Increase the pointer area

that's it.. is it possible to increase the mouse pointer area?
not the cursor image, but the area upon which the click takes effect!
i'd like to make it easier to grab the window edges and so on..

maybe i'm just too used to windows' precision enhancement algorithm, which works great when you speed up your pointer. i see i'm not the only one who misses that: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=277063
nevermind, i'll learn to be more precise

  • How do I increase the point size and change the font for the windows and boxes on Maverick such as the tiny print on the email inbox list of messages.  Can increase size on the actual message but not on the list of messages.

    How do I increase the point size in the dialog boxes and especially on the list of messages on email?  I can increase the point size and font of actual messages content but not the LIST of emails in my inbox.  They are too small for me to read.

  • I need to increase the point size in a form to more than 18pt.

    I have a PDF that needs to be edited continuely (Prices for a shop table) I am creating a form feild, but it seems that the point size can only be increased to 18pt. This is simply too small.
    Any suggestions would be fantastic.

    I just resolved this. You can just type the font size in the drop down box...I know.

  • Increase the caption area

    Hello,
    i am working on a photo book as a gift for family members. However, the default text area is not large enough for the caption I want to include. There is plenty of space on the page, and I really don't want to make the font smaller, so is there anyway to increase the size of the caption area from 1 line to 3-4?

    The sizes of the text fields are fixed and depend on the theme and the page layout. You could try different themes or change the layout options to a different page layout.
    Only be careful - switching the theme may erase text. Try the different themes on a copy of the book and not your original.

  • Increasing the Click Area of a Movie Clip

    Hello,
    Right now i'm making a RTS style game sort of like Age of Empires. A current problem i'm having is when I click on my troop, it has to be a precice point in order for it to be selected, making it really hard to click on it since that precice point is so small (i'm guessing it's the registration point). I'm wondering if there's anyway you can make it so that instead of clicking just that small point, you can make it so that the troop is selected by clicking anywhere in the mc's area.
    What I have right now for code for clicking on the MC is this:
    soldier.onRelease = function() {
              iVN = 2;
    and on the MC itself I have this (this is just part of the code on the MC, not all code on it):
    onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
              if (_root.iVN == 2) {
                        endX = _root._xmouse;
                        endY = _root._ymouse;
                        trace('Moving to location');
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Kind Regards

    You should remove the code from the object and place it on the timeline. 
    The entire mc that has that code assigned to it should be effective in mouse interactions, not the registration point.  PArt of the problem night be the way you have it coded.  onRelease completes/occurs following a mouseUp interaction, so if you are expecting the value of _root.iVN to be == 2 while the mouseDown is in effect, it definitely will not be the first time you click down.

  • Increasing the size of designated text area in a photo book

    I am using IPhoto version 9.5.1 on a MacBook Pro (10.9.2). I am trying to increase the designated text area so that I can increase the font size. This will allow for the final product to be more legible. Currently, I am featuring a student per page. The designated text areas are 4 separate sections on these pages.  I would like to include on each page the following.
    Aviator
    Person's Name
    Algebra I
    Homecoming Dance
    When I increase the font size in those 4 designated areas, the red caution triangle with exclamation point states, 'This text doesn't fit the designated text area!' 
    I have two questions.
    1. How do I increase the text area so the larger text will fit and print properly?
    2. Is there an overall command that I can input these increases to the text area so that the 36 papes have the same changes in the designated text areas? Otherwise, I will have to make those changes for each individual pages that are featuring a student.

    You can "adjust" a photo frame or text box size on a page with the following key combinations:
    Command + Option +⬆arrow:  increase frame height.
    Command + Option +⬇arrow:  decrease frame height.
    Command + Option + ➜ arrow:  increase frame width.
    Command + Option + ⬅ arrow:  decrease frame width.
    To adjust its position on the page use these key combinations:
    Command + Control + ➜ arrow:  move frame to right.
    Command + Control + ⬅  arrow:  move frame to left.
    Command + Control + ⬆ arrow:  rotate frame counter clockwise.
    Command + Control + ⬇ arrow:  rotate frame clockwise.
    You can conver the standard frame (on the left) to this one (on the right)
    Always be sure to create a PDF file of the book for proofing before ordering a book. This Apple document describes how to create the PDF file: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture. Keep the PDF file to compare it with the printed copy when it arrives.
    If you have Pages you can easily create custom book pages as images and add them to a 1 photo per page layout by following this tutorial: iP11 - Creating a Custom Page, with the Theme's Background for an iPhoto Book

  • The points! where are they?

    I had at-least 160-170 points with the status of an explorer, how did it change to a newbie

    Yes, the points were most certainly miscalculated during the upgrade.
    From what I'm told (I don't generally keep track of my points) I gained something like 15,000 points during the upgrade.  Since the maintenance script I appear to have gone back down by about the same amount, so it looks about right, and it means I've dropped back down a place on the 'leaderboard' for the SQL and PL/SQL forum, which is where I was before.
    From what admin say, they believe all the points are now correct, though it's hard to tell exactly so a few hundred points here or there (give or take) isn't going to hurt anyone (not that they can hurt anyway).
    Compared to performance issues, and buggy editor etc. the points are hardly a priority for the working of the forums.

  • Clarification on the Points System

    Hey all,
    I was away for two weeks on vacation recently and was pleasantly surprised to find the point and level system functional again. I have questions however as to how the points are accumulated between the various forums. Typically I post in the 15" PowerBook forums as this is what I have. From time to time I will post in other areas of the forum. I see that I am listed among the 'Top Rated Members in Forum' for the PowerBook but my points only seem to increase as I am awarded them there. I have two 'helpfulls' and one 'solved' in the Tiger forums which do not seem to have been added to my total. Am I mistaken in this observation or will those points be added later? Also, if someone replies to me and the topic is marked 'solved' but I didn't get a green star then I take it no points were awarded for that?
    Jrsy

    Hey Jrsy --
    Welcome back! Hope you had a great vacation. We missed you in the PB 15 forum (and elsewhere, of course, too).
    I'm pretty sure your points accrue regardless of where you earn them. In fact, I know that's true. it's just that in each forum or category of forums, there are running subtotals of who has earned the most mosts in that particularl category, and those only count points earned in that fora.
    But if you were to look at your "Public Profile" you'd notice that all your points from all fora and category of fora are reflected.
    To put the above in play, your points earned in the Using Tiger forum would not rank you high enough to be included in the forum's highest point earners in that forum (Dr. Smoke and others make that an impossibility), but you would notice that they did add to your over all point total, as that takes into account all forums throughout the Discussions.
    In the Using Your PB 15-inch forum, on the other hand, where your point total in that particular forum ranks you among the top point earners in that forum, well, those points you'd notice right away, because you're that forum's top earners.
    Like Mark Twain famously once said, I'd have made this response shorter (and no doubt clearer, too), but I didn't have the time. Any further questions, just holler.
    -- JDee
    PS And like Tuttle already noted, I forgot the first time 'round, the thread that's marked "answered" and receives a little green star, but with no points awarded to any responsive post, that's just the new Discussions' system way of allowing the OP to say "question solved, either on my own or with no consideration of those that helped me."

  • Using my iMac, how do I customize the point size of the text on Office365

    I have this beautiful iMac monitor.  I just upgraded to Office365 Home Edition and now I have navigation bars and columns that have text that is hard for me to read.  I simply want to move from 8 pt type, or whatever they're using, to 12 pt type size.   Is there a way to increase the point size on the font and otherwise customize, for this particular application?
    Thanks very much.

  • Pen tool -- can't toggle any of the points

    Hey guys, I need some help with the pen tool. i am making my anchor points but anytime i click on them to try and alter the points, i cannot. i see the toggle lines attached to the anchor points, but they disappear, which isnt allowing me to make changes. i have worked on illustrator  before and have used the pen tool. other times, the pen tool allows me to draw out my images, and allows me to see where all the points are when i select the lines. it does not, now.

    Stella,
    I believe you were using the Direct Selection Tool for that.
    Or the Convert Anchor Point Tool (flyout from the Pen Tool at ClickHold).

  • N73 me increasing the loudness

    i have a n73 me mobile and i am not satesfied with the loudness of the music. i have changed the equalizer and the audio settings but then to it does not increase the volume

    there are a number of reasons for that
    1. the EU regulated the loudness of music on mobile phones. any music phone before the n91 plays louder than newer models.
    2. the default head phones are good, but if you want loudness and really good sound get another pair. that is the beauty of the headset, other headphones of choice can be connected.
    everything happens for a reason

    Dear Manjunath:

  • Is it only 'Points' is the point on which SDN exist ???....

    and
    2. [Jiccs P] -- [https://forums.sdn.sap.com/profile.jspa?userID=3786665].......
    Just look at the Questions Posted and the Answering given with the relevant points......
    Is it only Points what is SDN about ?????
    So folks,
    Just have a look at the following links ..
    1. [Difference]
    This one is really very interesting as far as points are considered....
    2. [Cross Application]
    3. [smartform]
    and many more to come until supervised or blocked.........
    ....This is not about the Points but true knowledge sharing.....and these times its becoming another competetion of points.....does it really matter ?....I dont think so...its only Yourself who will survive and not the supplementaries........
    Warm Regards,
    Abhi...

    Rich, Thomas and myself as well as many others DID NOT get our jobs at SAP because of points. SDN was a place where we could however show our knowledge and abilities.
    Remember the points are secondary through great contribution comes great points but the contribution is what really matters.

  • Is the point system broken?

    I have always been slightly amused by the point system and the little crosses since I came back to the forums after a few years away.
    I imagine that knowing that someone has answered a lot of questions that have been marked as Correct or Helpful could be a handy indicator to someone new to the forums. Like Bill Hunt for example. It isn't the points as much as the percentage of points as a ratio to the number of posts. It indicates that people have often marked his answers as useful.
    Well, the other day I noticed that I had reached 996 points and I was about to get a third marker. Try as I might to be nonchalant about it, since the points are not all that important, it still kind of threw me off when I got stalled at 996. I have had two correct answers lately and yet my points no longer increment.
    So, is the system broken? Are my points being held up for review for some reason? Or, is there some other reason? I guess I am just curious about it. I keep telling myself it doesn't matter. Yet, what can I say? Pride is just one of those vices that is hard to shake. Throw a little vanity in there and ....

    It is like riding a roller coaster. Wheeeeee!  Back up to 1101 points!!!!
    I can only imagine how this would feel if I was one of those people who are really mad at Adobe right now over the subscription issue instead of being pleased as punch about being let back into the game so inexpensively. Yikes! This would be like rubbing salt in the wound instead of being funny.

  • I bought the Airport Extreme because I thought it would increase the range of the WiFi signal in my house. I have a DSL modem (also Wifi) and there are parts of the house that do not seem to have a strong Wifi signal.

    I bought the Airport Extreme because I thought it would increase the range of the WiFi signal in my house. I have a DSL modem (also Wifi) and there are parts of the house that do not seem to have a strong Wifi signal. The Airport Extreme does not seem to be increasing my Wifi signal strength? Any thoughts on what I could be doing wrong? I am able to connect to it, etc. Just thought the strength would be better.

    The broadcast power of all wireless routers and devices is limited by law.....and all manufacturers run their routers full blast.....so the relative signal strength of wireless routers from one manufacturer to another will tend to be remarkably similar.....despite the fancy advertising claims.
    You may want to consider adding another AirPort Extreme to "extend" the signal strength in your home. If you decide to do this, the "extending" Extreme would normally need to be located at a point that is approximately half the distance from your "main" AirPort Extreme and the general area that needs more wireless coverage.
