How to get reasonable font size with higher screen resolution

I'm using my new Mac Mini as living room PC with 42" plasma screen and tv itself seems to support quite well the 'better' resolutions like 1024x768. Unfortunately then text is too small to read from sofa (which is about 3 meters away from tv). I have switched back to 800x600 resolution where font sizes are almost ok but many programs complaint about the resolution (e.g. Google Earth) and need to change the resolution back and worth to get some OK button pressed which is glumsy.
I have also found pretty good Tinkertool to finetune font sizes but it does not affect all font sizes like I want. So question is there any better solution how I could find theme that suites better for living room purpose (have not find any theme possibilities for MacOSX). In Linux I could finetune X fontserver, in WIndows I could fine tune the theme used to have bigger fonts, how do I do it in this cool mac?

I hear you! I would also like to see an answer for this. I am running Leopard on a Mac Mini on my 50 inch display in the living room. I have set the resolution to 1080p so that the video and photos are as sharp as possible. (man the videos look great)...
But, I have a very hard time reading the menu bar, as well as safari and mail from this machine. I realize that there are ways to increase the font sizes, but:
1) when I restart safari, I have to change the settings each time
2) when I restart mail, I have have to change the setting each time
3) I cannot figure out a way to make the menu bar larger
I really don't want to bring the mac mini down to a resolution like 800X600 - I think it would look horrible on the large screen.
What is a big screen lover to do?
Any help would be most appreciated...
Cheers!

How to adjust website to work with multiple screen resolutions?

hello i have recently designed this website and the formatting isnt correct when veiwed with different screen resolutions
Pleese help!

hello i have recently designed this website and the formatting isnt correct when veiwed with different screen resolutions
Just so you'll know, and to keep the thread clear, resolution has nothing to do with how your page renders or is formatted. A given page will look exactly the same on any resolution screen provided you keep the browser width the same pixel value. It's the variation in that width from one resolution screen to another that causes the difference. And yes, it's the fact that you have used absolute positioning as a primary layout method that is the problem for the reason that JTANNA has already mentioned.
Now - how do you want your page to behave? Do you want it to be fixed width and centered (that would be the easiest). In that case, change this -
<body>
to this -
<body>
<div style="width:928px;margin:0 auto;position:relative">
and this -
</body>
to this -
</div>
</body>
Now, reposition all of your AP containers so that the page is again aligned the way you want, and you're done.

How to get photos from iphone5 with unresponsive screen

My iphone was dropped a few days ago and the screen became unresponsive. All the buttons work fine, but I can't swipe to turn it on or enter my passcode. I took the phone to an Apple store and was told by a not-nice guy that there was nothing they could do and that I could not get any of my photos off of the phone because I had the phone passcode protected. I thought Apple wanted everyone to passcode their phones! I wish I had known that this would prevent me from accessing my photos if anything happened to my phone.
I have sadly come to accept that my phone cannot be fixed and that I will need to shell out big bucks for a replacement. However, I cannot accept that there is no way to retrieve the material on my phone. When I plug the phone into the computer, it is recognized fine and stuff will download to the phone. However, iTunes tells me that it cannot synch FROM the phone until I enter the passcode on the phone, which of course, I cannot do .
I am really hoping that someone will know some trick to getting stuff off of a phone with an unresponsive screen. Please, please help this very sad iphone user. The photos are all the photos I have of my young daughter. I know, I should have learned to to back my phone up, but when I tried a few months ago, I couldn't figure it out, so I have no backup. I even tried to set up iCloud, but I couldn't figure that out either. I suppose I deserve to lose all the photos from my daughter's babyhood . Thanks for helping if you can! (please!!)

Dear Dilbert41, thanks so much for your reply. In "my computer", it shows "other" and "photostream (system folder)". When I try to open the photostream, it says "photostream is not enabled. Sign in to icloud to view photostream. Open icloud control panel." So, if I click on the open icloud control panel and enter my apple id, it tells me that icloud has not been set up. So, I tried to set up icloud, but it appears that I have to set it up ON my iphone first, which I cannot do because the screen is broken. If I could use the screen, it appears I could get around the passcode. Instead, I have the passcode, but I cannot enter it because the screen does not work. I'm sure I had plugged my phone into my computer several times; I remember copying some songs in iTunes. This makes me think that I should be able to synch without reentering the passcode, but unfortunately, that does not seem to work (other sites said that if I plugged it into a computer it had been plugged into before that it would work).

I like the mail feature with one exception; I cannot figure out how to change the font size of incoming mail permanently. And, when answering an email I have to highlight the first few words and zoom it so I can see what I am writing. what am I missing?

I like the mail feature with one exception; I cannot figure out how to change the font size of incoming mail permanently. And, when answering an email I have to highlight the first few words and zoom it so I can see what I am writing. what am I missing?

You can type the email using what you set in preferences and then highlight the text and use command - minus sign (or command - + for larger) to reduce the size of the text.
You can also type command - T and a window will appear allowing you to select fonts/sizes/color/ background highlight.
The above works in Notes also. I haven't tried to do this in any other Apple application.
For incoming emails, you can use the above to reduce font size, but I don't know of a way to permanently set the incoming font size to a default.

Get system font size (CL_GUI_RESOURCES= GET_FONTSIZE)

I'm using CL_GUI_RESOURCES=>GET_FONTSIZE to retrieve the SAP GUI font, so that I can adjust some web content dynamically.
However, I'm getting some strange results back, and wanted to know how I should interpret the result of this method.
When using SAPGUI for Windows 7.30, with a system defined font size of 9, this method returns:
90,000
At first I thought maybe I just need to arbitrarily divide by 10,000 to get the font size in points.
However when using SAPGUI for Java on my retina macbook pro, with a system defined font size of 12, this method returns:
78,545
Can anyone tell me exactly what this method is returning, and how I can convert it to the actual system font size in points?

Yes you can't use CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES from a BSP page. CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES using activeX controls running within the SAPGui to perform most of its actions. Since you have not connection to a SAPGui during a BSP page, you can use this class.
You might want to look at scripting against the Microsoft FileSystem Object. There is a size property of both the folder and file object. A search of Microsoft's website will show lots of documentation on this object and code samples in VBScript and JavaScript. This does opens up all kinds of security concerns from the browser however.

You will need the web browser Firefox installed
http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-6.0.2&os=osx&lang=en-US
Next you will need to add the following addons
Theme Font & Size Changer
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/
NoSquint
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
Theme Font & Size Changer can adjust the size of the type Firefox uses in the toolbar area.
NoSquint remembers per site web page zoom levels and you can set a minimum size for all web pages so any site you visit is made bigger automatically. Safari doesn't do this.
You can see the difference between Firefox and Safari in this picture.
Note: Firefox is highly customizable browser, and I added the green with the yellow type, you won't see that when you first start using it.
It did that to match my desktop picture, grey is depresssing.

How do i change font sizes and colors in ical in OS Lion. Everything is greyed and too small. And how do I changed the color of the scroll bars, which are now invisible?

how do i change font sizes and colors in ical in OS Lion. Since upgrading, all fonts are grey, instead of black, and too small. And how do I changed the color of the scroll bars, which also are grey and almost invisible? And if you can asnwer this, can you tell me how to get back the email format I had before the upgrade? I no longer have column headings and I'd like them. Thank you.

Do you know about changing the font colors for ical, and the color of the scroll bars?
No, I don't. I don't use that program; I fiddled with it just now, and could not find a way to do that.
Perhaps someone else will have an idea.

How do I change font size on the safari tool bar

How do I change font size on the safari tool bar

You can't in Safari.
However you CAN with Firefox and the add-on called Theme Font & Size Changer, also include NoSquint and set a global web page zoom level a bit higher, say 150%.
NoSquint has buttons on the tool bar to increase/decrease each websites size AND IT REMEMBERS IT!
Under the Tools Menu > Customize you can add more toolbars as well, but they have to have something in it of course.
(note: the green with yellow type is a person you can add from thousands of choices, it's not the default look of Firefox)
So this setup, although it may appear large here compared to Safari, is fine on my 17" when sitting back about 3-4 feet, takes up about 1/6th of the screen, so I'm not hunched up close, and I have a lot of screen real estate to play with anyway.

How to get the byte[] size dynamically from the StreamMessage object

Hi all,
Using JMS, I am receiving the FDF file as StreamMessage from the queue and attaching it to the PDF file which is present in the local system.
For that, I have written the code as follows:
{color:#0000ff} Message msg = jmsTemplate.receive();
if(msg !=null && msg instanceof StreamMessage)
StreamMessage message = (StreamMessage) msg;{color}
{color:#ff6600}//hardcoded the byte array size value
{color}{color:#0000ff} byte[] bytes = new byte[{color:#ff0000}856{color}];
System.out.println("read msg="+message.readBytes(bytes));{color}
{color:#0000ff}PdfReader pdfreader = new PdfReader("D:\\Managing_Workflows_No_Comment.pdf");
PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(pdfreader, new FileOutputStream("D:\\12345.pdf"));
FdfReader fdfreader = new FdfReader(bytes);
stamp.addComments(fdfreader);
{color} {color:#0000ff} stamp.close();
{color}{color:#000000}The above code is working fine except with the hardcoded of {color:#ff0000}byte array{color}{color:#ff0000} size value{color} which is given in {color:#ff0000}RED{color} in color.
Can anybody know, {color:#000000}*how to get the byte[] size dynamically from the StreamMessage*{color} object ?
Any help would be highly beneficial for me !!!!
Thanks and Regards,
Ganesh Kumar{color}

When you create your stream message you could add an property to your message, something like streamSize that would contain the number of bytes in your stream message. Then you could get this property from the message before declaring your array.

In mail, how do you increase font sizes in a reply. Cannot find things like "underline", "italic" etc either. Where are they? Entourage was easier!!

Preferences/Compsing/set to Rich Text (only then you can use bold etc).
Then Rightclick the toolbar in Mail, and clcik Customize the toolbar.
Put the icons (with or without text) that you want on your toolbar.

How to change the font size of Text Box Properties Appearance tab into 2 decimal digit.

How to change the font size of Text Box Properties Appearance tab into 2 decimal digit. I am uanble to modify it to 5.38 pt for example. Its only allowing to 1 decimal place.

Click on each field and the choose Properties from either File menu (or if on Mac hold dow mouse button until context menu appears choose properties)
go to Font
choose desired size and type font,you can choose to make this the default.
Do this with each field.
Or if you have a lot of fields:
while one is selected select all of them
then go to fonts in properties
change Font and size and make default.

How to change the font size of Text box tool ?

I do not have AA6 available right now (I can check at home this evening). I am also using AA Pro, not Std. In AA7, there is a text box tool that is a commenting tool. When I started typing, a properties toolbar came up that had the font size and such. I haven't figured out how to get the toolbar after the fact. In AA8, I selected the text box tool and then went to view and selected the properties bar (the font size and all showed then), or use Ctrl-E when editing the text. I have not been able to figure out how to edit the text in a text box after you have created it - think it is a mental block right now. Bill

How to adjust the font size of iPad in printing a web page.

How to adjust the font size of iPad printout of web pages ?

In HTML Header I put textDid you mean Page Header Text? It wouldn't have done much of anything at all in the HTML Header...
However, the font doesn't do anything.Yet another universal selector problem: see +{message:id=4184109}+
How do I overwrite the style sheet? I am wondering if I change the default style sheet, does that also affect the other pages, which is not what I want. In that case you can just include the CSS inline, which will also get round the universal selector issue. You are also recommended to use a semantic HTML element instead of deprecated presentational elements like <center> and <font>. Assuming this text is the primary heading on the page, use <h1>:
<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#my_header_logo_white.jpg" alt="" title="Application" />
<h1 style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">Web Management System</h1>

How to change the font size in sap scripts?

hi friends,
i had a query regarding to SAPSCRIPT.
how to change the font size of a text in sap script form in which it should change it dynamically.
is it possible to change the font size dynamically in scripts.
one more query regarding to this only.
i need to get the hard copy of a script .
what is the transaction code to get the hard copy?

Hi venkata,
You can specify the font size either in the Character format or pharagraph format.
You better decide it according to your requirement. If you want to apply the same font size for the entire form create the Paragraph format and give the paragraph format in the default paragraph format.
If you want to apply that to limited text, then create character format.
The process of creating it is just after going inside paragraph format click EDIT-> Create Element and give the font size.
This applies for character format also.
Reward points if useful.
Thanks,
karthik
