Making the height of the taskbar SMALLER!

Maybe this is a Windows 7 issue and not Lenovo, but does anyone know how to reduce the height of the taskbar at the bottom of the screen? The CONNECTION stairs and the Lenovo TOOLBAR icons are huge and make it much too tall with the screen area compromised.
Thanks so much in advance.

right click the taskbar and click "use small icons"

How may I change the height of the menu bar to allow my large icons/buttons to maintain their size?

I recently updated from FF28 to FF31. Totally different UI, I get that. I waited to update until I could psych myself to try something different. I have the Default Australis Theme and Noia Fox Theme, which is designed with larger icons/buttons for those with visual needs. On my screen at the moment I have the title bar, menu bar, tab bar, and url/addon bar with the "hamburger" menu to the right. I placed icons in the menu bar, kept the home icon on the addon bar, and then there are the default icons in the menu popup. When I enable the Noia Fox Theme, the icons look great on the url/addon bar, even in the menu popup; clear, large, easy to see. However, the icons in the menu bar (not the menu popup) are less than half their original/intended size. So I switch to default Australis Theme, restart, and same issue, though not quite as dramatic since Default theme is smaller to begin with.
My thinking then is that there is a setting within the menu bar which resizes the icons/buttons to a small default size. Can this setting be changed to allow the icons to retain their original size (or close to it) and if so, how? I like the location of the menu bar on my screen, below the title bar, above the tab bar. Works nicely with the new The Fox Only Better addon which attaches to the tab bar and hides the url bar, a "new" feature for me and I'm liking it. I know I can get CTR with an additional bar, and I did try that. The issue then is that the additional bar appears below the tab bar and is not movable to above the tab bar and below the title bar.
At the moment, I have just the two themes, security addons added and The Fox Only Better. I've not added other appearance addons yet so as to keep potential conflicts/issues to a minimum. I've not tinkered with internal FF default settings other than to say don't track me (I think that's all I did). So to the best of my limited understanding, I've kept changes and customizations to a minimum. And yes, per your educated guess feature for questions posted, I am running Win 8.1 and FF 31.
I think I've offered enough detail so others can try to duplicate the issue. If not, let me know and I'll try to respond as soon as I can. Thanks so much for any help offered.

You can double the height of the menu bar area using a custom style rule. I couldn't immediately find an icon that would take advantage of the space so I'm not sure this will solve the problem, but you could try it.
The custom style rule could be as simple as:
@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
/* double height (from 2x to 4x the 13px base font size) */
#toolbar-menubar{
height:4em !important;
(Result shown in the screen shot, using the preview feature of the Stylish extension.)
You can apply custom style rules to Firefox's UI using either of these methods:
(1) Create or edit a userChrome.css file. This article has more information: http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css
(2) Use the Stylish extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/
Since I don't have this theme to test myself, if this doesn't work well, you might contact the theme author using the theme's support thread, which is on an independent forum: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=2230157

Who to get the height of the text in a Text Layout?

Hey, I'm using the text layout component offered by adobe labs. I read the documentation and now capable of doing almost all what I need. I just have a small problem. Lets say I have a text layout object on my stage containing some text. How can I know the height of the text or the number of lines in it ???
I found their is a porperty: "contentHeight" and a method "calculateHeight()" but they are in another class of the libraries that comes with the text layout component. I don't know how to reach them. Please help and write me the lines of code that do this job.
Thanks

Well I was going to suggest that you post in the TLF forums, http://forums.adobe.com/community/labs/textlayout.
But you seem to have found those. So instead I will suggest that you don't cross-post.
Really if anybody could answer that it would be the folks there. I know there isn't a lot of traffic in those forums, but that is because the TLF is really insanely complicated and it is still beta. But it looks like most questions there do get some kind of answer....

How to increase the height of the text field in Adobe Central

How do I increase the height of the text field in Adobe Central? I know how to change the font size but visually the height of the text field (<0.5cm) looks too small.
I want to be able to print the form and fill it out by hand. But the text field height is too small.
Please help.

Hi;
Are you saving your form as a PDF from FormsCentral to distribute the PDF form?
In the FormsCentral form authoring tools you do not have control over the size of the field. If you are using a PDF however you can edit that PDF in Acrobat after saving from FormsCentral and can edit the size, border, color etc of the fields.
If you want to edit a FormsCentral PDF you'll want to review this FAQ:

How to add the height of the bar between the two parts inside a jsplitpane?

By default the height of the bar is so small that it's difficult for us to click the up arrow or down arrow icon to maximize or minimize the sub part.
Is there any way to make the up and down arrow icon bigger for the vertical-layout jsplitpane?
thanks a lot.

A problem with the height of the sidebars on my website

I am trying to make a website for one of my modules in college and I have come across a little problem.
http://joehowlin.com/onlinesafety/index.htmlhttp://joehowlin.com/onlinesafety/index.html
The left hand sidebar doesn't extend down to the footer (the same would happen to the right hand sidebar if the text wasn't there). I have tried to set the height of the sidebar to 100% and it didn't change the height at all.
I can't really have the sidebars at a set pixel height because there will be different amount information on different pages.
I was told of a way to do it by having the height defined in the <html> tag, but that casues some validation errors and I want to try get my website as html valid as I can.
Does anyone know of a way that can help me?

How can I manually change the height of the "Type ...

Hi all
Just got automatically installed the latest 6.22 version of skype few minutes ago and I got a few questions.
First and foremost, how can I MANUALLY change the height of the textbox, where I type the messages. I would like to make it larger, like in the previous versions of skype. I don't want to move my mouse cursor through the entire monitor to reach this tiny textbox.
And second, why you guys are trying constanly to ruin something that is working perfectly ? Going to revert to the previous version until you fix all these nuisances.

There is no way to do this, it is designed to be strictly landscape with keyboard, portrait without - not the best thought-out phone on the market, mainly geared towards compulsive texters and e-mailers.
There's no way to know whetherNokia will change this with any future updates, perhaps you should make the recommendation to them directly using the 'contact us' link.

I created a Pages document inserting 2 columns using 1) Inspector 2) Layout 3) columns. How do I decrease the height of the column. Have tried to use cursor and drag down the top border, but that does not reset the top border.

Set your columns back to one for the moment. In layout mode, insert a Text box. Place it in the upper left corner of your document, and drag down and right to the size of the container for your two columns. Click inside the Text Box, and now bump up your columns to 2. Your two columns are now contained in this resizable Text Box.

Hi sivavuyyuru,
I cannot find a easy way to make this.
I think you may need to draw your own Combo Box control. And you could change the edit control more like static text. Check the article:
http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/controls/combobox/fontselectioncombos/article.php/c1795/Owner-Drawn-Font-Selection-Combobox.htm
In the resource editor, Owner draw -> variable , Has string->true, type->drop list.
The result:

How to change the height of the advanced paragraph window in WPC?

Hello,
I would like to have a bigger window when I work with the advanced paragraph in WPC in order to see better the content.
It´s ok if I see at the beginning the default size. However, I need the posibility to maximize the height of the window to a predefinded maximum height.
It´s maybe possible to give an extra property for like MaxHeight="500" in the xml-File?
<element id="paragraph_advanced" description="xml.xlbl.paragraph_advanced" type="htmleditadvanced" Maxheight="500" default="false" />
Does anybody have experience with it.
Thanks in advance.
Thomas

Hi Thomas...
Did you have success changing the paragraph height?
I'm with the same problem.
I had another idea to solve it. If I couldn't change the height, i'll create my own web form (based on article form), only with paragraph field.
I've tested this option and worked. But I prefer to use the standard web form.

Font size is computed as a function of the height of the annotation rectangle.

From Pdf reference:
The default appearance string (DA) contains any graphics state or text state oper-
ators needed to establish the graphics state parameters, such as text size and color,
for displaying the fields variable text. Only operators that are allowed within text
objects may occur in this string (see Figure 4.1 on page 197). At a minimum, the
string must include a Tf (text font) operator along with its two operands, font and
size. The specified font value must match a resource name in the Font entry of the
default resource dictionary (referenced from the DR entry of the interactive form
dictionary; see Table 8.67). A zero value for size means that the font is to be auto-
sized: its size is computed as a function of the height of the annotation rectangle.
Could u please to provide the mentioned function description

I don't think any of the users here could provide that.

Fixing the height of the maon area of a table in the main window in smartfo

hi all,
I have a requirement where I need to fix the height of the main area of a table in the main window in a smartform.

Hi,
If you need to fix the height of the main area of a table on a page.
Then use a loop node to loop the table with 1 to 6 rows and under the loop node make us of a template for displaying the fixed no of rows.

Using JDAPI to set the height of the Forms Canvas to it's default value

Hi,
I've been trying for a while to use the JDAPI to set the height of the Oracle Form Canvas to it's default value.
Can anyone advice how to do this ?
Can the currCanvas.inheritProperty(arg0) be used in this case ?
Thanks in advance,

Hi David,
Note that I used a Footer Row in my Table. Headers and Footers have special properties. (A poster in the last couple of weeks asked for a summary of Header and Footer properties - somewhat frustrated that he couldn't find a succinct description in the User Guide. Well, there isn't one and the answer is so complicated that nobody has taken on the project. Now we have a new version of Numbers and the answer would need to change.)
The way to avoid the error is to use a Footer Row and to use the shortcut cell reference notation: =SUMIF(C,TRUE,B). The columns are specified, but the row range is not. Footers are exempt in this notation, so no error is generated regarding a circular reference.
Hope this clears it up.

Is it possible to control the height of the Portfolio panel via the PDF Portfolio itself?

Hi All,
Is it possible to embed into a PDF Portfolio kind of a directive to Adobe Acrobat Reader what should be the height of the Portfolio panel (red line on the image below)?
The idea, basically, is to adjust the height of the panel to the number of files in the portfolio.
Alternatively, is there a way to embed a directive to open by default the Layout pane instead of the Files pane?
Thank you all in advance for assistance!

You can control it at initial view time, but not dynamically. Once its displayed it's user-controlled.
AFAIK, you can't open it into Layout mode.
