Magnified windows & menu bar

For some strange reason, all of my windows, icons and menu bars have become magnified! I've tried going through Display & Universal Access in System Preferences and all I've managed to reduce in size is the icons: everything else is way too big on my screen. I tried going to Disk Utility and running Disk First Aid and also restarting the computer, but nothing seems to get things back to normal.
Earlier, I had tried to print a document and for some reason the printer wasn't responding properly. Checked Printing in System Pref. and Epson utilities and nothing seemed to be wrong. Could this have created the problem? Am still using my old printer (an Epson 777) and only needed to download the latest driver several months ago when I activated Classic & installed OS9.
Today I also tried to use an OS9 application in Classic and that too was magnified and the colors in the window that opened were affected (brighter, different shade).
Have had this computer since the summer and this is the first time this has happened. I haven't installed anything recently or done anything out of the ordinary. Please help!!

Elsa,
That's Great! I must have been posting some other advice when you posted as when I went back to view my reply I saw your response.
Glad that that was all that it was.....

Extra Tab on Windows Menu Bar

What is the extra tab on the windows menu bar for? I would like to remove it for LabVIEW programs that I compile, so that when I run the program (or somebody else runs it), there is only one tab for that program. If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know.

You can remove the second tab by adding this line to either the executables ini file
hideRootWindow=true
Here is a KB that discusses the tabs How Can I Hide My LabVIEW VI So It Does Not Show in the Taskbar With My Executable?

The bottom part of my firefox is being covered by my default Windows menu bar.

When it shows (i.e Done above the windows default menu bar) its being covered by the windows default menu bar.

Is the Firefox window too large or off to the bottom of the screen? Try resizing or repositioning the Firefox window. See [[Toolbar keeps resetting]] to restore the default window size/position and toolbar settings if you can't change the Firefox window or position, or if the changes to your Firefox window aren't saved when you next start Firefox.
If you need more help you should ask a new question in the support forum since this question was solved over a year ago and many Firefox support helpers don't look at solved questions. You can use this link as a starting point to ask a new question: https://support.mozilla.com/questions/new

Exist or can you add possibility to place menu bar(all buttons) on the right side of window?

Something like MS Windows menu bar which can be placed on each screen side. On 16:9 screen this will add more space for site and navigation still will be very easy. I wanted attach image with concept but it's not possible here :(.
I'm not sure if I'm writing in correct place but this support system isn't too user friendly :/

You could try using Firefox's Safe Mode to reset your toolbars. Not sure whether this is a toolbar problem, but it's probably worth a try.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, check this article on how to start Firefox in
[https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode] and use the dialog to reset toolbars.
Any luck?

Acrobat Reader window in Windows 7: Menu bar disappears, window cannot be moved or resized.

The problem appeared when Acrobat Reader XI was installed; uninstalling it, and re-installing Acrobat Reader X, didn't solve the problem: Once a document is loaded into the reader, the Windows' menu bar is overwritten by the Reader toolbar; the window then cannot be moved, resized, or closed, and menu items such as "File" and "Edit" are unavailable. This happens only with Acrobat Reader, and only when there is a document being viewed. I suspect something in the Reader XI installation process clobbered a Registry entry, and it has remained clobbered

Please update Kaspersky (KIS 2015) to its latest version 15.0.1.415 and that should fix the issue.

Where's the double click the menu bar to minimize?

In Lion, I can no longer double click a window menu bar to minimize it. I can't find an option in the System Preferences for it. Is it really gone or can I just not find it? Thanks

It doesn't appear in my General preferences either.

Hi, Im developing a Java app that has an horizontal menu bar,which has the option to exit the program . So I want to hide, or get rid of the main window menu bar, the one that has the close, minimize and maximize buttons..is it possible ?
Thanks in advance :)

from java.awt.Frame api
A frame may have its native decorations (i.e. Frame and Titlebar)
turned off with setUndecorated. This can only be done while the

Remove default menu bar

Hi,
I want to remove only the default menu and want to retain the smartbar.Is it possible or any other workarounds available.
Is it possible to remove/hide the window header that appears at the top of each form.I want to increase the form area by eliminating the area occupied by this window header.
Please help me.
thanks and regards

Madhu,
for Forms9i using WebUtil this can be accomplished by the Browser package of WebUtil. You can use it to hide/show the Window menu bar.

Window on mac is stuck under menu bar

window on mac is stuck under menu bar

In case this happens to anyone else (and searching the web, it seems fairly common), the application that was having this problem for me was iTunes. Stuck under the menu bar, no way to move it. I could get it to go full screen, but going back to a window put it in the same stuck position. Quitting and restarting the application didn't help.
Finally found a solution that worked for me (2013 MacBook Air, Mavericks); I usually have an external monitor plugged in when I'm at home, which enabled the following:
I right-clicked the iTunes icon in the Dock, went to "Options" in the popup menu, and selected "Assign to Desktop on Display 2" (which is my Air's built-in screen). I then started the application, and it opened in the middle of the Air screen. After that I could move it anywhere (and I reassigned it to "All Desktops" from Options).
Hope this helps someone...

Java windows slip under menu bar, how to move?

Hi, I have accidently dragged some Java windows beneath the (transparent) menu bar.
Safari browser windows do not slip under the menu bar, but those created by a Java application can slide beneath it, up to the edge of the screen...just far enough to make accessing their title bars impossible. I'm able to resize the Java windows by dragging their accessible edges but I am unable to click on their title bars in order to drag them back down beneath the menu bar.
How can I click upon title bars or resize these windows to lower them in desktop space, so their title bars are lower than the menu bar? I am currently unable to drag or click upon their obscured title bars to move these windows. Is there another way to move windows without clicking upon their title bars?
thanks

apparently there is a third party app called windowsmover or something like that
do a google search for "windows mac os move shortcut keyboard"

Windows slide under Menu Bar

I've noticed recently that I can make application windows slide under the Menu Bar. Some slide under then 'snap' back into view when I release the mouse button holding the window down. Others that don't display the grey bar at the top of the window (like the iTunes mini player for example) don't 'snap' back into view.
Anyone else have this issue or offer a solution? I am running 10.8.5. Thanks.

Why can't I find the menu bar when I open iTunes on my Windows 8 lap top

I have downloaded some music in iTunes on my iPod Touch [version 8.1.2]. I noticed that the iTunes also appears on my Windows 8 laptop and when I sign in the music I purchased appears but I cannot download it because the computer is, "not authorised". My account details show that 3 devices are connected to iTunes. I checked on Google how to authorize a computer and it says: choose store > authorize this computer from the menu bar but I cannot find a menu bar. Can anyone please tell me what to do?

Press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

Safari problem: when I switch back into safari from another application, the menu bar comes up but no tabs or windows. What's going on? Just started yesterday. I have found a workaround: when I Command Tab back to safari, I hit command T to open a new tab and Command W to close it, and my other tabs are visible.
I have tried shutting down, closing tabs, with no success. What's going on and how can I fix it?
Thanks,

PS: I'm not sure of the actual OS level, but I have not allowed it to upgrade to Maverick yet; concerned about it because of a few things I've read...

A Safari extension or third party plugin may be causing the menu bar issue.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
As for which OS X is installed.
Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
The version is noted there.
v10.6 Snow Leopard v10.7 Lion v10.8 Mountain Lion
It's your choice whether or not to upgrade to Mavericks. If you decide to do this, make sure your Mac meets the requirements noted here.
