Maximizing windows looks strange in Gnome 3.2

Since I upgraded to Gnome 3.2, maximizing windows looks really strange (the left and top border of the window is cut off).
I have set everything to default in the gnome tweak tool. What do you think causes this?

Objects/text in pdf from InDesing in Windows looks strange on a mac

Hey people,
I really hope someone can help me.
I'm having problems with the pdf documents I create in InDesign CS5 in Windows, when they are viewed in Safari or Firefox on a mac.
I export as high quality print and haven't made any other changes in the presets area. They look completely fine in Apple viewer and if you download the pdf files on a mac but when you view them in a browser some of the text is missing, or the text is altered to commas and question marks.
The objects appear very aggressive in colour where the transparency is actually set to 10%, and sometimes a coloured semi-transparent box appears on top of text boxes.
I have made sure that all text boxes are brought to the front layer.
Does anyone know if I'm doing something wrong while exporting or could this actually be a browser problem on a mac?
Hope to hear from you, thanks.

Compiled executable does not open in maximized window

I have attached a JPG showing the VI Properties that pertain to Window size. Despite the fact that I have indicated in Run-Time Position - Position: Maximized. The compiled executable does not open in a maximized window.
Even stranger, if I take the shortcut for the program and change it's properties (on the target machine) to Open Maximized, it still doesn't open maximized.
I have had this behavior with every compiled executable for a couple of years using versions of LabVIEW 8, 2010, 2011 and currently 2011 SP1. Both the compiling machine and the target machine are Windows XP.
Is there any explanation for this behavior? Any way to correct it?

I think Ravens Fan is correct. The aspect ratio appears to take precedence over the window position.
You can set a property manually in your code to maximize the window.

[Solved] Openproj looks strange in the awesome WM

Hi Community,
I just installed openproj from the AUR. But when I run it in the awesome WM, I found the background of the application looked nearly blank, which made openproj impossible to edit in.
It looks strange. So, openproj cannot be run from the awesome WM?
Any idea will be helpful. Thanks.
=======
Solved:
Just edit the file /usr/bin/openproj and add a line to be as follows:
#!/bin/sh
wmname LG3D
java -Xms128m -Xmx768m -jar /usr/share/openproj/openproj.jar > /dev/null

Thank you very much!

Edit:
I've found a detailed description from this article: Java GUI application in Awesome Window Manager.
There is a known problem with Java and the non-reparenting Window Managers like for example Awesome.
Java applications which use the XToolkit/XAWT backend may draw gray windows only. The XToolkit/XAWT backend breaks ICCCM-compliance in JDK 5 and 6 because it assumes a reparenting window manager.
There are a number of places where this is described:
* in the FAQ : GUI Java apps appear as a gray screen!
* in the wiki Problems with Java
* in the Man page
To sum up:
* it doesn't affect version Java 1.4.2 and before.
* it doesn't affect version Java 1.7 and hopefully after.
* the best workaround by far, is to set a name to the Window Manager, so it is recognise by Java as a non-reparenting Window Manager. A simple utility allow to set this name. Just add 'wmname LG3D' to your .xinitrc or simply run it.
* Here are other workarounds left here for reference:
o launch another X server, like Xephyr
o set the following environment variable (to use the older Motif back-end instead): AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit. But this won't work in the following cases :
+ OpenJDK/IcedTea doesn't include the Motif toolkit.
+ doesn't work for x86_64 Java, for whatever reason

Itunes is displaying in Japanese , all th fonts look strange. Just upgraded

Athlon Windows XP
Just upgraded to 7.02 and all text looks strange and music looks to be for the Japan market and price of download in in Yen. All my setting in iTunes are for English.
What can I do?

ME TOO!
At first I thought it was cute, "oh look now I can listen to cool J-pop bands like Bump of Chicken and BoA", but it won't go away. Where is my itms that I know and love.
And who wants to pay up to 200 yen for a song? That's like two dollars.
Plus I can't read Japanese.
Is everyone's iTunes like this right now?

Looking for tiling + Gnome

I've been looking for an easy to use tiling window manager to use with Gnome. One that doesn't require a lot of configuration. In the past, I have used KDE primarily and really liked the idea of kwin tiling. In fact, kwin tiling is pretty much exactly what I am looking for. I want something that automatically maximizes and tiles according to a chosen layout. Resizing one window resizes the rest of the windows accordingly. I was under the impression that the compiz grid plugin was what I was looking for but unfortunately not. It seems to only be able to place windows in a tile-like format with keyboard shortcuts. I'm looking for something that tiles automatically.
Are there any options out there for me or should I switch back to KDE?

Any window manager can replace gnomes' one so the question I guess is what are the dynamic tiling window managers.
Here is a comparison of the tilers, you'll want one with a text config and dynamic not manual tiling.
A quick perusal would suggest wmfs as being one of the more popular - and there's a healthy thread in here about it.

Get compiz to not decorate maximized windows

Is there a way to turn off window borders and title bars for maximized windows in compiz?

Yup, looks like I want to change "Decoration windows" under "Window decoration" from any to only match non-maximized windows.
!(state:maxhorz & state:maxvert), doesn't work, though. How do I match against (non-)maximized windows?

[SOLVED] Desktop looks strange after upgrade to Gnome3!

Hi there,
I just upgraded my system (about 200 packages) and when I rebooted my Login-Screen looked strange.
When I logged in the strange screen persisted... Arch told me that Gnome3 couldn't be loaded and
that this has probably something to do with my graphics hardware.
This is what it looks like:

As you can see my Dekstop looks like shit. Also the WiFi Password isnt saved, which is a minor issue for me.
But what really sucks is that the system flag is missing!!
I have no idea how to even start to solve this...
Please help!!!

Taskbar hidden by maximized windows

Has anyone come across an issue with maximizing windows and having them cover the taskbar? I'm finding it horribly annoying that when I maximize my window, it hides the bar and I then have to minimize the window to say... switch applications or look at the time... the list goes on and on... I've tried several different solutions, some claiming to enable a "always on top" solution, but that still wont make it stay. Does anyone have any tips or ideas? Im seriously about to reinstall just so I dont have to deal with the issue anymore.

No taskbar on win-key is a sure sign of file damage. SFC will fix that. If not, you are probably seeing a resource problem with the Aero theme. Video drivers are the usual suspect there.

Adobe 9 always opens in a Maximized window

Hi
When opening a link in Internet Explorer 6 that opens a pdf, the pdf file opens in a maximized window. When clicking on a pdf file on the computer it will always open in a maximized window.
I have gone into the properties for Adobe and made sure that it is run in a Normal Window.
I have gone into edit > preferences and have not found any options where you can select whether to open in maximized window.
Is there a way to specifiy whether to open the files in a maximized window or, as in this case, to open the window in normal/restore down view.
Thank you
Charlotte

Charlotte,
I'm having the same problem using IE 8.
Did you ever get a resolution for this? I see no one ever responded to your post.
Thanks!

Windows look and feel instead, in InternalFrameDemo.java

Hi all, I am learning swing and I am trying to modify the
InternalFrameDemo.java source from
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/examples/components/index.html#InternalFrameDemo
My idea is to add the line
JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true); in the constructor, but it doesn't work
and I don't understand why.
Could somebody please help me?
Kindest regards,
Lasse
public InternalFrameDemo() {
super("InternalFrameDemo");
//Make the big window be indented 50 pixels from each edge
//of the screen.
int inset = 50;
Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
setBounds(inset, inset,
screenSize.width - inset*2,
screenSize.height - inset*2);
//FDoesn't work
JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
//Set up the GUI.
desktop = new JDesktopPane(); //a specialized layered pane
createFrame(); //create first "window"
setContentPane(desktop);
setJMenuBar(createMenuBar());
//Make dragging a little faster but perhaps uglier.
desktop.setDragMode(JDesktopPane.OUTLINE_DRAG_MODE);
}

Uh I think you're mistaken. Whenever in doubt or something doesn't work as expected, check the javadocs. The link to the javadocs can usually be found really easily by typing "java 6 classname". In this case:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/JFrame.html
If you want to set the Windows look & feel as your thread title suggests, this was not the method you were looking for as the javadocs will tell you. That method controls if a frame is decorated or not (as the name suggests), which it is by default. Setting it to true will not change anything.
So what then? You type into Google "java swing windows look and feel". Without quotes of course.

I bought a Mac Mini for the family but there's something very odd. Windows looks completely different and I'm completely confused. Is this because of Windows 8? How do I get back to my old Windows!

Windows looks completely different and we can't use the computer. We're flumoxed, we did some research and read about this new version of Windows - is this the problem? Is there a way to revert to the older version of Windows? Apple has shot themselves in the foot with this change. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Macs don't come with Windows. They come with OS X. If you want Windows, you'll need to install it yourself, or return the Mac and buy a PC.

Open web page from URL iview in maximized window

Hi,
I would like to open a web page in a <b>maximized</b> browser window, using an URL iView.
I know how to open a window in a separate window, I just can't get it maximized.
N.B. I do <b>NOT</b> want to open in <b>fullscreen</b> mode, i.e. I want a title bar and menus.
Does anyone know how to do it?
I tried to play around with the "window function" property of the iView, but no luck so far. I can't specify a fixed width and height of the target window at design time, as these values may vary at runtime.
regards
Lothar

Hi Lothar,
Yes, That will require Java Coding, Its true. Basically what the problem here is that to maximize we are trying to fetch the Screen resolution dynamically through Portal that Portal is not allowing us. Thats why I feel that we should go for Java Programing, Create a Par, Deploy it in the server and then create iView for that.
For Creating the Abstract Portal Component for Opening a Maximized Window You should do following steps.
1. Open Your NWDS
2. Create a project ie Portal Application
3. Create Portal Object ie Abstract Portal Component.
Now here is the piece of code that may help you
          response.write("<SCRIPT language=javascript>");
          response.write("function onOpenWindow()");
          response.write("{");
          response.write("window.open('http://abc.com','windowName','width=screen.availWidth,height=screen.availHeight,resizable=yes')");
          response.write("}");
          response.write("</SCRIPT>");
          response.write("<a href = \"javascript:onOpenWindow()\">abc.com</a>");
Paste this code in doContent...
I think it may help you
Thanx & Regards

A way of making window look transparent

I'm using the following method to make a window look transparent: whenever a frame is moved, it makes a screenshot of the underliying area and displays it as its background
but, unfortunately, this doen't work in this example ????
public class MyFrame extends JFrame implements ComponentListener{
private Image image;
public MyFrame(){
super();
this.addComponentListener(this);
public void componentHidden(ComponentEvent e){}
public void componentShown(ComponentEvent e){}
public void componentResized(ComponentEvent e){}
public void componentMoved(ComponentEvent e){
try{
image = (new Robot()).createScreenCapture(new Rectangle(getX(), getY(), 200, 200));
repaint();
}catch(Exception ex){ ex.printStackTrace(); };
public void paint(Graphics g){
if(image != null){
g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, this);

May it will not help too much, but I know that a transparent window, isn't transparent, in truth.
What this windows really is doing is a screenshot of desktop background, and printing it at window background. So, I think prefectly normal that problems as your happen somtimes.
best wishes
