Individual email window size default

Here is something that's been annoying me. Recently when I click on the new message icon in Mail or when I double click on a message in my inbox, the message opens in very small dimensions and I have to make it larger. Is there a way to make it open in a standard size like it used to?
Thank you.

If opening a new message window, resizing it, then closing it doesn't set the size permanently, Mail is having trouble writing to the preferences file. If you delete the plist file, the program will recreate it and that usually solves the problem.
Usually, deleting a preference file isn't a big deal, but with Mail, all of your account information is stored there. So, if you delete the plist, you have to then recreate all of your accounts exactly as they were prior to deleting the plist. Then, you'll be able to see all of your email again.
If you wish to go that route, in Finder, hold down the Option key and select Library from Go menu. Go to the preferences folder and find the com.apple.mail.plist and move it to your desktop. Start Mail and re-enter all of your account info just as it was. Close and reopen Mail. You should have all your Mail back and you should be able to reset the message window size.
If you can't make it all work right, replace the com.apple.mail.plist file with the one you copied to your Desktop.

Set finder window size default

How can I set the default finder window size? I've got a new iMac and the finder window always opens small. I want it a lot bigger. Interestingly, on my wife's old iMAc and my MBA (both running OS X 10.8.3, same as new iMac) the finder windows open to a much bigger size.

it seems Finder opens to Applications. Sometimes the folder is the same size as the as the last one I closed. Other times it is tiny. I can't seem to spy a pattern.

What controls whether embedded images scale to email window size?

When I create a new Mail.app msg and insert or drag/drop an image inline, it visually scales to fit the size of my msg window, which is about 60% of my screen width. (I'm not talking about altering the physical size of the image)
However, when I look at the msg from the sent folder or from a copy sent to myself, it appears fullsize, and this causes the msg text to now have a line length equal to the width of the embedded image. So now I have to scroll sideways to read the msg/view the image, or open the note to the size of the image, which I don't want to do. I want the computer to adapt to me, not the other way around.
I'm pretty sure that this used to function as I desire. To further rub it in, I got a msg from a relative today, sent from his peecee using DarkSideSoftware, and those images scale to my msg size. What's the deal?

hi, in prefs, Composing: Message Format: Rich Text
The only contextual menu choices are Download Image and Copy Image. However, if I check an image that scales properly in the email I mentioned, the resulting menu includes:
Open Attachment
Open With
Save Attachment
Save to Downloads Folder
View as Icon
I also notice that 1 sec after hovering over the image in the "good" note, I get a popup for a few seconds indicating the image name, status, mime-type but hovering over the image in the other note produces no result.
I thought it might have something to do with send/recv via .mac (imap) VS the "good" note came via another of my pop accts, but testing shows the same results.
For grins, I blew the dust off Entourage 2004 and let it go get about 200 mail msgs, and the "good" note acts exactly the same, that is the images all scale to window size. The last note I sent via Mail with a 1920x1200 img and downloaded into Entourage displays inline --> smaller <-- than the note window size... It appears Entourage in general wants to scale to 50% of whatever the window size is moved to.
Ok, I took the "good" note which was scaling correctly and used Mail.app to fwd it to my .mac acct and when I download it with Mail.app the images no longer scale, but now show fullsize. Same note functions as before/correctly in Entourage.

Address Book and Window Size Defaults

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, whenever I open Address Book, the window size is teeny tiny and the columns are so itsy bisty narrow as to be entirely useless (like, I get the first 5 letters of each name in the name column, now which Johns... am I seeking?). I have to resize the window and then adjust the column widths every time I open the app.
This is highly annoying. Any ideas about how to fix it?

Have you tried Repairing Permission (using Disk Utility) since upgrading? If not, try that first.
If so, it sounds like your Address Book preferences file might be messed up. You might want to try removing the Address Book preferences file (com.apple.AddressBook.plist) from the /Users/<your user name>/Library/Preferences folder. Don't trash it at first in case you need to put it back.
Close Address Book.
Move the preference file to the Desktop.
Re-launch Address Book.
If the problem is fixed, you can eventually trash the old preference file (a new one will have been created up launch of Address Book).
Keep in mind that any other preferences you may have set up for this application will be lost when you trash the old prefs file, but it may be a worthwhile sacrifice to get it back into working order.
Hope this helps,
Lance

Is there Any Terminal Command to Bring Icon, Doc, App & Window Size to Default

Hi. Is there a kind of universal restore to default (as if it was freshly or cleanly installed) everything in the OS (icon size, dock size, placement or position, app window size default, etc.) either in terminal or some hidden restore to default button in Lion and Leopard? Or everything has to be adjusted manually? Thank you in advance.
Gbu.

You could delete the plists for the things that control those options. The system will then recreate the default plists. plists are preference list files stored in you user/Library/Preferences folder or in the main /Library/Preferences folders. Most can just be deleted without problems; however, some contain setup information (like Mail's) that is difficult to recreate, so moving the plist first so you can restore it if everything goes wonky.
For Finder windows, there is a hidden .DS_Store file that keeps the window settings for each folder. I'm sure I've seen a command to hunt down and delete all of those files.

Individual eMail Size

Is there a way in which I can see the individual eMail size in BlackBerry (I have 8310 Curve) , like we have the size field in Outlook.

There is no option to view individual mail sizes. But by default all the mails are reduced to 32KB and you can request more and you go on reading.

How to change the default window size display font size on Lync 2013 main window?

Hi champs,
Just a simple non-technical question: How to change the default window size display font size on Lync 2013 main window on Windows 7 desktop?
Thanks,

Hi,
Did you mean change the Lync: Change the Default Font and Color of Instant Messages just as Edwin said above?
If not, as I know, there is no natural way to change it.
If yes, on the latest version of Lync 2013 client, there is a new option “IM” on Lync client “Options” list. And you need to change the default Font and Color of IM in the interface of “IM”.
Best Regards,

How to change default window size?

I'm using MX 6.0 on Mac... For some reason I can't figure out
how to change the default window size in the work windows. Every
time I open a new file to work on it opens to a smaller size than
the actual page is. When opening pages dozens of times a day, it
gets annoying to have to resize each time. I'm sure it wasn't
always like this, but I can't figure out how to change it so the
default size that it opens to each time is larger.
Thanks for any help,
DD

How to change Default Finder Windows Size?

Hi all:
New Finder windows show Macintosh HD and there is no problem in keeping the size or view options every time I open a new window (command + N).
I can change "New Finder windows show" to another folder and works just as well.
But when I open a folder in a new window (double click on an icon folder) the size of the window is very small and different from the window displayed by using command + N.
Finder saves and applies default view options to all windows without a problem, but not the default size or in other words:
default windows size is different from new finder windows size.
In Snow Leopard I could change default size of all windows holding down the Shift key while dragging and changing the size but in Mountain Lion it does not work.
I have also deleted all files .DS_Store but neither works.
I searched a lot but can not find a solution to this problem.
Thanks.

As far as New Finder Windows (command+N) are concerned, there's no problem.
All other folder's Finder Windows I have not modified manually are displayed with the default size shown in the attached image. That is the window size that I want to modify.
Thanks.

Terminal.app won't return window to default size with open tab

I regularly have multiple Terminal.app windows open with multiple tabs open in them. If I have a window open with no tabs, I can drag scale the window to whatever size is convenient for me at the moment, then use the Window > Return to Default Size function to make it go back to my default size configured in the app preferences.
The problem comes when I have a window open that is already scaled to a different size and I open a tab. This resets the default size to whatever size the window was when the tab was opened. The result is that if I use the Window > Return to Default Size function, it does nothing, unless the window has been scaled again, then it resets the window size to what it was when the tab was opened, not the default size configured in my preferences.
Is this a feature, or a bug? Is there a way I can make it retain the default size dimensions even when I've opened a tab?

I would solve the problem by resizing after closing the added tab. However, your inquiry is really beyond my abilities. Questions do get answered in these forums; sometimes not, in which case resorting to Apple Support _may_ resolve the issue. Have you checked out posting under "Mac OS X Technologies"? I believe there are Unix sections to that forum. Good luck.

How can I change the default window size of a new message permanently?

The mail window opens up very small and every time I must increase the size manually. I want to be able to set it so it opens larger or at least opens to the saem size as a previous mail window, which is what Mail used to do.
Also, can anyone tell me how to stop that new mail window from opening on the bottom left of my screen? I need to move it in orde to increase the window size. So, 2 default actions that are a psin to constantly deal with.
Is there any guru out there who has had this problem and solved it? Thanks!

Acrobat 7.0 Professional - default window size

How do I set a default opening window size (to fit A4 @ 125%) for all PDFs?
I'm running OS X 10.6.8 with Acrobat 7.0 Professional.
Can't find anything that works on this.
Would appreciate any suggestions.

You can install Acrobat 7 from within the Creative Suite 2 installation I believe.

Adobe Acrobat X - initial (default) window size to large

I recently changed my monitor and now whenever I open a PDF the default window size takes up 80% of my screen. I'm using Filemaker 12 to create these PDFs, and the inital view is set to Page Only, Single Page and 100% Magnification. The problem is the Acrobat window is about twice the size of the page width, covering up the rest of my windows. I cannot find the setting to specify the default window size?
I'm running Acrobat X 10.1.6, running on OS X 10.8.3
Please advise.

How are you creating your PDF from Excel? Are you using the PDFMaker macro or the Adobe PDF printer?

I have Firefox 6. How do I resize the download window? It is currently maximised, but I want to work with a smaller window by default. The Size option is greyed out.

I have no possibility to change the size of the current download window or to define a new default download window size and position.

If you can't resize the window (try Alt+Space) then you may have to reset the toolbars.

Set custom default window size for opening Preview?

I'm using a terminal-based text editor, and when I compile LaTeX files, I have a script to open the compiled pdf in Preview. The trouble is that Preview opens in the same default dimensions every time, which covers up other applications I have open.
It's not a huge deal, but it would be nice to have Preview open flushed right and as half the width of the screen every time. Since I'm opening and closing it so often, moving it and resizing it every time gets really annoying.
I realize this isn't a built-in option for Preview, but is there any way of doing it using Terminal or otherwise? I've googled around and haven't found any satisfactory answers yet.
Thanks!

Hi zazi,
Each window opened takes the size of the previous window opened.
Its possible to zoom in and out as well [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/font-size-and-zoom-increase-size-of-web-pages]
Also see:
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/changes-toolbars-and-window-sizes-are-not-saved]
You can look at this extension to adjust the font size for the user interface.
