IChat bubbles are huge
I've adjusted the font and played with preferences, but I can't get the iChat bubble to go to a nomal size. Any ideas? The images in the package contents look correct too.
Hi,
The IM itself is spread over two lines as the Chat window is narrow.
It is possible to recreate this using the ALT key.
This key when used as a modifier for the Enter key adds a new line to the IM before it is sent.
However I don't think this is someone doing that.
There are two places to change the Font, its colour (text) and one for the Balloon colour.
IN the iChat Menu > Preferences > Messages you can choose the Font. (you can also chose the colour of the text.)
This tends to be something that looks easy to read at 12 and 14 point.
The default is Helvetica at 12 point. If for some reason your Helvetica is turned Off iChat and other app will not launch.
However once you have set the Font Size there you can resize the IM in the Format Menu and "re-chose" the Font (And it's size) and you can colour the Font here as well.
You would tend to use this to highlight part of the text you were sending.
However when you do this the Balloon retains the size of the Preferences Font.
i.e. if the Format menu thinks the IM is 40 point in size it will Line break the text at 40 point even if you have selected a 12 point Font size.
However when I test this a natural Line break (The text wrapping itself at the end of the Line base in Width of Chat window) does not do this.
The Prefs were set to 48 point.
The Format menu was used to Set 12 point.
The "Format Size" balloon ended with several ALT + enter Line breaks
The last IM is an attempt to see if the Text would do it automatically.
Is it just the Incoming Message that has the oversized balloon ?
Are you Overriding incoming Messages as far a size and Font are concerned ?
The Pic appears to show Helvetica which your end could have defaulted to if you don' have the Font your Buddy is using.
However as the Buddy is asking to See the Big Balloon I take it they are not send it like that.
In iChat 5 which I have I have to deliberately set it to Override Incoming Messages
In Messages that I am working with this is Automatic and resizes it to the stated default size.
I am not sure about iChat 6 in this area.

I realize this is a Mac forum, but I am sure there are iOS users here as well. My problem is that apps made specifically for iPhone used to display in regular iPhone size on the iPad which was fine --- it was workable. Since upgrading to iOS 7.0, these apps are HUGE, filling the entire iPad screen. How does one revert to the non-magnified appearance?
I tried:
01. Rebooting PC
02. Rebooting iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad 2, iPad 3
03. Stoppng and restarting Apple Mobile Support service
04. Deleting backup in iTunes
05. Buying music and transferring purchases
06. Transferring photos
07. Buying app and transferring purchases
08. Deleteing and reinstalling iTunes
09. Backup to the iCloud (failed as well)
10. WIFI sync
11. Return the iPod Touch to factory settings and reinstall from backup
12. Return the iPod Touch to factory settings and install as new device
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WORKED !!! I still cannot backup because iTunes cannot start a session.
My devices are completely vulnerable to loss.
I have spent hours searching the Internet trying to find a solution.
I have concluded that the iTunes software or its driver are at fault. -
Photos are huge in Facebook ( groups) ??

Contact the developer/go to their support site if only one app.

when texting a friend, bubbles are blue instead of green and they dont receive the message. this is only happening with one contact,why's this happening and what can i do to sort it? cheers
Blue bubbles are using for iMessages, so problem with receiving is in iMessage.
-
When I am having a text conversation sometimes my bubbles are blue and sometimes they are green -why is that
blue colored bubbles are imessages(ios device to ios device), uses data
green colored are SMS's(charged by carrier, if you have free SMS's, it should be free too)

When starting up my HP g62 notebook with recovery disks pixels are HUGE and i cannot proceed
The problem I was tryinmg to fix was that while booting up, the screen goes black, although the motherboard is working and I can hear the whirring of the disk drive. So I figured I would start up and recover the whole ststem...but when I did this, the screen was made up of HUGE pixels..everything qwas huge, including the cursor.
Hello Liontail, welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that when you try to do the recovery with disks, the "pixels are huge" and it makes it so you cannot proceed. I will try to help you with this.
A suggestion to start with that may make it so its not so large on the screen.
press ctrl + minus (-) or ctrl and scroll on your mouse, this acts as a zoom feature. It may allow you to continue.
You may also have to adjust the screen resolution.
Please let me know if that's able to help you.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

I was messing with my xorg.conf configuration, and thought I would try telling X what my display size was, so that it could compute the correct DPI setting for my display.
I have a 15.4" widescreen display running at 1680x1050, which comes out to roughly 131 dpi. At this setting, all of my fonts are huge (by huge, I mean 10pt fonts look like they are 20pt)! I tried putting in fake display size values to get 100 dpi, 96dpi, etc.
Here is what I learned. Almost no OS uses the correct dpi for the display. Apparently Windows always uses 96 dpi, regardless of what resolution the display really is. X also defaults to 96 dpi. A few distros actually set the dpi correctly, and the first thing people complain about is that the fonts are too big.
Anyhow, I think I am going to stick with the default 96 dpi setting, since it's what I'm used to. But if any of you ever see X with abnormally large fonts, check what dpi setting is being used.
By the way, the relevant setting in xorg.conf is DisplaySize, in the Monitor section. Here's the syntax:
Section "Monitor"
DisplaySize 410 318 # Size (x,y) of the screen, in millimeters
EndSectionbeniro wrote:Also, if you the width/height you entered in millimeters is correct (You're using a fairly standard 19" or 20" monitor???) and your resolution really is 1680x1050, your dpi is actually: 102 (from left to right) by 84 (top to bottom)...which will give you...a skewed view of the world.
He said it in his first posting--15.4" widescreen, so it's probably a 16:10 screen, not 4:3. So his numbers seem correct to me. Many laptops have screens with 130dpi and more, nowadays ...

This plugin was working fine in 3.6, but when I upgraded to 4.0 it does not work. The colour bubbles are dancing (also with youtube) but download is not offered.
I'm thinking of turning back to 3.6.There is an update (4.9.2) on the versions page to fix the missing drop marker issue.

One day I opened up my firefox browser and noticed my bookmarks toolbar icons are huge and stretched out. I'm completely unaware as to how this happened. I can hardly tell what they are and all of them no longer fit on the toolbar. Please, help me fix this annoyance. I'm usually pretty good at figuring it out myself, but I am completely stumped by this one.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

Tablespace full, but actually there still are huge space free
Oracle alert "Tablespace [BITEMP] only has [0 megabytes ] free space", but actually there still are huge space free.
I create three datafiles(20g / datafile). One of them is full, the others are free.
Why?Calling a person 'dear' is IMO too a familiar/intimate form of address in a support forum frequented by software professionals.
In the same vein, "I M" speak is not acceptable either. This is not instant message communication. We are not restricted to a difficult to use mobile phone keypad. We are not restricted in message size.
In fact, as software professionals we all know just how important it is to convey information accurately and correctly when dealing with technical issues. There is no place for "I M" speak in such an environment.
I kindly suggest that you give consideration to these points. -
Contact pictures are huge in iOS 5!
Has anyone else noticed that their contacts' pictures are HUGE after the iOS 5 update? I have tried everything I can think of to get the pictures back to their normal size, but nothing works. I can't be the only one having this problem! Any suggestions? I sync my contacts via the Address Book on an iMac running Lion.
It's the app called Contacts with the icon that looks like this:

Login Frame looks Weird / Textfields are huge
hi
i'm trying to do an 800x600 swing frame - a login interface. the only two items on the frame should be
account id label / textfield on top of
password label / textfield
these items should be centered on the frame
the following code looks really weird. the textfields are huge and i can't figure out how to center the items on the frame.
any help appreciated
// center, and a submit button in it's south.
contentPane = (JPanel) this.getContentPane();
contentPane.setLayout(new BoxLayout(contentPane, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
contentPane.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder());
this.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
this.setSize(new Dimension(800 /*width*/, 600));
this.setTitle("User Client - Login");
jPanel1.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.CENTER));
jPanel2.setLayout(new GridLayout(3,1));
jPanel3.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.CENTER));
accountIDLabel.setText("Account ID:");
accountIDLabel.setBounds(new Rectangle(28, 50, 140, 25));
accountID.setBounds(new Rectangle(173, 50, 213, 29));
passwordLabel.setText("Password:");
passwordLabel.setBounds(new Rectangle(28, 50, 140, 25));
password.setBounds(new Rectangle(173, 50, 213, 29));
jPanel2.setToolTipText("");
contentPane.add(jPanel2, null);
jPanel2.add(accountIDLabel, null);
jPanel2.add(accountID, null);
jPanel2.setToolTipText("");
contentPane.add(jPanel2, null);
jPanel2.add(passwordLabel, null);
jPanel2.add(password, null);The real question is why are you trying to make a login screen 800 x 600. A dialog that large will look ugly. You should just add the components to you dialog and pack() the dialog so the components can be displayed at their preferred size. This is the way most applications work.
However, to answer your question you could do something like:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class BoxLayoutCenter extends JFrame
public BoxLayoutCenter()
// BoxLayout will attempt to resize components to fit the space
// available, however it will respect the maximum size of a component.
JPanel panel = new JPanel( new GridLayout(2, 2) );
panel.add( new JLabel( "Username:" ) );
panel.add( new JTextField( 10 ) );
panel.add( new JLabel( "Password:" ) );
panel.add( new JTextField( 10 ) );
panel.setMaximumSize( panel.getPreferredSize() );
// By default buttons are left aligned. Allow for center alignment.
JButton button = new JButton("I'm in the middle");
button.setAlignmentX(0.5f);
Box box = Box.createVerticalBox();
box.add( Box.createVerticalGlue() );
box.add( panel );
box.add( Box.createVerticalStrut(10) );
box.add( button );
box.add( Box.createVerticalGlue() );
getContentPane().add(box);
public static void main(String[] args)
BoxLayoutCenter frame = new BoxLayoutCenter();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
frame.setSize(300, 200);
frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
frame.setVisible(true);
}
