JavaFX App looks different in windows vs osx

EDIT:
I downloaded the jfx samples and ensemble looks all messed up too. I created a new vm downloaded the latest java 7 with jfx bundled with it. And it too is messed up. Thoughts?
I have been coding my tgFX app on windows until about 3 months ago. I then switched to OSX for my development box. Everything was fine until I recently tried to run it on windows. If you look at the 2 pictures I have link from my flickr account you can see what I am talking about. I am convinced there is something wrong with the updated javafx lib? I even installed 2.2.7 and pointed netbeans at that dir to see if it fixed it. It did not. In scene builder it looks all messed up as well. So I am pretty sure there is something up with javafx. It looks fine on linux and osx just not windows. I am at a loss, what should I try ?

When I launch the application on windows I do get a bunch of warnings from time to time. But even when I do not get these warnings the windows version still looks messed up.

Website looks different on Windows machines

I have made a website using iweb08. I publish using iwebseo on MacHighway. My website consists of columns of information and each column has its own textbox. It looks perfect on my mac when called up on the web. However, when I use a Windows machine almost everything looks out of wack. All of the columns or headings look like they have moved one way or another a couple of spaces, sometimes more. How can I get the information to look the same on both types of machines?
Thank you for your time.

This may or may not help you, but to get around "web safe/unsafe fonts" I make them hyperlinks and just link them to the same page... For example, I create a separate text boxes for the navigation bar rather using the one provided since I find the text bland. I use whatever text I want that is in my library then I make it a hyperlink. Do NOT highlight the word or words when making it a hyperlink. Just select it so that the dotted square is around it.... make it a hyperlink then you can use whatever fonts you like. Then when selecting where it should lead to, select "one of my pages" and make it the same page that you are working on. (hope that makes sense...
And hope that helps.

There are 3rd party apps you can get that can help a bit, but I think the main answer is that if you are using templates and graphic rich features of iWeb, the code it generates is pretty complex, a side effect of making it easy to use. All that code gives wiggle room to different browsers and generations of browsers to reproduce it differently.
My approach is just to keep things as simple as possible, and start with blank pages rather than templates. Because I keep my pages streamlined, they're universally compatible.

Why is it that iTunes looks different from all other apps again?

This might be a rather irrelevant question, yet I wonder: Why is it that iTunes doesn't look like the majority of other Apple apps? I guess it's mainly the scrolls bars and the check boxes. Not that I don't like the way iTunes look, I'm just curious why it has to look different when one of Leopard's goals was to make a more unified interface.
Can anyone enlighten me or is this something that only Apple knows?

"Besides, not all of us run Leapard, so wouldn't making iTunes look like leapard make it look different on all our systems that don't use leapard?"
That's a point But what I meant by that was that in Tiger there are many different kinds of windows where Apple in Leopard has tried to stick to just one. And that's why I think it's so weird that iTunes has to differ from all the rest.

Why did Apple make iTunes 7 look like a Windows XP App.?

Why did Apple make iTunes 7 look like a Windows XP App.? This version of iTunes doesn't even look like it belongs in OSX. It's ugly is about the only way I can put it. I can't figgure out why they removed the EQ icon and didn't even assign a key command for it. Now yoy have to go into the menu to select it. Also I have noticed that it sometimes downloads the wrong artwork for album covers. The old version of iTunes seemed much better and I have reverted back to it untill Apple fixes the problems with version 7 and makes it look like part of the OSX family of applications.

Well I wouldn't say it was ugly but some changes do leave something to be desired.
I certainly aggree about the equaliser button and the visualiser button has gone too but at least they assigned a key command for it. The scrollbars need more colour and I'd prefer the buttons at the bottom to stand out a bit more like the ones at the top.
I see no reason to go back to iT6 though, especially as I would misss Cover Flow. You could have a long wait for a change of interface and in the meantime you miss out on the good parts of iT7. If your track information is correct and identical to that on the Store then it shouldn't get the wrong artwork. Luckily I already had most of my album covers in place from other sources such as Amazon and just used iTunes to get a few more. My only complaint about the Get Album Artwork feature is that it's getting it from the US store when I want it from the UK store.
Anyway these forums are really here to enable users to help each other solve problems and not to discuss Apple's decisions. If there are things you want changing then do what I and others do and send constructive criticisms and requests via the link below, if you haven't already.

PDFs look different in Adobe reader and Acrobat professional compared to the built in PDF viewer on windows 8

Hi there,
I have been trying to narrow down an issue we have been having for some time in printing PDF files and finding that they look different on paper compared to screen. Up until today our big KIP plotter got the blame, but as I have been collecting notes on a little windows 8 tablet I noted that PDFs opened in the windows PDF viewer have the same visual defects as the printouts. My example today is that on a CAD drawing there is a small box/frame with a number in their, I tried printing and the frame was completely blacked out. As a test I tried saving the PDF as a TIFF file from Adobe Acrobat professional and this file had the same fault as the printed copy. When I open it in the windows 8 pdf viewer I can see that there is a shading within this box that does not show on Adobe Reader (latest version 11.0.10.32), the adobe reader and acrobat pro version both show a white background to the box. We have been having lots of issues with sections being missing from drawings and overly feint lines.
I am not sure where to start trying to narrow down why we are getting different results in different PDF readers. Is there anyone who maybe able to point me in the right direction? It almost feels like the shading or colour density is not being consistent when PDFs are being opened in different packages.
Thanks in advance
Andy

Some PDF viewers comply with the PDF ISO Standard (ISO 32000) "just enough" while others (such as Adobe's) fully comply.
As with anything there's a cost to using anything that comes from a "just enough" approach.

Lightroom Image Looks Different than in Windows Viewer/CS5/etc.

I've seen this discussed elsewhere, but I believe the nature of my issue may be a bit different, so please excuse the repeat inquiry.
I'm currently using Lightroom 3 on a 17' Samsung Syncmaster 920NW on two different desktops. The hardware configuration for each machine is also identical, with only a few minor exceptions. However, the images on one machine display drastically differently in Lightroom, as opposed to any other Windows application. I've updated the video drivers for both computers, reinstalled the monitor drivers for both, and have uninstalled/reinstalled Lightroom on both with no success in remedying the discrepancy.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated in finding a solution to this issue. It's very frustrating to be anchored down to one desktop due to the inconsistencies of the other.
Thanks!

You need to calibrate both monitors to identical settings, the luminance value being very important, using an appropriate calibration tool and software.
Spyder Elite software has a specific settings too enable you to match monitors across machines in a studio setting, or from a desk top to a laptop. Without calibration images in viewed in colour managed applications will always look different. If you do not wish to colour manage you can always set a colour space such as sRGB as a monitor profile on all the machines, the only difference you will see then will be down to the luminance value of the monitor. However this will mean images viewed on other peoples screens may differ markedly from your own. The real solution to colour problems is to use colour management and this means calibration of your monitor as a basic requirement.

HT1848 My itunes windows look different. Where is the new version support? Anyone?

How do I transfer purchases from my ipod touch in the new version of itunes? Support I can find looks different from the itunes pages I see.

You can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC. To transfer purchases from the iPod you can then either right-click the iPod device on that sidebar and select 'transfer purchases', or do it via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases (on a PC doing alt-F should open the File drop-down menu).

Distributing multiple versions of an app within a single Windows Store app

The company I work for creates Point Of Sale (POS) software using Software As A Service (SAAS), so we host our clients' databases. We do not force all of our clients to all be on the same version of our software; i.e. some clients are on version 3,
others v4, others v5, etc. As you would expect, the database schema for each of these versions is different, so each of these clients also use a different version of our client-side app.
We are looking at making a Windows Store app that acts as a light-weight POS app that clients can use to sell their products. The problem is, we will require having multiple versions of our Windows Store app in production; the version of the app that
the client uses must correspond to their database version. We were initially hoping to have our Windows Store app detect which version of the app the client should be using, and then automatically update itself to the correct version, but
were told on this post that it violates the Windows Store certification criteria, so that's not an option.
It has been suggested that we put multiple apps into the Store; one for each version of our software. We really don't want to do this though, as when we upgrade a client's database from one version to the next it would require that they uninstall their current
app and install the newer versions app, causing them to lose all of their custom settings. We would like the updates to remain as transparent to the end users as possible; the store clerk shouldn't need to worry about which version their database is on so
they know which app to download from the Store.
As a possible workaround, is it ok for us to package all 3 versions of our app into a single Windows Store app, and then just have the app check at runtime which version it should run? I assume that this is alright, since we will not be downloading
any other code or installing any software/apps, as was the case with our original solution that violates the certification criteria. Essentially we would just have 3 different classes and determine at run-time which classes code we should run.
I know that this solution isn't ideal, as it means our app will be 3 times larger than it needs to be, and that an update to any one of the 3 versions of our software will require an update to the Store app (so potentially users may download a new version
of the Store app, even though it doesn't have any changes for the particular code version (i.e. class) that they will use), but it's one of the best alternatives we have come up with. I just want to check that this solution doesn't also violate any certification
criteria before we go down this road.
If this is not allowed then our only other alternative might be to go with sideloading (as
I discuss on this thread) and avoid using the Windows Store all together, but we would prefer to use the Store if possible as it eliminates a lot of overhead that we would have to deal with if we use sideloading.
Any insights or suggestions that you can give are appreciated. Thanks!

Hey Mr_bigworlds, thanks for the reply. The moderator on this post actually told me that this
would be a better forum for my inquiries. I agree that there may be another forum better suited for this question (there are so many that I don't know about), but since this relates to Windows Store certification criteria, I don't think the Windows Desktop
Development forums are the place for it.

Opening App in own new Window - Opinions please

Dear Community!
I would like to invite you to share your opinions on this idea - foremost in terms of user experience, but also technical implementation:
Like anybody I always have a number of browser-tabs open, but as an apex user (not developer) I probably have only one apex-app running. So my ideea was, to give the user a stronger experience of working with an Application rather than a website, and therefore open the app in a new window.
Once in a new window all apex functionalities, navigation etc. work as usual. Only the user can concentrate more on the content and is not distracted by all the other browserstuff around. (After all it's not just "some web site"... ) Also he has full independent controll over the window.
I have build this in a test scenario and invite you to try everything out.
With a cookie-controlled checkbox the user can determine, wether he wants it in the first place or not. (Then once allow popups for this site.)
Now it gets weird:
I want deeplinking to be possible, so the functionality for the opening process in contained in the page template.
Also I want, when the user accidentally or willingly returns to the initial browser, and the new window comes out of sight, there should be a button to bring that window back to the front.
For that, javascript has to store the window object on the page, that opened the new one, so it should stay active. But since to user "doesn't want to use" that "old" window in the browser tab, I have created an overlay region, to cover that entire page up - on the condition, that a new window is beeing opened. Just be feeling this is probably a pretty weird solution, but its working so far (see example above).
Javascript on every page::
var newwindow;
$(function(){
// when app-page is opened the first time, open new window. after that P0OPEN will be empty:
if ($v('P0OPEN') === 'Y') {
    var href = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:&APP_PAGE_ID.:&APP_SESSION.::::P0OPEN:',
        winw= window.innerWidth, winh = window.innerHeight;
    // cosmetics for positioning etc.
    var options = 'scrollbars=yes, width='+(winw*.8)+', height='+(winh*.8)+', top='+(winh*.1)+', left='+(winw*.1)
    newwindow = window.open(href, '_blank', options);
    // the button to bring the new window back to the front:
    $('#P0BTNFOCUSW').click(function(){
       if (newwindow && !newwindow.closed) {
           setTimeout(function(){ newwindow.focus(); },100) ;
       } else {
           // if window was closed, start new session:
           window.redirect('&LOGOUT_URL.');
Maybe its better to have an extra page just for that purpose, but how can I combine that with deeplinking AND the necessity to store the javascript-window-object?
Another problem unsolved is, that when the user logs out in the new window, that should certailnly disapear. Also, in that case: the window open in the initial tab should change too, that is: redirect to the login screen.
And probably there are a few more things to be considered...
So I will be very glad to hear all your oppinions and suggestions of any kind.
Thanks and greetings,
Tobi
(omg!! how can you get the formating for code??) (ok, thanks...)

Well, nothing wrong with trying and experimenting of course! It'd be interesting to have things react a bit more as a desktop app, but there is not really enough power to do so and that is mostly because of security reasons. Just like the popupblocker. Personally I'd rather not have to tell anyone to fiddle with a (any!) popupblocker. I think you can have a good looking 'app' without it though, and design (or, UI) helps a lot in that regard. I don't mean to place Google on a pedestal here, but I like the simplicity of the browser splashscreen for example. "Here are your app links. Want to open one? Cool, right away!". Want multiple? No issue, hold ctrl and click away. That's just plain basic browser usage and it leaves me the option. They could've also placed the target=blank tag in their anchors, but they didn't. And that's fine.
I wouldn't necessarily make it more complex than that though - like with auto-popup screens after a login, screening of a window from interaction, dealing with deeplinks.
I've seen some nice "app"-approaches for apex. I think the coolest are where there is a master app, with icons which open up the other applications. The authentication cookie is shared, the authentication scheme is subscription based. You can deeplink apps but if you don't have a deeplink you go to the splashscreen.
If you deeplinked then you meant to go there, and not first the splash which pops up something else. If you want to go there then there is a button in each app which will open up the splash app (and if you add target blank in there, in a new window).
I'd say there is a lot of room for innovation, and anything web is possible. But be careful with those things like popupblockers
And It's just one opinion of course. I'm sure there are wildly differing ones out there. (Who don't react) You could always try some more UX-UI oriented forums for some feedback in this regard!

My website looks different in internet explorer.

Greetings and thanks in advance for great service that we provide
I created a website in iweb www.webworldpr.com in Firefox looks good in Internet Explorer looks different. I can do. I would like to know is web site maestro can solve this problem.

The iWeb for Musicians website is optimized with Web SIte Maestro and appears to work OK in IE 7 & 8. If I look at it using Safari User Agent the background image drops out etc.
The latest version of WebCrusher has this....
"iWeb websites are known for their incompatibility with Internet Explorer. We tested hundreds of iWeb sites and came up with a step by step guide to making your iWeb site work with Internet Explorerand built this functionality into WebCrusher."
I do have WebCrusher but I haven't tested this feature as I don't have a PC running WIndows anymore.
The only way I can think that I could help you out here is if you send me a copy of a Domain file or the folder of published files and I'll run it through the app to see if it fixes your problem before you have to think about buying it.

How can i have different applications windows side by side

Hi,
For some reason whenever i'm using an application, lets say Chrome, only the windows of chrome would show on the screen. If I want to move to some other app like terminal, the windows of chrome would dissappear and only the windows of terminal would shop up, so basicially I can't multi task between different applications windows...
What's the deal?
How can I fix this?
using macbook pro late 2008, OSX Lion 10.7.3

im surfing on chrome and have a word document open. Lets say i want to put the chrome windows next to the word window, I simply cant do that because it only shows me the windows of the app im on. Only chrome, only word etc.
Furthermore If Im on chrome and trying to move to some other open apps using mission control, it would only show me that chrome is open!
