How to get rid of annoying grey bar on desktop?

I don't know how it happened. (I think i might have pressed a shortcut or something) But i can't for the life of me, get rid of it.
it's a thin grey bar which runs down the side of the desktop. I can't click on it or find how to turn it off.
Please help!

Try going to your system preferences- Desktop and screensaver/ And then click the backround color and choose black.
Hope this helps

How do get rid of this grey bar?

This grey bar has appeared beneath my photos. Any advice on how to remove it would be appreciated. Thanks, jp.

There are seven different Metadata Overlays. You should customize each one for your needs. I generally keep Keywords foremost on one, and time of capture formost on the alternate, and Badges on all of them. I set "List -- Expanded" to show everything.

How to get rid of the 'greyness' that appears in a lot of windows

I'm using Arch X64 with Awesome window manager (stand-alone)
I'm experiencing some visual problems, that most windows I open, tend to have a greyish kinda theme.
Although I have lxappearance and I have a lot of themes, even if I change those, that greyness just, don't go away.

VLC is a qt app (and I think Dolphin is too). Lxappearance is a "Feature-rich GTK+ theme switcher".

How to get rid of the Nav bar

I want to get rid of the Nav Bar which contains Prev, Next
Refresh and hide buttons. We can hide the buttons in that bar by
commenting writeToolBar(); in whskin_mbars.htm file. But still
unable to hide the complete bar. I am using RoboHelp 7 with WebHelp
Pro. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure that this is documented in Rick's Skinny on Skins:
http://www.robowizard.com/RoboWizard/NewProject.htm#Downloads/Skinny_on_Skins.htm
If not, try this: Go to whskin_frmset010.htm. Find the line that start with
strHTML+="<frameset rows=\"24,*\"
Replace the 24 by a 0.
Kind regards,
Willam

How to get rid of annoying icon

So I just installed an update to acrobat 9 standard and now there is a big pdf icon overlaying my desktop in the upper right corner. It appears to have no purpose other than to annoy me. How do I get rid of it? I'm on Win 7.
TIA

If it's simply an icon, then try deleting it from the desktop.

How to get rid of vertical scroll bar in ABAP webdynpro table

Hello,
I have created a dynamic WD table using cl_wd_dynamic_tool=>create_table_from_node and then I restricted the number of lines to 1 by setting the 'Set_Row_Count' and 'Set_Visible_Row_Count' = 1. But still when I run the application I see a vertical scroll bar which looks very awkward for only 1 line. How do I get rid of this vertical scroll bar ?
Thanks and Regards,
Sandhya

Hi,
Is your table under any transparent container. have you set any scroll mode for this.
One more thing, have you used SER SCROLLABLE COL COUNT property.Also is this property set firstVisibleScrollableCol.
Regards,
Lekha.

Anyone figured out how to get rid of the address bar tooltips??

I asked this about a year ago. One guy responded with some editing tips using the developer tools, but did not mention how to get to the files to edit them (he was recommending using Interface Builder). I cannot understand why there isn't a preference setting to disable all tooltips in Safari. I find them to be extremely annoying & want them to go away. So, if anyone knows how to make them disappear, your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
**NOTE** I am not referring to the information popus that are part of some web pages (although it would be nice to eliminate those as well). I am referring to the little yellow rectangles that pop up when you hover over things like the stop button, refresh button, address bar, etc. I do not need to be told what those buttons or areas do, so I want this annoyance gone. **NOTE**

Have a look at this macosxhints Forum thread. Otherwise, I haven't seen a way to remove these annoying pop-ups. I've sent feedback to Apple in the past. Perhaps you might want to add your voice via this link.

The original clips dont have them but when i import them to fcp it puts black bars on the sides of my video and i cant get rid of them

Here's my final (and simple diagnosis) You have 4 x 3 footage that your are trying to screen at 16:9. This won't work.
Artistically, you have three options:
1.) Stay with the "black bars." What some of us call "Bat Wings," in the biz.
2.) Do what some editors do and create a large "fuzzy" background to extend the edges...
3.) Or transform / crop the image. (Or just use the "fill" option in the "Spatial Transform" section of the inspector
But... You WILL lose some of the image

How to get rid of annoying Shut Down prompt

That's right. I finally have an answer and not a question.
If you want to get rid of the prompt, "Are you sure you want to shut down?", hold down the option key while you choose shut down from the Apple Menu.
I found this tidbit in the book Mac OS X Conversion Kit. It compares, on one page, OS 9 options, and on the opposite page the OS X equivalent. It's a good quick reference guide, and I got it free from the library.

Want to shut down without even touching the mouse? Press CommandOption+ControlEject. If you have any applications open that need a document with changes saved, you'll get to do that first. Otherwise, it will immediately power down.

In the same sentence, I want to write part french, part english (on facebook). How can I avoid the unwanted and very annoying rectification of the words I'm using ? Many thanks.

How to get rid of annoying tool tips while editing SQL files

I'm using Visual Studio 2013 to edit an .SQL file and I have attached the editor to a local SQL Server 2008 R2 database.
While editing the string that is passed to a sp_executesql procedure it keeps popping up a tool tip saying:
"Parameter help is not supported for extended stored procedures"
Generally I don't care about that and it is annoying because it keeps appearing over the top of the text I want to read. Is there any way to stop Visual Studio doing this?
a

Hi aptitude,
Thank you for posting in the MSDN forum.
>>I'm using Visual Studio 2013 to edit an .SQL file and I have attached the editor to a local SQL Server 2008 R2 database.
Could you share us more information about this issue? You said that you edit the .sql file, which kind of app did you create which would use the .SQL file? Whether it is related to the SQL Server database project or others?
If it is related to the SQL Server Database project, please post this issue to the SSDT forum:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/home?forum=ssdt
>>While editing the string that is passed to a sp_executesql procedure it keeps popping up a tool tip saying:"Parameter help is not supported for extended stored procedures".

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188001(v=sql.105).aspx
But if it is related to the SQL Server, to really repro this issue, and make sure that whether this warning is related to the SQL scrip or others, maybe you could select a better forum here:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/home?category=sqlserver
If I have misunderstood this issue, maybe you could share us a simple sample and the detailed steps in your new reply, so we could really repro this issue in our side.
In addition, I did some research about the warning message:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173434.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
The IntelliSense functionality of the Database Engine Query Editor does not support all Transact-SQL syntax elements. Parameter help does not support the parameters in some objects, such as extended stored procedures. For more information, see
Transact-SQL Syntax Supported by IntelliSense.
In SQL Server, it seems that it is related to the IntelliSense, I'm not very sure that whether it is related to the IntelliSense of VS IDE, but generally we could enable or disable IntelliSense under TOOLS->Option->Text Editor in VS
IDE.
Maybe you could disable IntelliSense in VS IDE, and then check it again.
If I misunderstood this issue, please feel free to let me know.

How to get rid of the new bottom layer with piano roll etc. in arrange??

Hey guys,
Just a quick question i suppose.
I work with 2 screens.
When I double click a midi event, i want the piano roll to open in a floating window, just like it used to be, and not in the new bottom layer (pop up) bar in the bottom of the arrange window. I want this because i like to edit on the second screen while still haveing an overview of my arrange on my 1st screen.
Does anyone know how to do this? Or perhaps know how to get rid of this new bar all together?
I hope someone does....
thanks in advance!
cheers,
PM

how annoying is it to go to a seperate screen set and then click a midi region just to edit it?
You haven't grasped the concept of screensets.
In the "old" way of working, in your arrange, you double-click on a region, which opens that region in an editor. You may have to move the editor position/size etc. You make your edits, and then close the window.
The screenset way of doing this is simpler and quicker. In your arrange, you select your region (one click, rather than a double click). You then hit a key command, lets' say "2" to switch to your editor screenset, which has the eitor or combination of editors you use, in link mode. As soon as you hit your 2 key, the editors will be recalled at the precise locations you specified, showing you the contents of your selected region.
When you are finished editing, just hit "1" to go back to your main arrange window.
Once you get used to this, you'll find it's a lot quicker and more efficient than all that rsi double clicking and window closing...

How to get rid of title bar of a quicktime window?

The main problem:
I want to display the title info etc about each track as they play in iTunes. How can I do that on an otherwise black screen (desktop) (I don't want to use the visualizer with its psychedelic patterns).
Background:
I want to play music from iTunes (many pieces in a row - for like a full day). While this is happening I want the title etc of the tune to be displayed on the screen, like white smallish text against a black background in the lower right hand corner. At the same time I want slides to be displayed on the screen.
So, with iPhoto I can run a slide show but only while one piece of music is playing.
Instead I can have the desktop slowly change (from system preferences) with images from a folder every 5 seconds. That's not too bad. Looks good, actually, except for that annoying menu bar at the top! Well, black tape can hide that one (or a second display and move it over there). Now iTunes can play away all day.
As to how to get the title etc of the song playing displayed I was thinking about somehow extracting it from iTunes with applescript, then paste it into the text track of a quicktime movie, and display that little movie in a small window. I have figured out how to get rid of the controller from the window. But, I can not figure out how to get the title bar of the quicktime window to go away - that is I want a window with nothing around it, neither controllers nor title bar nor anything. How do I create such a window. Any good ideas out there?
Or is there a totally different way of obtaining the same effect?
Thanks.

Hi,
You could try posting at the QuickTime discussion area. There might be an iTunes visualizer that allows you to make a slideshow with track info. It has been a while since I tried making a SMIL file, but I think you could do what you want with that. Not sure how you create a streaming text of track information. I would have to do some reviewing.
