Make Text and Other Items Larger or Smaller - Default? (related to screen resolution)

In Windows 7, when you go to set the screen resolution, there is a link to "Make Text and Other Items Larger or Smaller." The default I've always seen is is "Smaller - 100%" in our deployments. For some reason, after my new deployment that
I'm working on, it is set to "Medium - 125% as the default."
This changed when I imported the display drivers needed for the HP8440 laptop the deployment is going on. Before, Windows was just using a generic driver that maxed at 640x480 and the user had to manually install the drivers. Now that I've imported the drivers
into the deployment, the default resolution is 1920x1200 as it should be, but this one last default is making it look like there is a smaller resolution.
Is there any way, in the deployment, to set this option to "Smaller - 100%" as the default?
This is what I am seeing after Windows loads for the first time:

I get "Invalid syntax" when I try to run that. I've gone through the help on the REG command, and everything seems to be in order. I also opened CMD as administrator. I've tried some different variations on the command (quotes around the path, etc)
but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?
You're getting an invalid syntax since it contains a space betweeen 'Windows' and 'NT' when using command lines, spaces will break the commands to be executed since it thinks that spaces are delimiters for syntax value's.
REG ADD "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontDPI" /v LogPixels /t REG_DWORD /d 0x60 /f
Edit; The thread starter had success with using the following path instead "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop"
It should work like it's written above using quotes around the entire path. Without the quotes you'll receive a syntax error. However unless the command is executed in an elevated command prompt you'll get an access is denied error. And finally the /f switch
is required to override the entry without prompt, since if the command if executed in an elevated command prompt it will detect the current value and ask whether you want to overwrite it or not.
P.S. I verified if it executes properly.
Kind regards,
Stephan Schwarz.

After Effects & Premiere Pro CS4 users: Turn off "Make text and other items larger or smaller" (Win)

I just made a brief blog post recommending that After Effects CS4 and Premiere Pro CS4 users turn off the "Make text and other items larger or smaller" setting in Windows 7, since it causes some problems.
Please use this thread to let us know whether this solved a problem for you or whether there are any problems with this solution.

There isn't really an option to "turn off" the feature. Do you mean to say that it should be set to "Smaller - 100% (default)"?

Report RDLC print deployment influenced by "Make text and others items window larger or smaller" is that behaviors right?

I have my PC at the window "Make text and others items window larger or smaller" set at the 150%.
How great was my surprise when I found that this setting of my PC broke my RDLC report print deployment.
Do you now about this mistakes?
Is that behavior of "Windows 8" right?
Or is that behavior of "vs 2013" right?

Hello,
Since this issue is mainly related to visual studio report, I am moving this thread to
Other Forums > Visual Studio Report Controls
forum to get help.
And IMO I would agree with you that it should be the right behavior, since it could affect the other printing tasks.

Displaying buttons and other items in french instead of english

Hi,
I am new to APEX., which I find incredibly easy to use. Anyway, I am french (nobody is perfect!) and I would like the texts inside the buttons (like 'Create', 'Reset') and in the other part of the aplication ('Edit') to appear in french. BUT with APEX development sutdio remaining in english. I have read the documentation but I did not understood if there is a procedure to generate the buttons and other items in french instead of english.
Could you help me ?
Thank you very much !
Christian

Hello,
>> Where can I find it ?
I’m afraid you are looking at the wrong place. You are going to the shared components whilst you should go to the page where the button id defined. In the “Page Rendering” column there’s a section called “Buttons”. Choose the button you want to edit, and there you’ll find it - http://i31.tinypic.com/25sv6t3.png . As you can see from the gif, the button name and the button label don’t have to be the same.

Arie.

Sometimes domestic text and other times M2M, why?

I was considering going to a lower priced plan so I was looking over my text message usage to see if I can drop down a tier.
I noticed that the same number being text/picture messaged is sometimes shown as "domestic text" and other times "M2M". This IS a Verizon number and its not just happening to one, but to multiple Verizon numbers I text.
I don't know if this is just a coincidence but when its shown as M2M it tends to be in the evening, and when its shown as domestic it tends to be in the day.
Does whether or not it gets charged as one thing or the other depend on the time of day of the usage?

Thank you for the great information SuzyQ!
Please keep in mind that messages sent/received to/from any Verizon Wireless number are always M2M regardless of how the number is displayed on your bill, and if your text message package includes Unlimited M2M you will not be billed for M2M messages. Please note that our $5.00 message package does not include M2M feature and each message counts towards the 250 message allowance (including M2M messages). You can change your text message package online if you login to your My Verizon account or we can change it for you if you dial *611 on your mobile phone to contact our Customer Service department.

Some websites have very small test and others too large.

When I'm browsing at different websites. Some have the text really small and others have it too big. How can I make every website use the same (my choice) font and size. I've changed the font and size of the fonts in "Preferences-Appearance" and they only change a couple sites. All the others are too big or too small.

OlsonBW,
Setting how pages are displayed explains what you can and cannot do regarding the display of text in web pages...You can specify how pages appear when they open in Safari, including which fonts are used, whether or not to display images, and whether to use your own Cascading Style Sheet (CSS).
Many webpages specify their own fonts. Your font settings affect only pages that do not specify fonts. Webpages may specify style sheets that override your style sheet...;~)

Make text and icons in address bar, tool palet etc. bigger in photoshop workspace?

Hi.
Im new to Photoshop so this is a fundamental question. My eyes arn't that great and I find the icons and text in the photoshop workspace very small. I'm sure when I become familiar with them this will be no problem but in the learning phase I find it difficult. I have watched many Utube tutorial videos and notice they have much larger Icons and text (on the actual application itself, not the work pane) and this makes it much easier.
I remember actually doing this myself but that was several weeks ago, I remember thinking, "I should remember this," but of course I've forgotten and it's frustrating the hell out of me.
I'm sure it would take me hours to find again by myself and would appreciate it if someone could tell me in a few minutes.
Thanks.

There are many elements of the Photoshop UI that are of a fixed size.
One way to make everything larger is to lower the pixel count for your desktop. If your monitor is capable of resampling (most modern ones are), everything will be shown larger, as the smaller number of pixels are upsampled to fit the whole display.
HOWEVER, running a resolution that's different from the "native" or "preferred" pixel count of your display (assuming it's an LCD) will pretty much ensure that nothing will be as sharp as it could be.

The latest Firefox version won't expand to make text and images more visible on my 32" screen, although I have tried to adjust the advanced Windows appearance settings in the same way that has worked in previous versions of Firefox.

Normally I have had to go to Control Panel; Appearances and Themes; Display; Settings; Advanced; Custom; and then I adjust the Customize Setting to 155% (149 dpi). I have hit on this setting through trial and error; larger and icons like the cursor get big and fuzzy. Smaller than 155% and text and images are tiny on the 32" wide screen. This time that procedure doesn't seem to work. The text and images remain too small regardless of setting, although the cursor icon gets big. I can manually zoom the pages, but that is clumsy and has to be redone. Does anyone know of an easy setting fix? I am not too smart about this stuff--mostly trial and error, but I do want to be able to enjoy my wide screen. Thanks!

Oracle Text and Custom item type

I have a custom item type defined that has custom attributes. With Oracle Text disabled, I can use a custom search to find these items either by their standard attributes (name,description, etc.) or their custom attributes. However, as soon as I enable Oracle Text (and allow the indexing process to complete), I can no longer locate these items in a search.
I assume that I need to do something to tell Oracle Text to index these types of items, but could not find anything in documentation. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Also, assuming we get around the above issue, if I have Oracle Text enabled, does this mean I will not be able to find these items after they are created until the next scheduled index update? Is there away around this besides killing Oracle Text?
Rgds/Mark M.
Portal 9.0.2.6

The indexes need to be synchronised for the items to be searched and returned. Hence until the next scheduled index update, the item will not be returned. To explicitly udpate the indexes, run the procedure in the portal database connected as the schema owner.

Standard SAP Table for PO Header Text and PO Item Text

Hi,
I want to know the Standard SAP Table where the PO Header Text and the PO Item Text are stored.
Thanks,
RK

PO texts are stored in tables STXH and STXL.
TDOBJECT is EKKO for header texts and EKPO for item texts.
Just for future reference with regards to getting text id's etc.
eg: PO texts.
--> Go into the PO.
--> Go to the text tab (item or header - depends what u want).
--> Double click into the required text.
--> Click the "GO TO" menu option.
--> click Header.
and all the info you need is there.
You need to use function module READ_TEXT. Since lenght of text is variable it is stored in binary format and cannot be read via a table viewer.

"Tools" in my menu bar missing "options" and other items. Can only use 3.6.26 on my computer.

When I click "Tools" in my menu bar, only these items appear:
web search, downloads, add ons, error console, page info, start browsing history, and clear recent history. How can I get back other items such as "options"?

On Mac you can find "Options" under Firefox > Preferences.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Options+window
You can consider to update to Mac OS X 10.5 to be able to use newer Firefox versions.

Apps that are written for the Mac OS cannot be used on iOS devices, such as the iPad. You can purchase the iOS versions of some of these apps in the iTunes App Store.
