected. Uncheck it and see if that helps.

Changing Front Row font size

Any way to change the font size in Front Row? Or prevent it from displaying file extensions?

Unfortunately, I think the font size is built-in to Front Row. Since there's no "preferences" to access, you won't be able to change it.
This previous topic might help you with the second question:

Changing font size(bold) or color of a particular row in ALV Grid Digplay

Hi
Coloring An Entire Row
Coloring a row is a bit (really a bit) more complicated. , you should add an additional field to your list data table. It should be of character type and length at least 4. This field will contain the color code for the row.
First you have to declaration of our list data table u201Cgt_listu201D.
DATA BEGIN OF gt_list OCCURS 0 .
INCLUDE STRUCTURE SFLIGHT .
DATA rowcolor(4) TYPE c .
DATA END OF gt_list .
Adding the field that will contain row color data
As you guess, you should fill the color code to this field. But how will ALV Grid know that you have loaded the color data for the row to this field. So, you make it know this by passing the name of the field containing color codes to the field u201CINFO_FNAMEu201D of the layout structure.
e.g.
ps_layout-info_fname = <field_name_containing_color_codes>. u201Ce.g. u2018ROWCOLORu2019
You can fill that field anytime during execution. But, of course, due to the flow logic of screens, it will be reflected to your list display as soon as an ALV refresh occurs.

Table font size changes when I set other font property

I had anomalous behavior in a VI i wrote so I did the following to troubleshoot it. Can anybody explain what's going on?
I created a table indicator and changed the font size to 36 for a 5x5 area cells using mouse-drag-select and the front panel "Xpt Application Font" dropdown. I changed one of the rows to font=strikeout using the same front panel dropdown. I then used the FOR loops and properties as below to change the stikeout property to FALSE for all 5 rows. Running the VI caused the font size of all of the text to change, even though the CellFontSize property was not set anywhere in the VI. I manually set the font sizes to 36 again and subsequent runs of the the VI did not affect the font sizes.

I did not attach the code because after it runs it is "fixed". The FOR loop I described is easy enough to recreate but it seems there was an issue with the image in the first post so I've attached it here (rather than try again to include it in the message).

Parental Controls / Front Row / Apple Movie Trailers

I have Parental Controls set up for my children. If they start up Front Row, they have access to the Apple Movie Trailers. Even though these trailers are approved for all audiences, they often contain mature, adult, and disturbing images.
So, how do I block access to Apple movie trailers? Here is what I've tried:
1. Remove access to *.apple.com in Parental controls. Didn't work.
2. Block *.apple.com in SafeEyes (internet filter program). Didn't work.
3. Uncheck Front Row in Parental Controls. Didn't work.
Front Row works no matter what Parental Controls says. And the trailers do not seem to be hosted on *.apple.com...
Any ideas as to what else I can try?
Thanks in advance!

"Front Row.app" can be disabled by downloading and installing the "Server Admin Tools" from Apple and using "Workgroup Manager.app", but to avoid the hassle for a one-off like this, try logging in to an "admin" account, launching "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Terminal.app" and entering a command of the form below, substituting the managed account's "short name" where it says 'username':<pre style="overflow:auto; padding: 5px; width: 500px ; font-size: 10px; border:1">
/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/dscl . -mcxset /users/username com.apple.frontrow PreventActivation always -bool true</pre>
As an aside, note that the "Front Row.app" in the "/Applications" folder is just a launcher for the actual "Front Row.app" buried in "/System/Library/CoreServices".

Front Row poor iTunes compatibility

Hi - hoping someone can shed some light on this.
I have an iMac (Latest OS and fully updated) running iTunes. All works great. My iTunes library is shared.
I also have a Mac-Mini which I use as a media centre under my HDTV. (Latest OS and fully updated). On this I run eye-TV, no known issues and use Front Row to access my iTunes Library on my iMac above.
I also have an Apple TV- again, accessing the iTunes Library on my iMac.
*The Issue* - I have a problem whereby Front Row does not seem to play the movies very well at all from my Mac-Mini. For example, I have a movie file,which I created, in iMovie 8 and shared to iTunes - This created a movie 106MB in size - 3.58 minutes long.
The movie plays great on the iMac where its stored.
The movie plays great on the Apple TV. Streamed from iTunes (Not synched)
The movie struggles on the Mac Mini with Front Row. It keeps buffering and pausing.
The symptoms appear on a number of movies played through Front Row. Some that have been ripped from my own DVD's and anything above 40 or 50MB created in iMovie 8.
Would love to hear from anyone with an answer or explanation. (Note, I have tried using both wired (GigaBit) and wireless networks. I do not not believe this is network bandwidth related. Infact my Apple TV is wireless and works perfectly.
Note - iTunes and Front Row are the current and up to date versions as is my OS. (I believe there was a patch to resolve such issues in previous versions.)
Thanks in advance

Looking at the picture on the bottom of that other discussion board, I have the exact same problem. All that font stuff you mentioned to work around the problem is a bit intimidating, so I'll just live with the occasional bug. And if I close and open up the program, it's fixed anyway. I just hate seeing a brand new pristine computer not act quite so pristine.
But thanks.

How to change font size for tracks in Songs view, iTunes 11?

I'm wondering which field in TextStyles.plist for the new iTunes 11 (I've gotten rid of Helvetica for Lucida Grande thanks to another forum on here!) - controls the font size for track title, time, artist, album, etc. as seen here - I would like to have it smaller, and have been playing around on several forums and not found the magical field to get that exact thing smaller. Many thanks in advance.

You're going to love me forever:
<key>9002</key>
<dict>
<key>- loc hint -</key>
<string>List Contents (Small)</string>
<key>font</key>
<string>HelveticaNeue</string>
<key>size</key>
<integer>12</integer>
</dict>
It's that interger "12" that's determines the size. Adjust it until you're happy—provided that it's an interger.
I actually go with "HelveticaNeue" with a size of 11. I like to see lots of tabular information at once, horizontally, without changing my resolution… within reason, e.g. Fiona Apple album titles still have ellipses.
An unfortunate aspect to this is that the row height isn't altered unless the font size specified is greater than 12—the font takes the row height along for the ride when it's bigger, but the row doesn't come along for the ride when the font gets smaller. It's likely you could change the minimum row height to be lower, in some other plist—search for something like "list contents (small)" or "list (small)" or whatever—but I don't know where that would be found, or if it could be found at all.
Nonetheless, this should address your query.

How to change font size in a callout on a Mac

Is there a way to change the font size in the callout tool on a Mac? I am using Acrobat 9 Pro and the callout font is way too big for where I want to use it. I have gone to the properties box like it says in many Windows queries on this subject but font size is not available in the properties box.
Thanks.

Hi Dave,
Thank you so much for the email. I tried every object and method I can

I got error message all the time. These objects don’t support PointSize.
All I need is to change point size of the text in InDesign tables created

Front Row Sharing - Some TV shows not showing up

Hi all,
I have a problem with iTunes' shared libary - it only shows a subset of TV shows within iTunes. I have a Mac Pro in my den, which hosts a pretty large itunes library (about 750GB), of which 350GB are TV shows I've either bought from iTunes or ripped from DVD. The machine is running 10.6 and iTunes is fully up to date. Everything works as you'd expect on the Mac Pro, and Front row can see all the videos iTunes can see.
In our bedroom we have a fairly recent Mac Mini. If i use iTunes ->iTunes sharing, all the titles show up correctly and I an watch any TV show.
However, if we use the sharing feature in front row on the mac mini, only a subset of TV shows appears - and infuriatingly it's not even 100% reliable which items will fail to show - but it is about 90% reliable, which is even more frustrating, as it's clearly not totally random. The shows most likely to be effected seem to be the ones added in the last few months.
I've also tried running front row on different clients on the same LAN - both my wife and my Macbook pros do the same, as does an iMac in our kitchen, so it seems to me to be either a problem which effects Front Row generally, or a fault on the iTunes server Mac Pro. Is my library simply too big for the Front Row sharing feature to work correctly? If so - this is ridiculous!?
I've looked into alternative clients for the Mac Mini, like Mediacentral, which doesn't seem to support sharing of iTunes videos, and also Plex which again doesn't appear to support this, but is frankly so complex it's hard to tell - if it will support seamless iTunes sharing of all content, I'd be happy to give it a go - but it doesn't look like it does.
Preferably there would just be a fix like deleteing some iTunes cache files or something on the Mac Pro - I've had a sniff about the iTunes XML file, and compared the data of some of theTV shows which turn up to some of those that don't and they all look identical, schema wise, so I'm none the wiser.
All machines tested are totally up to date, OS/iTUnes wise..
I haven't managed to find anything on the internet about this, which leads me to think it's probably an obscure issue with my iTUnes installation, rather than a problem with library size, since I'm sure many other people have bigger libraries than this....
Any help greatly appreciated!

I have the same issue. My home shared library can all be seen on my iPhone or my Apple TV 3rd Gen but not on my ipad. Only some movies and tv shows show up. Also. Many of the TV shows are all mixed up. Episodes shows up in different series and all mix up. All those issues only on the iPad, on other devices, all seems fine.

Mail.app crashes when I try to increase font size

Has anyone had a problem with mail.app crashing?
It only happens when I try to increase the message font size or change the style of font within mail preferences.
It will also crash if I select "use fixed-width font for plain text messages".
Mailbox font and message list font work ok.
I tried to dump the mail preferences but that did not help.

Mac Mini, Front Row and projection TV?

I am wondering whether our plan to get a new MacMini with Front Row to be the heart of our entertainment system is a good idea. We want to use the Mac as our DVD player and stereo (music) source. We also want to get a fairly high resolution projector (like the ones used for presentations) instead of a TV, probably for ~ $1500.
We saw a projection setup at a friend's house (not with Mac, just used for TV) and it was fabulous to watch a basketball game in giant size on their white wall. They could switch from letterbox format to regular TV size display at the push of a button. The picture was very clear.
Our new house will also have a large wall space available. Has anyone done this kind of setup? What words of wisdom, advice, or warning do you have in terms of the setup or the type of projector to get?
considering new MacMini Intel Mac OS X (10.4.7) Considering getting a Mac Mini to be the heart of our home entertainment system.

I too have the latest mini, hooked up to a Denon receiver via pass-through HDMI.
I am not an audiophile in terms of setting up this stuff and just want to know what I need to do to get the optimum performance out of this mini, audio wise.
When I go to Audio MIDI Setup app, my receiver (DENON-AVAMP) is listed next to the "source" button. I have no clue about channels, bits, etc. When I click on the "Configure Speakers" button I am presented with different configurations so I selected "Multichannel" versus "Stereo". And I can see where you can test all 5 speakers and subwoofer, but I just don't know which "format" I am supposed to select.
The 5.1 mapping is shown when I select 8 channel/16 bit, 8 channel/20 bit, or 8 channel 24 bit. I can click on each speaker in this map and it tests properly no matter which one of the above combinations I select. Just not sure which one I am supposed to be using.
All I know is my Denon is a 5.1 system and all this works perfectly (getting 5.1 sound) with my Playstation 3 hooked up the same way to the Denon.
Does anybody know the correct settings to output 5.1 sound from this Mac Mini?
Thanks guys!

Is it possible to change the font size and weight in an ADF table?

Is it possible to change the font size and weight in an ADF table? I have tried to change the various font size and weight settings for a table and its columns and they seem to have no effect on the font size or weight in a table row.

You would use skinning to modify font-size & weight for the table.
In addition to the link suggested by Vinod,
Take a look at http://biemond.blogspot.com/2009/01/adf-skinning-in-jdeveloper-11g.html
