How do I change the cmd w (close window) shortcut on OSX Lion?

Hi,
I have a macbook air running on OSX Lion, and I can't find the way to change the shortcut cmd+w...
I need those keys for another application without quiting it every now and then, and I can't add or modify any of those controls. Can somebody help me with this?

Thank you for the clarification. Customizing the folder icon,
open your picture you want on the folder with Preview. command -A will select all the picture, command- C will copy.
Open the info pane of the folder without opening the folder, highlite the icon in upper left of the info pane (command- i to open info pane,) and command -v will paste it.
Not all formats work if my memory serves me. PNG files ( like a screen shot) certainly do.

How do I changing the default WIKI Server name on OS x Lion Server?

How do I changing the default WIKI Server name on OS x Lion Server? Enterprise solutions suggested I post this question here to get a direct answer. I have searched everywhere... This would be the META TAG On the top of browsers...

I went looking for this answer, to no avail.
Solution I used:
step 1 - Navigate to the folder /usr/share/collabd/coreclient/locales/en.lproj/ and open the only file there called default.strings.
step 2 - somewhere around lines 74 & 164 you will see the default title "OS X Lion Server". I'm sure only one of the is required to be changed to adjust the title on the window, but I changed both to my desired title. Save and close. If asked for authentication, enter you administrator details.
step 3 - restart the server (or wiki service may work too)
step 4 - done and your Wiki welcome page should show the new title
Finally I have a bookmark that means something by default.
Hope this helps

How do you change the default User in Windows 7 on a non-RAIDed 4 disk setup?

Hi.
I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit on Darling my new machine, which has a four-disk setup without RAID, like this:
SSD OCZ -OS, Programs (C:)
WD 2002FEAX - Media Projects (D:)
WD 1002FAEX - Pagefile, Media Cache (E:)
WD 1002FAEX - Previews, Exports (F:)
This setup, and because it’s unRAIDed (four separate disks), created the User file in the OS disk, right under the Programs (x86) folder, which at times causes files, which are not programs, to automatically be saved in the User file that's in the Programs disk, when in fact Programs disk is NOT meant for storage.
Further, I cannot save stuff in My Documents because that directory leads the files (that I am saving) to the User folder in the OS disk, forcing me to navigate out of there and into an alternative disk, which is time consuming, more so than if i had a directory leading to D disk.
So, I am wondering, can anyone help me change my directory to establish the default User folder in any folder other than C?
Or, if can someone refer me to Windows 7 tutorials, resourses, that are a tad more than Dummy level.
I have heard that changing around the directory as such can mess with the OS, and though not at Dummy level, I’m quite new to PC and profusely insecure about making changes to Darling at all.
Thanks.

Hi folks.
I would like to update you about what happened regarding my wish to move the User location to another hard disk. Heeding your warning, i did NOT attempt that, but rather, moved the location of the My Documents folder in my Library, from its default place on (SSD) disk C:/ (which is the default location because that's where i installed Windows 7,) to another disk - D:/ called "Media Projects".
Here is how my directory looked before i made the change, my three hard disks were outside the Library directory that's on my SSD (Programs disk):
(I did that by right-clicking the My Documents folder in the left column of a browser window, to access the Location tab.)
What this did is, it put driver D:/ under Documents, which is under Library, see picture, which now enables saving documents quickly, by going from my Library directly to my D drive, however it eliminated the "My Documents" folder/possibility all together from the left-column list of folders in the Windows Explorer browser pane.
I am now trying to do the same with Music, Pictures, and Videos, i.e. to move them to D drive, but am unable to do so because right-clicking those icons in the directory does not produce the Location tab in Properties panel, and nor does right-clicking inside the files themselves.
Similarly, right-clicking Downloads, which i also want to have residing in my D drive, does NOT produce a Location tab in properties pane, though it does seem possible to change the directory manually...see picture.....but am wary....
I am still monitoring my new system, and will see if and how this change effects my system's performance.
Thanks.

How do you change the font color on window.StatusTextattribute?

I'm using Forte 3.0.G.2 and can't get the font color to change.
I've followed the instructions in the help documentation by creating a data
field widget (named it _StatusLine) and mapped it as a TextData. In my Init
method I then have a chunk of code to set up the Window.StatusText. It
looks like this:
_StatusLine = new;
Window.StatusText = _StatusLine;
Once that's done the code updates Window.StatusText as needed. All this
works fine except I can't get the font color changed. I've used the Window
workshop to specify a color for the data field widget but it appears that
the underlying Forte libraries has a mind of it's own. Any clues as what to
do? All I'm trying to do is set the color to the default "information"
color - which is blue.
Thanks in advance

Are you trying to change the color of the text that you have added using the "Free Text" annotation tool?
To change the text color to black
Tap the text.
Select Color... from the popup.
Tap the black button in the Color Palette.
Reader will remember the chosen color when you add a new Free Text annotation (the same type) next time.
Please let us know if that is not what you are trying to do.

How do I change the default save folder for screenshots in Mountain Lion

I would like screen shots to save to a specific folder in Pictures (~/Pictures/Screenshots)
There is a way to do this in previous versions of OS-X. Is there another way to do this in Lion, or is the Terminal method the simplest way to do this?
Thanks
Dave

It should still work the same way. I changed mine in either Snow Leopard or Lion and it remains the way i Changed it in Mountain Lion.

Bob, how did you change the icon of your Windows drive?

CandyBar only shows my Macintosh HD in the volumes window.
I am afraid to drag it into CandyBar's volumes window as this might unmount it and cause all sorts of issues.
Thanks ... Ken

Click the icon (of the Winodws drive) and click '+I', do the same with the icon you would like to replace it with. Click the little icon [that is there when you click '+I' (its really small in the top left corner) on the icon you are going to use to make it for the Windows drive] until there is a blue highlight around it. Once it is, click '+c', now go and switch to the Windows drive & make it highlighted, and then click '+v'. You should see the icon change to the one you replaced it with.
This doesn't make very much sense but I hope it helps =)

How do I change the default settings on ical

how do I change the default settings on ical - I upgraded to Lion and now every event is automatically clicked as an "all day" and when I unclick the "all day" it gives me an 8 hour window for my event instead of the 1 hour that I prefer! Help!

Select any particular document you wish to fix. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section select the desired Default Application from the dropdown menu. Click on the Change All button to extend the change to all similar documents.
You can only assign one default application to one type of document.

Or, if you don't like fiddling with Xdefaults file, you can simply make urxvt transparent by executing it like "urxvt -tr -sh 20", where the number represents the transparency level. However, this is only pseudo transparency, but I like it better than resource-consuming compositing.
Will give it a try. I'm not against .Xdefaults - just haven't used it that much and know only the basics ( color schemes )

Changing the colour of frame window

How can I change the colour of frame window and set some other colours?
Rony

Yes I did. I got this code by Rodney.
JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
UIManager.put("activeCaption", Color.RED);
JFrame frame = new JFrame();It is a good one. But the extreme outer border still looks blue. Also, a window like icon is shown and some dots are shown near to minimize button. How to avoid these?

1° How can i change the color of the text on a button in Roll Over or Click state (Cs5.5)
- I've many button in a doc im creating
- the color of the buttons is white with black stoke & black text
- in roll over state i want them to inverse the color coding (the text white & bottom black)
- currently the text becomes invisible as black on black cant be seen (ive stroked it white but that looks ugly)
- i would just like to know if there is a function made for this?
My other questions:
2° Ive a presentation on which Ive created buttons which tigger pop-up animations
- i have 5 buttons which trigger animations
- the viewer can chose to Click on any of the buttons randomly
- the problem is once the animation is open how can it be close... either:
a) by it self after "40" seconds
b) when ther viewer clicks another button
3° Ive created buttons linking pages..
- "go to page xxx"
- when i do a preview and click on the buttons the links dont take me to the right pages
- is that normal? (maybe in preview its suppose to be like that)
4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'
- what should i do?

You should setup Object Styles - these can also include Paragarph Styles that can be triggered when the Style is selected.

I'm not sure what you mean - I don't do files with Animations

Does it work properly when you export it to the finished file?
4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'- what should i do?
InDesign won't link directly to youtube videos. I think your best bet would be to use Downloader to download the video and embed them directly in Indesign.
5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online?
Thank you for your time.
You can look up how to embed a SWF file into your HTML - but it depends what you mean by "online" there's a dozen ways to get a file "online".

When I opt to "download this as a file" from my email account, Firefox defaults to notepad to open the file. How can I change the default to MS Word?

Question
When I opt to "download this as a file" from my email account, Firefox defaults to notepad to open the file. How can I change the default to MS Word?

Is FF downloading the file as a .txt file? If so, go to "Folder Options" in the windows control panel. Click on the "File Types" tab. Scroll down until you reach the TXT file extension. Look to see what that extension opens with (lower part of panel). It probably shows notepad. Click on the <Change> button. Scroll down until you find "Microsoft Word." Select it and click the <OK> button. That should show the TXT extension is now associated with Microsoft Word. Click the <Close> button at the bottom of the panel.
If FF is downloading the file as any other type, use the same process as above except look for the corresponding extension instead. If the extension is not listed click on the <New> button and create an association using the extension in the file name and then associate it with MS Word.
