Increasing the size of an application

On my MacBook Air, I find the default font size to be too small in many applications for my imperfect eyesight. Some applications support 'zoom' (eg, Safari), other applications support font-size changes (eg, Mail), and of course I can simply reduce the overall resolution of my display to make everything 'bigger' if necessary. I have read many, many people having the same problem and lots of suggestions to use this feature:
http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20110322011218363
Extract:
defaults write /theapp/ AppleDisplayScaleFactor 0.85
To reset back to the default behavior use:
defaults write /theapp/ AppleDisplayScaleFactor 1
Please note that /theapp/ needs to be replaced by one of the following:
com.apple.iTunes
com.apple.mail
(etc)
(yes, this particular user is showing how to REDUCE the size of an app display, rather than increase it, but the principle is the same, you just use a factor > 1).
However, this feature appears to have been removed in the latest os (I'm on Mavericks 10.9.3). Is this known to be no longer available?
As an aside, I was using a windows 8.1 laptop yesterday and it had rather amazing scaling support; every app I launched could be scaled very smoothly using the touchscreen (less smoothly, for reasons that make little sense, using the touchpad).

Consider using AffineTransform or simply scale() method of graphics.

How to increase the size of acquisition window in C++ code

Hi,
I am using PCI 1405 to continuously acquire video images from vcr playback.
I tried to make use of the OnGrab function provided in the sample files, and included this function into my C++ application, without using LabView.
However I have difficulties increasing the size of the acquisition window (the maximum seems to be 640 by 480) using the api functions of the niimaq.h.
Thanks a lot.
Best regards
I

EDIT: I noticed that you already posted the question in the appropriate forum..

Hi,
Many Thanks Charles
Oracle does not recommend using the SORT_AREA_SIZE parameter unless the instance is configured with the shared server option. Oracle recommends that you enable automatic sizing of SQL working areas by setting PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET instead. SORT_AREA_SIZE is retained for backward compatibility."
--How can i know the instance is configured with the shared server option or not?This might be a tough question to answer. A shared server configuration may be enabled, but the clients may still connect using dedicated sessions, in which case PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET would still apply.
From
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/dynviews_2088.htm
V$SESSION includes a column named SERVER which will contain one of the following for each of the sessions: DEDICATED, SHARED, PSEUDO, or NONE. As a quick check, you could query V$SESSION to see if any sessions are connected using a shared server connection.
From:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/manproc.htm
There are several parameters which are used to configure shared server support, as well as several views to monitor shared server.
As Robert mentioned, when the WORKAREA_SIZE_POLICY is set to AUTO, the SORT_AREA_SIZE setting is not used, unless a shared server configuration is in use.
--What default value is WORKAREA_SIZE_POLICY and SORT_AREA_SIZE ?From:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/initparams157.htm
"Setting PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET to a nonzero value has the effect of automatically setting the WORKAREA_SIZE_POLICY parameter to AUTO. This means that SQL working areas used by memory-intensive SQL operators (such as sort, group-by, hash-join, bitmap merge, and bitmap create) will be automatically sized. A nonzero value for this parameter is the default since, unless you specify otherwise, Oracle sets it to 20% of the SGA or 10 MB, whichever is greater."
Actually I am facing performence issue since long time till now i did not get the solution even i have raised SRs but i could not.When the issue occur system seems hang.what i monitored whenever hdisk0 and hdisk1 use 100% the issue occur.
Regards,
SajidWhen you say that you have had a performance issue for a long time, is it a performance problem faced by a single SQL statement, a single user, a single application, or everything on the server? If you are able to identify a single user, or SQL statement that is experiencing poor performance, I suggest starting with a 10046 trace at level 8 (wait events) or level 12 (wait events and bind variables) to determine why the execution appears to be slow. If you have not yet determined a specific user or SQL statement that is experiencing performance problems, you might start with either a Statspack Report or an AWR Report (AWR requires a separate license).
If you believe that temp tablespace usage may be a contributing factor to the performance problem, you may want to periodically run this query, which will indicate currently in use temp tablespace usage:
{code}
SELECT /*+ ORDERED */
TU.USERNAME,
S.SID,
S.SERIAL#,
S.SQL_ID,
S.SQL_ADDRESS,
TU.SEGTYPE,
TU.EXTENTS,
TU.BLOCKS,
SQL.SQL_TEXT
FROM
V$TEMPSEG_USAGE TU,
V$SESSION S,
V$SQL SQL
WHERE
TU.SESSION_ADDR=S.SADDR
AND TU.SESSION_NUM=S.SERIAL#
AND S.SQL_ID=SQL.SQL_ID
AND S.SQL_ADDRESS=SQL.ADDRESS;
{code}
The SID and SERIAL# returned by the above could then be used to enable a 10046 trace for a session. The SQL_ID (and CHILD_NUMBER from V$SESSION in recent releases) could be used with DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY_CURSOR to return the execution plan for the SQL statement.
You could also take a look in V$SQL_WORKAREA_ACTIVE to determine which, if any, SQL statement are resulting in single-pass, or multi-pass executions, which both access the temp tablespace.

How can I increase the size of UI toolbars across Adobe Creative suite?

How can I increase the size of UI toolbars across Adobe Creative suite especially indesign, photoshop, illustrator on a new Apple retina display 2560 x 1140 with out changing/scaleing my screen resolution down?

While some applications let you change the font size of the UI (notably Photoshop in Interface Preferences), others do not yet (like InDesign).
You'll need to make your request using this form for it to be seen by the product manager(s):
Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
Make a good case because there are hundreds (thousands?) of things people request InDesign to do.

Using OS 7.02, is there a way to increase the size of the folders?

Before OS 7.02, I could place a number of application icons in a folder. After the "upgrade" I now am required to look through as many as three subfolders to find the icon. Can I either increase the size of the 1st folder displayed or decrease the size of the icon so I can fit more of them in the first folder?

I found the solution today on Microsoft's website. It worked for Illustrator but not for Photoshop. If Acrobat would stop crashing every time I open a file - or if someone on the forum could give me a solution to why it does - I could furnish the URL.

Increasing the size of JPanel.

I am trying to develop a Swing a application. The Application consists of a JFrame embedded in it is JScrollPane. The client for JScrollPane is a JPanel. At runtime i need to change the size of the JPanel topwards.
I have gone thru the scroll pane tutorial in sunwebiste wherein it is mentioned how to increase the size of the jpanel bottom wards at runtime. Is there any way to increase the size of the JPanel upwards. The requirement is if a new component comes in and i need to add in the top right corner i should be able to do it and it should accordingly increase the size of the panel both ways(top as well as right side) in case the component cannot fit into the panel.
I would appreciate if anyone can help me out at the earliest.
Thanks & Regards,

There is no simple way to do it.
What is the layout of the JPanel that is the client (viewport) of the JScrollPane ?

PS Are you working on a version for the iPad and iPhone with Add Blocker? That would be great!

Here are some zoom add-ons which might provide a workaround:

How do I increase the size of the text on the toolbar?

How do I increase the size of the toolbar text, please? For some reason, it's now very tiny, and everything I do only increases the font size of whichever web sites I access (which is not what I'm wanting to accomplish).
Thanks in advance for any help in this. Actually, I'm wondering what I might have done that would make the toolbar so tiny?

Do you mean the menu bar at the very top of your screen?
If so, open System Preferences > Displays > Display > Scaled
Try a different resolution.

How can I set timings to increase the size of an image in a Keynote presentation?

I know how to use inspector to bring in and fade out text boxes, but at the end of a slide I have a graphic (that is at the bottom of the slide during the rest of the slide) that I want to increase the size of to take up the entire slide. How can I do this?
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The effect you're looking for is 'Scale'
In Keynote '09, 5.1.1 select the graphic.
Click Inspector in the tool bar, Build Inspector (3rd icon from the left), (Build In and Build Out are both set to None for this step) Effect, Action, and then Scale.
It rescales ('zooms') the selected item (image) up or down from 0% to 200%
Clicking on the More Options button at the bottom opens a drawer to the left, and gives you more control over how the build occurs, whether they happen automatically, timed, or when you click, and re-order build steps.
At 200%, double the original size, resolution could be a problem. There is a workaround, because it also scales smaller, down to 0%. So I would scale the graphic down 'small' as the first step to fit at the bottom, (even hide it behind a background-colored box) as you scale it down, and then at the end, scale up to full size to fill the screen at 'normal' resolution.
In the attached example, I use a 'scale' up to go from 100% to 130% on a map, and use arrows and a flashing line to point out the road where a specific business is located with 12 steps. Some elements in my slides have been intentionally obscured. For simplicity, I've eliminated showing any steps but the initial title and the scale.

How to increase the size of text boxes in FCPX without stretching the text inside?

How to increase the size of text boxes in FCPX without stretching the text inside?

There are two basic Title formats — I should say Layouts — available: Text (plain) and Paragraph. (The plain text version usually does not appear with the blue dot controls — those generally appear for the paragraph type control.)
If the Title is using a Paragraph layout, it's like having a mini version of Text Edit available inside FCPX. You can tell when you click on the text (when the title is selected) -- a rectangle will appear around the text like so:
double clicking on the text will give you the bounds controls which you can use to redefine the text area without distorting the text. Once selected, notice the button that appears in the top right corner of the canvas:
Pressing that will activate the ruler. You can right click on the ruler and add Tab Stops (left, right, center and decimal.)
So if the title uses paragraph formatting, you can create a very WYSIWYG type of display text (use the Text inspector to alter text selections within the paragraph bounds.)

Pick yourself up by your own bootstrap too?
Reinstall after restoring to HFS only then.
You want something that works, then spend the $20 on Paragon CampTune or WinClone 3.
