Openbox Theming Questions - ( titlebar button size)

I'm trying to tweak an openbox theme that is finger friendly for my daughter's touchscreen and I've run into a question:
I know we can change the image of the .xdm for the titlebar buttons but can we change the size so that it fits a taller titlebar?
I can't see anything in the .themerc, obconf, or obtheme to do so but I hope I'm just missing it somewhere. It seems weird that I can easily increase the size of the titlebar but not the buttons.
Thanks.

I have solved moving a window by dragging the title bar with the following openbox configuration, which is located in ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml on my machine:
<context name="Titlebar">
<mousebind button="Left" action="Drag">
<action name="if">
<maximized>yes</maximized>
<then>
<action name="Unmaximize"/>
<action name="MoveResizeTo">
<y>0</y>
</action>
</then>
</action>
<action name="Move"/>
</mousebind>
<mousebind button="Left" action="DoubleClick">
<action name="ToggleMaximizeFull"/>
</mousebind>
</context>
After holding down the left mouse button on the title bar and moving the mouse, the window is unmaximized and moved to the top of the desktop with the actions Unmaximize and MoveResizeTo. Unmaximizing and moving to the top is only done, if the window is maximized. Then in each case the action Move starts the modus for moving the window with the mouse. This configuration simulates nearly the same behavior as in Windows 7 while dragged the title bar with the left mouse button.
After a left double click on the title bar, the action ToggleMaximizeFull switches the window state once between maximized and unmaximized.

Exported To FLash 8 - MC question Radio Button Size?

I have a quiz that uses MC and T or F questions - I am
exporting it to flash to integrate it with some other content.
I have everything working at this point, except I need to
increase the font size of the question Radio buttons and everything
i have tried so far hasn't worked. I am guessing it is somewhere in
the captivate quiz class files but i havent been able to track it
down.

Thanks for the response.
After i posted I kept digging and found where the code is
that sets the font for the Radio buttons in the quizzes when you do
an export to flash. What I found out is listed below in case anyone
else ever needs the information- hopefully it will save someone
else some time.
The ".as" file is --
C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME HERE\Local
Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash
8\en\Configuration\Classes\AdobeCaptivate\quiz\CpMultipleChoice.as
Strating at line 106 there is the following code
p._font.name = "Arial";
p._font.size = 12;
p._name = "" + numAnswers;
I was then able to make the font size larger to match the
other text on the screen (i do have to say it's rather annoying
that those attributes don't get exported from the captivate file,
because i set the font properties before exporting - but i guess
there is probably a reason for that)

Please help me...Why the buttons size change?

Hi!!!
I have a doubt with respect the buttons size, because with the following code i show 2 buttons that comprise the whole panel in a row:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.tree.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
public class x1 extends JApplet {
public void init() {
Container contentPane = getContentPane();
contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
JPanel jp= new JPanel();
jp.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(10,10,10,10));
jp.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,2,5,5));
JButton b1= new JButton("Button 1");
jp.add(b1);
JButton b2= new JButton("Button 2");
jp.add(b2);
contentPane.add(jp,BorderLayout.NORTH);
But when i do other separated class with the buttons creation, my buttons appear in the center without comprising the whole panel in a rengl�n.....why happen it?.....i would like to obtain the same effect like the first code....how can i reach that?.....
This is the applet code when i do the separated class with the buttons creation applet:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.tree.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
public class x2 extends JApplet {
public void init() {
Container contentPane = getContentPane();
contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
contentPane.add(new jbuttons(),BorderLayout.NORTH);
class jbuttons extends JPanel {
public jbuttons() {
JPanel jp= new JPanel();
jp.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(10,10,10,10));
jp.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,2,5,5));
JButton b1= new JButton("Button 1");
jp.add(b1);
JButton b2= new JButton("Button 2");
jp.add(b2);
add(jp);
Could somebody help me please?.....Thanks in advance....
Mary

Mary,
Your second class (jbuttons) actually contains TWO panels: "this" as well as the jp panel. The jp panel is in this case unnecessary.
Although the sizing of the jp panel is set correctly, the "this" panel is still set to "flow" layout and will not give you the desired result.
Try rewriting your second class this way:
class jbuttons extends JPanel {
public jbuttons() {
this.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(10,10,10,10));
this.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,2,5,5));
JButton b1= new JButton("Button 1");
this.add(b1);
JButton b2= new JButton("Button 2");
this.add(b2);
Hope this helps!

Question Slide Buttons

I have an assessment that I created that uses a combines
question slides with interactive slides. I would like all of the
slides to uniform. The question slides were automatically created
with buttons to Back, Skip and Submit. These slides also added a
review area and a text box with question 1 of 15. I would like to
add these items to the interactive slides, but the program does not
allow these items to be copied. Can these items be added to a slide
not created as a question slide? If so, how is this done?

Hi Carol
Taking your questions one by one:
-- You can change the standard quiz question buttons (Clear,
Back, Next, and Submit) by double-clicking them and changing the
button settings. This enables you, for example, to change them to
Image buttons (as in Rick's demo).
-- You can't remove the navigation (defined on the Options
tab in the Question properties dialog) from the Success and Failure
captions -- it is built in
-- You can't add your own custom navigation buttons to quiz
questions using buttons or click boxes -- these options are greyed
out on question slides -- so you have to make use of the regular
quiz question buttons
-- The difference between the Skip (sometimes labelled Next)
button and the Submit button is that it navigates directly to the
next slide without submitting an answer to the current slide. When
the button is labelled Next, users often click this button in error
without realizing that they have failed to submit their selection
as an answer.
-- I'm afraid I have no experience of the blue asterisks
resulting from the hot spot Quiz slides. I'd be interested in what
others have to say about this issue.
Best regards,
-Matthew

RH 9 - Can I edit browse sequence button sizes in a CHM?

I'm quite sure this is NOT possible, but I promised my localization coordinator, I'd ask.
The issue is that we have localized strings (from RH, not from our translators) that are overlapping on the Next and Previous buttons in some languages in the Browse Sequences. Like this:
I've looked, but I don't see a way to expand the button sizes. I know we can change the .lng file to use different (possibly shorter) terms than what RH picked for these, but a better solution would be to adjust the GUI for text expansion in localized languages.

Sorry Jared
All that functionality is embedded inside the guts of the HHActiveX.DLL file.
Cheers... Rick

Best Practice Buttons? and Swing Button Sizes

Hi,
I am wondering what the best way to make a custom styled button was....
Since I need my own style of button (width,height,background image, selected, clicked) I thought I would use Swing buttons with a Synth style. However, when I place swing buttons inside a CustomNode, all of the button widths, heights, x, y settings are discarded. I can understand the x/y being discarded as the component location should become relative and set by the wrapping CustomNode. I can also understand this because I can set the positions with translateX and translateY. However, I can't see how I can set a width and height of the swing button from inside the CustomNode.
Can this be done?
Alternatively, I don't mind using an alternative to the swing button however this is the only button I can see in JavaFX.
Thanks for reading

Ok, looks like I can wrap the button's inside a group, stage eta Node wrapper. Then I can preserve the button sizes and can produce relative/translatable positioning of the group/stage. This I understand and find to be a good feature. One thing that does concern me is that with the Swing button's - the Synth styles are not correctly applied. No matter what I do I can not get button text color to change. Changing the background mostly works but the text label styling is completely ignored.

How to change the button size of Calendar prompt

I want to change the button size in Calendar prompt. How to change it?
Thank you!

I think it is not necessary to modify the Calendar button size.
The Calendar button actual size is 20X20.
But the gif file which is used by Calendar button is not filled by icon.
It seems that the height is smaller than the other buttons.

3 questions about texture sizes

Hi there all,
I have 3 questions about texture sizes. First off, after
doing a search in this forum, I found out how to find the maxium
texture size my hardware can handle. However, this is only
currently tells me what the texture size I should use for my
computer. So basically, what my first question is, I wanted to know
what would be the average texture size for PC's. Why I ask this is
because arfter doing the command that finds my maxium texture size
that my computer can handle, it says that I can handle up to
2048x2048, but this doesn't help if lets say the standard hardware
texture size is 1024x1024.
My second question is, when you speak in maxium hardware
texture size terms, is this for per object, per scene that is
loaded into memory, or for the entire game?
... and my last question is, does hardware texture size also
include basic shaders as well (meaning with no textures)? If not is
there a limit on that as well?

1. If you know what maximum texturesize the endusers
graficcard can handle, you can build a switch to different *.w3d
files with that are saved with different texturesizes. you can see
how the hardware variates:
http://nuttybar.drama.uga.edu/pipermail/dir3d-l/2005-September/009554.html
but don't forget that the macs are limited at the moment to a
maximum texturesize of 512x512. If the textures are bigger then the
maximum texturesize they are scaled down to it. In your example a
texture that is 2048x2048 would be scaled down to 1048x1048 if this
is the maximum texturesize of the endusers machine.
2. The maximum texturesize is per Texture. But the Textures
are stored uncompressed in the VRAM of the graficcard. There is no
way to check how much RAM is left and i am not sure what happens if
you put a lot of data in it.
3. A shader only layers textures like photoshop and renderes
them depending on the settings of the shader. The maximum hardware
texture size only limits the size of the texture, if you use no
textures in the shader (setting all texturelayers to void) the
model will be only rendered depending on the values that are given
by "ambient", "emissive", "diffuse", "specular"
Just want to add here that textures should be in this sizes:
1x1, 2x2, 4x4, 8x8, 16x16, 32x32, 64x64, 128x128, 256x256,
512x512, 1024x1024, 2048x2048, 4096x4096 ...
but can be also be combined like this:
32x1024 or 512x256 and so on. this is just good to know.
If textures do not fit into this grid of pixel values, the
texture will be scaled up or down to the next size that is closest
to it.
if you type this code into the message window and execute
every line, you can check the resulting texturesize.
global pImage
pImage=image(100, 1000, 24)
member("world").newtexture("image", #fromimageobject, pImage)
put member("world").texture("image").width
-- 128
put member("world").texture("image").height
-- 1024
This will happen to all textures if they enter the
graficcard.

Openbox script-drag titlebar to unmaximize, help with last step?

Hey all,
I really missed the feature in other WM's where one could drag a maximized window out of maximize and have it restore to the original size. I have written a small shell script to get the size of the current window and then implemented it in rc.xml. The only little issue is that, for some reason, when restoring from the values originally saved, the window comes out of the "maximized" state but retains the maximized dimensions. In other words, I can drag it out of "maximized' but it stays big, and does not go back to the original saved size. Any thoughts?
getdimcur.sh
#!/bin/bash
activew="$(xwininfo -id $(xdotool getactivewindow)|awk '/Width/ {print $2}')"
activeh="$(xwininfo -id $(xdotool getactivewindow)|awk '/Height/ {print $2}')"
echo -en "$activew $activeh" > /home/ts/scripts/curwin/curwindim
rc.xml snippet
<context name="Titlebar">
<mousebind button="Left" action="DoubleClick">
<action name="Execute">
<command>bash /home/ts/scripts/curwin/getdimcur.sh</command>
</action>
<action name="Execute">
<command>wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b toggle,maximized_vert,maximized_horz</command>
</action>
</mousebind>
<mousebind button="Left" action="Drag">
<action name="if">
<maximized>yes</maximized>
<then>
<action name="Execute">
<command>wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b remove,maximized_vert,maximized_horz</command>
</action>
<action name="Execute">
<command>bash /home/ts/scripts/curwin/restorewin.sh/</command>
</action>
</then>
</action>
<action name="Move"/>
</mousebind>
</context>
restorewin.sh
xdotool getactivewindow windowsize $(cat /home/ts/scripts/curwin/curwindim|awk '{print $1}') $(cat /home/ts/scripts/curwin/curwindim|awk '{print $2}')
Testing these commands in terminal individually is successful, so what am I missing?
Thank you.

Adobe Captivate - Multiple Choice Quiz Question - Radio Button and Text Alignment

I have created a quiz with multiple choice questions.
No matter what I do I cannot align the radio button and the text for the choices (see below).
I would like to align the center of the radio button with the center of the letter A) and B).
I have tried every option that I can think of in the Properties options.
Please let me know if anyone has a solution for this.
Thank you

Thanks for the reply.
Previously I tried several different combinations of fonts and font sizes, but didn't see any change.
Does anyone else know of anything else that could effect this situation?

Menu Button Size is off

Hi everyone, I am new here but been using Dreamweaver about 2 years off and on. I am very much the amateur. I figure a lot of things out by "doing" and other things I will sit and read til I can build it myself.
My question. I am using the Dreamweaver CS5 2 column, liquid, header and footer layout. It has the "built in menu" and I am trying to put smaller buttons in. I had these big, clunky looking things so I get the bright idea just to make smaller ones and they'll change auto in my template. Worked great accept they still came out big and clunky only stretched from their normal size.
Anyone know what happened and a "fix" for that?
Thank you much,
My site is tocatchamiracle.com The old "clunky" buttons are still showing there. I think a screenshot would be good so I will go see if I am allowed that in the forums.

Screen cap is no help. The answer is A L W A Y S in the code.
Your code calls for image to display at 36 high by 161 wide.
<img height="36" width="161" border="0" id="Home" name="Home" alt="Takes you back to my homepage" src="http://www.tocatchamiracle.com/buttons/upstatehome.png">
Is this the size you want?

Question about Button and TextBox positions

Hello everybody,
I just started using Borland Together 6.1 extended with Java and I want to design a UserForm (an Application), especially a Online Bank terminal, where u can input and output different data. My problem is that when I add buttons and textboxes from the toolbox menu, I cannot put then on the place I want, I'm restricted to some positions (center, right, left, west, east and so on). My question is how can I create my elements on the position I want, how can I resize them. Could someone tell me some specific functions, which I should use.
Thankx

You should try to find a LayoutManager that suits you. If you can't find one, you can set the Layout to null, then use absolute positioning.
setLayout(null);
yourComponent.setLocation(50, 50);
yourComponent.setSize(40, 20);You need to set both the location and size of components when the layout is null.

New to apple, question about font sizes on show bookmarks pages

Former windows user, trying to get used to this beautiful new imac! When I am on the safari page, in the show all bookmarks page, the font is so small, and buttons to increase the size are disabled on the page! I know there must be a way to make the print bigger but how?
Thanks to all.. I think I'm learning more from reading these forums than with all the help pages.

Very sound advice (as always) Barry.
I (very briefly) considered offering the Terminal/Defaults route, but thought that Safari Enhancer was the lesser of two evils. Safari Enh does not need to be kept running after changes (like the bookmark font size) are made. & I believe most of it's functions within Safari are made by simply altering the plist file - so getting back a default configuration is very simple.... just reset safari.
keveliz : Barry's is good advice. I wouldn't put safari enhancer in the " ...here be dragons" or 'addicted to haxies' class myself... because it's just a program that you run & close afterwards - it doesn't carry on, (possibly) brewing trouble in the background.
I haven't been using Apples even a year now - but pc's & 6502 / 6800 & onwards micros since err, 1980..... & fwiw I personally think safari-enh is much safer than most 3rd party fixers ( which isn't saying much! - so Yep, I'd recommend it based on my usage )- there's good support, a useful discussions forum; although previous versions ( presumably sorted now?) could be annoying due to setting non-std options that you hadn't specifically checked - a problem if you're just starting & you wouldn't know what was a default setting & what wasn't.
None of which is intended to disagree with Barry's note of caution - be careful out there.
