Idea - free floating panels and windows

Hi I would like to see the free floating windows we had in previous versions in CS6. They were so flexible. Perhaps they are there but I could not locate them. I run macbook pro/ lion/ external monitor. thanks

The only thing that has changed in CS6 is that the Application Frame is now checked by default.
You can turn it off in an instant by going to the Window menu in Photoshop and UNchecking the Application Frame menu item.

  • Indesing Panels and Windows

    Hi guys,
    I have to finish a work document in Indesing in a PC, i don't have my Mac with my preferences and so on. I notice that the default Windows Panels in text doesn't show as much info as i would like to, for example, kerning, tracking, hyphenation, adjust to baseline, etc.
    I am sure there is a way to open those extra features in the text pannel info.
    Thanks for any info.
    Cheers,
    Sebs

    The panels work identically on Mac and Windows. It looks like there's no enough room to show everything. Open the panel menu and set the preferences for what you want there.

  • Properties panel and window options blank

    This just started happening in Dreamweaver CS4 and I believe I just updated my Adobe on my machine, Windows 7 with CS4 installed for over a year or so now.
    I have suddenly have no access to the properties panel, although it is there if I close the program, then open it fresh. As soon as I start working it becomes blank. Any insights appreciated. See screenshot:

    I would try resetting your workspace by going to Window > Workspace Layout > Reset (name) Workspace
    If that doesn't help, try clearing the program cache file: Deleting a corrupted cache file

  • KDE4 Panels and Windows covering them...

    Hello,
    Normally, I like to have my panel visible. I'm not one of those people who like to automatically hide them, or have windows cover them. I like to quickly look at what's open, etc...
    Except when I play games. I play an online MMO called EVE Online. I'v e got it running well uner WINE (only a few minor things that I need to fix) and it runs great. However, I've had to incorporate several workarounds to get it to display properly since I use TwinView and I wanted to play the game on one monitor only. Here's is the command I use to play it:
    wine explorer /desktop=Client1,1680x1050 "C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\eve.exe"
    This works well. I also use KWins awesome window-specific setings to remember additional window parameters, such as forcing Fullscreen off and No Borders on: see, I like running my game in a "window" but to have no borders so that looks like it's fullscreen. This has some benefits including flawless Alt+Tab (some games just don't like to do it) and being able to go quickly to different windows (like a browser to look something up).
    However, this Windowed + No Border thing, while working flawlessly, has led to a sticky situation with my KDE panel. Like I said, I like my panels to always show unless I'm playing a game. When the game is in Windowed mode, the panel sits there at the bottom and sticks out like a sore thumb (not to mention getting in the way of in-game controls that the panel covers). I've been forced to auto-hide my panel until I can find a suitable workaround.
    And thus to my question: Is there anyway to have specific windows (via KWins "window specific" settings or otherwise) force itself to override (or otherwise ignore) KDE's panels settings when it comes to visibility? There are very few windows that I ever want to cover the panel with, and all of them are for games.
    Thanks for any help!

    Well there's an ugly option which you'll probably won't like, but still it's there .
    Anyway make a (if you don't already have) a desktop file to start your game then add this before it:
    kquitapp plasma-desktop&& env WINEPREFIX="/home/primoz/.wine" wine "C:\\path\to\your\game" && plasma-desktop&
    As you can see it's an really ugly hack, but it rids you of all plasma problems...
    Oh dear lord, I don't want to quit plasma. lol. Way too messy, but at least you're thinking outside the box! =P
    BurntSushi wrote:Can you set the KWin window settings for the game to be always on top? That should make it cover the panel.
    I could, and it does work, but not that way I'd like because it keeps above EVERYTHING, not just the panel. Like I said above, I do other tasks while I play; browse the web, look stuff up, have a few terminals open, etc... and if the game window is set to always be on top then I can't have those other apps on the screen. Sure, I could use my second screen, but I usually have a webbrowser under the game window that I can quickly alt+tab to and pop up...
    Maybe I'm just too picky. >_>

  • Xfce4-panel and window placement

    How can I get XFCE4 to not place any windows that would be hidden under the panel?  My panel extends all the way from the left to the right.  I have my workspace margin bottom at 100.  Everytime I start up XChat it places itself under the panel... Any ideas?

    I hated that thing....seems that xfwm4 doesn't respect but xftaskbar4...its the only thing it won't cover it....what i did is dumping the panel....its not that useful anyway...u can launch apps using the desktop menu...the only thing i miss is "show desktop" button.

  • ICloud Control Panel and Windows 8

    I cannot get it to install.....any help?

    iCloud Control Panel is available in the Control Panel. To access to it, access to the desktop, right-click at the bottom left corner (where Start button should be) and choose Control Panel. Then, go to Network & Internet, and you will find iCloud there, so open it and log in with your Apple ID to access to iCloud

  • Issue using Flash IDE with Mac OS and Windows Web Service using NTLM authentication?

    I have an existing application that I developed on a Windows machine using CS5.  It uses a local intranet web service written in .NET using NTLM authentication.  The web service does multiple things such as read data from an SQL database, provide the user's username, and test for write/read access to a local company fileshare.  When my company upgraded, I went to a Mac with Flash CC which is great.  However, Mac's don't handle HTTP Authorization Challenge Blocks like Windows machines.  In Safari, Chrome, etc. it will pop up a little username and password box and proceed on without issue.  The issue is in Flash development.  When running the exact same application in Flash testing all script access fails with HTTP Status 401 errors.  I have searched the AS3 documentation, but the only thing built in to handle http challenge requests is in AIR not Flash.  The server admin's and I have tried all method's of cross domain policy files and access changes with no luck at all.  Does anyone have a solution to this issue?

  • Open images as float all in windows and not as uneditable background

    I hope the Elements team read these posts occasionally, and realize how many people want to default images to open "float all in windows" instead of having to hunt through the drop down menus to do it every single time PSE is opened. I also want to be able to open everything as an editable layer, rather than having to hunt through the menus every single time for the "new adjustment layer" command. Both of course were done by default by the supposedly primitive and inferior PhotoDeluxe I used on Windows...

    As for the adjustment layers, you can do that right from the layers panel:
    Just click the black and white circle No need for the menus at the top of the screen. If you go to Preferences>General and turn on Allow Floating Documents, you can have floating windows by default in all recent versions of PSE except for 9.0.3:

  • My tool bar and Layers pallet are behind my free floating files how do I get them on top?

    I have been a Photoshop CS user for about 13 years...I recently downladed CS5 to try it before I buy it. I've been a CS3 user for 3 or 4 years now. I love Photoshop but other than Photoshop I am not a very savvy computer user. So please bear with me as I try to explain my problem.
    When I open PSCS5 it fills my computer screen completely  and looks like this: A thin 1/2 inc strip on teh left that holds my "tools", a wider 2 inch strip on the right that holds "Layers, Channels, Paths" and a 1 1/2 inch strip on the top, then a big work area in the middle.
    I usually have 2- 12X12 300 dpi new files open AND 10-15 photos or scrapbook elements and papers open to work on at any one time.
    In prior versions of CS the tool strip and layer pallets strips were ALWAYS on top so I could access them no matter how much was open on the screen. In CS5 I keep burying them and have to dig them out to use them. When I use "Float All in Window", which I need, using Tabs does not allow me to see everything I need to see to work on documents, how do I get the tools and layers on TOP only?
    THANKS for listening...I hope you can help!
    Theresa

    You probably need to undock the panels on the right and the toolbox by clicking and dragging on the top out into the workspace.
    Then move them back to the sides of the workspace without docking them (the blue line means they are going to dock)

  • Issues with color panel and other windows on right side of flash

    Ok the issue I'm having with flash is that the windows on the right side of my flash window do not snap up when I collapse a window. I am attaching a screen shot to better explain this issue.
    As you can see I have the color panel collapsed up, when I expand this panel and it goes down everything shifts down. however when I collapse it back up a huge gap is left behind in CS5.5 as is displayed in screen shot number 2. In CS4 I never had this problem. I could expand and collapse panels as I saw fit with no problems what so ever. Everytime now that I expand a panel and collapse it, the library or other panels do not move up with the collapsing. This causes a workspace issue. and forces me to drag up the library via the black line that is just above it but below the align panel so that I have better access to my library or properties panel for when I'm working. I find this highly annoying and would like it if there could be a fix produced to make it so this collapsing issue can be fixed and I don't have to waste time dragging up the library/properties panel everytime I need to access stuff in my library when I have a huge list of graphics I'm going through.
    Thanks

    browser bar at the top loads half way and then stops. Any ideas?I am on windows 7.Thanks.

    it seems to work when you reset the port
    try this only after you've made sure that any antiviral/firewall software isnt blocking iTunes and the internet connection settings are fine
    1. go to windows, accessories and right click on command prompt and run as administrator
    2. type in netsh winsock reset (i know sounds ridiculous but it works type WITH SPACES) and press enter
    3. Message saying "winsock reset successful now reboot your computer"
    4. restart your computer, and open iTunes..backup should run much smoother and faster
    5.Click on iTunes store might be working now

    This would be the correct setting if the AirPort Extreme is connected to a simple modem (one ethernet port).

    Setup Assistant and Migration Assistant do not restore MS Windows, it only does the OS X partition. All of your Windows stuff must be backed up and restore using a MS Windows application. If no one on this forum is able to answer your question then I'd repost it on a Parallels forum to see how other Windows users approach this.
