How to maximize your screen

How do you maximize your screen? (hide the tabs and other things to maximize viewing space) in Safari (and Chrome, if different) browser while using Mac? I know that in Windows you press F11

Sorry, you can't do that in Safari. Not only is it not necessary, but even if it were, you can't hide the tabs, as that would have the effect of hiding the page you're viewing, too. If you want to enlarge the window to fit the content of what you're looking at, all you need to do is click once on the green button at the top left of the window; clicking again will return it to the previous size.
You can install Glims to give you the option of maximizing the window, but it won't hide any tabs, either.

  • HOW TO MAXIMIZE YOUR LAPTOP'S BATTERY LIFE

    Hi all,
    I had this bad experience of this wide problem in laptops, battery failure. It happens almost just after your warranty expires many will agree, funny & true..battery stops charging, shows less than 100% or 0% charge no matter how you try to charge it..etc. Also many complain that the battery shows only remaining charge time, and not the time remaining (read 9th tip below).
    Though Mark, Andy, vkyr, nonny, jhem, bill, myles and other admin guys are here to help on this forum, I thought of writing this based on my own experience of these batteries till date..I had compiled a few tips and information for dummies about the use of battery here which might help you to extend battery life:
    NOTE to moderatos--please check / modify / add / edit in the following if you find any wrong information.
    NOTE to all -- These tips in no way will harm your system, except the 9th tip and also if you remove battery without shutting down laptop
    All are welcome to add any new tips or corrections.
    1. Never discharge battery to 0%. Always, ALWAYS let battery discharge to a lower limit of up to about 5 to 10%.
    2. To run it or not on AC supply without battery If you use laptop most of the time at home or a place where there is a continuous (= uninterrupted) power supply, then simply remove battery from laptop and run laptop on AC power. If you are doubtful about current surge in AC supply, use a surge protector or a UPS (uninterrupted power supply) unit, which doesn't cost much. But be prepared, sometimes you may lose the data which is not saved, due to any accidental interruption. As [Bill] pointed out there might be a performance degradation due to power failure.This is not recommended if you are unsure of power supply.
    3. If you use AC power most of the time, then store battery with 30 to 50% (about 40% optimum) charged condition in a dry, away from any magnetism. At least once in a week or two weeks, run the laptop on only battery supply, let discharge it to about 10%, connect to AC supply, charge battery to 100%. Shut down, disconnect supply, remove battery from laptop and then use AC power supply as usual again.
    4. If you are running out of remaining battery time, then instead of shutting down PC, hibernate it ( you need to enable hibernation before through power settings in control panel). Shutting down takes more time than hibernation and without saving anything, you can resume your work after hibernation. After hibernating, even if you remove battery, it won't lose any data and will resume once you connect laptop to a power supply.
    5. Use power schemes (power management profiles), modify options available in power options under control panel in windows according to your usage & habits. Instead of using a blank screensaver or a screensaver which looks cool, turn OFF monitor, use lenovo power management options or windows power schemes to do this.[Tom&Wjli2]
    6. When running on batteries, to save power - reduce brightness of screen (using keys Fn + F10 to reduce, Fn + F11 to increase), mute volume & turn off any unnecessary devices that you are not going to use like (thanks to [Nicolas])bluetooth / modem / plug&play monitor / network adapters(wireless/ethernet/lan/1394) / PCMCIA adapter. Use 'control panel->system->hardware->device manager' to turn these devices on and off.
    Changing color schemes to dark or black colors doesn't save power in case of LCDs. (http://savingenergy.wordpress.com/2006/11/21/saving-energy-one-monitor-at-a-time/)
    7. Whatever you try, a battery has a specific life time (no. of charging/discharging cycles), and it discharges slightly/continuously over a long period even when not in use. So if your battery is giving problems after about 3 years of service, then it is time for its replacement. Don't assume that if you don't use battery more often, it will last longer, it may usually, but battery failures are unpredictable.
    8. If your battery has started to show problems, it will most likely fail sooner or later. Consult experts if battery is under warranty, else buy a new one.
    9. Either use lenovo's default program or you might try a program like Notebook Hardware Control (http://www.pbus-167.com/ ) to monitor your power & hardware / temperature. This program shows remaining battery time once you modify advanced options for battery. Also it shows various temperatures for CPU/HDD and warns you if temperature reaches preset limit.
    Caution: though this program allows, don't try to modify voltage settings under advanced options, it can harm to your system.
    Added:
    10. Never run a hot laptop or a hot battery. It damages the battery/laptop, so be sure to keep temperatures within normal range.(below 140 F or 60 deg C).
    11. There are few more good/advanced points added by Tom on Page 2.

    Dear iamdh,
    Thanks for your answer and your update of the main post. I also read the various interesting articles you mentioned.
    Now, I would like to submit to you these interesting questions :
    Question 1 : Please do the following test : Open Paint, enlarge to full screen, set image size at least the size of your LCD (e.g. 1500 x 1200 dots) and use bucket tool to fill the whole image in pure black. Now, go to control panel, display, screensaver tab, and select Blank screensaver and test it with the View button. DO YOU SEE A DIFFERENCE between the black screen in Paint and the blank screen of screensaver ?
    I don't see any difference (I use a vaio A517S laptop with high brightness LCD), so the conclusion might be that the blank screensaver uses up the same energy than a black color screen. A 2nd experiment leads to the same conclusion more conclusively : View again the "blank" screen (in screensaver tab, View button) and play with the Fn Keys to change brighness. You will notice that that it is impacted by brightness level which means the blankscreen is NOT a real "blank". WHY IS IT IMPORTANT ? Because, if choosing the Blank screensaver uses up the same energy as a black screen, AND because the black screen doesn't make any difference with a white screen on a LCD (remember the paper you found), then, why choose the Blank screensaver !!? Or, is it the fact that colors don't make any difference with LCD which is wrong !?? At that stage, I only ask. It is logic, it is one or the other, isn't it ? Any comments welcome.
    Question 2 : You remember that energy transforms into various forms : light, temperature, strength, movement, etc... Now, let's come back to LCD monitor : IF a black full screen and a white full screen uses up the same energy (youy remember the paper http://savingenergy.wordpress.com/2006/11/21/saving-energy-one-monitor-at-a-time/), then, there is a interesting point : Because the white screen gives more light than the black (you can check that in the middle of the night using your laptop as a spotlight torche !), it means that the black uses up its energy into an other form.  ...What could it be, other than temperature ? LET'S PUT IT AGAIN DIFFERENTLY : The black screen and the white screen use up the same energy, but why it is used for brighter light with the white, it is used for higher temperature with the dark.  WHY IS IT IMPORTANT ? Because higher laptop temperatures damage batteries quicker, then it means that we should avoid dark colors and prefer light colors in our windows settings. .. any comment welcome
    Really, the central point of discussion is the fact that electricity LCD consumption is not impacted by colors, even white or black. Has it been really double checked by many ? A story to follow..

  • How bad was your screen cracked?

    Hi, today as I got out of the car I slipped and dropped my phone, you can tell it hit the top right corner and shattered all the way from the top to the bottom, chipping the top area.
    I can no longer use the touch screen, but I could when I had first dropped it, and there's big blobs of black. I'm going to attempt a walk-in for tomorrow, and see about getting it fixed, and wondered how bad yours was when you took it in, and if they made you flat out get a replacement or just fixed it? I don't know if they'll have to replace the LCD and then some or what but just wanted to know?

    Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider has to check the phone and see if more than the screen got damaged. If yes, you'll have to pay the Out-Of-Warratny-Service fee for getting the whole phone replaced:

  • How to display your email and a message to finder on the lock screen of an iPhone?

    Hi,
    I loose things, including phones and keys...
    To prevent a worst case scenario: How to display your email and a message to finder on the lock screen of an iPhone? (6 plus, current iOS)
    That is, I assume most people finding an iPhone would want to try to contact me to give it back to me, if they know how: how can leave my contact information in the phone? This needs to be on the lock screen, naturally, as this is the only view the finder can see. It would be useful to be able to add a message of sorts a la "if found please call my wife ### or email me ###".
    How can this be done other than editing the JPG of the wallpaper, or sticking a business card to the back of the phone (these are the only solutions I came up with, there must be something better).
    Cheers!

    Greetings _daniel_, 
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    It seems like you'd like to display a message on your iPhone 6 Plus in the event it is lost. Good news--you can do this with the Find my iPhone feature of iCloud.
    Check out these links for more information:
    iCloud: Set up iCloud
    iCloud: Use Lost Mode
    If you can’t find your device, use Lost Mode right away to lock it with a passcode, display a custom message on the screen, and keep track of its location.
    Cheers, 
    Jeremy

  • How to maximize screen real-estate in Gnome3

    Upgraded to Gnome 3 yesterday, only to find that my cherished panels are gone, and the title bar of windows are super bulky.
    Could someone educate me about how to make use of the black panel on the top or completely hide it?
    I read somewhere on the gnome official site that they have the plan to merge the titlebar and the top panel. Is this in testing now?
    Thanks a lot!
