Menu size and button viewing

I've been using FCS2 for quite awhile with no problem with DVDSP. I had to clean install my system, so decided to upgrade to the latest versions, which for DVDSP was 4.2.1. (OS 10.5.2 at the time)
When I opened the new version of DVDSP for the first time, the layout was a little different, which I can live with. What I am having trouble with is the viewing of the menu. It is quite a bit smaller ( on a 30" monitor it is about 4x6 inches in size) and I can't increase the viewing size at all.
I make my menus in photoshop. When I try to draw buttons, the buttons used to stay on the screen so when I drew a second button I would know where the first one was so as not to overlap. Not so now. The other buttons are not visible, although if I click on the word where I have made a button that particular button will come back up (only that button, though).
I need to make the viewing size larger and see all the buttons at once that I have drawn. Is this possible in vs 4.2.1? It used to be in previous versions.
Thanks.
Sharon

There are three viewing modes for DVDSP - basic, intermediate and advanced. You can switch between them at any time using the apple key on your keyboard and either the number 1, 2 or 3. For access to all of the features, use the advanced mode.
When the app opens in this mode there are four distinct 'quarters' to the display. You can use your mouse to get the pointer in the border between each section and simply drag to widen the display of that section. As you do, a corresponding section will reduce in size. If you click on the intersection of the four quarters and drag that then you can re-size all four at once.
Menu display will not get very large at all, but you can click on the menu viewer tab within it's quarter and drag it 'out' of the quarter to be in its own window that floats above the other quarters. You can then use two monitors and drag the menu viewer onto a second screen, which, if you change the resolution, will appear larger.
In this respect DVDSP has remained the same since version 3.

  • Issue with slideshow size and buttons.

    I am having issues with the spry image slideshow  with filmstrip.   I can not figure out why the buttons disappeared.  When I was installing the slideshow to the site I am pretty sure I only changed the size so that it would fit the page.  Once I got that figured out I noticed the buttons where no longer there.  Also the arrows for the thumbnail pictures would not work.  I was able to make some adjustments to get the arrows to work with thumbnails.  Still having problems with the play and next and previous buttons. They are not visible.  Any help would be appreciated.  The site is http://abbeyhelpsbrokenhearts.com/story.html
    I have created a brand new page to test in dreamweaver.  If I change the size of the width it puts a white box below the slideshow with the buttons below. 

    hiya
    well , you are certainly getting some really good help now...its like you fell into a room with the best editors and shooters and everything and you can get a lot of information and run with it...find out a lot of things.
    Some of it requires you follow through on your own as much as possible ( like you have already ) by reading and googling things you dont know, etc...  this forum and these guys is how I learned a lot about this stuff in the past year or so...so listen to what they say....google what you dont understand....you cant go wrong.
    now...about what you said...
    I exported the test clip as  an MPEG2-DVD and it gave me a video file with NO SOUND, a separate WAV  sound file, and two xmp files. This is not what I was looking for.
    I have a movie project on  Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. I simply want to export/publish the movie, burn  it onto a DVD using Windows DVD maker and have it as top quality, like  it looks in the preview monitor on Premiere. Tell me how to do it.---
    I dont use encore to burn a dvd, but use DVDit PRO.  It wants exactly what you got when you exported to mpeg 2 dvd ....a video file without sound muxed.. and a separate wav file....
    I know it sounds weird but thats the way the program burns the DVD....and that has to do with making the VOB files etc for the DVD...which is just the way it is....you see the vob files AFTER you burn the DVD if you look in the DVD...
    anyway, mpeg 2, mpeg 4, all that highly compressed stuff ( as you said ) is highly compressed to FIT onto the media ( DVD ) or whatever....but it plays good and it looks good...and has NOTHING to do with anything except squishing stuff down to fit the media and looking ( viewing ) GOOD.  the best movie you ever saw on DVD is mpeg 2 .....  turned into vob in the making of the DVD by the software that makes the DVD.
    all these things are different animals ...what you edit , what you deliver, etc ....

  • New update changed menu size and now have to scroll to see all. Reducing size of menu

    The new update has changed the menu size of tool bars and any menu screen opened. Now have to scroll down and sideways to look at it. Can not fit to the screen.
    How do you change the resolution of the menu boxes and tool bars?
    My screen resolution is 1920x1080
    The menu/tool bars font size I can read from a mile away.
    Everything was fine until the update.
    I'm running windows 8.1 pro with all the latest updates installed.
    Even when opening Adobe the screen showing open what use to be small and take about 1/4 screen. now it takes the whole screen and only just fit on the screen.
    I can not find anywhere to adjust display size of the tool bars and menus.
    Does anyone know how to overcome the very large displaying of all tool bars and menus in the latest release?

    Sorry Adobe Acrobat XI
    This shows the size of tool bars to the actual program. They use to fit on the screen.
    This shows the preferences box extend to the right under the windows task bar and to close down or select anything under the task bar I have to grab and slide it side ways.
    This shows the setup crop box extending off the bottom of the screen and there is no way to scroll down or to grab and move the box up so the controls I cant get to (OK or Cancel or page range etc)
    Before the update all boxes and menus fitted on the screen

  • Can I increase menu sizes and fonts without lowering my resolution?

    This is my first desktop Mac ever and its a huge shock to have the menus and fonts so small. I thought my having a large 27" display that its going to be easy to see everything. 
    At the same time I do not want to lower my resolution as i feel it defeats the purpose and I am also a photographer that needs to have the best resolution.  I am okay with hitting comm+ to make applications bigger but the menu bars and applications I use tend to be much smaller than Im used to. Even a word doc on Pages opens up extremely small to where nobody can read it. I am 32 with perfect vision and its making hard to read.
    Im just wondering and hoping that there is something I can adjust and since Im new to Mac dont realize yet.  If not, than thats pretty disappointing and will start to wonder if i should have bought something else
    I am open to downloading 3rd party stuff if it makes it do what I want it to.
    Thank you!

    Thanks for your suggestions Paul_31 and Strawb268 which, I agree does make a difference to the menu text size but at reduction of screen definition and clarity which is, after all, one of the main reasons I bought the iMac in the first place.
    I've read elsewhere since making the initial post that the Apple engineers don't like a larger font.  Maybe when they get a bit older they will wish they had made that option available!
    I really hope that an option for changing the fonts in menus is included in a future upgrade of Mavericks.  I really don't want to have to go back to a Windows PC to resolve such a simple issue.

  • OS X Lion Server display problem with menu highlighting and button icons

    I have attached  Grab capture of my screen showing the problems with the window top bars and button icons. This happened after a routine security update.
    Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
    Thanks
    George Harrison

    I have/had the same problem. Comparible setup running Lion Server GM. The natd service fires off the InternetSharing service from the prefspane instead of the regular natd service. This is verifiable by entries in the system log as well as the lack of the natd process running. Below are my findings from research/experimentation; please understand that this is what I have done to get it working, it is DEFINITELY not best practices and I'm sure not supported by Apple. I'm just conveying what I think is happening and how I dealt with it.
    Natd - Executing the binary referenced in the launchctl job directly launches the InternetSharing service on Lion server. This does NOT act this way in SL server, where it works as expected. Replacing the Lion binaries with The SL ones results in natd working as expected: nat_start and nat_stop in /usr/libexec. In short, if you replace the Lion binaries with the ones from SL, it-s a drop-in fix. Natd isn't your only problem though...
    Dns/named - It appears that Apple has limited named to binding on the loopback adapter only by default on Lion. Adding a listen-on clause to named.conf with the appropriate bindings will fix this. I'm assuming you're running natd, named and dhcpd on the same box...
    Dhcpd - Works fine. It appears broken only because the InternetSharing service is replacing natd (why?!?) and it has a built-in dhcpd server (dumbed down 192.168.2.0 subnet). Once you fix natd, this runs as expected.
    Firewall/ipfw - Gotta have this running so that natd will do translation. Remember to open the dhcp ports to allow the clients to get leases...
    I hope this helps, I'm sticking with SL until these issues are worked out...

  • Multi Line Menu Item and Button

    Dear oracle developers,
    I am trying to set a multi line label for
    a button.
    The label should be displayed as
    Client
    Reports rather than Client Reports
    on the screen.
    I tried CHR(i) for all the 255 ascii numbers.
    I get some special characters inbetween but never got a new line.
    Can any one have some ideas about this. I would like to use the same feature for a menu item also.
    Thank You.
    Srini S. Sundar

    Hi,
    U can do this in the following way :
    1. Create a Icon button in your Forms canvas.
    2. create a icon file (.ico) by writing a multiline text.
    3. Attach this .ico file to the icon button in your forms.
    Hope this may help you.

  • Finder Window Does not retain custom size and/or view

    I recently installed OS X Snow Leopard and ever sine I have had problems with the behaviour of my finder windows in that they simply will not retain my custom view settings.
    +For example, I set the default view to coverflow with a 50/50 ratio of coverflow (on top) and file lists (on the bottom). But as soon as I click to another location, close and then reopen any finder window, at any time, the result is always the same - the window opens in coverflow with the coverflow graphics taking up around 90% of the window space and the file lists underneath squeezed down to minimum size. Even if I set all windows to open in icon view or list view, the same thing happens.+
    *I have tried all of the following:*
    Opening a finder window, resizing, and then closing it straight away
    Deleting the both the finder and the side bar plist files, emptying the trash and then restarting finder
    Restarting finder on its own
    *Is anyone having the same problem and if so have they found a solution?*

    This problem affects a few of my Finder windows, including the Application folder window. I recently did a clean reinstall of SL (which stands for Stupid Lunatic, because that's what I was for upgrading), and the problem occurred a few days later. This cannot be due to using Migration Assistant (and moving "bad" folders), because the installation process creates the Applications folder and populates it with Apples apps. Migration Assistant just adds your apps to the existing folder.
    This problem, or minor variations of it, has occurred with all seven major versions of OS X. Finder window settings were rock solid way back in OS 7 days and remained so through OS 9. I know that Steve Jobs hates the Desktop/Finder approach, but if it's going to be in OS X, then it should work correctly. I actually long for the days when rebuilding the desktop fixed most of the icon and window problems.
    We need a utility that can erase the custom settings for our folders and let us start with a clean settings file.

  • White menu screen and white viewer screen

    I'm having a problem with all visuals related to projects. Any template or video I add does not show up except for outlines. This is happening with past projects as well and only just began about a week ago. I've switched Final Rendering, dumped prefs. After dumping prefs, I'll load a known working project and is shows just fine. But, as soon as I click anywhere on the screen, everything turns to white. This happens in Menu and Viewer tabs. I hear audio but no video. Thanks in advance.

    That sounds a little severe. Have you made any changes at all to your Mac - changed graphics cards or anything? Also, do you use a font management app like suitcase? If you do, have you turned off any of the fonts DVDSP uses as part of the system? I know it sounds odd, but this has caused all kinds of issues for people in the past and the only resolution was to turn on the system fonts again.
    Have you run a hardware test (using the Apple hardware check disc that your mac came with)? I am no expert on any of this stuff, but check your graphics card... I had one with bad memory and many, many glitches started to appear which just got worse over time. Changed the graphics card and all was fine.

  • 4K Screen Menu Size Adjustment

    How do I adjust the menu size and system font size for use with 4k monitors? I do a lot of 3D modeling on my mac, and the 4K is great for drafting, but the menus, text and buttons are so small, they are hard to read and operate. I'd like the menu bar 2x larger without having to scale my display. Thanks

    Please test to change screen resolution in Mac OS to see if it will help. Laptop cannot "move" screen like monitor (or TV) so resolution should be the only possible way.

  • I am really pisssed off at two characteristics of Firefox 4: Size and position do not stick, and view menu selections do not stick from one use to the next.

    I am really pissed off at two characteristics of Firefox 4: 1) Toolbar selections don't stick and 2) firefox window position and size settings do not stick from one use to the next.
    The Bookmarks toolbar is the selection that does not stick, and Firefox, even though I set it to the size and position I want every time I use the program, always loads flush left, full top to botton, and about 1/3 of the width of the screen EVERY TIME it loads. These two characteristics are extreme pains in the ass.

    This problem occurs on the Juno webmail site?
    I assume you are doing something different than just correcting the squiggly red underlined words. How are you spell-checking the email: using an add-on or using a feature of the Juno webmail site? If it's an add-on, which one is it?

  • Photoshop CC 2014 UI Menu Text And Icon Size?

    so i really like that adobe has added the "experimental" option to increase the ui menu text and icon size in photoshop cc 2014, it was almost unreadable on my 2560 x 1440 27" monitor with photoshop cs4 and illustrator cs4, but the lone 200% setting is too big... seems that 125%, 150%, or maybe even 175% would be much better solutions. in fact, for reasons i can't quite understand, the ui text and icon size in illustrator cc 2014 is spot on, absolutely perfect on my monitor, even tho there is no option for increased ui size as far as i can tell, it was spot on the moment i installed and launched it.
    in short, the photoshop cs4 and illustrator cs4 user interfaces were identical in size as far as i could tell, and far too small on my 2560 x 1440 27" monitor. in terms of cc 2014, the illustrator ui is perfect out of the box on my monitor, considerably larger than illustrator cs4, while the photoshop cc 2014 ui is identical to cs4, tiny, but can be enlarged 200% which makes the ui too big. why couldn't/didn't adobe just make the photoshop cc 2014 base ui the exact same size as the illustrator cc 2014 ui? it would have been perfect (for my monitor size).

    thanks... just wish illustrator cc 2014 wasn't so perfect in terms of ui size, i mean it's just great and, consequently, makes it seem as if the ball was dropped with photoshop cc 2014... i mean how can one be spot on while the other be so far off?

  • How to find the size and resolution option in the aspect ratio drop down menu for the crop tool

    while looking through certain tutorials on the new crop system i came across many that referenced the above mentioned size and resolution option in the  access ratio drop down menu.  They all mention a dialog box which then appears which looks really useful, however my version doesnt have this option. any help would be appreciated.

    Yes, definitely already differences. I sympathize with Photoshop instructors (online and offline).

  • Image size and dpi for iDVD menu custom background?

    I created a custom background for my iDVD menu. When showing
    on my TV, part of the words and image is cut off on each side, even after adjusting my tv picture between wide screen and standard screen.
    What is the correct size and dpi to make a photograph to use as a background
    image in the menus? This may have been answered before, so I apologize for posting the same question, if so.

    iDVD will try to downsize the image to work, but your TV often will overscan with the result being edges clipped off. The amount of clipping can vary, so the "TV Safe" settings will typically be the center 80-90% of the image. So, if you add a border that makes the image 10-15% larger, that should display the whole image. For example, if you had a 150 dpi image that was 640x480, you could put a 10% border on it so the final image was 704x528.

  • Menu and Buttons not showing up!?!

    OK. I was trying to burn a iDVD project on my dual G5 desktop w/iDVD5. I would get "there's an error while rendering". After fiddling with it for a day and getting no where, I switched to my laptop (G4/1.25ghz/10.4.8) with iDVD6.0.3. I started to re-assemble the project and the Themes button appears with the themes, the Media button appears with the media, but both the Menu and Buttons buttons show up with nothing but a empty white area! I need to reposition some buttons, but I can't.
    Please help.

    This frequently helps solve some problems. Quit iDVD. Search for the file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and trash it. (A new one will be created next launch of iDVD.) Or look in: User/Library/Preferences. This may solve project loading errors too. Restart and use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.
    You'll need to reset some Preferences.
