How do I make Skype 6.20 interface more compact li...

I just made a big mistake and upgraded to Skype 6.20 on Win 7. The display of contacts is so wdiely spaced that I can no longer manage the availability of my work team by glancing at a small sized Compact view window that displays all of my team (favorites) in a smallish display without needing to scroll. Even with profile pics off, teh display shows less than half the number of contacts in the same real estate due to bigger line spacing and font - both of which do not seem adjustable.
How do I reduce the display font size and Contacts display line spacing OR revert to my old version of Skype? As is, this is not usable for me and my company and as much as I hate to say it, makes Google Hangouts a viable alternative.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you on using the latest versions of Skype like 7.0, these are the settings I've observed people are most interested in to make their Skype function in a more classic mode. In older releases some of these options will have different names or not exist at all.
Enable Compact Chat View
"Tools" - "Options" - "IM settings" - Check "Compact Chat View"
Enable Compact Sidebar View
"View" - select "Compact Sidebar View". When it's enabled there will be a check next to it, when it's not, there won't be.
Disable large emoticons
"Tools" - "Options" - "IM appearance" - Uncheck "Show large emoticons"
Disable automatic file downloading
"Tools" - "Options" - "IM settings" - Uncheck "Automatically accept incoming files" or set it to "choose a folder to save the file in every time"
Disable showing images in conversations
"Tools" - "Options" - "IM settings" - Uncheck "Show images in conversations"
Enable showing timestamps next to messages
"Tools" - "Options" - "IM appearance" - Check "Show timestamp next to instant messages"
Toggle multiple chat windows or a single chat window
"View" - "Split Window View" for multiple chat windows
"View" - "Single Window View" for a single chat window
Displaying Skype credit balance (no longer displayed in the main window)
Your current credit balance can be displayed by viewing your profile in one of the following ways:
1. Clicking your display name
2. Pressing "Ctrl-I"
3. Selecting "Skype" - "Profile" - "Edit your profile"
4. Logging into your account on the website ( http://www.skype.com/go/myaccount )
The Skype website generally does not provide/advertise links to older releases. Most dynamic links will either point to the latest release or the one before the latest.
Below are direct downloads/static links which originate from the Skype website:
Currently the latest version using the new GUI (these may retire if a newer maintenance release comes out):
Skype 7.0 (exe version)
Skype 7.0 (msi version)
The last version using the older style GUI:
Skype 6.21 (exe version)
Skype 6.21 (msi version)

How can I make the Lion iCal display more readable?

How can I make the Lion iCal display more readable?

I'm wondering the same thing.
Under Lion, my calendars' color coding is next to useless because they're suddenly so muted.
Previously I could easily pick out which events belonged to which calendar without effort. Now, all the colors are so light as to be nearly indisinguishable; I must toggle calendars off and on to highlight a calendar's events.

How do I make iTunes music available in more than one user account?

I have 2 user accounts on my computer. One for me and one for my wife. What I'm wondering is how I can make it so that the music in iTunes in my user account can also be available in her user account. When I'm on her user account iTunes is empty and there are no songs in it. I want for her to be able to have my same library in her iTunes. How can I do this?

Hi Bob,
you could try coping all your music onto an external drive & choose that drive as both of yours music folders. It should work... I think.
Or just burn a data disc of your tracks & import them to the second account.
I've not got two accounts on my machine but the above should work, in theory. Give them a try. Though I'm unsure about purchased tracks.

How can I make a flash user interface with buttons to open up and navigate other flash files?

Hello I would like to make a user interface that will serve as a tool to load and unload other flash materials like a slideshow. I would like to make a kind of slideshow with Flash that opens up other flash files which could be around 10-15 slides (frames) long each. I would want to ask if there is any way to make a link between navigation and other slides easily. And if there are ways, what action codes should I use for this. Thank you very much.

All you need to do is load a swf into the main swf and target it with whatever controls you intend. If you are using AS3 then you could use the Loader class to load the swf and then target the Loader.content with your control buttons.

How can I make Skype Desktop the default for Call: links in MS Outlook?

How can I persuade MS Outlook to use Skype Desktop for Call: links (such as those for phone numbers in a Contact Card)? Right now it is using Skype for Business to open them (I have both Skype Desktop and Skype for Business - formerly Lync - installed) and I need to use Skype Desktop by default instead. Office 365 Business (15.0.4727.1003) on Windows 8.1 Pro x64, with Skype Desktop v 7.6.whatever the latest is. Advice very welcome!

How can I make Skype appear in notification Center

Hi, I use Skype a lot, is there someway I can make my Skype notifications appear in notification Center, Thanks.

If the app supports Notification Center it will show up automatically. Try updating Skype and after the update has installed, resart the mac.
If it still doesn't show up in NC, then it doesn't support Notifications.

So here's some more info, Not only have i never used a mac before, I don't really know how to use one, and my girlfriend is at school pretty far away right now, shes not good with computers either. So i don't wanna have to resort to asking her to install jmf on her macbook. If i do have to do that i guess i could get her friend to help her out.
But i'd still rather get this problem fixed. How do i incorperate jmf with my program, so it runs on all computers. I checked the native folder in SipCommunicator 1 release 2 and 3, but its only one dll file called ShellLink.dll
I checked everywhere in both of the downloads and i couldn't find any other dlls.
I must be downloading the wrong thing....
I downloaded
SIP Communicator 1.0-alpha2 release: Generic installer for all OSs
and also
SIP Communicator 1.0-alpha3 nightly builds: Generic installer for all OSs, Java installation required
The reason i got the generic installer is because I have a vista, and i want to run this on a mac. I don't have or know any one living near me with a mac, so i need to be able to build it on my comp.

How do I make a separate image look more natural on a larger image?

I am still relatively new to photoshop. Recently I got into doing photo comics in the science fiction/ action genre. I want to learn a method by which I can make a foreign image that has been modified via scale (from larger to smaller) to look natural on a larger image. For example in the photo comic I have a city playset but the toys are way larger than the city itself. I want to make them scale appropriately to the city to enhance realism whilst making the image look as natural as possible. What methods are best? Thank you.

I think (not positive) that some cartoonists will create block shapes and give them a unit size making it easier to scale the actual objects.
For example a tree which is generally 30-40 foot high you may set to 10 square blocks high and a building that is 13 to 15 feet high you may give it a single square block.
It may not be all that accurate, but it would get you in the ballpark where you could scale it more later when more objects are in the scene. It always helps to compare two objects when deciding the scale.
If you wanted to be accurate, you could google the actual size of the object then use a ratio to scale it. Then all objects would be to scale.

Unable to make skype linked to microsoft and faceb...

hello,
i have skype facebook: account since couple of months. i have open an account with microsoft outlook today. i couldn't make it linked to my old skype account.
how could i make skype microsoft and skype facebook all linked?

I don't understand how this system works. Because, reading this post"60minutes per month subscription gives you 60minutes per month, purchasing it 5 times in a row will still be 60minutes per month." Why does skype allow payment if the subscription convers only 60 minutes? It would allow payment after the subscription period is ended. Now what? I lost my money? Losing money doesnt matter, I wanted this call because it was an urgent call. I lost something more with this subscription. I would pay for nimbuzz and I would be happier than I am now. Such a big organization and such a big application allow some misunderstanding things. This service realy sucks and won't use it anymore. I will ask other people, if they had similar problems.

WHY does Muse upload every page when I only change one thing. And how can I make Muse faster.

I have a bunch of sites I do for people that are similar. Here's one: www.mattfelis.com.
When I make a single change on one page, just a text change (the last time I deleted a freakin' period) and tell Muse to Upload it to FTP host, it uploads every single page in the site. Every one. And since there are 55 pages, that means it takes about 20 minutes with a darned fast upload speed (20MBPS upload). It isn't the uploading that kills me, it's the Exporting of pages. All of them. All 55. Why is it doing this?
And while we are talking about speed, most of the time in working with these files I see what I call the beach ball of death on a constant basis. Just opening a page from Plan Mode or going back to Plan Mode from a page can take 20 seconds. I know, I've counted. Copy and paste between pages can take longer. I am running a 3 year old Mac Pro with 12 gigs of RAM and tons of disk space. How can I make Muse work better. More RAM? To speed it up I find that I have to quit about every 30 minutes and restart Muse to get it back to any semblance of speed. Smaller sites obviously don't do this but big ones (I have a lot of those) do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There's a bug we've become aware of and fixed for the next major release where use of one or more objects on a master page that have different states that require output as separate background images can result in that master page and all pages where that master page is used always being considered out-of-date and in need of re-export and upload.
Unfortunately, there's no workaround short of removing such items from your master page(s).
If you're not already part of the Private Beta Program and are interested in working with the next version of Muse prior to its official release, the Private Beta Program is open to all subscribers who can accept the terms of the Non-disclosure Agreement. You can join via the Help menu within Muse. The Beta Program for the next major release will be started soon.
