[LXDE] change size title bars?

Hello everybody,
i use an acer aspire one a110 with arch and lxde almost every day and i am really satisfied with it. But because every pixel count on such a screen if you're programming, editing xml files... i was wondering if I can change the size/height of the title bar of each window.
Thanks in advance.

That depends on the openbox theme. Openbox is the window manager used by lxde.

Cannot change Compiz title bar on MATE Appearance

I've tried a lot of searching but I just can't find a solution...
I have MATE/GNOME 2 and Compiz worked pretty well on it.
However I can't seem to get GTK to change the title bar on any theme, and if Compiz is disabled, I get no title bar.
I even changed the window title font to show the problem.
I've tried reinstalling Compiz, the GTK decorator, changing to different themes, but nothing works.
Edit: gconftool-2 --set --type string /apps/metacity/general/theme "Theme"
changes the title bar, apparently

I think you are talking about the all-day event space at the top of each day. this is where all-day events are located, and unfortunately you cannot resize that space manually, it resizes itself automatically depending on the number of all-day events created, and yes the only way to view the text is to double click on that event.
however, when you publish a calendar you are given the option to publish titles and notes, check that option, then publish your calendar. The user viewing your published calendar will be able to click on that all-day event and view the entire title and/or notes associated with that event in a pop up window.
hope this helps

No option to change Window Title Bar Font in gnome-tweak-tool

Hey there,
did a fresh install today on a Haswell-PC. But there's no option to change Window Title Bar Font in gnome-tweak-tool anymore? All the other options are there.
Is there a way to set the Window Title Bar Font elsewhere? Does someone know why this option was removed or is it due to my system somehow? I also don't see this option in the dconf-editor.
Gnome 3.8, all the latest updates, Intel Core i5 with Intel HD 4600 Graphics
Thanks,
oSIRus

Working with a projector file. How can center it, not allow scaling and change the title bar?

I've tried using:
import flash.system.fscommand;
fscommand("allowscale", "false");
fscommand("showmenu", "false");
fscommand("fullscreen", "false");
on frame 1, but they don't seem to work. I'm going to be putting this project on a CD and the client wants to make sure it will open centered on the user's screen, which has not been the case so far. It seems to open at different spots on different computers.
They also want the title bar changed from "Adobe Flash Player 10" to their own title.
Thanks in advance for the help.

You can use: stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE; As for the title bar change, you can change the title bar string using Resource Hacker. But i am not sure if that is legal. You will find the strings under the strings table.
What did you mean by, "You will find the strings under the strings table."? Were you talking about Resource Hacker?

How to change the title bar wdith , scroll bar widths in tune with a 7" screen

can you please help me customize my user chrome section so that I can REDUCE the WIDTH of the scroll bar ( horizontal and vertical ) . That is , at max the scroll bar can be ___ pixels of __ % of total width. ( prefer the relative reference )
Also the title bar ( that black surrounding area that bears the minimize, maximize,close buttons ) needs its width reduced to half of what it is now. How do I do this ?

No. That doesn't work any more. In current Firefox versions native scroll bars are used and you can't do style those via userChrome.css (user interface; chrome windows) and userContent.css (websites). You can try a large theme if you do not want to make the changes via the Control Panel

How can I change the color of a title bar?

Ok, I have been looking for this answer for over a week now and nobody
has yet given me an answer that works. So I am going to ask again.
Here is a piece of code you can run to see what I am trying to do:
public class RemoteDisplayFrame extends JFrame {
public static final Color GRAY70 = new Color(179, 179, 179);
public RemoteDisplayFrame() {
super();
public RemoteDisplayFrame(String title) {
super(title);
public void setBorderContent() {
this.setUndecorated(true);
JRootPane rootPane = this.getRootPane();
rootPane.setWindowDecorationStyle( JRootPane.PLAIN_DIALOG );
this.setRootPane( rootPane );
public static void main( String [] args ) {
RemoteDisplayFrame frame = new RemoteDisplayFrame( "Test Frame" );
frame.setBorderContent();
frame.pack();
frame.show();
Run this code and you should get a frame on your screen that has no
close buttons, minimize buttons, or maximize buttons, and no menu.
I want to change the title bar's color to a specific color.
That color is GRAY70:
public static final Color GRAY70 = new Color(179, 179, 179);
If you have any idea on how to do this please do tell.

AFAIK, you can't. I believe the title bar is rendered by the operating system, using the colors the user has chosen, consistently for all windows. Frankly, if your app could, it would annoy me, as I would still want all my windows to look consistent.

Openbox theme only changes title bar?

Hi! Couldn't find any answer on wiki or google. I don't know if I understand this right, but I installed openbox theme, selected it in configuration but the only thing that changed is title bar, and right click menu. Programs like thunar or leafpad still have gray interface with nice >Link to theme <. I'm guessing that installing theme and selecting it isn't all to it. So what is it?

Yes, you have to install the openbox theme to have the nice titlebar, but the gtk theme is the one that sets the "look"

Here is the gtk theme.

ITunes 9: "M:\" in the Title Bar

Before upgrading to iTunes 9, the title bar on the main iTunes simply said, "iTunes". However, after upgrading to iTunes 9, the title bar text has something different: "M:\"
I keep my iTunes library (and the associated database files) on a partition of an external hard drive, to which I assigned the drive letter M. (M = "music," get it?) Anyway, I just find it strange that the main iTunes window says "M:\". It would be totally confusing if you also had an Explorer window open to the M drive (the title bar of which would also show "M:\"). Is there any way to change the title bar back to showing "iTunes" before this "M:\" problem drives me crazy?

This looks like an intended new feature of iTunes 9.
The title shows the name of the folder containing your iTunes library. Presumably it is intedned to help people who use iTunes with different libraries to see which library they are currently using.
If you don't like the feature, you need to use the feedback option on the iTunes help menu.
I would guess that you can fix this if you don't like it by closing iTunes and then renaming the folder containing your library to iTunes. Then do a shift key start to tell iTunes the new location of the library.
Hold down the shift key and start iTunes,. keep holding the shift key until your are promoted to choose a library. Navigate to you newly named iTunes folder and choose iTunes library.itl.

Use an image for the Accordion Title bar

I have dowloaded the Muse 7.1 beta and I like what I have see so far. I do not have the option to change the title bar for the accordian panel to an image or make use of transparency like I seen in the video tutorial. I also have not figured out how to work the menu bar. Having said that I can see this replacing DreamWeaver for some of my clients needs. I can only image how powerfull this program will be in another 18 months from now.

Hey,
Have a look at the following screenshot: http://bc03.co.cc/Cristi/MuseCustom_001.png
After inserting the accordion from Object > Insert Panel > Accordion, select the first element and under the Fill panel you have the option to customize the image or transparency. Also double clicking on the name of the item will allow you to simply change his name. Regarding the menu bar, give us more details and we'll work it out. (If you don't see the Fill panel go to Window menu and click on Fill menu item.)
Cheers!

Changehe title bar

I want to change the title bar of my application in other language(Russian/Cyrillic) which is developed using SWING. I used the resource bundle to change it but i am getting '?' instead of the Cyrillic

You can enter text of any language in any swing component if you use unicode. (goto http://www.unicode.org for getting a list of Russian or other character). Eg -
     String frameHeading="\u0905";
     // \u0905 is character in hindi
     //The character there is not a Russian one but you'll get the      //idea.
     JFrame fr=new JFrame(frameHeading);
     fr.setVisible(true);

Problem with title bar icons to change window size

i am running v 2.6 on vista 64 bit with a dual core processor. the window opens full screen on my Eizo 24" monitor set at 1900x1200 but there are no choices in the top right of my menu bar to shrink, move the window. i therefore cannot shrink the window or move it to my second monitor. if i right click on the lightoom icon in the taqsk bar, there are no choices to move, size, minimize,etc. other applications including photoshop work fine with easy control of window size so i do not think it is my system or graphics card. contol-Q does not close the program and the only way i can do so is from the file menu.
help please.

Jerome,
Hit 'F' enough times to get the title bar back.

Change the background color of a title bar

I'd like to know if it's possible to change the background color of a swing application title bar.
Thanks in advance.

In Windows I think you can change the overall look of the desktop - Standard Windows comes with a bluish scheme, but you can change that, say to something like greenish. On NT you do it using right click on desktop > Properties > Apperance > Scheme etc etc.
So I think Frame title colour is very much a OS specified thing.

@Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!
