In the Thunderbird Mail Toolbar, can you change the name of an icon? I would like to change "Write" to "Compose".

Couple of months ago I switched from MacMail to Thunderbird. The transition has gone pretty well, but I am less than enamored of T-bird Toolbar button (named Write) that you use to compose a new email. I would prefer it to be named "Compose". So I was just wondering whether there's any easy (or not) way to do that. I have done some searching for an answer to this, but I'm either searching ineffectively or there's nothing around. TIA.

You are welcome. Personally, I'm applying a bunch of patches (other than string changes) for each release, and hacking omni.ja works well for me. It's basically an optimized ZIP file and can be unpacked with many common tools. However, it may break when trying to ''re''pack it. Thus, unpack it completely into some new temporary folder, make any changes there, rename the original omni.ja and zip the folder contents into the new omni.ja (obviously while Thunderbird is down).
A more permanent option might be to create an extension that adds a "clone" of the "Write" button to the main toolbar, which is identical except for having the desired label and a different id (or maybe the same id would just override it?), then you can swap it from the toolbar's customization dialog. This certainly has a learning curve but you would be done with doing this effort once. Someone experienced in add-on writing would need to help you here (which I'm not).
Anyway, plenty of ways to screw things up. ;-)

    Drag the Library from the Pictures folder to the Users/Shared folder. I would point out that folks doing this on 10.6 and later frequently meet permissions issues. You might do better moving it to an appropriately formatted External Disk.

  • On the iPhone 5/5s, can you hear the other person properly when they are lying down?

    When I use the iPhone 5s while lying down in bed, the other person is unable to hear me.  When someone who is using the iPhone 5s is lying down in bed, I cannot hear them. 
    Is this a known issue?  Has anyone else experienced this issue?  Does anyone know what causes this issue?  I actually used to have this same issue with the HTC One, and I was under the impression that it had to do with the accelerometer of smartphones.  I do not know of any other difference between smart phones and normal phones.
    It's rather annoying, such a basic feature of a PHONE product to be able to talk and hear clearly.  Major fail, Apple.  For this alone, I may consider switching to another phone.
    I have found other comments from iPhone 5 users who have the same issue:  http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/11/29/iphone-5-review/
    MICROPHONE
    I don’t know if it’s because I have big hands or what, but there many times when people on the other end of the phone can’t understand a thing I’m saying. Specifically, any time I lay down flat on my back, the iPhone 5′s microphones seem to go especially bad. A few times, it’s gotten so bad that the people on the other end of the line hung up because they couldn’t deal with it.

    Please Apple.  Fix this significant bug/defect in your product in your next software update.  I know this is a software issue probably related to the Accelerometer detecting that the phone is not upright and then turning off the receiver.  Not sure why you would even want to do that.
    It is ridiculous that the iPhone cannot perform the most BASIC function of voice calls.  After all, that is what you buy the phone for... the texting, internet, applications are all bonus.  Phones are used while lying down, upside down, lying on the side, etc.  You are basically hurting yourself and your customer base with this significant design flaw.  Think about all the couples talking to their significant others when they're lying in bed first thing in the morning or last thing in the evening they are long distance.  Think about hospital patients who want to speak with their families.  Think about the homeless on the streets with their iPhones lying down calling people to give them money (or not...).  
    Anyway, you get my point.  PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix it.  I only recently changed from being an Android user to an iPhone user... this is seriously my biggest gripe with your product.

  • My webpages are oversized and overlapping the top 3 toolbars, can't access the buttons or address field.

    So right off the bat, my webpages are extending up too high all the way to the top covering all 3 tool bars. I can disable and enable the different tool bars through the options menu and I can see it flicker/half appear. Don't know what the problem is, maybe it is a screen resolution thing.. but I can't navigate anywhere as all the functions are blocked by my current webpage, as if a painting's size was too tall for the frame so it covers the top portion of the frame.
    Thanks

    You're welcome

  • Can you share the desktop through Apple TV

    Curious? What all can you push to the TV screen.  Can you push the desktop to the TV?

    No, you can't share the desktop.
    AppleTv does not mirror video content it actually decodes compatible media streams pushed/pulled to it or accessed via the internet.
    Check the AppleTV specs/write up.

    You made a purchase and exhausted the credit on your card before it processed. All purchases are final. Contact iTunes Store support. You need to settle up before you can purchase or download anything else.

    Does anyone could help me? Thanks !!

    How recently did you switch?  If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account.  The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices.  I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices...

    HI Emmet,
    thanks so much for your posts back. I really appreciate it and yes that does help to know that you could not get it working.
    I did have some success, in removing the SSL Authentication checkbox in the smtp server settings - I found that this allowed my friend to be able to send mail from the mail app via his sbcglobal (yahoo) account.
    So that did help but of course the messages do not have ssl encryption and I'm not sure how big a deal that is for an individual. He is able to receive mail but unless the SSL authentication box is unchecked, he cannot send.
    i hope that helps anyone out there also!
    Thanks also for the tip about sparrow - yes I have heard of it and it is very popular, he may end up using that in the end.    
    Thanks again, much appreciated.

    Of course they would say that. Tell us are there any other problems?
    Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause

    Make sure you have the latest version. The best thing to do is first remove
    the program, then get the full installer.

  • How can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

    And by using the same Apple ID you can also share purchases.  If you have a different Apple ID for each iPhone then you can't share purchases.

  • Can you mimic the mail-merge part of Recuitment to other areas of HRMS?

    We are migrating to Oracle HR from a legacy system that allows users to run custom mail-merge MS Word docs from almost any screen that they choose. Is it possible to do this in HRMS from areas other than OTA and Recruitment?
    For example, when someone leaves the company, automatically run a letter. Are Oracle Alerts suitable for this? Or would this have to be a manual concurrent request? We don't want Oracle Reports as a concurrent process, as the MS Word output is difficult to edit with all of the frames it uses. We also don't want the users to manually enter parameters - just use the current record on the screen.
    TIA
    Regards, PRW

    Paul,
    You can create custom Web ADI Integrators for any HRMS forms apart from the HRMS People Management template forms. You will need to create a view similar to the one used by the forms and make sure you link the Web ADI Layout to a Mailmerge template document. I can walk you through if you want.
