How can I get such a desktop style?

Hello,
yesterday I installed xorg and fluxbox the first time on my computer. Before I used arch linux only with console and because of that the style wasn't so important
But now I want a nice Desktop with fluxbox and I found a picture from a really nice one:
http://www.boxwhore.org/modules/wfdownl … /alssi.png
I downloaded the the theme, but my terminal emulator isn't transparent! Which terminal emulator is used on this machine and how can I get it transparent?
And which file manager ist that?
An other newbie question:
The font DejaVu Sans 9 is used on the desktop, which you can see on the picture! I configured xorg.conf to use freetype fonts but I don't know how I can change the font in fluxbox. At the moment my font size is to small. I want a larger size and a more eye candy font like "Dejavu Sans"
Thanks for you hints!
Greetings,
Flasher

The Fluxbox menu (which clearly seems to be a homebrew one) states that it might be Eterm .

How can I get the MS-DOS style filename?

Hi all;
How can I get the MS-DOS style filename from LabVIEW?
I mean, in Windows if I have the following dir/file:
"C:\My Documents\Misc Folder\text.txt"
In MS-DOS style looks something like:
"C:\MYDOCU~1\MISCFO~2\TEXT.TXT"

A call to a kernel32.dll function does the job. See the attached VI.

How can I get back my lighting styles?

Hi,
I took away all the lighting styles (17 of them) from my Photoshop Elements by mistake, not understanding that they would disappear
completely. I cannot seem to find them anywhere on my coomputer any more. How can I get them back?

Thank you for the answers so far. As to hatstead's link, I'll check that out. As to R Kelly's comments, yes, I am talking about the styles in Filter-Render-Lighting Effects (although my version is in Swedish). The problem is, I likely do not have another version at home or anywhere else, plus I am afraid I have thrown the disk away when cleaning (why did I ever do that? sigh!) - the program came with my desktop in 2007 and I never bothered much about it until I started playing with it lately - and then this mistake happened. I believed the "take away" button in lighting effects just meant that the style then on top would go away from the picture I was working on, but I was wrong...

How can i get iPad calendar/contacts style for my iMac (lion)?

how can i get my iMac (10.7.4) to use the VERY HANDY, MUCH FASTER iPad style calendar & contacts views?
iPad3/new iPad - date bar w/ months & arrows at the bottom, day-week-month-year- & LIST option at top - THIS IS QUICK!!!
iMac -sloowwww flip a month - OR click to view months - click here to view date..... even adding a month bar to quick click at top would be faster.
it's also like this w/ contacts -
iPad3/new iPad- QUICK alpha tabs on side that show name on left w/ info on right w/ QUICK contact options to message, FT, share.
iMac contacts - groups/or all - scroll to find/click names or search - no quick contact tabs like the iPad.
Does anyone know how to incorporate the FAST features of the iPad3/new iPad to my iMac?
Lack of these options must be an oversite and hopefully an update will soon be comming out implement these quick features across the board on all apple devices?!?! Until then - any ideas?
Quick, userfriendly... we all want that!

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

How can I get to the desktop?

Can't get to the desktop. When I press the Start button, or the combo Command-Ctrl-Start I get the musical cord but no desktop. I always shut it down with the Shut Down command from the Apple menu. Could this be another motherboard problem? The motherboard was replaced in 2007 by an Apple technician. Does a MB only last 2 years? Is there any way I can recover files? There are quite a few I really need. I'm a photographer and can't replace those files.

Anne,
1. It's unclear from your post: Does anything show up on your monitor? If not, check your connections.
2. It could be a motherboard problem, but the happy mac sound would indicate that it isn't.
3. Yes, it is possible to recover files. How old is your hard disk? Have you backed up your files? If your had disk has failed, recovering your files can get expensive.

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

How can I get the CC desktop app to work properly?

Hi,
I purchased a subscription and now I'm trying to install Adobe CC applications on my computer.
Unfortunately NOTHING is working the way it should…
I have tried calling support but they haven't called me back anymore.
Today I finally managed to get the Creative Cloud Desktop app installed, but it keeps giving me this message:
"The Creative Cloud installation is no longer functioning, please uninstall and download again from…"
I think I have tried all suggestions I found; uninstalling the app, repairing disk permissions, shutting down and starting up again, using the cleaner tool, renaming the OOBE folder in my Library… All steps in all order and with a restart and repairing disk permissions in between.
Also I followed all steps mentioned here: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
The only thing I can think of that didn't go as described is the verification of the Cleaner Tool, also no log file is created.
- When you see the message "Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool completed successfully," click Quit and restart your computer.
- In a text editor, such as TextEdit, open /Users/[user name]/Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.log.
I'm not sure what else there could be, is there anyone that has had similar problems and found a way around it?
All help is appreciated
By the way, my MacBook Pro 13" Retina is running OSX 10.9.5 on a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 with 16 GB or RAM. All CS6 apps have been working without many problems…

Try to follow below steps
Click on Finder and then hold Command + Shift + G keys on your keypad
It will open Go to folder window, type exactly ~/Library and click on Go
Then open Application Support > Adobe folders
Trash AAMUpdater and OOBE folders.
Now click on finder and hold Command + Shift + G keys on your keypad.

Make sure to remove ~ symbol.
Then open Application Support > Adobe folders.
Trash AAMUpdater, Adobe Application manager, OOBE folders.

How can I get Apple Remote Desktop to disappear from my App Store updates list?

My Apple Remote Desktop software shows up in my App Store updates list. But I have already updated it to version 3.6.1 and it shows as "Installed". It is greyed out and will not go away. Any ideas on how to make it disappear is most appreciated.

All the suggestions I have read have not worked for me.
But you can try:
Running Software Update from the Apple Menu
Logging in to the Mac App Store with the account that purchased ARD
Deleting various Apple Store .plist files
NB I haven't tried removind ARD and reinstalling.

I have to open website which opens only with google but not from safari. how can i get such google?

i have a website which opens only with google, but not google from safari. how i can get google w/o using safari?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

Turn the visibility of the background layer back on
Highlight the top layer and open a levels adjustment layer above this, and clip the adjustment layer to the layer below (CTRL+G)
Highlight the background layer to make it active, and open a levels adjustment layer above this
Double click on the layer thumbnail of the adjustment layer in step #7 to bring up the levels controls and work the sliders below the histogram to bring out the foreground
Double click the thumbnail of the adjustment layer in step #8 and work the sliders to bring out the background
Open a blank layer at the top of the stack of layers in the layers palette, and create a stamp visible layer (CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+E)
Duplicate this layer and change the blending mode to overlay. Apply Gaussian blur @3px (Filter>blur>Gaussian blur)

My mac desktop will not provide sound from internal speakers. When I go to audio devices window it only shows airplay. How can I get internal speakers back.

There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Some may not apply to your model. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
2. Run Software Update and make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. Other third-party software that has been reported to interfere with sound output includes "Boom" and "Samsung Kies." If applicable, uninstall according to the developer's instructions (not by dragging something to the Trash.)
5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select Built-in Output from the list on the left. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them.
7. If a red light is visible in the audio-out port when sound should be playing, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
11. Reset the NVRAM.
12. Reset the SMC.
13. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/Audio
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate your settings in the Sound preference pane.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
14. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
15. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

It's almost certainly too late.

From the names I'd guess they are temporary files. If excel is running, quit and try again. If they still won't move or delete reboot. If they still won't move or delete...kill a chicken at midnight under an oak tree?
