Iconic Buttons Issues

I upgraded my 6i forms to 9i forms. So far so good. But when I run my forms on the web, the images (.ico) are not showing up on my iconic buttons. Is there any particular setting I need to look at.
Please help if anyone has any ideas.
Thanks,
Rudy

1. Do you have the icons in GIF format?
2. Have a you created a virtual directory in your web server to point to them, or put them in a directory relative to Forms?
3. Test if you can display the icon manually in the browser, not within Forms. e.g. http://myhost/icons/yes.gif (or whatever you made your URL)
4. If that works, put that URL in the Registry.dat file that your formsweb.cfg references.
5. In the Forms Builder, for the button, specify the icon name, without an extension. i.e. "yes", not "yes.gif" or "yes.ico".
6. It will now work in Forms runtime, in the browser.
I suspect that if you get steps 2 and 3 working, the rest will fall into place.

How may I change the height of the menu bar to allow my large icons/buttons to maintain their size?

I recently updated from FF28 to FF31. Totally different UI, I get that. I waited to update until I could psych myself to try something different. I have the Default Australis Theme and Noia Fox Theme, which is designed with larger icons/buttons for those with visual needs. On my screen at the moment I have the title bar, menu bar, tab bar, and url/addon bar with the "hamburger" menu to the right. I placed icons in the menu bar, kept the home icon on the addon bar, and then there are the default icons in the menu popup. When I enable the Noia Fox Theme, the icons look great on the url/addon bar, even in the menu popup; clear, large, easy to see. However, the icons in the menu bar (not the menu popup) are less than half their original/intended size. So I switch to default Australis Theme, restart, and same issue, though not quite as dramatic since Default theme is smaller to begin with.
My thinking then is that there is a setting within the menu bar which resizes the icons/buttons to a small default size. Can this setting be changed to allow the icons to retain their original size (or close to it) and if so, how? I like the location of the menu bar on my screen, below the title bar, above the tab bar. Works nicely with the new The Fox Only Better addon which attaches to the tab bar and hides the url bar, a "new" feature for me and I'm liking it. I know I can get CTR with an additional bar, and I did try that. The issue then is that the additional bar appears below the tab bar and is not movable to above the tab bar and below the title bar.
At the moment, I have just the two themes, security addons added and The Fox Only Better. I've not added other appearance addons yet so as to keep potential conflicts/issues to a minimum. I've not tinkered with internal FF default settings other than to say don't track me (I think that's all I did). So to the best of my limited understanding, I've kept changes and customizations to a minimum. And yes, per your educated guess feature for questions posted, I am running Win 8.1 and FF 31.
I think I've offered enough detail so others can try to duplicate the issue. If not, let me know and I'll try to respond as soon as I can. Thanks so much for any help offered.

You can double the height of the menu bar area using a custom style rule. I couldn't immediately find an icon that would take advantage of the space so I'm not sure this will solve the problem, but you could try it.
The custom style rule could be as simple as:
@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
/* double height (from 2x to 4x the 13px base font size) */
#toolbar-menubar{
height:4em !important;
(Result shown in the screen shot, using the preview feature of the Stylish extension.)
You can apply custom style rules to Firefox's UI using either of these methods:
(1) Create or edit a userChrome.css file. This article has more information: http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css
(2) Use the Stylish extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/
Since I don't have this theme to test myself, if this doesn't work well, you might contact the theme author using the theme's support thread, which is on an independent forum: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=2230157

Iconic Buttons

Hello guys,
I need to create Iconic Buttons for Oracle Forms 6i. Now I have two issues :
1) Is there a way to add text to the ICONIC BUTTON ?
2) I have modified the path in the key UI60_ICON under the Windows Registry, but forms doesn't really care, it seems like it doesn't find it. For now I have writing the whole path in the property palette of the Button, but I guess there has to be a more efficient way.

I download the zipped file from
http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/categorie-450786.html
Download the lablediconbutton.zip file
Unzip the file
Edit your /forms/server/formsweb.cfg file
Open the lablediconbutton.fmb module (Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2(Production))
Compile all and run the module
But the icons do not appear at all.
Help!

Ipad 3rd generation, iOS 8, home button issue, with fix

I have seen a lot of iOS 8 home button issues on phones but not much on the iPad. But I started having problems right away. Clicking would not get be back to the home screen. Clicking did not get me out of program. It was all intermittent too.
I found a good you tube video about ipad home button issues. First I tried recalibrating the home button. You hold the power switch down till you get the slider to turn off the iPad. then let go and hold down the home button till the screen changes. that seemed to fix most of the problems for a couple hours. But then it came back.
Next tried putting a drop of isopropyl Alcohol on my finger tip and pushed down and up on the outside edge of the home button, all around the circumference. Then did the cal again. That seems to have worked permanently.
iOS 8 is still slow but I guess everyone has that on anything older than a year.

Hi Hexonxonx, thanks for trying to help, but next time please read the entire discussion, in oder to better comprehend what is being asked. The reason being is that your answer added nothing to what had already been mentioned.
Like I said, I was aware it was possible to access the apps through the finder, but the question revolved around how to recover the quick launch app icons for certain vanished apps.
Wow, kind of a snotty response to someone who was taking their own time to offer help. Whether you thought it was helpful or not, didn't deserve such an unkind retort. Maybe when you realize we all just users here trying to help others like you, who have issues and we don't get anything in return for the countless hours some people here spend offering that assistance, you'll maybe be a little less quick to be critical.
Just sayin.......
Oh and Meg offered the right answer. Put your Apps in Folders, which will create extra space for the apps which have disappeared.

Icon buttons on Web

Hello
We started a migration process from forms 6i to forms 10g. Our forms have a toolbar containing some iconic buttons. Everything works fine in 10g however we are using 32x32 icons and after the conversion of ico files to gif files, the forms in 10g show the iconic buttons and their images associated but the buttons show the image on the upper left side of them and then we see the icon smaller than the icon in the client/server environment. It's like forms web is trying to adjust the image on the button.
Is there any recomendation about the button's size, icon's size in order to migrate a form from 6i to 10g ?
Thanks!
Ramiro Ortiz

Hi Ramiro,
I've come across a similar issue myself recently - it seems to be a recognised problem, see Re: Iconic Buttons
I got around the problem just by editing my .gif icons with MS Paint to move the 'image' from the topleft of the gif into the centre, and then things were fine. I didn't notice any problems with overall size though, just positioning.
Not much help I'm afraid, but at least you know you're not alone!

My wife's new iphone4 (a replacement for a 5 month-old iphone 4 with home button issues) is not recognized by itunes. Every other ios device in the house using that computer and Apple ID is. Any suggestions?

My wife's brand new iphone4 (which was a replacement for a 4month-old iphone4 with home button issues) is not recognized by itunes. Every other ios device on the computer/Apple ID in question is recognized and syncs perfectly. Any suggestions?

If the new phone has already been setup, make sure the phone and iTunes are both set to the same account.
You might also have to authorize this computer for the new device under the store menu.

Thanks for the help

Often when people think they've deleted an application, what's really happened is that they deleted its icon from the Dock. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. If the application is in that folder, drag it to the Dock (not to the Desktop or anywhere else.) The other Dock icons will move out of the way to make a place for it.

After I upgraded to iOS 5, my Genius icon/button disappeared. How do I get it back on my iPhone?

After I upgraded to iOS 5, my Genius icon/button disappeared when using my music player on my iPhone. I am not using iTunes Match, just ensured it's disabled. How do I get my Genius icon/button back on my iPhone? Genius is enabled in iTunes, using the latest version of iTunes on all machines. Help! Thank you!

Thanks, Huntress, but it's not in More either. I'm talking about the genius button/atom icon that used to appear in the center/top part of the screen while a song plays in the music player, like in this image (I used to be able to tap the atom icon to create a genius playlist on my iphone):
Now, when I play a song, there is no atom icon/genius button like in the following image. I've already tried tapping where it used to be and it doesn't come back.

Iconic Buttons in Oracle Apps 11i

Hi,
I need to create an iconic button in one of my form. We are using Forms6i and are on apps veriosn 11.5.10. I want to use the same image as used for the 'Help' button on standard Toolbar. Where is this image file located? I tried to search for the toolbar in TEMPLATE.fmb, but couldn't find it.
Any help in this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ashish

Quoted by Francois
At design time you see the .ICO files and at run time the .GIF files.
So, you must have the 2 versions (ICO and GIF) of the images files.

Edit Icon button grayed out.

When I go to edit the icon picture for some, but not all, of my Keyword Tags, the Edit Icon button is grayed out and unavailable. Did I do something incorrect when creating these Keyword Tags? Other Tags can be changed but not all of them.

No, PSE 6 and later never displays an icon for a sub-category. If you accidentally created a sub-category where a leaf keyword tag will do, change the sub-category to a keyword tag by right-clicking it, and then you'll be able to assign an icon. But if you change the keyword tag back to a sub-category, the icon will disappear.
None of that design seems very well thought out.

How to create iconic buttons in forms 10g.

I am trying to create a iconic buttons, same I am able to do it in forms 6i but not in 10g. And also please give me a proper example of java bean items in forms 10g

dear sunny
are u able to do the iconic button on 10g forms i try but appear the icon on button I have alreay do the following
Runtime Configuration
1) Creating Jar file
i) Once you are ready with your GIF files or JPG files, create a folder called ICONS. You can create this folder anywhere. For e.g. you can create ICONS folder on a C drive under root directory or as a sub-folder under any folder.
ii) Assuming you have created ICONS folder as a root folder on C drive, now copy all your GIF files in this folder.
iii) Go to the DOS prompt and enter cd\
iv) At C:\ prompt enter the following command to create Java Archive File (JAR) called my_icons
Jar ?cvf my_icons.jar icons
(Note: If above command don't run then paste icons foled at C:\DevSuiteHome_1\jdk\bin.)
v) Copy this file in <Forms10g_Home>\Forms\Java folder.
Please remember that having the name of the folder holding GIF/JPG files as ICONS is very important. Because if the folder name is something else, icons will not be displayed in your form at run time.
2) Modify REGISTRY.DAT file
i) Open this file located in <Forms10g_Home>\forms\java\oracle\forms\registry folder.
ii) Append the existing parameter default.icons.iconpath as follows:
default.icons.iconpath=icons/
iii) If you are going to use GIF files as image files for icons, then leave the existing parameter default.icons.iconextension=gif as it is. If you want to use JPG files instead of GIF files, replace GIF with JPG as shown below:
default.icons.iconextension=jpg
3) Modify FORMSWEB.CFG file
This file exists under <Forms10g_Home>\Forms\Server folder.
Append the following existing parameters:
i) imagebase=codebase
ii) archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar,frmwebutil.jar,jacob .jar,my_icons.jar
After doing above configurations, create a form and place an icon on the button. Set button's icon property = Yes and give name of icon.
NOTE: This icon shoul be in jar file. If u want to add more icons in jar file then u will have to create JAR file again. Also again place it in <Forms10g_Home>\Forms\Java folder.
pls if u have any solution send me

Exit button issue in Captivate 5

Hi,
This is regarding the exit button on the playback controls. I have been using Captivate from version 2. Recently, started using version 5. When I published my simulation, the exit button is not working as earlier. It is also not working from- web server(IIS, Apache), when opened as pop-up as well. In local too however not working. I tried in both IE 7 and Firefox latest version.
I have seen the response from Adobe on this issue on this forum. It was quite surprising; it did not talk about the solution at all;
What I am not sure about is -
1. Why the exit button was working earlier versions.. why is it not working in latest?
2. Why should when simple code like top.close(); works fine (when coded inside the Captivate)?
3. Why is Adobe not acknowledging the issue?
4. Why there is no working around provided in the forums for this issue?
Could anybody please help me understanding this problem? I am really frustrated.
Thanks.

Happy New to all as well!
You are absolutely correct! The moment reporting is activated, the EXIT no longer functions. Although in my case, we are not using the time/slider bar but custom navigation buttons with an exit button on the last slide (and at the top of each slide).
This whole EXIT button issue (not just Cp 5 but Cp 6 as well) is nearly bringing me to the point of tears! This is really ridiculous! I am in a tough position right now where my manager may be wondering if I am right person for this job because I cannot make a little EXIT button work in our lessons.
"Solutions" or excuses that I have received
- Just remove the EXIT button -- No, we use a standard corporate template which hundreds of employees are already familiar with. To remove the EXIT button and instruct the learner to just close the browser would be unacceptable and a rather inelegant way to exiting a lesson.
- It is a tough issue that isn't Captivate's fault
With all due respect to the awesome person who keeps stating that, I have a feeling that you have not used other rapid elearning tools. Building an EXIT button in all the other major elearning tools is easy and works every time.
The source of my personal difficulty is that every other course that was built by previous developers (not using Captivate), all open in a child window and all have a working EXIT button.
I believe the PRIMARY reason for this problem might be in the fact that... inexplicably... Captivate does not offer an option to start a lesson in a CHILD window (i.e. separate browser window). This is why no javascript in the world will allow the tab to close (e.g. EXIT button). Closing a tab or browser window via javascript only works when the same instance was previously opened by a script using the window.open method. In other words, you can only use the javascript method to close an instance that was spawned via javascript.
This should explain why lessons published in Lectora (et al) always have working EXIT buttons every time and in every browser (minor exception is Opera for unrelated reasons).
The second red box is just another one of my problems with Captivate 6 (not related to this topic).
Solution????
I've been racking my brain trying to modify Captivate's HTML/javascript in order to carry over the AICC (or SCORM - same process) variables into a child window.
Like another participant stated, you can't simply rename the original index.html to index2.html and create a redirection like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.open("index2.html","lesson","location=0,toolbar=0,status=0,resizable=1,width=975,he ight=600");</script>
<body>
Yes, I tried this as well... but unfortunately, it breaks the AICC to LMS connection. *BUT* I can promise one thing... using the above redirection, does guarantee that your EXIT button works every time! Pity the LMS connection breaks!
QUESTION?
Does anyone have advanced knowledge of javascript in order to code the INDEX.HTML to open the lesson in a child windows AND maintain a connection to the LMS?
