How do I change the translucency of the top menu in Mavericks?

I was just wondering how to change the translucency of the top menu in my mavericks desktop seeing as how some images can make the menu bar nearly unreadable. Any help?

Apple > System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Desktop tab > uncheck Translucent menu bar.

  • How do I change the toolbar menu to show only icons, not icons and descriptive text? Thanks for your help.

    My menu toolbar shows icons with a text to the right of the icon describing it. How do I change the settings so that just the icons show. I'm pretty sure it can be done as I've set my desktop for icons only.

    check under settings/ messages
    or
    settings / notification

  • How do I change the top of the page to be able to show more of the theme I have choosen?

    I would like for more of my theme showing on the top of the page.

    You can create extra toolbars to get extra space via "View > Toolbars > Customize" to see more of the Persona.
    You have to put something on a toolbar (drag a Space item onto it) before closing the Customize window because empty toolbars are automatically removed.
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Toolbar_customization
    # Go to Firefox "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" or 'View > Toolbars > Customize"
    # Click the "Add New Toolbar" button to create a new toolbar
    # Give that toolbar a name like persona_1.
    # Drag a Space item with the left mouse button pressed on that new toolbar because empty toolbar are removed automatically if you close the Customize window.
    Repeat steps 2 to 4 if you need more vertical space.<br />
    Adjust the name to persona_2 , persona_3 etc for those extra toolbars.

  • How do I make the top menu a CHAPTER menu?

    Hi everyone - thanks in advance for any assistance.
    My DVD consists of 5 short scenes. Because this is a "portfolio" DVD, the scenes are not meant to be viewed sequentially. So when someone pops the DVD in, the first (and only) menu I want them to see is a Chapter selection menu.
    In iMovie, I put Chapter marks in front of each scene, which iDVD is recongizing nicely. So the content is working right - I just want to avoid that opening screen.
    I thought I'd be able to go into the Map and delete the "Play Movie / Scene Selection" screen, but the program won't let me. Can anyone suggest how I can do this? Thanks!
    BTW, I'm currently using the Shelves theme.

    Right now all 5 clips are in one iMovie project. But I can't access them anymore because when I put them in the Timeline, they disappear from the clips window. (I guess Apple thinks I'd never want to use the same shot twice?) I've found that I can drag the clip from the Timeline back into the Clips window, but then it's gone from the Timeline. So clips can't exist in both places? Wierd.
    If you Option-Drag the clips from the clips pane to the timeline, a copy of the clip will remain on the clips pane.
    You can get all five clips as separate movies by doing 'copy' and 'paste' of each clip (one at a time) into five different iMovie projects.
    But when I Share to iDvd, it doesn't add the new movie to the existing iDvd project - instead it seems to create a new project each time.
    Don't use the 'Share to iDVD' command from within iMovie. It will not do what you want this time, and even in the future don't use it because it causes double rendering of the movie clips.
    Close each iMovie. Then open your iDVD project and import each clip's movie by dragging and dropping them into the main iDVD screen. The movies will be under 'media'->movies.

  • How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the full screen?

    How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the whole screen, as opposed to just about one third; the other two thirds display the full text of the selected email?

    You can't change the display in the Mail app, if you are holding the iPad in landscape orientation then the left-hand third will be for navigation, and the right-hand two-thirds will be an email. If you hold the iPad in portrait orientation then the navigation section becomes a drop-down section.

  • How can I change the background of a running webpage on my own. Example Facebook I want to change its backround color from white to black just in my view not for all

    How can I change the background of a running webpage on my own. Example Facebook I want to change its background color from white to black just in my view, not for all. Cause I really hate some site with white background because as I read for an hour it aches my eyes but not on those with darker background color.

    You can use the NoSquint extension to set font sizes (text/page zoom) and text colors on web pages.

  • In the Menu Bar, under File, then Open File, how do I change the selections?

    I have Firefox 11.0 and Windows 5.1 (2007). In Firefox, I click on FILE in the Menu Bar, then OPEN FILE (Ctrl+O), and I see a small box; it says Look in: Mozilla Firefox. Below is a selection of files within the folder Mozilla Firefox. To the left is a column of four other folders: Downloads, My Computer, John, Lori. The last two are obviously two of the folders I've created on my computer, using Windows. But I don't know how they got here! I have no recollection of customizing this particular Firefox menu option by adding those folders, nor can I figure out what to do in order to further customize it. Can anyone tell me: (1) how can I change the original "Look in" option so that it opens with something other than "Mozilla Firefox" (which, after all, I never need to access)? (2) how can I add/delete/change the choices offered in the column on the left, so that different folders are listed? (Currently, if I want to access my Windows folders/files, I first have to minimize the Firefox screen; this seems to me a nice shortcut, but I'd like it to include shortcuts to the folders I use the most, which does not include "Mozilla Firefox"!) (3) Is this actually a Firefox feature, or is it a Windows feature? It does look like Windows (Windows style, Windows folders), but it appears only in the Firefox Menu Bar, along with Bookmarks, Tools, etc. Thanks!

    This sounds like a Windows thing ( You can post a photo and I can tell you for certain). Those folders are Windows system created folders that your computer has had since it was installed, all Firefox does is use the Windows File picker, which is what you see when you open that window. So, to customize you'd have to do that from Windows Explorer (not Firefox).
    The Window should however remember what folder you were in last.

  • How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the Bookmarks Library?

    How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the '''Bookmarks''' Library?
    Since the upgrade to version 9.0.1 of Firefox, the Bookmarks feature changes are confusing me. They seem to be confusing themselves as well. The list of bookmarks has changed. The font size is so small that my aging eyes cannot read it without fogging the screen with my breath. Some folders are out of alphabetical order (where I know they were previously good), and some are missing altogether (folders to which I frequently add references).
    As for missing or deranged files or folders, was there something that I should have done or now need to do to recover those after the upgrade (or before)?
    With regard to font size,
    1. there is no “Edit Bookmarks” or like option to edit the list in this version
    2. the “zoom” option in the “view” list of functions is greyed out when in “Show All Bookmarks” window
    3. expanding the browser window has no effect on font size
    4. “Preferences” settings for font size has no effect in that window either, including advanced settings
    5. “Help” offers none that I can find.
    Can any of you Help?!?

    Maybe this extension helps:

  • Wrong Apple ID: How do I change the Apple ID prompt when Updating All Apps?

    How can I change the (wrong) Apple ID from the password prompting dialogue when I am already signed in Apple Store with my own ID?
    More details of my problem:
    When I try the Apps' Update-All option in my iPod 4, the password dialogue prompts me with my girlfriend's Apple ID; YET, I AM signed in the Apple Store with MY own Apple ID.
    I have already verified my ID under Settings/Store. I have also signed out, signing back in with my Apple ID, just in case. No problems there, for I DO sign in with my own ID ok. The problem is just the prompt dialogue for password, when I try to use the 'Update All' feature it prompts me for password with her ID, not mine.
    If I go back to Apps and choose the Categories (or Top25) menu, at the bottom of the page, it shows me signed in (my Apple ID). If I try to update one Apps it will do ok. But if I try to Update All it will prompt me for password using her ID, waiting for me to type in HER password. I cannot change the Apple ID on that dialogue (static). If I use my password, it will return the "wrong password" dialogue.
    How can I change the prompt for the Update All? What is going on here that I AM signed in but my iPod prompts me with her ID. My iPod is registered under my Apple ID. I have already tried the Hard reset by pressing Home and Power buttons simultaneously, to no avail. I am also using my own network to go Online. I am also with the latest OS in my iPod and my Mac's iTunes.
    Thank you!
    PS This problem is not occurring in my iPhone 4 (same account) nor my Macs.

    Does not work for me. (My iPhone is not jailbroken.)
    I downloaded a paid app "Imray Marine Rules and Signals v1.5" in the USA with my original account (Account1) then moved countries and needed to create a new Apple account (Account2). If I get 'Info' for the app, it is registered to Account1.
    A new version 1.6 of the Imray app has now been released.
    I have set up only Account1 on the iphone (settings - App Store) and both Account1 and Account2 in iTunes on my computer. My iphone always tells me there is 1 app to update. However, when I try to update this app on my iphone, I get asked for the password for Account2, then the download fails as it says I do not have a paid earlier version to update.
    When I am logged into my computer iTunes as Account1 and try to update it on the computer iTunes, it says there are no apps to update (although my version of the app is definitely the old version).
    When I search for the app in iTune Store, it tells me I have already downloaded version 1.6 of the app and the download button is grayed out.
    If I temporarily delete the app from my iTunes then try to re-download, I am asked to purchase it again.
    If I log into iTunes as Account2 then try to download it, I am asked to purchase it.
    Any ideas? I feel I have tried every option and no success.

  • HT201361 Is it possible to save the screenshot files to a different folder than desktop. How can I change the folder?

    Is it possible to save the screenshot files to a different folder than desktop (that is the default). How can I change the destination folder? Thank you, Sal

    To change the screenshot capture location to a new place on your Mac, first think of a location that would serve you properly. We like to place ours in a "Screenshot" folder located inside of the User's "Pictures" folder. To change the location to this new location, open the Terminal and enter the following command:
    defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Users/[u]/Pictures/Screenshots/
    Replace "[u]" with the name of the user on your system. Once you have entered this command, let's restart the screen capture utility by restarting the SystemUIServer by entering the following command:
    killall SystemUIServer
    You can optionally log out and back in instead of entering this second command, thus restarting the SystemUIServer. Once restarted, all screen captures taken from here on out will end up in your /Pictures/Screenshots/ folder in the User's home folder on your Mac.
