My screen view is terrible - text is much less legible than in IE

I just changed from Internet Explorer to Firefox, and my screen view is terrible. The text is thin, and not very legible. Is there a setting that needs to be changed? This is in gmail, the screen I am viewing now in Firefox, and comcast. Does not seem to be a problem with Word documents ( not internet)

You can enable ClearType system wide for all programs to make other programs like Firefox use it.

Spotlight in Yosemite contains much less items than in previous OS X versions

I'm using Spoltlight very much and it was good in previous versions of OS X, but now scrolling needed much often.. that's sad.
Maybe there is some way to make Spotlight window bigger/taller?

Screen View has changed to plain text and I don't know why or how to get it to return to a normal view

My screen view has changed to a plain text yesterday and I do not understand why. I did not make any changes. I did not install any new programs. I did install to updates from Neat Works and Quick Time. Also ran PC clean up by AVG.

Transition Problems in Full Screen View

Hi.
I've created a Powerpoint presentation on the Bayeux Tapestry which I now want to convert to a PDF document so that I can add multimedia.
My Powerpoint presentation features photographs of a section the tapestry with each photograph placed on a separate slide. I've used the Powerpoint 'push left' transition to create a panoramic effect which creates the illusion that the tapestry is being scrolled from right to left as the viewer clicks through the presentation. It all works very well in Powerpoint as the slides butt up against each other in transition without any 'seam' between them.
I thought I could simply replicate the effect in Acrobat 9 by converting the presentation to PDF and selecting the 'push left' transition from Advance/Document Processing options then launching the document in full screen view. However, I've found that using a push left transition in Acrobat creates wacking great gaps between the pages as they scroll right to left: this absolutely ruins the whole effect.
As you can probably tell, I'm pretty much a newbie with Acrobat 9 (but not with other Adobe applications) and I can't work out for the life of me how to get around this problem. Is there someting simple that I'm overlooking on the full screen view options or perhaps in the Powerpoint conversion settings or do I have to start adjusting resolutions etc? Or maybe it's just the nature ofthe beast (do hope not)?
I'd be very grateful for any enlightenment or advice.
PS: Forgot to mention the Powerpoint was created in default landscape layout and hence so is the PDF.

Do you have the PDF version to fill the full screen and not leave borders? If you print to PDF (not create PDF), then a margin is added by default (as when you print to paper). The border can be reduced to 0, but that is an extra step with the print. As I recall, the PDF Maker (create PDF) does not include the margins. Thus the whole margin bit may be the issue.

How can I change the background colour when working on a doc in full screen view (pages)?

Recently I have been working on docs without the distraction of having to see my desktop around my page file by using the full screen view in pages. I do find the contrast to an all black screen too harsh though and it makes my eyes more tired than seeing the clutter of my desktop around the page. Is there any way I can change the background colour?
Any help much appreciated!

When you are in Full screen mode move the cursor up to the top to show the Format bar. Then look to the far right. There you'll see Background and a rectangle. Click on the rectangle and change the colour.
For information on Pages download the Pages User Guide from your Pages Help menu.

ICal screen view

I’ve been using a ‘Palm Pilot’ for scheduling daily and weekly appointments for the last four years with much success and find their ‘weekly’ screen view most helpful. Now I’ve discovering that iPhone/iCal doesn’t have a ‘weekly’ screen view -- only the ‘daily’ or monthly’ view. Is there any way to adjust the iPhone/iCal program to view a weekly view?
I’ve also noticed that I can change the color code of events only on my computer version of iCal – not on the iPhone iCal, what gives?

Old thread, but thanks, Jason. I do find it interesting that, +"...calendar color syncing is not supposed to match when calendars are synced using iTunes."+ That implies that someone developing the code for the calendar syncing process explicitly thought that colors _should not_ match. I'd be interested to understand the logic behind such a thought - personally, I cannot fathom it... The only possible reason I can think of is suggested by the second part of your statement, +"They will match when pushed using MobileMe,"+ i.e. as an intentional way to drive MobileMe subscriptions. But really, that makes no sense either (i.e. very few people would pay $100/year solely to get iCal colors to match). So, as I've stated elsewhere, the kbase article doesn't really provide "more information," but instead, seems to be an excuse for a bug in the sync process.

*A: "Because we said so."*

When I press on a land line number, the phone does not call the number, but comes up with a screen to send a text to it. How do I get my phone to default to phoneing a landline?

When I press on a land line number, the phone does not call the number, but comes up with a screen to send a text to it. How do I get my phone to default to phoneing a landline? When I press a mobile number in contacts, the phone automatically phones the number. I do not mind this as I hardly ever send texts, but I would like to have the option of what to do. This seems such an obvious issue but I can not solve it even with much web searching. Thanks!

I can't delete my question, so I'll just say that you press on the type of number written in the box to the left of the box you typye the number into. Dumb or what?

7.4 changed my full screen view of videos

I updated to iTunes 7.4 this morning after realizing most of the new features are useless to me who has no iPod or iPhone, but I did see mention of full screen support (and couldn't remember if that was new or not.)
I played a couple of videos going from command-0 to command-3 and then command-F and back again, getting inconsistent results (ending up with command-F giving me a small video view in an entirely black background.
Not only that, the thumbnail for one of my videos, changed from its former image to a solid green screen, (although the video still plays when clicked on.)
I went back to my daughter's PC with iTunes 7.3.2.6 and noted that I have complete control of the same videos from the command-0 setting all the way to command-F (full screen view) and back and forth without weirdness.
Anyone else note similar quirks with 7.4 full screen support?

Well, I have solved part of my problem - in Preferences>Playback, I changed "Play movies and TV shows" and "Play music videos" to "in a separate window" and the sizing issue seems to have settled down. Command-F seems to have a toggle action.
Choosing Command-0, command-1, command-2, command-3 steps up from smallest size to "fit to screen" size and then command-F takes you to full screen mode. but hitting command-F again then takes you back to "double size (command-2) although the menu shows View>Fit to screen command-3 as selected. Weird.
Choosing one of the other selections, say double size (command-2) repeatedly just sets that size on the first attempt and then on later repeats of command-2 it just flashed the "View" menu item without toggling to another size (and continues to display View>Double size command-2 as it should.
So the remaining question I guess is how to get my thumbnail view back from the green screen. How is that image selected anyway? It doesn't appear to be the first frame of the video necessarily.
And here I am back later editing this after reading the iTunes Help stuff. I fixed this by control-clicking on the frame I liked and then selecting "Set Poster Frame" from the dropdown.
So overall, not much to complain about other than the weirdness with video sizing and command-F

In PSE4, F11 (full screen view) deselects current image

I hesistate to put this in "suggested features" in case there is a trick I do not know about.
If I am in organizer and decide I would like to have a better look at the currently selected photo, I press F11 for a full screen view.
When I press Esc to get back, not only has my image been deselected, but the thumbnail pane has jumped back to the top so the image of interest is not even on the screen.
This means I have to remember the file name and scroll down again looking for it to get back to where I was.
Is there a way around this?
It would also be nice if the filename could be displayed while in full screen mode as many of my images do not have captions set. And a caption may not uniquely identify the particular file anyway.

Thanks Codebreaker for the "Alt+Enter" trick - that helps a lot.
Brian has isolated the problem well. I was a bit confused that things sometimes seemed to work OK. Unfortunately, showing only files in the selected folder is my preferred mode to make scrolling the thumbnails up and down a bit easier.
It would be nice to think the problem may be solved in a future update, but for now, knowing what is going on makes it easier to get on with the job.
I do not think the other bug, jumping thumbnails, is related because in that case F5 corrects the problem (which it does not do in this case).
I do not quite understand Karin's suggestion. My "Back" button (top left of screen) is greyed out much of the time anyway.

Full-screen view in PSE 12?

When I am editing a photograph in PSE 12, I would like to be able to expand the photo I'm working on periodically while I'm working on it, such that I can see, full screen, what the actual results of my manipulations in the picture will be. I can't find any way to [easily] get Photoshop Elements 12 to go to a full-screen view (and then to go right back into the working, image-adjusting views to continue with the various processings). Any way to do this right within PSE 12, without leaving PSE to look at the emerging image in another program??
Thank you for any assistance,

Thank you, R_Kelly!
I'm using Windows 7 (on PC), so I *can* do the procedure you described (and have tried it just now)...
I do like this "floating window" setting, for several reasons, and think it will be quite useful, so I thank you very much for your reply!
But... While doing this does indeed eliminate the outside-the-image clutter and therefore makes the image-in-progress somewhat easier to assess, it doesn't really do anything to make the image fill the entire monitor screen (as I can easily do with most other photo viewers). I'm getting the feeling that an entire-screen image isn't doable in PSE 12 at all (why the heck wouldn't they put that in??), so probably doing the floating-window-maximized thing is about as close as I'm going to get to what I really want to do. Better than nothing, I suppose, but I really don't understand why they (Adobe) would leave out such an obviously useful/important option.
Thank you, though. Did learn something I know will be helpful~~

Colors different in full screen view

I could as well post this under "Mac OS X", but I think here in the Aperture forum it is more likely to get help.
I have the following problem: when viewing images in full screen mode, their colors are different than in the normal windows mode. The difference is not subtle, but severe. For example blue skies have a lot more red and appear much more saturated.
While trying to narrow down this problem I found out the following (and here it starts to get really strange): I exported one image as a JPEG to the desktop to see what the colors would be. The thumbnail then had the oversaturated colors of the full screen view in Aperture. When clicking on it, Preview showed the correct colors with a normal blue sky. When switching to slideshow mode in Preview, again the oversaturated colors from Aperture full screen came up.
When I disconnect my 23" Cinema Display, the full screen view of Preview shows the same colors on my PB like in window mode. So I believe it has something to do with my 23" CD.
Can anybody come up with a good explanation for this behaviour? Could this be some kind of a profile problem?
Any help appreciated
PB G4/1.5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) Aperture 1.1.1

I read Zausel's post that referred to the Colorsync Utility. Under the Devices tab I was able to see both my monitors and confirm they were both assigned the proper profile (they were). There is an option to "Make Default Display" in this utility. I noticed it was defaulting to the Color LCD of the MacBook Pro. I had already set my 23" to my main screen in the display control panel by dragging the menu bar to the big screen in the layout tab. I selected the 23" screen in Colorsync Utility and selected it as the "Make Default Display". Now my full screen previews are accurate. Aperture must use the display profile for normal view screens, thumbnails, light table, but change to the default display profile when it does full screen. (previously, it was using the profile for the 15" MBPro screen for full screen views; thus the inaccurate color) Now everything is in sync and my color looks good on the big display in both normal view and in full screen. Hope this helps someone else.

How to Remove maximize/minimize/close top-bar in full-screen view [MAC]?

Hi.
My Q. is pretty much as the title implies.
It's a small thing, and maybe kind of trivial,
but I'd like to know how to get rid of the maximize/minimize/close top-bar in full-screen view in Adobe Reader on the Mac.
I am definitely in fullscreen view [I hit command+L], just so you know,
but I still have that top grey bar showing with the maximize/minimize/close buttons [the red, yellow, and green].
As I said, kind of a trivial concern, but I'd like to know how to hide that in full-screen mode.
I tried searching around a few places for an answer, but there is nothing too obvious.
I can't find anything in the full-screen preferences of reader either. Maybe I'm missing something...
Thanks!

Version 11.0 , so I guess that is the most recent?
I think this is an application-specific problem too, because I don't encounter this in full-screen mode with other applications.

Exporting file to pdf and screen view file dark, print file ok

I am using Mac Pages as a document editor and basic design tool. Exported pdf files look great on screen on first view, and when opened in Mac preview or even when viewed on the PC as a preview of the file. As soon as the file is opened with Adobe Reader on both pc and mac, I have an issue with the text blocks being changed to dark and unreadable. The file prints fine, but screen view is not readable. I am using the files as a linked file to be viewed on screen and need the .pdf file to be readable on screen with Adobe Reader as designed, without color and text changes.

I am looking at the original file and I see that one of the blocks is a white background text block with black text and the other is a dark background with white text. There is a 3rd text block that is a purple color with white text and the 3rd is fine, the other white and dark background and text turn dark and unreadable. Preview still shows the file OK, but not with Reader.

I wish an Ipad. Is it possible to work on the screen with 2 application toghether (2 Pages file in the same screen view) ?

I wish an Ipad. Is it possible to work on the screen with 2 files toghether (ex: 2 Pages files in the same screen view) ?
I need to make some transalations and so it's important for me to have the english text and the italian version that I am making, on the same screen view.
Thank You.

No. You cannot work on two Pages files in the same window. It is not possible to have multiple windows on the screen at the same time in iOS.
