How to change the dimensions of a display (not resolution)?

I use a 27" iMac with a 27" Dell Monitor (1920x1080). Physically, the displays are nearly the same size, even though the resolutions are very different. This means that in 'Displays > Arrangement', the Dell monitor appears much smaller than the iMac monitor. So even though the displays are almost exactly the same height, I have to choose only a certain amount of the iMac screen that will allow my mouse pointer to move over to the Dell screen.
What I would like to do, if possible, is correct the 'size' of the Dell screen, and fix how my mouse can move between the 2 displays. Anyone know how I can do that? Thanks!
FYI: Monitor is connected via MiniDisplayPort to DVI adapter cable. Monitor is a Dell s2740L, and the iMac recognizes it as such.

Maybe there is a way; I don't know of one as the size of the display is made up of individual pixels, i.e. 1920x1080 means there are 1920 pixels horizontally and 1080 vertically. Unless you change the resolution, you can't change the display. Your 27" iMac most likely has a native resolution of 2560x1440, so there are a lot more pixels there (and they are much smaller in order to fit within the same physical space, so the image is crisper and better).

  • How to change the default window size display font size on Lync 2013 main window?

    Hi champs,
    Just a simple non-technical question: How to change the default window size display font size on Lync 2013 main window on Windows 7 desktop?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Did you mean change the Lync: Change the Default Font and Color of Instant Messages just as Edwin said above?
    If not, as I know, there is no natural way to change it.
    If yes, on the latest version of Lync 2013 client, there is a new option “IM” on Lync client “Options” list. And you need to change the default Font and Color of IM in the interface of “IM”.

  • How to change the order of columns displayed in Stacked Canvas

    Dear Member,
    I have a Stacked Cavas which has many Items. How do i change the order of the Items displayed when the form is opened?
    I checked the X-Position in the property palette of each item, all the items have an X-position=0. I am really confused how do i change the order of the columns which are displayed in the stacked canvas when opening the form.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Sandeep

    If i Try to use SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('BLOCK.ITEM', X_POS, myXpos);
    then it will increment each item X Position. The Total Stacked Canvas width i have is 9 and there are total of 36 items in the stacked canvas each of equal width 1.1,
    so the total becomes 38.5 which is greater than 9.
    I saw all triggers in the code, i dont see any code which exclusively determines item positions at run time. As i said before all the items have X position as zero but still they come up nicely.
    i HAVE A button in the form and following is the code which is written in when-button pressed trigger :
    show_view('DETAIL_CNT');
    GO_BLOCK('XX_PA_BUDGET_DTL_BLK');
    where DETAIL_CNT is the content canvas and 'XX_PA_BUDGET_DTL_BLK' is the data block in which items from both stacked and content exsist.
    I dont understand why this is happening.
    Thanks

    Hi all,
    When I open themes editor in Internet Explorer then I can see the option for editing the theme for Scrollbar in Simple Elements. But when I open the themes editor in Mozilla Firefox then the option for Scrollbar in Simple Elements is not shown.
    How to modify the scrollbar property so that the scrollbar can be changed for mozilla browser.
    If not possible in theme editor then how to modify the PAR file of the theme.
    Any solution to solve the problem.
    Regards
    Gauri

    Hi SRiegel,
    You're totally right!
    If we go further, it is not only the color of page numbers that can be reversed, but all the page content! ... And the effect is truly cool! 
    As you well said, here we merely apply a different template to the page. Anything else! Texts (and the table) which appear white are still in black color!

  • How to change the column order in OVS - NOT USING Enhancement Pack 1

    Hi Guys,
    we are currently using NWDS 7.1.
    I cannot seem to chang the order of the columns when the OVS pops up.  We have tried to change the order of the fileds of the custom SAP BAPI that is used for this OVS but no success.
    Please advise on possible changes of the actual BAPI that might help, or things we can do Java side.
    Kind Regards,
    Christiaan

    Hi Christiaan,
    This can be done from Java side in itself.
    This depends on the order in which you add attributes to the node in the context for ovs output.Recreate the context node of ovs output and add attributes one after the other in the same order you want it to appear in the ovs pop - up.That simple.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Ashok

  • How to change the number of items displayed on the screen based on user input

    I need to place a number of input clusters on the user's screen based on the number of input types he will have.  Is there an easy way to do this?  (Say I have 3 different electrodes, I want to be able to add information for each then take this information and add it to a database, this case adding three new record sets to the database.  If I only have one electrode though, I only want one cluster on the screen and only one recordset will be added to the database)
    Message Edited by Vitamin on 01-11-2007 12:36 PM

    Place your clusters in a 1D array and create a property node for the array. You can use the Number of Rows property to control how many elements are shown. Wire the array into a for loop to index it.

  • How to change the transport request of a NOTE without undoing the note

    When we applied the OSS NOTE we put it in a transport request. How can we move the objects into another transport request? Since this is a REPAIR type, SAP does not allow manual copy of the entries. I don't want to include the objects of this transport into another one, Is there any other way?

    1. Create a new transport request in SE01
    2. Select the request and click on "Include Objects: button.
    3. Select "Freely Selected Objects: option from the pop-up windoe
    4. Select "Selected Objects" option
    Now you see three rows without any PGMID selected.
    5. Check the checkbox corresponds to the row and enter the value OBJ & OBJNAME (Textbox without any label). (This valued can be retrieved from your previous request).
    6. Delete the same object from your previous request.
    7. Click on "execute" button.
    8. Click on "Save In request" button.

  • How do I change the name that is displayed as one of the main folders on finder?

    I cannot figure out how to change the name that is displayed as one of the folders (in the red circles in the picture). It currently has my dad's name because he set up the computer but he does not use it and I wanted to try and change the name to my own. I have tried system-preferences/users-&-groups and made changed the admin to my own name but that did not change the folder name. And when I clicked the "unlock to make changes" on the folder menu (left window in the picture) it did not allow me to change the name. Any ideas?

    That is your admin account on the computer. Simple solution:
    Create a new admin user account to your liking. Log into that new account then delete the old account.

  • How to change the icon for print dialog?

    Hello,
    I have a JTable, and with the print() method, I'm able to bring up the Print dialog and successfully print the contents of the table. Example:
    myTable.print( JTable.PrintMode.FIT_WIDTH, myHeaderFormat, myFooterFormat );This works great, but one small detail I'd like to change is the icon in the top-left corner of the dialog. The icon is currently the default Java coffee cup icon, while the rest of my application uses my custom icon. I couldn't find any documentation in the API or tutorials that Java has listed which shows how to change the icon, so I'm not even sure if it's possible (but why shouldn't it be?).
    My question is this: Is it possible to change the default icon in the print dialog? Or do I have to either make my own print dialog somehow, or use a third-party print dialog?
    Thanks

    tjacobs01: Appreciate the assistance (despite your sass). I've already searched the API, tutorials, and this forum. I'm already well aware of the setIconImage() method for JFrame -- after all, that's how I set the icon for my other frames as I previously mentioned. However, I want to set the icon for the print dialog called from the print() method of JTable.
    How would I use setIconImage() for the print() method of JTable? The print() method returns a boolean value, not a JFrame, so I'm just not sure how to implement what you're saying.
    Thanks

  • How do I change the colour of fonts displayed on Firefox itself?

    Not the websites; I know how to change the font style and colour used on websites. What I'm wondering is how to change the font colours of text displayed on the interface of Firefox itself. Specifically, I want to change the font of the "100%" text atop the Zoom option since I have no idea when or how it was changed (might have been me; I don't remember ever doing it, though); I attached a screenshot for better reference.

    Well, if you decide you love the theme and the zoom controls in the top bar, then cor-el's method is still available.
