How to make things more compact?

I have recently upgraded to Windows 10 and made fresh install and when I was at it, I decided to download new Skype as well. But it is unusable for me, the contact list expanded and even when I disable profile pictures (I cannot make them smaller) the contacrts are far away from each other... And the chat bubbles are huge... I like Skype Window small with compact texts but even if I run it in full screen on 1920×1200 monitor I see 90% of empty space and 10% of text... Is there a way to remove all the gaps in chat and contacts without installing old version?

green-screen = color-key is just one method to 'punch out' the wanted parts of a pic from the unwanted.
other methods:
• luma-key: object is in front of a plain black (or white) background ...
• alpha-key: 'object' is a computer-generated image, rendered with an alpha-key
• rotoscoping: you mask the the object by hand from the unwanted parts.
...and 'fly' is just key-framing the scenery so it looks like the object is hovering over all .........
very unspecific question, hm?

How to make it more efficient

Hi,
I am working on AQ where I am just sending and receiving simple messages. But the performance is very poor. It takes around 35 seconds to send (enqueue) just 100 messages which is not acceptable for our project. Can someone help me how to make it more efficient. I am using JMS for sending and receiving messages.
Thanks,
Sateesh

Bhagath,
Thanks for your help.
Oracle server we are using is 8.1.7. We are using JDBC client that ships with Oracle client (classes12.zip).
Right now we are working on point to point messages.
I am just wondering whether I need to do any tuning on server.
Your help is greately appreciated.
Here I am pasting sample code that I wrote which may help in finding the problem.
Thank you so much once again for your help.

Suggestion for how to make text more legible with line in background?

I want to create a dashed line that connects a bunch of text located inside a text box. However, the dashed line seems to conflict a bit with the text visually, making it difficult to read. I sent the line to the back and put small white rectangles behind the text to block the line, though I am going to have lots of these, and it is a pain. Anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks

The white stroke is more a movie sub title thing and like in the movies does not always work.
Try this and see if you like it
select the text with a selection tool
add a new fill of white and drag the fill below the characters in th appearance panel
the highlight the new fill in the appearance panel
then go to Effect>Convert to Shape>Rectangle
give it 2pts extra relative space
below with the new fill converted not visible
withe the new fill converted to a rectangle visible
The problem with this method and the extra stroke method is that they are not transparent and if you place an object below them you will see the stroke or
fill
You can vary the gaps and fills until you get the right combination but that might be very difficult unless you simply vary the placement of the text.

How to make things other than text hyperlinks

I was looking to make a group of pictures link to some bookmarks but have so far failed. While making a simple box then filling the background with an image, then filling the box with space characters and then selecting the spaces to link to a bookmark, works in iBook Author,
it does not do so when I preview, or export to iTunes.
I'm using an iPad 3/new ipad. Any help in creating images that act as hyperlinks would be grand!
Also while some links work in landscape somehow the link gets messed up and no longer works in portrait orientation.
I miss the days where you could run over to your apple store and have your questions answered, I thought maybe a genius would help, but alas this a new age and they don't know s**t
In short, is the only way to link to bookmarks through simple text?

See 'How to link an image' in iBA Tips and Tricks 01..
As for portrait....layout in landscape, edit in portrait. Duplicate where needed to make portrait work as required.

How to make things visible offstage

Hi all,
I did it once before long ago, but can't remember how it worked;
I'm trying to allow all things oitside of the stage peramiters to be visible in the browser screen so certain elements can be longer than the stage and still be shown. Any ideas? Can't remember if it's a flash thing or an html thing.
Many thanks

Either you are contradicting what you originally stated or just haven't made it clear... this started with...
"I'm trying to allow all things oitside of the stage peramiters to be visible in the browser screen "
But now you're saying...
"I just want elements to run off screen"
You can't have both.

How to make things smaller on Tiger?

Hi
I just got a Titanium from ebay, and things look a bit big to be honest, I was wondering if it is possible to make the fonts on the menu bar applications...look smaller! Or even a hack to make the resolution get higher than the native resolution.
thanks
chris

Hi, Nomad.c. If your Tibook is set for its native (highest) resolution, that's all you can do. Early Tibooks had 1152 x 768 displays; later ones 1280 x 854. No LCD display can be hacked to simulate a higher resolution than the actual number of pixels in the LCD: it is what it is.
I don't know of any way to reduce the size of menubar or menu text, or of the labels for icons on the desktop or in Finder windows or the Dock.

Can we make things more Useful...? not an update question.

Ok well i said its not an update question.. well it kinda is.
today is friday.. the release date of the new iphone 3g.. great.. i love my iphone.. im goin to wait a week or so before i go ahead and buy the new phone for sake of bugs and lil tweaks..
ok so today i dont know what drove me to update my iphone.. and it got totally bricked for 3 hours.. until i finnally got thru using the "clicking" solution... well i understand the server is overwelmed.. and everyone is updatin and the same time.. but there was a prompt askin if i wanted to update and get the latest iphone software and the latest version of itunes... good.. lets all download it.. most of us it will take 3-6 hours for the iphone to update because the whole problem with the overload on apples side...
..BUT...
what if we cant wait that long?
i SYNC'd my iphone before the update.. well everyone does... itunes prompts you to do so.. WHY.. emphasizing on WHY... if we synced the phone to our computer systems.. and a problem like for example is goin forth now with this update... CAN'T we just restore our iphones back to how it was before we even tried updating it?
IT did SAVE to our computers right?
why cant we just double click here, right click right there..
and BOOM..
back for pre 2.0 days.. well until after the storm has passedt..
why cant we have that option in itunes... heck why not?
hey doctors will always have beepers to get in contact with.. so hey the whole life death situation thing means it isnt that that THAT bad.. but hey everyone needs there cell phone and people use cell phones.. this one in particular for business.. so maybe we could have avoided some confrontation to some conference calls and clients.. etc... well regardless.. as easy for the update to have made the iphone in a way "bricked".. i think it should have been easy to restore to pre 2.0 .
windows has that option in its system restore feature...
download something that messes up your system? virus? update that doesnt work well with the OS?.. restore to an earlier date is an option in the control panel..
i think itunes need something like that with the iphone version..
last but not least..
i love my iphone :-D

Full screen mode in flash player - how to make it more fluent ?

For some reason I'm experiencing a not fluent picture by watching tennis or other sports on ESPN3 Live on Flash Player.
The thing is, sometimes in one and the same session, watching the same match switching to full screen mode I get a fluent picture and another time it will jerk.
In the commercial breaks of the matches I sometimes play some games for some minutes. I can understand that can absorb some memory. Then I put my game screens into the dock and sometimes I get a fluent picture then of my match and sometimes not.
Does it have anything to do with virtual memory ?
Can I increase something somewhere to get the picture to be fluent ?
Thanks
bafomet

Full screen mode takes more computer resources, better video quality, a faster broadband connection etc.
It all depends what type of machine you have, if you have a 15" or 17" MacBook Pro, then head to Energy Saver and turn off graphics switching or enable the high performance option, you will need to be on power.
The 13" and below you can't help it, it's the lousy integrated graphics.
Mac video card performance
Next if the game you were playing is send out Internet connections this could be interrupting or interfering with the streaming service, especially if your download speed of your Internet connection is not all that fast or reliable.
If you have others on your local network, or local interfereance from applicances or stuff that could be affecting your WiFi signal to your computer.
If you used a alternate DNS service, one with no local server, that also could be a problem.
Could be your Flash needs to be updated or reinstalled, the caches flushed out.

Song Shuffle question, how to make it more random?

80GB Classic with latest (I think) SW downloads.
Whether using playlists or listening to the complete song listing, the shuffle does not appear to be giving me a true shuffle. I have maybe 3500 songs, some are played the next day, some haven't been played in two years. Playlists exhibit the same tendency, some songs with over 30 plays, some with less than five.
I tried setting up an exclusion in the smartlist where I told it to not put the song on the smart list if it had been played in the previous 20 days. That worked sort of OK, but I had to dock the iPOD every day to keep that working.
Is there a better way to get more random music selection? I have the randomness setting at max (no chance of playing same artist twice). Or at least I thought I did, but I cannot find that setting now.

Make sure you have *Live Updating* ticked in the smart playlist.
On the iPod, start playing a new playlist, then go back to the original playlist and it should be updated (dropping of the recently played songs).
Also, when starting a playlist, go to Music -> Playlists, scroll to the name of the playlist you want and press Play, (not Select).

My Windows 7 Pro went completely doo lally - I completely reinstalled Windows 7 pro but forgot to save anything from Itunes - I know what the names of the 2 playlists I had but not sure how to make 2 more playlists and install mainly audiobooks back

My Windows 7 Pro went completely doo-Lally - I reinstalled the Windows 7 but I forgot to do anyting with Itune.
What I would like to know is, how do I get 2 playlists back into Itunes and then move audiobooks back into them.
As I said earlier, I have no backups from Itunes at all - I think I might learn a lesson from this

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Building Query in Pre-Query. How to make it more Memory Efficient

Hello all,
I have a form with 2 Data Blocks.
First Block is used for giving query Parameters and second one returns the results based on a View.
I build the Select Clause in the pre-query based on the Parameters. So every time I have a Different Query.
Could that create problem in the Database Server due to parsing queries again and again?
Would using a Different approach (i.e. ref Cursors) be more memory Efficient?
Thanks

The pre-query is quite Large so I am pasting only a part of the Code (the rest of it Is Identical).
In the selects v is the alias of the View of the Second Data Block.
The :qf_ bind variables are fields of the First block where I give the Parameters.

How to make more than one partition on Airport Time Capsule?

how to make more than one partition on Airport Time Capsule?

Only for the very brave......
Open up the Time Capsule (voids the warranty)
Pull the hard drive
Place the hard drive in a separate enclosure
Connect the enclosure directly to your Mac
Use Disk Utility to partition the hard drive
Reinstall the hard drive back in the Time Capsule
For the rest of us.....
The next best thing might be to set up one or more disk images on the Time Capsule, which will allow you reserve a given amount of space for each disk image.
Open up Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Click on the New Image tab
Navigate to the Time Capsule
Set up the disk image by naming it and specifying how much space you want to reserve

How to make an indicator takes more than one input

Hello,
I want to know how to make an indicator ( like gauge for example) response to more than one case strrcuture result. In other words, how the indicator can take more than one input and move based on different input values ( the arrow of the gauge moves to different angles basesed on the logic structure and not only to one degree).
Thanks in advance,

YES, you got it right Coastal !
This is what i want to do,
I dont know how to establish this output in the software, i am still learning LabVIEW.
I put a merge block to join the outputs but it didnt work.
check it in the attached VI file.
I am sure it is an easy thing but I dont know how to implement it.
Any help you provide is appreciated,
Best wishes
