Globally set "float" for my windows... and Skins?

I really liked how PS would allow me to open up any .psd etc, in it's own floating window, so I could select then drag an image from one doc to the other.
Cant do that with the default settings in CS5...but I've found a way to 'force' that for each doc I open AFTER I open it via the top nav bar icon to enable the float for that doc...
IS there a way to globally set CS5 to only ever open any PS doc with that already set to the float window setting?
Can't find it so far...but surely that must exist, right?
RE: my subject item on Skins...the overall "gray-ness" of the CS5 GUI gets me down...I also can not find out how to "skin" the gray away....can you?

huge 27" HP that is powered by a nVidea card...absolutely great look/feel and the workstation powering same is  a great Dell box.
that said, it's not the monitor, nor the ambient light here at the office..it's the dang all gray look that bugs me the most...then the poor contrast tween the type on that gray...then the overall gray top bar too...
just too too gray for me. if this continues to bug me, I'll just go back to CS3....dont need any of the new features in CS5....and the 'comfort' of using an interface that is easy to use is more imp to me than being "current" with versions ever would be...
can't be alone on this either as I've read many many threads on this - just google for this and you'll see many think same as me....an app should be
transparent in it's GUI usage....not a hindrance...
...sigh...

  • Setting Cursor - For a window and application wide

    Hi,
    Can somebody please help with a cursor problem ? I am not able to set the busy cursor for a frame when the application is doing some work. I have tried many methods of doing this (some of them from these forums...) but still I am not able to make this work.
    1) setting the cursor before doing the work and resetting after the
    work doesnt work.
    2) setting the cursor for the window by calling
    Window window = SwingUtilities.windowForComponent(getRootPane().getGlassPane());
    window.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
    This works but the events are not blocked by the frame i.e if i
    click on any part of the window like a button or something, that
    event is fired after the work is done. So this is not good.
    3) created a glass pane for the window and blocked all the events. Then
    set the cursor for the the glass pane. This does not work either
    since the event thread is doing the work. So had to create another
    thread to do the work. This works but when the cursor is reset back,
    it doesnt reset. I have to move the mouse a bit to reset it. So this
    is not good either.
    4) created a work around for the cursor by creating a modal dialog box
    saying "Processing..." in the event thread and doing the work in the
    worker thread. The worker thread posts an event to dispose the
    dialog box after the work is done. This works perfectly though it is
    still not good because the cursor is not showing busy. Because of
    the modal dialog box, the user cant do anything in the application
    which is exactly what i want. Is this ok ? Can somebody provide any
    other work around for this ?
    5) Also I have another question for you guys. In the worker thread if i
    do something like updating the gui etc., it takes a lot of time
    almost 10 times more than when the work is done in a single threaded
    environment. Is this because of the communication between the worker
    thread and the event thread ? If I do only data related work not gui
    work in the worker thread, this is fine.
    I am new to Swing, so somebody please explain to me if they can.
    My environment is JDK 1.1.7, Swing 1.1 on Sun Solaris 2.5.1. Is this because I am using old versions. Is this resolved in the newer versions like 1.3 etc ?

    That is all true.  The problem is the need to give a user the ability to run a program that has secrets that should only be visible by root.  If you give the user ownership, they cab see the keys to the kingdom.
    For example, you may want to allow a user to connect to an arbitrary wireless access point.  Generally, this is a privileged operation -- you want to give them permission to do it, but don't want to give them ownership.  You may also not want them to be able to see or modify the pass phrases.

  • I need to add a secondary hard drive to my time capsule. Can something that has been set up for a windows machine work without re-formatting?

    I need to add a secondary hard drive to my time capsule. Can something that has been set up for a windows machine work without re-formatting?

    In addition to Niel's comments, if you plan to use Time Machine to backup a Mac to the secondary drive.....that application needs a drive that has been specifically formattted for Mac.  That would be Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    PCs can also read and write to the Mac formatted drive.

  • I can't set shortcut for „Application windows"

    System Preferences → Exposé & Spaces → Exposé
    I can’t set shortcut for „Application windows” — first column with Fn key is OK, but the second column with mouse button doesn’t work. If I set „secondary mouse button” for „application windows”, it doesn’t work. But if I set „secondary mouse button” to „All windows”, it works! All mouse shortcuts for „All windows” or „Show desktop” work, but no mouse shortcut for „Application windows” work . The same with „Mouse button 3” and other buttons.
    Can you help me, please?

    Do you see the iTunes Library icon in the window? Click on it and the use the scroll bar to get to the tracks you want.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

    Hi,
    I've 2 nodes with version 9.2.0.1
    I applied a Patch Set Release 2 (9.2.0.8) Patch Set 7 for Microsoft Windows (32-Bit) on the Node 2,
    All is fine but when i try to discover N2 from N1 with OMS, i get only the HTTP Servers, and no database discovred,
    For your information, I've 2 databases on N2
    Please help me to resolve this probleme because i need to schedule some jobs.
    Regards.

    Check where you installed the 9.2.0.8 patch, in the database home or Enterprise Manager Agent's home?
    Check the compatibility between the versions of agent, database and OEM.
    Try to reinstall the (correct version) agent again in Node 1.
    If you have 2 database on Node 2, if they both uses the same Oracle database version and same home, you need to install the patch only once, but got to run the upgrade and catpatch.sql seperately in each databases.

    So instead of this:
    <a class="brand" href="index.html"><img src="../img/logo-ca.png"alt="Consumers Advocate Review"> </a>
    Would it be something like this?:
    <a class="brand" href="index.html"><img src="http://ConsumersAdvocate/img/logo-ca.png"alt="Consumers Advocate Review"> </a>
    And if I do that, is there a way to cope with that locally so that DW can still display the images?

  • Locking exceptions for Pop-windows and loading image automatically Preferences setting

    How can i lock the two exceptions button for POP-up windows and load imagae automatically option.

    You can lock the image exceptions via pref.advanced.images.disable_button.view_image
    I do not see a pref to lock the pop-up exceptions on the about:config page (filter: disable_button)
    A possibility is to hide that button via code in userChrome.css (#popupPolicyButton {display:none!important;}), but that needs to be done for each profile.

  • Open images as float all in windows and not as uneditable background

    I hope the Elements team read these posts occasionally, and realize how many people want to default images to open "float all in windows" instead of having to hunt through the drop down menus to do it every single time PSE is opened. I also want to be able to open everything as an editable layer, rather than having to hunt through the menus every single time for the "new adjustment layer" command. Both of course were done by default by the supposedly primitive and inferior PhotoDeluxe I used on Windows...

    As for the adjustment layers, you can do that right from the layers panel:
    Just click the black and white circle No need for the menus at the top of the screen. If you go to Preferences>General and turn on Allow Floating Documents, you can have floating windows by default in all recent versions of PSE except for 9.0.3:

  • Problems setting duration for still photos and transitions in iMovie '11

    I downloaded iMovie 11 from the Apps Store last night and am trying to make my first movie with it today. I use still photos exclusively.
    For most - but not all - I like 5 seconds for photos and for transitions 2 seconds. I do vary this on occasion and so do not check "for all photos' or "for all transitions".
    I can't get these settings to work with this version of iMovie. For example, I added a photo (5 sec) then a transition (2 sec) which changed the duration time of the photo - as it should. But when I double clicked the photo, to bring up the inspector window to change the duration of the photo, nothing happened. Then I added another photo. The duration of the first photo increased to 7 seconds and nothing I do seemed to change that.
    The time increases seem random: for example, sometimes the time on the still photo increases to 6:29 sec, sometimes to 7 sec.
    The duration for the transitions always remains the same - 2 sec; it's the time for the photos that jumps around. And I haven't been able to find a way to get back to 5 sec.
    Before posting this, I researched and found an number of earlier posts detailing the same issues.
    However, none of these posts had stars to indicate the problem was solved.
    Has anyone found a solution or is this a bug that should be reported to Apple?

    Interesting!!
    I've spent a lot of hours on this too, but I have come up with a different solution perhaps because I like to vary both the image duration and the transition duration in my movies.
    Here's my process:
    -> Knowing that (a) I want most of the photos to be visible for 5 seconds and most transitions for 2 seconds and (b) that a transition takes half from the photo before and half from the photo after, under File>Project Properties>Photo Duration I chose 7 seconds - each photo will 'lose' a total of 2 seconds from the transitions in front and behind. I did not check either "Applies to all transitions." or "Applies to all photos." - See below for why.
    -> I discovered, as you have, that all the photos have to go in before I add any transitions. This was new to me. With all previous versions of iMovie I simply added a photo then a transition then another photo one at a time. I had to fiddle with the timing adjustments, but at least I could fiddle. With this new version of iMovie I can't. Once the transition is in place, I cannot change the duration of the photo.
    -> Sometimes, I want a longer or shorter duration for a photo. For example, on photos to which I apply the Ken Burns effect, I often want the image on the screen for a slightly longer time. In this case, I have to use the inspector to change the duration before I add the transitions. So I might set the time for 8 seconds; when both transitions are added, the time for this photo becomes 6 seconds, which is what I want.
    -> The same applies if I want a transition to be shorter or longer than 2 seconds. If, for example, I want the duration for a transition to be 1 second, then I have to change the duration on the two linked photos to 5 1/2 seconds.
    All of this requires much more prior planning than I am used to with iMovie. Right now, I working with batches of 5 or 6 photos at a time. I don't put a transition on the last photo in the batch until I have added the next group of photos. And things get really tricky if I don't like my original design. If I want to change anything, I have to take out all of the transitions linking the photos I want to work on, do the math, make the changes in the photo durations, then put the transitions back.
    Perhaps I am trying to make iMovie do more than it was intended to do, I don't know. Perhaps this problem stems from the fact that I bought just iMovie 11 from the Mac Apps Store and not the entire iLife 11. Don't know that either. But at least I have found a way to make the movie look the way I want it to look.
    Thanks for sharing your process. I will use it when the circumstances are right.

    Check the Recently Deleted album. Deleted photos will reside there for up to 30 days. This allows all those people who accidently delete photos to recover them, something they couldn't do before. To actually free up the space you might have to delete the photos in the Recently Deleted album.

  • How set authorizations for sales reports and other reports in SAPB1

    Hi, I'm currently working in SAP Business One Version 8.82
    The issue I'm facing is that I want to set it up so that certain users cannot see other users' sales information.  I know that I can turn on or off the Sales Analysis Report for various users for instance, but what I really want specifically is this.  Suppose we have 3 different teams: Team A consists of (Angie, Angela, and Anita the manager), Team B consists of (Bob, Barbara, and Ben the manager), Team C consists of (Cat, Charlie, and Courtney the manager).  I would like to make it so that everyone can view the individual sales order documents of everyone else (in case a customer calls and needs information, but the salesperson who created that document isn't there); however, Angie should only see her own orders when she does a Sales Analysis while Anita, the manager of Team A, should see the the orders of Angie, Angela, and herself of course.
    To summarize, I'd like to see the following
    1.  Each salesperson can lookup and view any sales order.
    2.  Each salesperson can run an sales report to view all his/her own open sales orders.
    3.  Each manager can run a sales report on his/her subordinates, but not on the other managers or their subordinates.
    4.  The boss or other people working in corporate are able to run a report on all open sales orders.
    What's the best way to approach this?  Is it best if I create my own report?  I haven't created any reports from scratch yet, so I'm not sure exactly how that works.  I'd like to be able to group the salespeople up by location if possible.  The sales analysis report doesn't really do that, but it is useful.  I just don't want everyone to be able to see the numbers on their peers.
    Thank you I appreciate any help or advice.

    Hi,
    1.  Each salesperson can lookup and view any sales order.
    Answer:
    Create own report by using query and save under query manager and the assign for all group. So that all sales person can run this query  and can get sales order detail.
    2.  Each salesperson can run an sales report to view all his/her own open sales orders.
    Answer:
    Create individual query ( add condition in where clause slpname = 'XXX') for each sales person and save it under query manager and assign to particular user group
    3.  Each manager can run a sales report on his/her subordinates, but not on the other managers or their subordinates.
    Answer:
    Create query for only particular team (  condition is slpname = XXX OR YYY OR ZZZ) and save under query manager. Make schedule report on this and send it to only particular manger
    Same way create for another manager and schedule report.
    4.  The boss or other people working in corporate are able to run a report on all open sales orders
    Answer.
    Create query for all sales person and schedule report to big boss.
    Hope you can get an idea.
    Let me know if you need sales report ( advice required field)

  • External hard drive for both windows and mac

    hello, all - just bought a western digital 500gb my book premium edition external hard drive. will be using for both pc and macbook, not necessarily to share files (though i may on occasion), but rather as a backup. been researching the discussion boards and concluded that i should use it as pre-formatted fat32. few questions...
    1) if i do use to share files, from what i understand i will be able to read windows files with my mac but i can't read mac files with windows (unless i have macdrive installed). is this correct?
    2) since mac can read/write to fat 32, is it necessary to partition the drives and keep the files separated? i talked to a "computer guy" earlier today and he said i should consider having two completely separate external hard drives as having files from two different operating systems on the same drive could cause major problems for both... i didn't really believe him.
    3) i have seen different posts stating using fat32 format for mac limits file size to 4gb. another post said 32gb. which is right? i have os is 10.4.7 if that makes a difference.
    thanks in advance for any insight.

    2 - i don't mind partitioning at all. but he strongly suggested not even partitioning but using two completely separate hard drives. yeah, the 500gb was a bit overkill, so if i can use it for both as opposed to one and buying an additional, i'd rather.
    2/3 - if i partition, is it best to divide it into ntfs and hfs+? or should i keep the pc portion fat32? if the mac portion is hfs+, can i store any size file? i have videos that are anywhere from 10-20gb, and i'd like to get them off my computer and into the external drive.
    thanks.
