Open App Without Window Decoration - XFWM

Hi everyone!
I'd like to know how can I open an application without titleborder, specifically "Opera"
I've already tried with Devil's pie and it's not working.
I don't know why I'm having issues with compiz, so I can't use it either.
I think is something very easy I just don't know how, I guess maybe something like a gtk configuration.
I also tried with maximize but I don't want to install gnome dependencies, and also I only want it to work for opera.
Thank you

Almost every NLE has a simple keyboard command to open a blank document upon launch. It's usually as simple as option-launch.
It is often crucial to being able to diagnose serious media issues. Absolutely necessary in the olden days of SCSI media storage.
We've been asking for this for years. Didn't it ever get done?

SGD 4.31 : How to display applications without window decoration

Hi,
I'm trying to display an application in a independant window without window decoration.
The kiosk mode doesn't fit because the window cannot be resize.
Is it possible ?
Thks for your help.

May be you can clarify what "window decoration" mean.
If you are seeing two sets of window control (minimize, maximize, close) in the top right hand, then verify that:
- application is indeed configured for seamless windows
- on the application server, there's a ttasw process running for that user
If you are still unable to get seamless window to work, try rebooting your windows application server.

Fn+F8 (''show currently open apps'') in Windows 7?

I plan to buy a Lenovo G500, which features a function on the F8 key ''show all open apps''. As I understand that the term ''apps'' is commonly associated with Windows 8, so what will happen if you press it in Windows 7? Thanks in advance.

Hi TMHKR,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m glad to hear that you are planning to buy G500 Laptop; the Fn+F8 feature is same in Windows 7 as well as Windows 8. It performs the similar action like Winkey+TAB does displaying all the running applications and Windows opened in the computer.
Do post us back for further queries.
Best Regards
Shiva Kumar

Opening apps/Safari windows-want them to open behind current window ?

Ok, maybe small beer, but, when I open a Safari window from, for eg, google reader, the new window opens in front of my current Safari window, the window I am reading. This means that it covers my current window, which is annoying, to me. Similarly, when I open an application, the new app insists on coming to the front, and interrupting my work. As I said, small beer, but annoying.
Is there a way to make all new Safari windows and new apps start 'behind' the currently active window/app?

No. Why are you opening new windows when you don't want to act in them? Don't open them and you won't be disturbed.

My iPad won't open apps without crashing

Hi,
My iPad mini (1st gen) keeps crashing as soon as I open apps. I've tried resetting and turning on and off but this doesn't do anything. I'm trying to restore but iTunes say I can't because "Find my iPad" is turned on and tells me to turn it off in the iCloud settings on my iPad but obviously I cannot do this as the Settings app crashes when I try to open it. I am on the latest operating system (iOS 8.3)

You should be able to do a reboot, hold both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, then release the buttons and let the mini complete its startup routine.
If that does not help, you can login to your iCloud account from a computer or another device that has the Find My Phone app installed, go to Find My Phone, and remove the iPad Mini from the devices list. That will free it so you can to deeper reset.

Open app without admin password

I'm trying to set up the Wireshark application so that it can be used without an admin password. This program needs super-user access to capture network packets, but a work around is provided in the documentation here: http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/CapturePrivileges
I followed the steps there with ChmodBPF, and I double checked that the permission are correct.
The capture part isn't even really necessary. All I really need Wireshark to do is read previously saved session files.
The problem is that the application just won't open without an administrative password. The only information that it will give me is that the rights for the app are set to "system.privileges.admin". Is that something you can change?

With the keychain you have to associate the password with an account and I have a couple hundred accounts that need to be able to use this program with out an admin password.
I'd just like to change the permissions for the application and can't figure out how.

HT204053 I used to use my dads apple id, I had to make a new one, Now it wont let me download,update or open apps without needing the password for his apple id which I don't know anymore?

Help

Apps are permanently linked to the Apple ID used for download and cannot be transferred to another. You have to use yourdad's ID or redownload under your own so you will the own the apps.

HT4623 I just updated to 8.02 and now my iPad randomly opens apps, new windows, kicks me out of wifi and the screen "jumps" constantly. Is anyone else having these problems? How can I fix it?

Update issues with iOS 8.02

the apple store replaced my ipad4 that experienced similar misbehavior ... the replacement now works well.
but before the replacement, they had me completely RESTORE the ipad to factory, which will put it into ios 8.0.2.
(remember to logout of icloud and turn off 'find my phone' first)
then rebuild by downloading your apps and NOT using your backups.
if the ipad continues to misbehave then most likely it's a hardware issue.

How to clear open apps from Iphone after newest update

How do you close open apps after this newest update.

Thank You.....
Why they (apple) decided to change the way to close open apps WITHOUT letting us "other" users know (non iPhone 5 users, lol) is a mystery, but your information is correct. Thank you for saving my minutes

Keystroke command to close all apps (without restart or shutdown):

Hate to ask what is probably a simple issue, but I can't find a keystroke command that will close all open apps without restart or shutdown... just close everything that is open and let me continue or shut the lid to sleep ...
Anyone know one? or a way to do a command in iKey?
thanks,
tom

logout will do this. Of course you have to log in again afterwards, but it will kill all user-related processes.

Xfce & Compiz & Emerald - no window decorations

Hi, I'm having a problem with my fresh installation of Archlinux i686. I choosed my favourite desktop environment - Xfce4, but I'm not able to get it working with Emerald and Compiz. When I try "emerald --replace" Emerald won't load and I don't see any error message either. On the other hand when I try running "compiz --replace ccp && emerald --replace &" my window decorations disappear and I see this in my console:
compiz (cube) - Warn: Failed to load slide: freedesktop
compiz (video) - Warn: No 8 bit GLX pixmap format, disabling YV12 image format
fuse: failed to access mountpoint compiz: No such file or directory
The result is the same with or without Window decorations Compiz plugin turned on or off. Only thing that can save my ass is running "xfwm4 --replace" which restores xfwm4 and kills both Emerald an Compiz.

Every package in my system is updated to its newest versions (as I said, my system is freshly installed).
And yes, I UTFGed (a lot), but I haven't found any answer that would work for me (partially maybe because most of topics on this matter are more than one year old).
Can anyone help me, please? I'm pretty desperate. Thanks in advance.

How Can I Simulate Double-Clicking A File To Open It In The Default App Without Installing Default App?

I have an app written with Visual Studio 2013. The app has code for opening a file using the standard OpenFileDialog and also has code (AutoOpenFile()) for opening a file when a user double-clicks on a file that is handled by the app. I have not yet created
an installer for the app, so I won't be able to test it's AutoOpenFile() code...unless there is a way to simulate the process of auto-opening the double-clicked file without actually installing the app on my PC. Anyone?

Thanks for your reply, Wyck. I already have the necessary code in my app for opening a file when I double-click on it. The problem is that the app is not currently installed on my PC. Until I do install it, is there a way I can test-run that code
by double-clicking on an associated file?
You lost me at: you want to test-run code that is not on your PC.
O_o
You want to double-click a file, and then...what do you want to have happen? You want to run...something...that is not on your PC??
The "simulation" is to launch your app from the command line and pass in the name of the file you wanted to simulate a "double-click" of.
Regardless, you cannot get the shell to have a double-click of a file cause your application to launch unless you modify the registry to do so. (This is tantamount to "install" to me.)
In the spirit of continuing to be helpful, though, I'll assume that this is what you want to do and I'll show you how to get it done with the least amount of tampering with your registry.
Here are minimally invasive registry modifications you need to make to get it to launch a program when you double-click your file. It's pretty small.
EXAMPLE ONLY:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.wyck]
@="Wyck.Document"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wyck.Document\shell\open\command]
@="c:\\windows\\system32\\notepad.exe \"%1\""
[You have to save the above with your appropriate modifications to a file with the
.reg extension (e.g.: test.reg) and then you'll have to double-click the test.reg file to "merge" these settings into your registry.]
The example above registers a file extension called .wyck and assigns a completely arbitrary class name to it called
Wyck.Document.
Then it associates a shell open command with the Wyck.Document class that causes
notepad.exe to be passed the filename of the file you double-clicked (that's what the
%1 does). You are welcome to replace all the specific names with your own extensions and class names and replace notepad.exe with the path to your (test) executable.
This executable will be launched, but not with a debugger attached. To facilitate debugging it, you'll want to temporarily add some code to your program to pause when the program launches, possibly by showing a message box right at the very beginning
of your main function that says "attach debugger now" so that you can attach a debugger to the process that was started by the shell, and then dismiss the message box and continue debugging.
When you are done with your testing, you can simply manually delete those two registry keys using
regedit.

Is there anyway to get an App Tab to stay when I close the program then reopen it?...they always disappear when I open a new window etc.

Is there anyway to get an App Tab to stay when I close the program then reopen it?...they always disappear when I open a new window etc.
And I thought the whole point of an App Tab was to always have those tabs there no matter what window is open all the time period.
It's a minor complaint but I would really appreciate the option to permanently have them there.

I thought that app tabs would be more persistent, like pinning programs to the taskbar in Windows, but this is not the case.
Instead, once you close a Firefox window, all its tabs and app tabs are lost.
Essentially, this means that the close button in the upper-left corner of a Firefox window is now a "kill all open tabs and loose all App Tabs without warning++ " button. That is not cool.
I realize that "Firefox > Quit Firefox" behaves as intended, but many people use the more obvious red close button instead of the menu to close windows on a Mac. And it is easy to forget that the red button is now also an app-tab-death button. I've lost my app tabs many times to this issue. It is an unforgiving user interface decision which hampers the usability of app tabs. Why should I go through the extra clicks of setting up app tabs if I can loose them so easily?
Ideally, App Tabs could be saved separately from the currently open windows (perhaps create an option to save then to a special Tab Group that opens on startup?). App tabs would be exceedingly useful to me if they weren't so easy to loose.
On that note, saving Tab Groups would also be a useful functionality.
++ You will get a "closing multiple tabs" warning if you have only one window open, and that one window has multiple non-app tabs open, and you have enabled the warning in Preferences. But this too unreliable to help prevent the loss of app tabs.

How to distribute my windows phone 8 app and windows store app without publishing in the store

How to distribute my windows phone 8 app and windows store app without publishing in the store
any business license or enterprise license needed..
I am a windows developer talking behalf of my company i.e wipro
I have a question about the enterprise license and we are building an app for the limited users i.e our company employees and users and we do not want to publish in the store
How to release the app?
what are licenses etc needed?

Hi,
for developers distributing apps without Publishing in the Store, the sideloding Enterprise key license through volume licensing is required.
Starting May 1, 2014, customers who want to enable sideloading will be able to purchase an Enterprise Sideloading key for $100 through the Open License program.
An unlimited number of devices can be enabled for sideloading using this key.

Opening App in own new Window - Opinions please

Dear Community!
I would like to invite you to share your opinions on this idea - foremost in terms of user experience, but also technical implementation:
Like anybody I always have a number of browser-tabs open, but as an apex user (not developer) I probably have only one apex-app running. So my ideea was, to give the user a stronger experience of working with an Application rather than a website, and therefore open the app in a new window.
Once in a new window all apex functionalities, navigation etc. work as usual. Only the user can concentrate more on the content and is not distracted by all the other browserstuff around. (After all it's not just "some web site"... ) Also he has full independent controll over the window.
I have build this in a test scenario and invite you to try everything out.
With a cookie-controlled checkbox the user can determine, wether he wants it in the first place or not. (Then once allow popups for this site.)
Now it gets weird:
I want deeplinking to be possible, so the functionality for the opening process in contained in the page template.
Also I want, when the user accidentally or willingly returns to the initial browser, and the new window comes out of sight, there should be a button to bring that window back to the front.
For that, javascript has to store the window object on the page, that opened the new one, so it should stay active. But since to user "doesn't want to use" that "old" window in the browser tab, I have created an overlay region, to cover that entire page up - on the condition, that a new window is beeing opened. Just be feeling this is probably a pretty weird solution, but its working so far (see example above).
Javascript on every page::
var newwindow;
$(function(){
// when app-page is opened the first time, open new window. after that P0OPEN will be empty:
if ($v('P0OPEN') === 'Y') {
    var href = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:&APP_PAGE_ID.:&APP_SESSION.::::P0OPEN:',
        winw= window.innerWidth, winh = window.innerHeight;
    // cosmetics for positioning etc.
    var options = 'scrollbars=yes, width='+(winw*.8)+', height='+(winh*.8)+', top='+(winh*.1)+', left='+(winw*.1)
    newwindow = window.open(href, '_blank', options);
    // the button to bring the new window back to the front:
    $('#P0BTNFOCUSW').click(function(){
       if (newwindow && !newwindow.closed) {
           setTimeout(function(){ newwindow.focus(); },100) ;
       } else {
           // if window was closed, start new session:
           window.redirect('&LOGOUT_URL.');
Maybe its better to have an extra page just for that purpose, but how can I combine that with deeplinking AND the necessity to store the javascript-window-object?
Another problem unsolved is, that when the user logs out in the new window, that should certailnly disapear. Also, in that case: the window open in the initial tab should change too, that is: redirect to the login screen.
And probably there are a few more things to be considered...
So I will be very glad to hear all your oppinions and suggestions of any kind.
Thanks and greetings,
Tobi
(omg!! how can you get the formating for code??) (ok, thanks...)

Well, nothing wrong with trying and experimenting of course! It'd be interesting to have things react a bit more as a desktop app, but there is not really enough power to do so and that is mostly because of security reasons. Just like the popupblocker. Personally I'd rather not have to tell anyone to fiddle with a (any!) popupblocker. I think you can have a good looking 'app' without it though, and design (or, UI) helps a lot in that regard. I don't mean to place Google on a pedestal here, but I like the simplicity of the browser splashscreen for example. "Here are your app links. Want to open one? Cool, right away!". Want multiple? No issue, hold ctrl and click away. That's just plain basic browser usage and it leaves me the option. They could've also placed the target=blank tag in their anchors, but they didn't. And that's fine.
I wouldn't necessarily make it more complex than that though - like with auto-popup screens after a login, screening of a window from interaction, dealing with deeplinks.
I've seen some nice "app"-approaches for apex. I think the coolest are where there is a master app, with icons which open up the other applications. The authentication cookie is shared, the authentication scheme is subscription based. You can deeplink apps but if you don't have a deeplink you go to the splashscreen.
If you deeplinked then you meant to go there, and not first the splash which pops up something else. If you want to go there then there is a button in each app which will open up the splash app (and if you add target blank in there, in a new window).
I'd say there is a lot of room for innovation, and anything web is possible. But be careful with those things like popupblockers
And It's just one opinion of course. I'm sure there are wildly differing ones out there. (Who don't react) You could always try some more UX-UI oriented forums for some feedback in this regard!
