Hate tile, love fill screen

For some reason, the past dozen times I have changed my desktop picture, it has defaulted to "Tile". I hate tile. Fine with me if tile were removed from the options. How can I get Desktop Preferences to lose its desire to tile? By the way, these are not newly added pictures, but ones I have had and used as desktop pictures many times before with no tile sticking.

Great news, thanks!
Weird how prefs still get corrupted in Mac OS. I have never had a similar issue with Windows.
Yes it is, that's why the Safe Boot etc., an attempt to prevent future mess ups. Windows does several things better, unfortunately it was designed to be controlled from outside your PC!
Is that because I use Photoshop to add background to images to make them the same ratio as my screen?
Yep, good deduction.

  • No longer have options to Centre, fill screen, tile wallpapers

    Hi there,
    Seems I have lost the options to Centre, fill screen, tile etc any wallpapers. Have tried different sizes from 1024x768 and up, even the bundled wallpapers and nothing seems to bring the options back. Was wondering if anyone might have any ideas?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    It reinstalled the Combo update and all was still the same.
    I then created a new folder, added a few pic's of difference sizes and added this to the folders list in Desktop & Screen Saver, then clicked on a few of them all with no options.
    I then removed all the non apple default folders and re added a single new one and the options came back! Added in all my @removed@ folders and the options remained! lol
    Not sure what the issue here or what fixed it, but it's seems to be sorted!
    Many thanks!

  • How to open images in Fill Screen mode from Camera Raw

    I am using Photoshop CS4 for Windows. I created an action that executes Fit on Screen and set the Scripts Event Manager to execute that action on the Open Document event. This works when opening a document from Photoshop.
    Here are my questions:
    1) After opening a raw image from Bridge in Camera Raw, when I then open the image in Photoshop, it does not run the Open Document event action to Fit on Screen. What event do I need to set the action to execute on when opening an image from Camera Raw in Photoshop?
    2) I added Fit on Screen to the action by selecting Insert Menu Item from the Actions menu and then selecting View-Fit on Screen. I cannot find Fill Screen on any pull-down menu (the button found on the Hand tool bar). How can I insert the Fill Screen item (which fills the screen a little more than Fit on Screen?
    3) In the Scripts Events Manager, when you select Add an Event, it says Any scriptable event can be entered here. See the Scripting Reference for the full list of Photoshop event names.. On the following Adobe webpage, I found the Adobe Photoshop CS4 Scripting Guide but I did not find a list of Photoshop event names in that document. Where can I find the list of Photoshop event names?

  • Uncheck "Fill screen with one page at a time"

    Is it possible to set a javascript to turn off the preference "Fill screen with one page at a time" when entering in Full Screen mode? So that way, it will override Acrobat or Reader application preferences when the PDF is open on users computers.

    Everything that's supported is documented here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/11/Acrobat11_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.89.768.html
    Unfortunately, what you want isn't supported.

  • Full screen/fill screen?

    Hello,
    Does anyone know how to make a button in Edge that will make the animation go "full screen"?
    And back to regular?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Hey redesign!
    I used your Fill Screen sample and it works on a Mac (Safari, Firefox and Chrome),
    and on a PC (Chrome, not sure about FireFox yet) but doesn't seem to work on a PC-Internet Explorer.
    Here's the project (it is unfinished, but you can see the Fill Screen button in the bottom left)

    Any idea how to fix that for IE?
    Any help is appreciated!
    Also, I am an Illustrator/Photoshop/InDesign expert if you ever need help with anything

  • On Mavericks: Wallpapers with an aspect ratio of 16:9 or 16:10, if set to "center", will either format as "fill screen" or "fit to screen". Help?

    If I select a custom wallpapers with an aspect ratio of 16:9 or 16:10, if set to "center", will either format as "fill screen" or "fit to screen".
    With other aspect ratios, center works as supposed to.
    Ideas?

    In general this script should work:
    mov GPRM0, SPRM14
    and GPRM0, 3072
    Set System Stream St(Subtitle Stream 1) (On) if GPRM 0 = 3072)
    Set System Stream St(Subtitle Stream 2) (On) if GPRM 0 != 3072)
    Jump Track 1
    The value of 3072 is returned when 16:9 value is stored in SPRM14.
    However some players may disregard this script as they might look for the presentation information in IFO files or in the video stream itself.
    The better approach is to flag one subtitle stream as 16:9 and the other as 4:3 in DVD After Edit if you have an access to it.

  • My desktop image keeps reverting to "stretch to fill screen."

    My desktop image keeps reverting to "stretch to fill screen."  I keep changing it to "fill screen" but next time I power up, it's back to "stretch to fill".  How can I get my Macbook Pro to save the settings with Mavericks?  I never had this issue before.

    By default, Library folders are hidden in user accounts.  To show them, open Terminal and past in the following:
    sudo chflags nohidden /Library/ ~/Library/
    Enter your password when prompted.  Then you can navigate to the folder above and delete the suggested files.  This worked for me.  It was driving me crazy that the desktop kept reverting to the Mavericks wave, as spiffy as it is.

  • Fill screen with zoom for small photo sizes (as in slideshow)?

    Front facing iPhone 4S camera sized photos are too small in iPhoto. Is it possible to set a default to fill screen with zoom for all photo sizes (as in slideshow)? Seems like the old iPhoto worked like this.

    That's what I was afraid of!  I wish it would still scale photos to fill the window also if they're smaller  than the window size (not just 100%), like it used to in older versions of iPhoto. Especially irritating, since the problem photos are from an Apple product, the front facing camera of the iPhone4s.  I already added my complaint to "feedback".
    Thanks anyway.

  • Itunes window fills screen cannot resize

    Somehow iTunes fills the whole screen and I am unable to resize it so that i can use other programs while surfing my music library. I went into preferences and unchecked the fill screen box and the window stays the same and the preferences when viewed again says that iTunes fill screen box is checked off. So now everytime that I want to view another program or internet feature I have to click the fourth button on the mouse in order to access other programs. Also when trying to update my iTouch, the downloaded software maxes out and then freezes returning an error statement stating the connection has timed out.

    the other question i was going to post was regarding why word, excel, powerpoint for the mac automatically start up on a restart of the computer. i have tried to find the preferences that regulate this but the problem still persists. it gets annoying to see all of the windows open up plus previous documents that have been closed prior to shutdown and/or restart. what is the shortcut that i can take to stop these programs from starting up during this process

  • Aperture 3.1 - Love Full Screen Mode, Hate The System Lock-Ups

    Hi Guys,
    I don't know if I'm the only person encountering this issue but Aperture 3 is driving me nuts. While I absolutely love the program and the full-screen mode, what I hate is the frequent lock-ups that force me to completely restart my iMac. Having the application lock-up is highly annoying but at least in "normal" mode I could kill the application from the Dock or Activity Monitor. However, when I'm operating in full-screen mode then I can't switch out of the application and seem to have no option but to completely restart my computer. This problem, which I first started experiencing with version 3.0 but which does seem to have been addressed in version 3.1, is happening so often that I'm afraid now to even use full-screen mode.
    This problem only, to my memory, seems to happen when making adjustments but it does not seem to matter which adjustment. In the most recent occurrence the lock-up happened when I cancelled the application of a Crop by clicking the X icon on the Crop HUD.
    Does anyone know either a) what might be causing the lock-ups, or b) how I can kill Aperture without having to completely restart my computer?

    You could also set up SPACES to see if that works when lock up occurs in full screen
    Apple Icon > System Preference > Desktop & Screen Saver > Hot corners
    I have bottom left set to spaces
    Then drop the mouse to bottom left, 4 windows appear, drag aperture to a seperate window and run there, you desktop is in a different space and can be accessed by bottom left of screen mouse movement (if the mouse works when A3 locks up)

  • Connecting Macbook to Sony Bravia 32" - Won't fill screen and not clear

    I just picked up a Mini-DVI > DVI and DVI > HDMI cord today from my local Apple Store and hooked up my Macbook to my new Sony Bravia 32" HDTV. Unfortunately, I having some problems setting it up. My issues are:
    - I'm not sure how to make my TV the MAIN and ONLY display. I'd like to play games like WoW and watch movies from iTunes on it with the best possible quality and resolution.
    - When connected, the image doesn't fill the whole TV perfectly. It either gets cut off or has black borders. Using the TV's zoom fuction just distorts the image further and possibly cuts off the edges.
    - The quality is less than what I was hoping for. Text is hard to read and pixilated and images just don't look that great. I suspect this might be because it's not filling the whole screen but I am unsure.
    I'd really appreciate detailed instructions on how to deal with the software side of this since my connection is fine.

    Here is a link that should answer your second question about making the TV the sole display:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86286
    As for the screen quality issue, does your TV's manual mention anything about making a computer connection? Does it say to use the VGA port or is HDMI supported for computer use? Also, do you know the TV's native resolution? If it is a 1366 x 768 native panel in the TV, then don't run it at 1920 x 1080 interlaced. That's too high. It will look best if run at it's natvie resolution.
    As for the picture being either too big or too small, that is called overscan. Many newer Sony's have a setting called "Full" under the Wide Mode setting that gets rid of overscan.

  • With iOS 7 there is no option to play Words or scramble with friends in 1x mode...it fills screen, is there a way to fix?

    Before iOS 7 you could select to play words or scramble in 1x (size of iPhone) or 2x (filled iPad screen). With the update, the games automatically open in full screen mode and I see no way to change it. I feel like I have to set the iPad on the other side of he room to play, the image is just too big! Any suggestions?

    You want to just use Dropbox until the dust settles.  To use it from iWork for iOS (assuming you have the Dropbox app installed on your device), open the document in Keynote (for example), tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), choose Open in Another App, choose Keynote as your format, then choose Open in Dropbox and you will get an option to save it to your Dropbox account.  To open it from Dropbox in iWork for iOS, open the document in the Dropbox app, tap the share icon, tap Open in Keynote (for example).  It's a bit clunky, but works. 

  • Removing HP registration tile from start screen in Windows 8.1

    Hi, I just uninstalled that tile from a Windows 8.1 computer. Here's how I did it:
    Right-click the tile.
    In the options bar that pops up at the bottom of the screen, click the Uninstall icon (the graphic looks like a garbage can).
    In the list of options that pops-up, click Uninstall.
    Hope that helps! Post again if you have any more questions.
