Is there a shortcut to adjust icon spacing?

Is there a shortcut to adjust icon spacing without selecting 'show view options?'

Well yeah, I know about that, but what I am asking is: for example, I use the track pad and when you swipe two finger out the icons enlarge and vise/versa. Is there a short that would allow me to expand and contract the icon spacing similarly to the icon size?

  • Is there a shortcut to adjust brightness on dual LED display?

    i have a 24" LED display hooked up to a macbook pro. the F1 and 2 keys adjust the brightness on my laptop display, which is dandy, and i can open the display preferences and adjust the slider for brightness on the LED display, but i'd love a keyboard shortcut. is there one? thanks!

    There used to be a way in the old Quicktime to adjust the color or brightness of a video if it was too dark to view. It seems this functionality has completely gone away.  Why?
    QT is now two decades old and Apple is out to re-write its technology by making a clean break between the old and new. As such, QT X is in its infancy and has yet to reach a point it its development where Apple can refine the "extras" we all miss. My suggestion is to install the dual 32-/64-bit version of QT 7 and use it when you wish to access the A/V control panel. Both QT X and QT 7 can be installed/used simultaneously on the same Snow Leopard system. The QT structure is already embedded in your OS and only requires installation of the QT Player 7.6.6  for Mac OS X.6.3 and later. Note that the QT 7 Player is installed in your "Applications/Utilities" folder and should be left there to ensure proper updates. Also, if you have a valid QT 7 "Pro" key, you can key this player for "Pro" use.

  • Elements 12 why are there no adjustment icons in my adjustement tab when i open it

    Hi all
    I used to use an old version from a printer bundle and recently bought V12.
    I am sure originally in the right hand panel there was a "button" which when clicked opened a window which showed all the adjustment functions by icon - I have lost it?
    It I use the main menu and "windows" > "adjustments" it opens the same or very similar window as I used to have, it is empty ( I do have an image loaded with layers), if I click the top right 3 bar icon the drop down shows all the functions and I can select and run any one in turn.
    I have struggled to find he original very handy window - perhaps I dreamt it.
    All of this is in expert mode, but I have checked the other modes with no joy, they obviously have the items in the panel but in the simplified for of sliders etc.
    any help please
    cheers

    Hi,
    Can you remember which version the old one was?
    The Adjustments windows only shows the setting controls for any adjustment layer selected - it will normally be automatically displayed when you create a new adjustment layer or double click on an existing adjustment layer.
    If you have the layer panel open, there is an adjustment icon there, which if you click on, will open a list of adjustment layers that you can add ion text form not icons.
    That's about the nearest I can get to what I think you want.

  • Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously?

    Hi Apple community,
    This is my first go at this so be kind,
    My question concerns launchpad. Coming from Snow Leopard I had been using spaces. I like to keep certain bundles of programs on separate desktops, for example all word processing related tasks in one place. I have set up the equivalent on Yosemite.
    My problem is concerns the loss of exposé. Now I know when you swipe into launch pad you get a very similar effect but the issue I am having concerns the "zoom out" effect when you swipe into launchpad. With exposé all open apps/pages etc would be fully exposed - in my case several (sometimes as many as 9 word documents). What I am running into is when I do this in / into launch pad the "pile" of docs is exposed but they are still overlapping so I can't get a good look at which is which and visually identify where I want to navigate to.
    My question is this; Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously? If so, instructions on how to do so would be greatly appreciated. Any alternative suggestions to doing this outside of launchpad are also welcome. If there is an exposé app for example, I would be quite willing to go that route.
    My main concern is being able to quickly (ie a touchpad gesture) expand all the open pages so I can bounce between them.
    Much thanks from a loyal Apple friend.

    Hey Eric,
    Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
    Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

    __ Is there a way to adjust the key commands for switching channels in curves?
    By that I mean <command> + 1 for cyan, <command> + 2 for magenta etc. like Photoshop CS3 rather than <option> + 3 for cyan etc.
    There's gotta be a way under Edit --> Keyboard Shortcuts - but I can't find it!

  • Is there a shortcut for starting a new iMessage?

    Is there a shortcut for creating a new iMessage from anywhere in OS X?
    I know it doesn't take a long time to open messages and start a new conversation but it would be nice if there was a shortcut that allowed a new conversation to be started from anywhere. Here is an example of what I am looking for. I accessed this by clicking the messages icon on someone's contact page.

  • How to reset all the icon spacing etc in Finder back to default?

    I have tried to set back to the default values but it's still isn't quite the same as before -- the horizontal spacing is correct but not the vertical one. Is there a way to reset the icon spacing as default?
    Thank you.

    Your not done... That will set the user defined defaults back to the Apple defined defaults. To get your folders to use the Apple defined defaults, open up a folder showing the wrong spacing and press Command-J to bring up the View Options window. At the bottom of the View Options window there is a button that says "Use as Defaults". Press the Option Key and the "Use as Defaults" button will change to "Restore to Defaults". Click the "Restore to Defaults" button and the folder will go back to the Apple defined default settings. You might need to Control-click on the window for the folder and select "Clean Up" to get things lined up. Good luck...

  • Image Adjust icon missing from tool bar

    I've got the latest Keynote running on my Macbook, but it seems to be missing the Image Adjust icon, the one that sits right next to Inspector icon on my desktop G5 running the exact same version of the program.
    I can get to image adjust through the menu bar going to View>Show Adjust Image, but on my desktop computer, there is an icon right in the Keynote toolbar.
    Can't for the life of me determine why it doesn't present itself on my laptop. Any ideas? Many thanks, Bob Krist

    Try right clicking on the toolbar and choose Costumize Toolbar (or via the View menu (it should be the last option in the View menu) then you will see a array of icons which can be placed on the toolbar as you see fit.
    and maybe the window is to narrow to be able to display the icon and it falls of at the end, there then should be an '>>' icon, which when pressed should show all the icons that dont fit.

  • Desktop - Horizontal Icon Spacing

    This problem just came up a few days ago, but my icon horizontal spacing is defaulting to double what it normally should be. I can manually move the icons into the double-wide space but they will automatically space themselves double what they normally should. I have linked you to a screenshot for reference. This is how my icons default:
    http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/30382196/
    MacBook Pro 1.83   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    I've experienced the same problem on two different macs now. There doesn't seem to be any logic to it either. For example, when I set my icon size to 32x32 and my font size to 10, I get double icon spacing on my desktop. If I keep the icon size at 32x32 but change the font size to 11, it changes to normal icon spacing.
    Why would increasing the font size reduce the spacing? Surely if anything it should increase the spacing. Does anyone have any insight into this?
    Anyway, I'm happy that I've got my normal icon spacing back on my desktop now, I just wish there was some logic to it all.

  • Adjust object spacing

    Is there a way I can adjust the spacing of objects like I can adjust the tracking of text. just a simple slider that adjust the distrobution of them. the objects are all different hights so there isn't anything in the align window that helps me. I'm looking for something that I can say "space 20px apart" or "space 12px apart." and dont have to deal with moving each object individually.

    If you don't already have the Align Panel's options showing, choose "Show options" from the Align Panel menu. That adds the Distribute portion of the panel, where the Distribute Spacing: function lives.
    Select all your objects,  then click on one to make it the "key" object. Doing that enables the Distribute Spacing function. Enter a (distance) value in the Distribute Spacing field, then click the appropriate Distribute button to put the distance you entered into each gap between your objects. You can adjust, but it won't react in a "live" sense, you must re-click the Distribute button each time to make the change.

  • Is there a way to adjust ios7 to show just list of events, not hours?

    Is there a way to adjust the new IOS7 calendar DAY VIEW so you just see the list of events for  the day; so you don't have to scroll down all the hours of day? (want it back the old way!) Can it be adjusted?
    Its really annoying the current way; when you glance at your phone you don't see all the appointments for the day, have to scroll up and down, and I end up missing things and its time consuming. Same annoying thing in WEEKLY VIEW.  Is there a way to change that in preferences or something?
    If not, lets all write in feedback and ask them to change that back!!

  • Is there a way to stop Icon View from putting everything in rows?

    I have a couple computers now with Lion, but I miss part of my old Finder view. Is there a way to stop Icon View from putting everything in rows when I do a "sort by" arrange by? I just want sorted icons, not a row of types.
    For instance - I set to arrange by date created and I have a ROW of "Today" A ROW of "Yesterday" another row of "Previouse 7 days" and another row of "Previous 30 Days." I just want a sorted folder of files in icon view listed by created date. These "Rows" are annoying and a pain in the butt to use!

    that´s the point. you are using the wrong sort option. if you want rows you arrange by the button depicted above. in addition you can select how to sort your files (gear wheel button / secondary click context menu)

  • I have qualitynet either wired internet. I buy a card good for a month at a time, I can only log into one device at any one time.  Are there settings I can adjust on my airport express to allow all my devices to connect to wi-fi without having to log out.

    I have qualitynet either wired internet. I buy a card good for a month at a time, I can only log into one device at any one time.  Are there settings I can adjust on my airport express to allow all my devices to connect to wi-fi without having to log out of one devise before using another?

    Some Internet providers that limit access to a single device at a time do so by the device's hardware MAC address. If your ISP is one of those, you may be able to substitute the MAC address of your AirPort Express base station for the computer. I would suggest that you contact them to find out if this is allowable.

  • Deleting & renaming files - is there a shortcut to finder?

    I am a recent convert from PC to Mac. So far so good. However, one thing starts to drive me up the wall which is deleting/renaming files in programs such as photoshop, word, excel etc.etc.
    As far as I can tell, this is only possible in the finder menu. Is this Correct? I am using a lot of folders and subfolders - sometimes 3-4 levels deep. Every time I need to change/delete a file or filename - lets say while in photoshop, I have to go to finder and click my way through several levels of folders to the actual file I need to change. This is somewhat annoying and timeconsuming.
    Question 1: is there a way to do these operations in - lets say photoshop directly?
    Question 2: If not, is there a shortcut key that would point me automatically to the file in finder where I can make the changes?
    Your input would be very helpful and save me some aggravation.

    Hi Greg,
    Thanks for your input. You are correct as far as "save" and "save as" is concerned. Windows and Mac work the same way.
    However, as far as I can tell, in Mac you can only "delete" or "rename" a file in "finder" which forces you to open up finder and locate the file in order to delete or change it.
    In windows you can do these 2 functions directly in the program (such as photoshop, excel or words). You do not have to go to "explorer or root directory" to make these changes which I believe would be the equivalent of "finder".
    In any case, Terence solved the problem. By command clicking the name (title) of the file in any program, it opens up the directory in "finder". This way makes it easy to select the file and do the changes.
