GTK+, MetaCity themes, anyone using them yet?

I was just wondering if anyone is using the GTK+ Look and feel, and the MetaCity theme feature? I played around with them on my Windows 2000 machine, and was having redrawing problems when resizing, some tearing, etc... Also it would crash occasionally, and it seemed to slow everything down pretty bad..
I understand that GTK+ and Metacity are targeted to the Linux environment, but I'm looking for an easy way to change themes, without having to write a new LookAndFeel. I've used SkinLF and it seems to work much better than the java GTK+/Metacity combo. Also, if anyone has found good documentation on using GTK+/Metacity on a windows machine please post the link. thanks

I tried for a little while when I first installed 1.4.2, and quickly gave up. The GTK+ L&F definitely has the feel of something that was rushed out the door before it was ready. It's full of rendering errors and odd things.
I've noticed that if you switch to GTK+ and and then switch back to another L&F, various stuff fails to get updated -- I think there's probably some parts of the containment tree for the Synth UI classes that SwingUtils.updateComponentTreeUI() can't traverse, because after switching back from GTK+, there are "remnants" left over here & there.
Hopefully the full blown Synth L&F for JDK 1.5 will be much more robust. Even better would be if it shipped with several professional-looking skins.
Myself, I've gone to using JGoodies PlasticXP L&F wherever I possibly can.

Anyone use JAI yet? How do I resize JPEG?

How do I resize a jpeg that someone has uploaded via a form before I save it to the server? It would already be in an input stream of some sort already.
Thanks,
Spack

I just started reading the JAI docs, but I can think of at least one way to do it with JDK 1.3 code. I would start by creating an ImageIcon from your stream or creating an Image from the stream and feed it into an ImageIcon object. Not sure of exact code to accomplish converting a stream to an Image, although ImageIcon objects can be constructed with a byte array of image data. I understand that creating the ImageIcon will block until the Image is fully loaded, useful in preventing NullPointerExceptions that occur when you try to manipulate an incompletely loaded Image object. From there, try feeding the ImageIcon object and resizing height and width parameters to the following method.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
ImageIcon myImageIcon = new ImageIcon(
bytesFromInputStream );
myImageIcon = resizeImage( myImageIcon, maxWidth,
maxHeight);
// The width and height constraints are meant to indicate
// maximum sizes for the resulting image in either aspect.
// This method should retain the original aspect ratio of
// the image; and its largest aspect will be held to the
// appropriate provided aspect constraint (if the image
// is wider than it is tall, it will still be wider than it is tall
// when resized, only its width will be equal to the
// widthConstraint value.
private ImageIcon resizeImage( ImageIcon fromStream,
int widthConstraint, int heightConstraint)
int imgWidth = fromStream.getIconWidth();
int imgHeight = fromStream.getIconHeight();
ImageIcon adjustedImg;
if ( imgWidth > widthConstraint | imgHeight >
   heightConstraint )
    if ( imgWidth > imgHeight )
      // Create a resizing ratio.
      double ratio = (double) imgWidth / (double)
       widthConstraint;
      int newHeight = (int) ( (double) imgHeight / ratio );
      // use Image.getScaledInstance( w, h,
      // constant), where constant is a constant
      // pulled from the Image class indicating how
      // process the image; smooth image, fast
      // processing, etc.
      adjustedImg = new ImageIcon(
       fromStream.getImage().getScaledInstance(
        widthConstraint, newHeight,
        Image.SCALE_SMOOTH )
    else
      // Create a resizing ratio.
      double ratio = (double) imgHeight / (double)
       heightConstraint;
      int newWidth = (int) ( (double) imgWidth / ratio );
      adjustedImg = new ImageIcon(
       image1.getImage().getScaledInstance( newWidth,
        heightConstraint, Image.SCALE_SMOOTH )
    // return the adjusted ImageIcon object.
    return adjustedImg;
else
    // Assure the resources from the adjustedImg object
    // are released and then return the original ImageIcon
    // object if the submitted image's width and height
    // already fell within the given constraints.
    adjustedImg = null;
    return fromStream;
}From there, you can extract the Image object from myIconImage via myIconImage.getImage() and use that with whichever codec supports Image object conversion. I am pretty sure that the com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.JPEGCodec will do so (or somthing in that package can). Certainly JAI will have something from there.
Good luck,

Anyone Used Kik Messenger Yet?

I was thinking about installing Kik. Has anyone used it yet and has the carrier tried to charge you for texting? On the Kik Website it says you can text for free. I just do not want to get a bill six months down line saying that I owe them money for texting.
Thanks.

If the app uses internet access for exchanging messages, there can be no charge by your carrier in regards to texting - the only charge will be for data access when exchanging messages with the app when connected to your carrier's cellular network - no different from using any other app that requires internet access when connected to your carrier's cellular network.
The only charge for texting by your carrier can be when using the iPhone's Messages app to exchange SMS/MMS. I'm not aware of any 3rd party app that can replace the iPhone's Messages app for exchanging texts through your carrier's network. 3rd party apps don't have access to private iPhone API's, and such as app would require such access.

Re: Interfaces in Forte - has anyone used them?

We are making use of interfaces extensively and have never had the
slightest problem. Interfaces do not cause any overhead, since they are
mainly a means to support type checking by the compiler. At run-time the
interface does not appear any more.

Eric,
You are correct, "manipulate anAIFace object" is not really the correct
way of thinking about what is happening. We are really manipulating an
instance of an object through an interface.
In regards to your other statement: "if Project C needs visibility to B,
it must have B as a supplier Plan." Forte does not force this to happen
when you are using interfaces, which is what causes the problem. Let me
expand on my initial example and add enough detail so that you can create
the problem, which surfaces as a deserialization error:
Project A (No Supplier Plans)
Defines Interfaces: UnitIFace with method GetValue() which returns an
integer
Project B (Contains A as a Supplier Plan)
Defines Class: Unit with attribute _Value as an integer and method
GetValue() which returns _Value. Implements interface UnitIFace.
Project C (Contains A as a Supplier Plan)
Defines Class: Square with method Calculate which accepts an
UnitIFace as an input parameter and returns an integer. This class needs
to be setup as a distributed object so that I service object can be
defined using this class.
Defines Service Object: SqaureSO using the Square class.
Project D (Contains B and C as Supplier Plans)
Defines a class or uses a window that creates an instance of Class B
and passes it to the SquareSO service object that sqaures the value and
returns an integer.
Once this is setup, use the running man to run everything locally. This
will run fine because the dependencies for the local partition end up
including Projects A, B, C and D. Next, run distributed and move the SO
to a remote partition. Now when you execute you will receive a
deserialization error. This happens because the dependencies for the
remote partition only included project A and C. The partition did not
have the necessary information to deserialize the underlying instance of
Class Unit that is referenced through the inteface UnitIFace.
The problem can be resolved by either adding Project B as a supplier plan
to Project C or ensuring that the interface and class are declared in the
same project as I suggested in my previous message. In either case, this
must be resolved by the programmer since Forte is not yet smart enough to
correctly resolve the project dependencies, even though all of the
information needed to establish the correct dependency hierarchy is
available.

Subject: RE: Interfaces in Forte - has anyone used them?
Bradley,
Thanks for that descriptive note on interfaces.
I do have a observation : in that example you gave us, if Project C
needs visibility to B, it must have B as a supplier Plan. Therefore, I
don't quite understand how partioning classes in C would end up with a
run-time errror in distributed mode, given that B supplies C (something
you've perhaps missed out in your example ?).
Also, is it really possible to "manipulate AIFace objects" ? Interfaces
are'nt really objects, they just help implement a compile-time type
check.
Thanks.
Eric Pereira

----<snip>------------------
Example:
Project A - Contains AIFace
Project B - Contains Class B which implements AIFace, depends on Project
A
Project C - Contains Classes manipulating AIFace objects, depends on
Project A
This can run fine locally since the local partition has knowledge of all
the classes in A, B, and C. Now as soon as you throw a service object
on
classes on Project C and push them into a remote partition, your
application starts failing because that partition does not contain the
information form project B since there is no dependency on that project.
The partition needs the information from project B though since it
contains the definitions for the actual implementation objects, however
there was no way for Forte to determine that need when it generated the
partition.
This problem is initially eliminated by keeping the interfaces in the
same project as the underlying business objects. But once you start to
have interfaces implemented by multiple classes from multiple projects,
then this won't cover all the bases either. In any case, it is an issue
that you will need to consider at some level when using interfaces.
Good luck!

With version 3G, you can not create an array of interfaces. I believe
Forte
will have that feature in version 4 (which is scheduled to be in
production
at the end of next year).

I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.

I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.
At first I thought it might be because I was using simultaneously my old iPhone 4S so it somehow realized the emails where being pushed to another device and the it marked as read, this has nothing to do since I have deleted the email account from the iPhone 4S

Contact the email provider for assistance with their service.

[SOLVED] How to change metacity theme in Gnome 3.4?

Hi all,
I would really like to change the default metacity theme from Clearlooks to something else, but keep Adwaita as the default GTK+ 3 theme. Previously, it could be done using gconf-editor and changing the /apps/metacity/general/theme key value, but on my system /apps/metacity/general is completely empty (like all other metacity 'subgroups').
Does anybody know how to set the default metacity theme?

You're not 'stuck', depending on if your are able to fix the theme, yourself. CSS isn't very difficult to read/edit... I've already been fixing a dark theme to work with gtk-3.4. Mostly, certain things have just been deprecated. So usually, it is as simple as launching a gtk app from a terminal (while using your broken theme) and looking at the gtk-related errors (usually parsing errors) then fixing them in your theme, accordingly. It's pretty easy because it will tell you exactly which line(s) need to be changed... The most common problem i've seen that pixel sizes must now have 'px'. And there are also some fixing to do, in terms of fixing parts/widgets that don't look quite right - like maybe having to adjust a color, or border or something. but obviously mileage varies, depending on theme + it's engine.
maybe i've just been lucky, i don't know - but i've got a semi-decent theme working, although there are still things to change and fix

[Solved] Metacity theme question

Hi,
I use a modified version of the "Human" theme but it's not perfect yet.
The ugly 'point' on the left should be removed and at this area the application icon should be shown.
What is needed to modify? Thanks for help.

Is there any way for a formula to ignore other cells without data in them yet?

I'm trying to create a spreadsheet to track my grades. I have all the formulas set up (quizzes, tests, etc. are calculated separately because they are all weighted differently towards the final grade). The "Final Grade" formula has an error because some of the other sets don't have data in them yet (i.e. haven't taken a test yet). Is there any way to get the Final Grade formula to ignore the cells without data yet?
Formula for each category (quizzes, tests, etc): ((SUM [total point column]) / (SUM [total points possible column])) * 100
Formula for Final Grade: (([quiz grade] * 0.15) + ([test grade] * 0.25)) * 100

Hi badwolfgirl,
I agree with quinn that merged cells can lead to many problems. Here is a table with no merged cells
Two Header Rows, one Header Column and one Footer Row.
I have used Cell Fills (colours) to distinguish Quizzes, Tests, Final Exam and Projects.
Formula in Footer B8
=IF(SUM(C)=0,"",100×SUM(C)÷SUM(D))
if the SUM of C is 0 (zero), insert "" (NULL) to make it appear blank. Else insert 100xSUM(C)/SUM(D) to show the % score.
Formula in C8
=SUM(C)
Formula in D8
=SUM(D)
Select B8 to D8 and drag the yellow Fill Handle to the right.
If you want the appearance of merged cells, you can delete the contents of B1 and D1, then show No Border to the left and right of C1
And so on for EFG etc.
The cells are still there (to avoid problems down the track.
Regards,
Ian.

Listening to iTunes radio station and I haven't heard a song from them yet

Like I've been listnening to Flux Pavilion Radio like every day and I haven't heard a song from them yet is this intended?

Just to clarify - When I requested my unlock from AT&T, I received an email from them that my unlock was approved. I verified with Apple that the unlock request had been processed, and then I just had to restore my phone. You can call Applecare at 800-694-7466 and ask them if your carrier has processed your request to unlock the phone. If not, you will need to contact the carrier again (as Gail pointed out - it is the carrier who unlocks the phone).

Anyone used the Global Site Selector yet ?

I believe it came out a couple of months ago. I'm looking at one versus the F5 3DNS boxes. Any thoughts ?

I haven't used it yet, but I am also interested if anyone else has some info on it.
I guess it would be a good idea to use if Cisco devices such as CSS 11000,Local directors, CSM etc. are deployed in the network.

GTK Icon Theme

I get this error when running switch:

Am I doing anything wrong? Or is the new gtk broken?

Hehe, whatever works. I suppose. I got that same nitrogen error before and installing gnome-icon-theme is what fixed it for me. Definitely a strange error.

Has anyone use camptune x with mountain lion even though says it does not support it yet

HAs anyone used camptune x with mountain lion even though it is not yet specific to moutain lion yet?

Tried it yesterday on my imac 21Jan 2013 running mountain lion 10.8.2, total disaster.
Backed up my boot camp image using winclone (great programme)
Purchased and ran camptune x and everything went fine.
Rebooted into windows 7 and recieved error messages find--set--root--ignore floppies--ignore cd/bootmgr
ERROR 15
Gave me a list of options on screen but none resolved the issue.
Booted back into winclone and used the backup image i had just created to reinstall on bootcamp.
Have emailed the company but have had no reply as yet
