How do I make the mouse pointer bigger?

How do you go about making the mouse pointer bigger on the IMAC?

I think it is much easier for learners, but can I suggest these forums are excellent for general help. However, do find a moment to fill in your machine details in your profile; model identifier, current OS version and RAM figure. It's a great help to those helping you to know what machine they are needing to think about.

How can i change the mouse pointer image?

Hi friends!!
It's possible to change the mouse pointer image in Swing?
Thanks a lot.

There's a setCursor() method on the frame component.

How can I make the mouse follow as I point?

I am brand new to captivate and incredibly frustrated. I'm
trying to record a web site walkthrough and have selected
"Demostration." No matter what setting I change, the mouse only
moves when I click, but I want to point to things as I narrate. Can
anyone help me understand how to make that happen?

Welcome to our community, murphisto
Captivate doesn't exactly work in this manner. Basically here
is how the process works. You open an application. You open
Captivate and configure it to record the application. There are
different ways to record. You elected Demonstration. When recording
in Demonstration mode, the following happens.
Where you click or type, Captivate captures the screen. The
screen capture becomes the background image for the slide. The
mouse coordinates are tracked. In other words, where it started and
where it stopped. So each slide has a single mouse movement. On the
first slide where mouse movement was recorded, you may adjust the
start and end spots. But each slide afterwards only offers you the
ability to adjust the mouse ending spot. The starting spot is
determined by where it STOPPED on the slide before.
You may wish to investigate using Full Motion Recording
(FMR). But if you choose to go that route, you need to be aware of
some factors. Captivate was never designed to be a Full Motion
product. It's better than it used to be, but far from perfect. If
you do record in full motion, keep it very brief. Just a few
minutes worth. If you find this method of recording and playback
are what you feel are best, you will find yourself constantly
frustrated with Captivate. In that case, you should investigate a
different product that was designed with full motion in mind.
Camtasia Studio, Fraps or one of the others.

How do I make the toolbar buttons bigger

The toolbar customization allows me to make the toolbar buttons smaller, but it doesn't allow me to make them any larger; I have a large screen and poor vision and have trouble seeing the small buttons and tiny fonts since the firefox 4 upgrade.

The easiest way to do this is with screen zoom.
In System Preferences, choose Universal Access. Make sure Zoom is set to “On,” then click “Options….” At the bottom of the sheet that slides down, make sure “Use scroll wheel with modifier keys to zoom” is checked, then click the text input box to the right and press the Control key on your keyboard. You should see a ^ in the box. Click Done.
Then when you want to interact with smaller elements on the screen, hold down the Control key and scroll up using the wheel or ball on your mouse, slide one finger up on your Magic Mouse, or slide two fingers up on your trackpad. The screen will zoom in towards your pointer, and it will be much easier to target small items when zoomed in.
Hold Control and scroll down to zoom back out.
Hope that helps!

How do I make the days NUMBER BIGGER?

I have been using Palm for the past 10 years. For those ten years every week I print out the month (on a sheet of paper) and I put it on my wall next to my computer. This way I can always take a quick look at my month.
Last month I switched to iCal. I'm having two issues with iCal. #1 the months are printed in landscape mode (Palm would print in portrait). And #2 is driving me crazy, and that is that the DATE numbers are very small.
Is there a way I can make the FONT of the DATE numbers BIGGER?
The font for the DAYS print out at 10 point size. I wish it would be at least 16 or even 24 pts.
I see an option for making the "event" fonts bigger, but the day's numbers are still tiny.
: (

I can't believe these is no option to make the type bigger!!

How do you make the "mouse down event" achnolage the area of an image

Hi
I am trying to program a simple game.
In this game I would like to insert
giff images, that when "clicked on"
by the mouse, will finallly return some kind of action.
In the book that I am reading, I have learnt how to
use the basics of the "mousedown event".
This I found out would be no use to me for what I am trying to achieve
at this moment,
because it only alows me to choose one coordinate at a time.
Is there any class that will able me to click anywhere on the "area" of the giff image instead of only one coordinate?
I hope I am clear enough..

And this is how you create the JLabel:
JLabel j = new JLabel(new ImageIcon("yourImage.gif"));

How do I make the window controls bigger

the red green and blue buttons in the top left of a window. Is there any way to make them bigger like in 10.6. They're too small. Thanks?

More like the colors have changed to conform to their idiotic monochromatic push and dulling everything in sight, but I think the sizes are the same. Maybe, doesn't look good on the iOS devices they're testing it with. If it doesn't meet your needs or expectations, file a bug report with Apple for loss of functionality.

I'm brand new to Macs and Air. How do you make the onscreen text bigger overall. The print is super small?

I am going blind trying to see the tiny text on this laptop. I'm sure there is a way to make it bigger overall. Also need bigger text (to see as I type) on e-mails? What do I do?

Overall ?
Try a different resolution
Open System Preferences > Displays > Display > Scaled
For Mail. With Mail open, from the menu bar, click Mail > Preferences then select Fonts & Colors tab.
Click Select to change the font and font size.

Saving as a PDF -How do you make the PDF not bigger than the original file?

I am running Mac OS X Panther.
I understand that Mac OS X creates a "Digital Master" PDF file, which is larger than a typical PDF file because the resolution of images in the file is not scaled down. The PDF file includes each font character used in the document.
Problem is this.
I actually want the PDF NOT to be bigger than the original document file.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks
J Slater

jslat,
It's probably most important to know exactly what you intend to do with the saved pdf file? Are you going to need to print the pdf etc.?
This Apple Knowledge Base article may help if you haven't already read it:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1035.html
littleshoulders [:-)
edit: You have posted in the 10.3 Panther OS and earlier forum and you appear to be using 10.4 (Tiger) by your computer specs below your topic which may handle pdf's somewhat differently. In your post you mention Panther so I just wanted to clarify if need be.

How do I make the marching ants bigger so I can see them?

Hi.
I just "upgraded" to Photoshop CC and a new macbook pro on Yosemite.
I have been using photoshop since the 90's and this is the first time Im having serious problems with it.
The "marching ants" are impossible to see when using the magic wand to select.
Im sure there are better ways to select these days- but I have a method to my madness and need to be able to see what Im doing.
And yes my glasses prescription is up to date.
It feels like its a function of black and white imagery and this new screen which though "better" doesn't feel "better"- in fact it makes many things harder to see...
Any advice would be very very much appreciated.
Thank-you

2880 must make your UI look very small. I have a display that supports much higher res but to work comfortably, I drop my screen res back so I can see what I'm doing in PS and other Adobe apps.

How do I make the page appear bigger or smaller?

On a couple of wesites that I go to frequently the type and or font has either decreased or increased in size. How do I get these particular pages back to their original settings?

You can reset those pages to the default zoom level with '''{Crtl + 0}''' - that's ZERO - while you are viewing those pages.

Changing the mouse pointer to a cursor?

Hi,
I am using a graph or perhaps a polar plot, not sure yet, but I realy wanted to know if there is any way to make the mouse pointer act like a cursor, such that I can click on something on the graph and know where the mouse clicked (the coordinates) and perhaps change the appearance of the hand to something else? So I DO NOT have to use a cursor. I want the user to just click and not have to drag a cursor around.

Check out the Gtoolbox at gtoolbox.topcool.net. It has the functionality you are looking for.

The mouse pointer has disappeared; how do I make it reappear?

The mouse pointer doesn't show, so I have to do everything by tapping on the screen.

When a link is rolled over by the mouse pointer a very annoying pop up with the link address shows up. There seems to be no way to prevent this from happening. How can this pop up be made to go away?

no matter what website, every time I move the mouse pointer over something to click on a line of black printing in a thin white box pops up at the bottom of the screen and shows me the http address of the item I'm about to click on. I want to shut this function off or remove it if possible. I find that the previous version did not do this, it seems to be unique to 6.0. It's VERY distracting and ANNOYING. How can I make it go away????

When you hover the mouse cursor over any link, it will display the link details at the bottom left of the screen; black font on white background.
This display can be very important as it shows the full address of the hyperlink. This can be particulary useful for checking on whether the link is bona-fida. For example; if you receive an email that looks like it is from a bank , hovering over the link will indicate instantly that the link is pretending to be something it isn't.
Another example that can be useful; a website link may say 'contact me' rather than give the actual email address. However, when you hover over the link, the actual email address will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. If you click on the link then Outlook usually opens, however I do not use Outlook, so displaying the email address is useful.
This display is something that has always been present and it is also displayed if you use IE.
However, I can see that this annoys you, so you could try the following:
[[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/link-location-bar/?src=api]]
After installing the addon, you will need to restart Firefox, then go to History and Restore previous session to get all your tabs and webpages back.
You will now find that when you hover over any link, it will now display in your address bar on the right hand side.
If this helps, please say this question has been solved.
