How to stop the [Annoying] Color Picker box from popping up on Illustrator CS5; Please Help!

Yes, I'm talking about that box. It can get very annoying to constantly go back and forth to exit it out. I'm sure there should be some preferences option *somewhere* on Illustrator CS5 where you can prevent that annoying box from popping up all the dang time. It's almost like an ad. If the creators can make it automatically pop up, then there should be a way to turn off that feature. Otherwise this should be listed as another aggravating Illustrator feature that needs to get fixed.

This has to be the most annoying thing in Illustrator and has been for the years I have been using it. I click on that icon to switch between having the stroke and fill selected, and it pops up the color panel in place of my swatches panel which is what I need.
Let's say I have a swatch in my swatches panel that I want to use as the stroke for an object. I currently have the fill selected to work with, so I go down and click the stroke icon (shortcut for that is X but I prefer not to use the shortcut for that function). I then move back over to where my swatches panel is normally, but the damn color panel is covering it now! So I need to make an extra click back over to the swatches panel so I can use it. Such a minor little thing but so incredibly annoying.
I usually work with a subset of colors in the swatches panel and when I need to use a color picker, I simply doubleclick on the fill/stroke icon on the toolbar. Thus, the color panel is completely useless to me in most cases.
If I close a panel, any panel, it should not pop up unless I specifically go to the Window menu to enable it.

Does anyone know how to stop the "frequently visited websites" box from popping up when doing a search in Safari?

Hi,
I just upgraded to Yosemite and Safari is now showing a frequently visited websites box right below the address bar when I start to type something in it. Does anyone know how to deactivate this box? Its rather irritating.
Thx

Uncheck the box beside "Show Favorites".
I haven't tested this long enough to say that this works always.
Best.
Yup, that works.

How do I stop the check plug in page from popping up every time I double click the firefox desktop icon?

Two pages pop up when I double click the firefox icon on the desktop, the home page and the check plug in page. How do I stop the check plug in page from repeatedly popping up when I double click the firefox icon?

''I uninstalled AOL IM and disabled MetaStream 3 Plugin but that didn't work either. I don't currently have viewpoint media player that I'm aware of. ''
'''''MetaStream 3 Plugin''' MetaStream 3 Plugin r4 Unknown plugin Research''
This is apparently the Viewpoint Media Player plugin '''npViewpoint.dll'''. Even though you don't see the Viewpoint Media Player listed in your list of installed programs, it might be listed as a different application.
Disabling the MetaStream 3 Plugin in the Firefox Add-ons Manager removes it from the about:plugins list but apparently does not stop the PluginCheck from finding it. You should re-enable the MetaStream 3 Plugin in the Firefox Add-ons Manager list of plugins. You can then find and remove the plugin file '''npViewpoint.dll''' from your computer, using the following instructions, from this thread at mozillazine:<br>

The Plugin Check page listed about eight plugins with status listed as "unknown plugin." It turns out that the very last one on the list, ''''MetaStream 3 Plugin'''', which dated all the way back to 1/13/2004, was the one triggering this "Update" Nag. Here's what I did.
#Enter about:config into the address bar
#Locate the preference 'plugin.expose_full_path' by typing it into the filter bar
#Toggle that preference true (right click, toggle)
#Enter about:plugins in the address bar
#The resulting "Installed Plugins" list will now show the full path and file name of the associated plugin DLL file.
#Simply go to the directory of the suspect plugin (using Windows Explorer or whatever) and rename the DLL file (I just appended '.OLD' to the DLL file name, e.g., ''''npViewpoint.dll'''.OLD')
#Quit firefox (file, exit) and restart.
#If you don't get redirected to the Plugin Check page then problem solved. If you do get redirected to the Plugin Check page then the plugin you just nuked (by renaming the DLL file) should be gone from the list.
#Repeat with the other "unknown plugins" until you don't get redirected upon Firefox startup.

How to set the default Color Picker?

Hello everyone,
I wrote my own Color Picker and it works nicely within the standard apple color picker panel. I am quite annoyed, however, that I have to switch to my new Color Picker by hand every time I open the Color Picker Panel. I have found that I can set an application-speficic default color picker by setting the NSColorPickerSlidersDefaults property for that application using defaults. However, that way I can only set one of the original apple color pickers to be the default, not my own, because there is no number defined for my own color picker and I can't add it.
Does anyone know a solution please?

Thanks camickr !
That's exactly what I was looking for. (let the UIManager take care of colors of the textfield whether it's editable or not)
as for 2nd reply my code is in several files. IF i have to shorten it, it would be:
it's just a pseudo code and incomplete but it gets the idea across
* this function automatically changes colors of textfield based on mode which can change any time
if(mode == NEW_MODE)
textField.setEditable(true);
else
textField.setEditable(false);
* This function sets the color during save time
public void save()
clear();
if(textField.getText() == null)
textField.setBackGround(Color.PINK);
public void clear()
//reset the color if it's pink or to the original color
//the color must update once we change mode which is independent of this
public void open(Patient p)
clear();
displayPatient(p);
}

Every time I a go to a new page, whether it is the same site or not, I get a dialog box that appears that reads "Confirm Dialog Preference," and the options include yes or no. How do I get this to stop? It is really, really annoying.

How to stop the annoying hover without click

If I want to do something I was used to moving my cursor to the position and thinking about it a while. NOW if I hover over a command/link (including annoying ads) the command is executed when I did not want it to execute or display in the case of an ad in Safari. I have explored various preferences and I cannot find a way to turn off this annoying feature. PCs have had this annoyance for years and I always hated it. How can I turn off this awful "feature"?
I am afraid that this "update" is a bust. I am sorry I did not stick with Maverick.

Hi,
In System Preferences>Network, highlight or Show Internal Modem>PPP tab>PPP Options button... Prompt every xx minutes.

I never play "angry birds", and didn't download it in my mac air.
However it always poping up to remind me to "update " it in APP STORE.
Every time i try to press "update" for make changes, it show

No one touch my mac besides me, and I only got one account.

How to stop the standard navigation to view from NavBar?

Hi Folks,
My solution is in CRM IC 5.0. My application is a Z one. I have a custom button in the "Followupdetails" view
Initially the "Identify Customer(BupaDetail)" view loads up as soon as we log onto IC. Navigation to any other view selected from the nav bar should only be possible if my custom button is clicked. Otherwise the navigation should not happen and it should continue to remain in the same window and throw an error message.I capture the value of whether this custom button is clicked in the attribute GV_CLEAN_WASTE.
I wrote the below code in "DO_CLEANUP_CONTEXT" of the BupaDetail view.
IF ZL_CRM_IC_BREADCRUMBSVIEW_IMPL=>GV_CLEAN_WASTE <> 'C'.
   IF me->view_manager IS BOUND.
      lr_message = view_manager->get_message_service( ).
      lr_message->add_message(
          iv_msg_type       = if_genil_message_container=>mt_error
          iv_msg_id         = 'ZCRM_WW'
          iv_msg_number     = '012' ).
endif.
ENDIF.
The above code throws error message but the navigation to the view selected in NavBar still happens.I want to block that.
How can i acheive it?
Thanks
Abishek

Hi ,
You need to write the below logic in the event handler of the custom button.
IF ZL_CRM_IC_BREADCRUMBSVIEW_IMPL=>GV_CLEAN_WASTE 'C'.
IF me->view_manager IS BOUND.
lr_message = view_manager->get_message_service( ).
lr_message->add_message(
iv_msg_type = if_genil_message_container=>mt_error
iv_msg_id = 'ZCRM_WW'
iv_msg_number = '012' ).
endif.
return.
ENDIF.

How do I stop the Xfinity Log in page from popping up?

If I am near a xfinity hot spot, xfinity log in screen pops up on the screen of my iphone whenever I am checking emails or browsing on the internet.
I am not subscribed to the service and I have no intention to subscribe either, it's quite annoying, because it keeps happening and I couldn't find a way to prevent it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I do not want to turn wifi on and off. I think I may have fixed it by going to settings -> General-> Reset->Reset Network Settings. This should hopefully make my phone forget all of the "known networks". I will have to re-associate with the networks I use all the time but none of them are xfinity and I am hoping this keeps that very annoying xfinity screen away.
