Making Properties Panel reappear

Hello,
I cannot see the Properties Panel on my laptop anymore. I was using the dual monitor mode with my laptop at work. However when I try to use Xcelsius using only my laptop screen, the properties panel is not visible anymore. Any help you can provide will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Various methods at your rescue:-
Delete the folder from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Xcelsius\Settings\en and restart xcelsius
Resize your laptop screen size
Check if the reinstallation work
Best Luck!!!

Disable Properties Panel Popping up When Making Shape?

As title says, can you Disable Properties Panel Popping up When Making Shape?
Sorry if this is a silly question, I can't seem to find the anwser anywhere. Whenever I make any shape it keeps bringing the panel up.

As I don't like the way it covers the image, I docked it on top of the layers panel, and made my own workspace. I've read there is a new contextual menu to the panel on Photoshop 14.1

Properties panel still a major issue - so is overall CC interface

Hi, I have just bought into the whole Adobe CC apps things after years of working with CS4, 5 and 5.5 and remaining compatible with most of my clients, few are taking the leap to CC right now.
Anyways, I am extremely disappointed in the interface, and completely amazed that the Properties panel in Dreamweaver is still ridiculously underwhelming.
Case in point, the URL field.
Why has this field remained limited to just 30 characters when the Property panel extends the full width of the screen and is completely empty from the walfway mark over to the far right?
Can't remember the last time I had such a simple URL it even fit in there, mostly dealing with enewsletters with externally-hosted content... need hard URLs that are lengthy, this limitation adds too much time to my work and is annoying beyond belief.
In addition, all CC apps now leave a hideous solid background that covers all other apps, and the Finder, this to me is reverting back to 1998 standards, not Mac OS X standards at all.
Are the recent Adobe CC apps all Windoze ports? The dialogue boxes look hideous, the progress bars, etc, etc. all hideous, nothing like the slick CS4 look that was a major improvement over previous versions.
And in any dialogue box you have to tab through every single option in the dialogue box... what?
I used to love Adobe apps, I use them daily, several hours a day. Now I just don't want to have to deal with them.
Please Adobe, what happened? Tell me you're working on fixing these issues and making these apps usable again.
Right now I'd rather become a manager and not have to look at InDesign, Illustrator, PhotoShop, Dreamweaver ever again.
Thanks.

Hi David, thanks for the Application Frame tip... although in InDesign [the app I use most] it is also in prefs which was confusing, isn't in DW's prefs, or Ilustrator's or PhotoShop's... but the interface colouring is... the inconsistency here is annoying. There are so many issues leftover from previous versions of these apps which I have pointed out to Adobe that it's disappointing, having "upgraded" to CC and not finding any real improvement. I remember when apps moved a full version they were exciting to use and explore, just not happening any more with so much room for improvement - I could understand if the apps had everything needed and were the absolute best possible... but not the case, truly disappointed, could have stayed with CS5.5. Thanks.
PS - that form you pointed me to is the one I used to file the request - and they replied it wasn't a bug it was a feature request, even though the title of that forms states "Feature Request/Bug Report Form" Weird.

Properties Panel Default Size

I have the strange situation whereby when I open Xcelsius the Properties Panel is approx 50% of the width of the Xcelsius window. When I resize it to be around 25%, close and reopen Xcelsius it's still around 50%. I'm pretty sure it didn't used to be so wide.
I'm thinking I've got a Registry entry messed up or perhaps the default canvas. Can anyone point me in the right direction to sort this out?
Thanks
Charles

Hi Charles,
Here is how to reset the user defined settings (window sizes, which windows are open) in the registry.
You should make a backup of your windows registry before making any changes...
1). Close Xcelsius down.
2). Run regedit.
3). Navigate to and delete this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Xcelsius\Settings
4). Then start Xcelsius and you should be good to go again.
I'm not sure what causes this but for me it sometimes happens when I am running Xcelsius and I change windows screen resolution, then have been into and out of preview mode, not all the time though...
If you can help me figure out some simple steps to reproduce it we can log the bug and hopefully get it fixed in the future...
Regards,
Matt

Component Properties panel stuck/broken

Xcelsius Engage 2008 5.1.1.0, Build 12,1,1,344
MS Office 2007 (12.0.6324.5001) SP1 MSO (12.0.6320.5000)
Windows XP SP2
In the main project I have been developing for the past week, the Properties Panel appears to be completely broken all of a sudden. With some effort, I can eventually manage to double-click on an existing object and bring up its properties, but it often requires clicking around to different components, hide/unhiding them, lock/unlocking them etc. first before I can do that.
New objects refuse to appear in the Object Browser at all even though they show up in the design area when I drag them in, and even double-clicking them after jumping through the above hoops has no perceptible effect. (They can be resized and dragged around, though, and no, sorry, right-click context menu options are all grey).
The moment the issue seemed to begin was when, in this same project, I attempted to select multiple components in the object browser to edit one field, but aborted that attempt in favor of editing one object that was not in the group. The objects, incidentally, were each sitting inside different groups containing other objects, and all of these groups were sitting inside one main Panel container. All of a sudden, my selection was "stuck" and Xcelsius behaved very sluggishly and finally crashed. I didn't connect this to my select action, however, because I chalked it up to being yet another instance of [the performance issue I documented previously|Frequent crashes when running Excel 2007, Xcelsius 4.5 and Xcelsius 2008; (Nov 7).
Realizing this connection later, I also attempted to multi-select objects again in a variety of ways, hoping to magically reverse the problem somehow, but fortune did not smile on me and the issue has remained.
After much trial and error, and several system reboots, it seems that my Xcelsius 2008 is stuck this way. I plan to reinstall it soon, but in the interests of providing you in QA/Support with the information that you'll likely need, I'm willing to delay this step. That said, I really don't have much time to deal with this sort of thing right now. I really need to get past this and other issues soon so that I can move forward towards a looming project milestone, and if I can't I may have to scrap the effort and go with a different solution entirely. I sincerely hope another SP or FP is due out soon.

Ah, I fixed it.
1. Closed project (and Xcelsius) again (no save - never saved once since this issue began for fear of making things worse)
2. Launched Xcelsius on its own
3. Started new phony project
4. Dragged in a couple of panels
5. Dragged in a bunch of random objects into panels
So far everything seemed fine. I could see all objects both in the design area and the Object Browser, and I could edit them however I wanted.
6. Multiple-selected a bunch of objects within groupings within one of the Panel components
7. Clicked on a field within that selection as if to edit it, but didn't
8. Clicked away to some other random object (not in Panel)
Everything was fine, so far. The issue was not recreated, and Xcelsius seemed fine.
9. Opened my real project from the File menu recent items list (closed w/o saving the phony project)
10. Double-clicked on various components - no problems
11. Dragged in new component, voila, now I could see it listed in the Object Browser, and edit its properties however I liked.
So far, so good. Hopefully the problem remains gone. I would love to hear feedback if you have any.

Main Properties panel's width

I've notice that in Fireworks 8, the main properties panel's
width extends
under the side panels, where in fireworks mx 2004,
dreamweaver 8 + under,
and flash 8 + under, all have the main properties panel just
in the middle
column under the canvas (assuming you are using the default 3
column
interface layout). This creates a problem because its now
wasted space and I
can't have as many side panel open at one time because of
this.
So the question is, is there a file I can change or modify,
maybe even take
a file from fireworks mx 2004, to make the width of the main
properties
panel stay in the middle column like its suppose to?

Properties panel missing things in css mode (CS4)

Hi - I'm doing a tutorial in css with a Dreamweaver CS4 pre-designed layout. I want to make a nav bar by using an unordered list and hyperlinking the words in the list.
My properties panel (bottom of the window) in css mode does not show a box for links or a gizmo for making lists, indents, etc.Shouldn't those be available?
Do I have to use the menus at the top? Do I switch to <>HTML to get the features that are missing in css mode?
Insights would be appreciated.
Thank you.

They are when you click on the HTML button on the Property inspector.

Photoshop CC Properties Panel Live Shape bug

I know this problem was being discussed in the Photoshop forum a few months ago, but I want to put it in CC forum, since it's a CC problem.
I'm having the same issues as these people, where the properties panel doesn't always show you the live shape options and I can't for the life of me figure out why. Is there any movement on this?
watch a video of the problem here
See the problem here

Hi,
It ends up being a design decision, based on limitations around multi-layer selection and multi-path selection. There were serious problems activating the Live Shape properties without making a deliberate gesture from users a requirement. That's why we only enable them when paths are targeted with the Path tool or Direct select tool.
regards,
steve
SG... Why not make the Live Shape Properties appear when the Move Tool selects a layer, then Free Transform Path is activated? That is a deliberate gesture that is intuitive.
That seems more natural than having to use the Path tool or Direct Select tool, which feels more like an awkward hack than a natural flow.
Just making the Live Shapes selectable in the menu and/or assigning it a shortcut would be a step in the right direction.
Thanks,
Phil

Nice to have a Properties panel shortcut - (sidebar issues)

Hi,
Great seeing all the interaction here between users and Adobe...
Just thinking it would be nice to have a preset keyboard shortcut for showing the properties panel;
I tried adding it to the sidebar, but when I open it and move it, it has to be re-attached again.
I reset Ctrl-P to do this, as I really don't use the Print command enough for a shortcut.
-Jad
Just realized - the real issue is regarding the sidebar itself;
If you have panel icons docked there and open them - and then move them, their icons are removed from the sidebar.
Might be nice to leave those icons on the sidebar after the panels are opened and moved, so after closing the panels you don't have to manually re-add them there,
or at least make it so when you move the detached panel next to the sidebar, it re-attached the icon..?
thanks! Jad

Thank you for making it a sticky post...

I have CC and while attempting Light Effects, the Layer will appear in the layers panel, but the option bar will not appear and neither will the Properties panel. All my preferences are set correct, and my computer has a compatible video card and RAM. Ple

I have CC and while attempting Light Effects, the Light Effects Layer will appear in the layers panel, but the option bar will not appear and neither will the Properties panel. All my preferences are set correct, and my computer has a compatible video card and RAM. Please help!
I tried to delete the layer attempt again. I am in a Photoshop class, but the work is all online, so all my teacher is going to do is send me to this site. I am trying to edit a photo for this class, and without this working, i go to filter>render>light effects. the bar and panel will pop up for about 2 seconds, then disappear. How do i get the options bar and properties panel to display?

I was about to suggest resetting LE from the Workspace drop-down top right corner, but if you can't see the Options Bar, I guess that is not going to happen. The normal Tool reset is grey out for LE, so it might be a case of resetting Preferences.

Character Styles in CSS Properties Panel are not correct

I am using Adobe Illustator CC.
I am trying to export all of the charter styles as CSS. However the CSS panel is not generating the correct style.
Right now, in the Character Styles Panel and CSS Properties Panel I have 3 styles (Default, h1, h2)
This is how they are defined in the Character Styles Panel:
1. [Normal Character Style]:Helvectic Neue LT Std, 55 Roman, 16px
2. h1: Helvectic Neue LT Std, 25 Ultra Light, 35px
3. h2: Helvectic Neue LT Std, 45 Light, 18px
HOWEVER
When I go to the CSS Properties panel the code is not showing the Font Style:
This is how they are defined in the CSS Properties Panel:
1. [Normal Character Style]:
.NormalCharacterStyle
font-family : Helvetica Neue LT Std;
font-size : 16px;
color : #19131F;
color : rgb(25, 19, 31);
2. h1:
.h1
font-family : Helvetica Neue LT Std;
font-size : 35px;
letter-spacing : 0.53px;
color : #FFFFFF;
color : rgb(255, 255, 255);
Missing: 25 Ultra Light
3. h2:
.h2
font-family : Helvetica Neue LT Std;
font-size : 18px;
text-transform : uppercase;
color : #FCFCFC;
color : rgb(252, 252, 252);
Missing: 45 Light
Am I not doing somethign correctly? Is it a problem with my font or with Illustrator?
Also, in case it makes a difference, I only have the default paragraph style defined. It's style is; Helvectic Neue LT Std, 55 Roman
Thanks!

CSS cannot render typographical multiple weight fonts simply because that's just not how it works. All CSS does is reference a physical font file and its properties and while it's possible to use the font-weight and font-style attributes to make standard fonts lighter or bolder it does not compare to anything you would do with the font in a real design environment. That and of course you still need to define fallback/ substitution options - the Helvetica Neue you are referencing is exclusively available on Apple systems only and even if what you are trying worked off the bat, it would be useless on alternate devices that have no access to the font.

Can I turn off the Properties Panel in Photoshop CC?

Every
Single
Time
I draw a line or a shape or do almost anything it seems in PSCC, the Properties Panel jumps out. Quite rudely, it blocks the upper right of whatever I am working on. Yes, I can simply close it, but it interrupts my workflow, and it pops out constantly. This definitely did not happen in CS6 or any previous version of PS or even in the first version of PS in Creative Cloud.
I haven't yet come across anywhere that will let me deactivate that automatic pop-out...I was hoping someone else had found it already. I would greatly appreciate some assistance!
Thanks!!

You 'instruct' me; I 'should' ... Imperatives, and yet it's me who has the 'attitude'.
Your point regarding dates on the implementation is noted - apologies to those attempting to find a viable work-around with what they had available to them - but subsequent advice to deal with this by buying an extra monitor makes multiple presumptions.
Thanks once again for your opinion on what I should do, but I came to the Adobe forum for an answer regarding an Adobe issue, by definition precisely the right place. Not to be given commands as to how I should work or spend my money by a complete stranger. There's very little helpful about the latter two points, irrespective of how you choose to define them.
To restate my thanks:
Thank you to Jorge and qerhqrhbwdbs for advice on how to actually deal with the problem.
I've got more pressing things on the agenda than bickering about this, Noel, I presume you have too.

CS4- properties panel not displayed correctly

I just installed Dreamweaver v10. The properties panel information is being clipped. Does anyone else have this problem?

Good evening,
make sure your dpi is set to default 96 dpi, I had this problem because working with a small screen and old eyes, I adjusted my font size, had to set back to default 96dpi, hope this helps

Why is my properties panel empty on photoshop cc

Upon opening my properties panel it is empty. The tutorial I am doing shows the property panel with adjustments ie. Curves. How do I fix this?

Go to the top menu and click:
Window >> Adjustments

Color picker in the Properties panel used to work

I have an object that I want to fill with a specific color. I click on the Fill property, choose the color picker, and type in the RGB numbers for the color. For example 240, 150, 100 for the RGB values. I get black. If I type those same color values into the new Swatches panel, I get an orange color. Has the color picker in the Properties panel stopped working?

Jay, that is a known bug, reported it months ago and hope it will be fixed
soon. The Color picker (picking colors) is still functional, it is only typing in of Hexadecimal codes that is not possible at this moment.
