Keep Pallets On Top in CS4

I've been working to save my CS4 layout so my panels are repositioned as they were in CS3 (which was a better layout in my opinion).
However, I can't keep the panels on top of my foreground image I'm working. In CS3, when you would move the window of the image your were working on, it would always slide UNDER the panels. Now, in CS4 it's always on top. This makes it vary difficult to grab new tools and edit content in layers when the image your working on is blocking your pallets. I'm constantly having to drag things around.
Is there any way to configured CS4 to keep all the panels on top, Ala how Windows XP keeps the taskbar on top of all other windows?
Thanks!

Several things come to mind:
1. Use Tabbed view. Yes, I understand that people who are used to the old Photoshop greatly prefer windowed view, but try using the Tabbed view instead for a few weeks. It solves the problem you're describing and it actually can grow on you. I know; I was a die-hard windowed view fan and I finally converted, and lo and behold I now like tabbed view a lot. It just seems to work better.
2. Drag the panels out of their docked position so they're floating. Then they will stay on top of the image edges. If you have only one monitor, you might consider running Photoshop as "restored" (i.e., windowed and not full screen), and narrowing the main window - so the panels are out over the desktop. This is similar to what people with multiple monitors often do.
Hope these suggestions give you some ideas to try.

Pallets On Top

In CS4 the image covers pallets I wish to use. I need to either move the image or make it smaller to get to the pallets that are open.
Is there any way to have the pallets on top of the image? I am thinking that this is a change from CS3, as I do not remember this annoying behavior.
Thanks -

Right, I understand that. However, I am not able to find any option, preference, a=or anything else that will allow me to have the palettes on top of the image. Perhaps this is something that is not configurable in CS4, which would be a real blow, as it makes things (for me) much more difficult to use.

I have my image window floating not tabbed
If I open a panel, from an icon or from the Window menu it sits on top of the image window.
It can be dragged around at will!

HT2509 Despite what this article states, Apple support told me not to try to remove any fonts as it could cause other possibly serious problems. Is there a program which can be safely installed which will keep at the top of the font list those fonts whic

An article in the New York Times yesterday told how to remove unwanted fonts from the Font Book. I followed its instructions (the same as those on the webpage "support.apple.com/kb/ht2509") and was NOT successful in removing fonts. Despite what the newspaper article and the web page stated, my attempts to remove fonts were unsuccessful. I use perhaps 15-20 of the hundreds and hundreds of fonts, and deleting those I don't use would make choosing a font a lot faster. I called support and was told not to try to remove any fonts which I myself had not added to the list(I have not added any) as doing so could cause significant problems elsewhere. The support tech suggested that there might be independent software programs which would keep at the top of the list those fonts I have used, which sure would speed up the process of selecting a font. Anyone know of such a program, or how to safely alter the font list Thanks.

I just spoke again to tech support and this time an answer was provided that works! Choose the font you want to use, drag it to the left, and a new "unnamed" folder will appear. Continue to drag into that folder fonts you want to use. You can click onto that folder to change its name. Then when using font book merely click on that folder to open it and select the font wanted. This tech rep also confirmed that you should NOT try to delete individual fonts as they are part of the basic operating system; he did confirm that the apple web page in parentheses above says otherwise, and will refer that to higher ups to see about removing or modifying that page.

Installing CS5 on top of CS4

I've just installed a CS5 upgrade on top of CS4 which itself was an upgrade on top of a full CS2
I'm planning now on un-installing the "2" and "4" to just leave the "5" in situ
Is there any technical reason for leaving them in situ
Any answerrs will be gratefully received
Many thanks

Photoshop does not install "on top of" its predecessors, but along side. As you have seen, they can all coexist, though you can only run one at a time.
That said, the uninstaller for older versions of Photoshop chances undoing some of the file associations that the later installer has set up.
For this reason, most people advise just leaving them in situ, if you're not hurting for disk space.
And who knows, you may find something you think isn't working the way you expect, then want to close Photoshop and go back and open the old version just to see how you had it set up.

How to keep screen on top of others

Hi there,
I'm not sure if this is posted already. If it is I apologise.
I have a question which is to do with keeping one screen on top. By this I mean that I would like to watch a movie (keeping this on top)
and at the same time I would like to maybe do my work, play another game or something that is multi-tasking.
I can't stagger the windows around the screen because the screen sizes are locked... so is it possible if I can keep one screen locked on top of another? instead of staggering them around the screen?
I hope my questions is easy to understand. I'm not usually good with technical terminology. Thank you in advance!
Kind Regards
Anthony Reid

How can I stick an accordion navigation MENU on top of a mobile scrolling page and make it work properly?
As I can't pin it, I keep it on top of the page with scroll effect 0.
It collapse, shows the menu buttons but doesn't close back once it reaches the anchorpoint.

Muse won't let you, at least not that I know of. You could find the class in the code that muse gives it position: fixed…I think. You could paste it into the head area of your page properties to override the class. I believe something like this would give you persistent nav bar, pinned at the very top, on mobile:
#youmuseclass {position: fixed;}
I wouldn't use any parallax on mobile either, the performance is terrible.

Keep QT on top

Is it possible to keep QuickTime on top of other windows at all times?

You can turn off a preference in FCP's user prefs, to bring all windows to front on activation. That way only the windows you click on come in front of the DVD player.
But probably a better way to handle the problem is to use the tab+apple key to bounce back and forth between the two apps. Try that...
My book will work just fine in FCP 5, comes with a ton of media to work with, and will hone your skills I think.
Also Apple's Pro Training series is much the same, and are written well. I'm working now on a training DVD...

Bridge keeps trying to open photoshop cs4 and not cc2014

I uninstalled my old Photoshop CS4 after CC 2014 was installed and bridge keeps looking for it. I cannot find the setting in ACR or Bridge to tell it where the CC 2014 executable is, instead. Am on a Windows 7 PC.

It could also be your file associations in bridge cc are set to photoshop cs2.

GPU enhancements message keeps popping up and Photoshop CS4 keeps crashing.

When I start Photoshop, I get the message, "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video adapter manufacturer's website for the latest software. GPU enhancements can be enabled in the Performance panel of Preferences."
I have updated everything but this message still pops up everytime I open Photoshop CS4. Not only that, I tried to enable the GPU enhancements via Preferences but my Photoshop keeps crashing every time I try to click or do anything.
Hope someone out there knows whats wrong! Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Welcome to the forum.
Just for clarification, did you download and install the video driver from the mfgr's. Web site, such as nVidia, or AMD/ATI?
The reason that I ask that, is because too often, people will let their OS tell them, if they have the latest driver. That info is usually at least 6 mos. out of date - always go to the "source," plug in your card/chip and your OS, and if there is a newer driver, download and install that.
Note: there have been a few threads on problems with newer AMD/ATI drivers, so if you have one of their cards/chips, you might want to check out some of the threads on those.
Good luck,
Hunt

Application to pin/keep windows on top?

Does anyone know an app that will keep/pin one (or multiple) window on top of currently open windows? Afloat doesn't seem to work for many apps, and quite often I need to have few different chat windows going while working on something else in full screen. I can't freaking believe something like this is so difficult to find in OS X world!
Thanks!

No one knows of such beast?

Keep window on top

There used to be a plugin called Afloat that woulkd let you keep a window on top of the others but I can't get it work in 10.10 Yosemite. Is there a new version or another similar program?

Not in QT Player, but here's a nifty trick using Stickies:
Launch Applications/Stickies, create a new note, then with that note active, select "Note > Floating Window".
Now locate the QT mov you wish to view and drag/drop it on the floating Sticky note. Stickies will ask you if you want to Copy or Alias the mov- select "Alias". This will create a pointer to the original mov (smaller) instead of copying it holus bolus into the sticky. Note if you move the original mov file, you'll break the alias.
Back in the sticky, drag the grab handle in the bottom right-hand corner to resize the note so you can see all the mov and the controller bar. For some reason, Stickies will scale a mov to fit a note on the X plane (horizontal) but not the Y plane (vertical) until it's at 100% size. It won't scale up from 100%.
If the floating sticky mov is too big at 100% for your display size, there are 2 possible workarounds:
a) In Stickies, make the mov note active and select "Note > Translucent Window". This will make the note (and the mov) "see through" so you can see other stuff underneath it, even while the mov plays, or;
b) If you have a QT Pro Key, open the mov in QT Player before you drag/drop into Stickies, set it to view at half size (or whatever) then "File > Save As" allowing dependencies. This will create a small reference mov that points to the original, maintaining the smaller viewing size (again, if you move the original, you'll break the reference). Now drag/drop that reference mov into the Sticky note as above and the mov will display at the smaller size.
Hope that all makes sense. No clue how you'd do something similar on Windows.

Keep app on top other applications

Hi friends, I need to provide an option in my JavaFx application to "keep the player on top" so it remains available on the screen even if you click on another application window. Any idea?

Keep application on top

Does anyone know how to keep a Java application always on top in a window environment ? And also how to add the application to window toolbar at the bottom of the screen ?
Thanks

Outside of Java - for any app - you can do this: http://www.lovemusiclovedance.com/alwaysontop.htm
I've heard of some Pure java method calls involving a series of calls - not sure what they are - perhaps something like what is described at: http://home-1.tiscali.nl/~bmc88/java/sbook/0115.html

How to keep SCROLLING AT TOP

I have a JScrollPane in which I put JTextArea and it goes always
to the end. How can I keep scrolling at the top of the pane?
Thanks alot
Tamer

Use the "setCaretPosition(int)" method of JTextArea and set it to 0.

Web page keeps jumping to top when scrolling down.

When I scroll down a web page on my Macbook Air with 2 fingers, it keeps jumping up to the top again. This started yesterday, did not happen before.
Also, a rectangle of various sizes has started to appear on the page and this is most annoying.
Any help to rectify this would be appreciated.

Hi ottodv,
I was not able to reproduce this issue on my Flame device running v2.1.
This may be an issue specific to Geeksphone's build of Firefox OS. Are you able to reproduce this issue with other versions of Firefox OS?
