Quitting skype from the close windows button

Hi,
I was wondering is there a way, mod, circumvent, anything after years of pain of not being able to close skype from the upper right "X" button which should and used to close open windows.. I mean close as in quit & kill the process, not push it to background. Searched around and saw many older threads reagarding the matter, but didn't notice a solution.
Seems like a little thing but in my opinion is utterly useless and after years or bumbing your toe to the wall so to speak, it starts to get painful. This time I finally got annoyed enought to find a place to at least try to ask. Because of this "feature" alone I've wanted to change this program to anything other, but sadly skype in too popular use and thus not easily replaced among friends.
I know you can right click quit it from elsewhere, but why would i need to when the X closed programs over 20 years ago in windows 3.1, why is it so hard to have this as an option at the very least? Guess it is a matter of running ADs in the background and that is reasonable as long as the program is running and IN USE.. heck it is almost reasonable to set the X to minimize on default and have this very advanced "feature" hidden away in setting under pro settings if need be as long as it can be set from somewhere.
Can you somehow force to windows use the X as a default command close/quit/kill circumventing the program set minimize?
They have the same thing in spotify free it seems, does the x close the program after you get premium? Woulnd't surprise me..

Can you attach a screenshot?

Black window on start! In fact, it's all black except the close window button!

Hi! I have just installed Firefox 4.0 RC and at first run all Firefox was black, except the title bar. I have an Asus N61JV laptop with W7 64 bit. If i set the compatibillity to Windows Xp Sp3, everything works perfectly.

Exactly what were you doing when your PC froze? Were you in the process of saving your file?
You should check your Windows logs ASAP on the chance that your computer itself is failing, before trying to do any more work with it!
I'm sorry to say that based on what you've written, chances are your Photoshop work on that project is gone for good. There is usually no recovery.
This is why people do File - Save fairly often, and into multiple different files during long projects, when running Photoshop.
However, you *may* be able to get back a flattened version, depending on how you have the compatibility option set for saving your PSDs, by using a program like IrfanView to open the flattened composite in the PSD file. It's worth a try.

Firefox 4 the "close tab" button is missing from the "File" pull down

In Firefox 4 the "close tab" button does not appear in the "File" pull down.
This button does appear in Firefox 3.6.16 but is now gone.
I need it when I have two windows open, each with one tab open and I want to close one window.
The only option presented to me is "Quit" which closes both windows...

I agree with what you said,
"OK. While of nuisance value [why isn't this the default?]"
Why isn't it the default?
Why force users to switch from a mouse to a keyboard (control-w) just to close a tab?

Close window button missing from my active+inactive tabs

Hi. Does anyone else have the problem of the close tab button disappearing from the tabs, irrespective of whether they are the active or inactive tab?
I can only get the buttons back by pressing the big "+" and opening a new tab and presto, all the close tab buttons appear again.
Using firefox 8 on a windows 7 laptop. Not sure if it happens every load or just sometimes, but is frequent enough to be annoying.

Hello, and thank you for your reply.
I have narrowed down the problem further now- it seems that when I have an open mozilla window, and then open a link from another programme (have only tried thunderbird so far), the new tab may or may not have a close tab button on it (not right 3 out of 4 times)
Didn't seem to happen when I tried safe mode, but I only tried it 3 or 4 times.
It's not a big issue for me, but I guess bugs should be figured out.

Change the Colors of Expand, Minimize and Close Window Buttons

How do I change the colors of the Expand, Minimize and Close window buttons?
Red, green, and yellow are not conducive to red-green colorblind individuals, and the gray scheme in the Graphite appearance is too dull.

If the change in theme can do it, there must be an alternative.

How do I add a close window button/image

All I want to do: Add a close window button (round/square with an "x" through it) to either one or many html files. I don't see how to do this.
Using RoboHelp 8 HTML and WinXP. Thanks.

Ahh I see now. You are asking where to obtain such an image!
The RoboHelp Gallery doesn't contain one. Sorry. You will need to obtain one from any number of other locations.
You might look at the following link for one possibility.
Icon Archive
Here are a couple from my own colloection. You might right-click and save as.
There are also a number of packages you may purchase or find. Perhaps the following link will help.
Click here to search Google
I cannot advise on the legal implications of using said images.
Cheers... Rick

Refresh only page item while submitting data from the popup window

Hi All,
I'm pretty new to Apex .....
I have a form with text items as first few entries and then a radio button list and few text items again. On selecting certain radio button I have a popup window which acts as an interface for the next text item in the calling page. The purpose of having the popup window is that the text item following the radio button takes the input with certain character delimiters along with the data. Instead of using delimiters while entering the data I want a meaningful data to be keyed in the popup window and all the string operation to be done as a background process. I have been successful this far. I'm using the below javascript on click of the submit button.
javascript:doSubmit();
window.opener.doSubmit('REFRESH');
window.close();
On doing this I'm losing the values submitted for the items prior to the radio button(including radio button). Please note, I have a dynamic action set on page load to reset the values. Is it possible to refresh just the page item from the popup window.
Also, I tried excluding the window.opener.doSubmit('REFRESH'); from the above javascript. It sets the item with the expected value (viewed it in the session items, however I would like to view the concatenated string on my calling page) but following this there is an insert operation which uses all the necessary items in the form. All values except the value returned from the popup window is populated into the table. Am I missing something.
Any help in this regard is appreciated.
Thank you!!!
Regards,
Ganesh

Value set using Javascript is only in your browser page but is not yet available in the session. This is why the report doesn't return the expected output.
Before refreshing the report you would need to set the session state of this item.
You can set it after you assign the item a new value or before the report is refreshed
For Interactive Reports, this is available built in
you can go to Report Attributes >Advanced Attributes -> Page Items to Submit and specify P2_X1 for the field(and any other page item that the report is dependent on)
For standard reports, you can create a Dynamic Action that is triggered "before refresh" of the report's region, and choose PLSQL as the action types, give a dummy BEGIN NULL END; for the code and specify this item name in the page item to submit field so that it sets the items's value in session.

Calling a Function in the Parent Window from the Child Window

QUESTION: How do I call a function resident in the parent
window from a child window?
BACKGROUND
I have a JavaScript function resident in the parent window
that reformats information obtained from the Date object and writes
the result to the parent window using the document.write( ) method.
I would like to call this function from the child window and have
it write to the child window instead. Is this possible? If not,
must I rewrite the entire function and nest it in the below code?
If so, what is the proper form of nesting?
CODE: The code that creates and fills the child window is
provided below. The highlighted area indicates where I would like
to enter the information from the function resident in the parent
window. I have tried every imaginable permutation of code that I
can imagine and nearly destroyed my parent document in the process.
I am very happy that I had a back-up copy!
function openCitationWindow() {
ciDow = window.open("", "", "width=450, height=175, top=300,
left=300");
ciDow.document.write("A proper way to cite a passage of text
on this page: Stegemann, R. A. 2000.
<cite>Imagine: Bridging a Historical Gap</cite>. " +
document.title + ". [<a href='" + location.href + "'
target='_blank'>online book</a>] <" + location.href
+ "> (");
MISSING CODE;
ciDow.document.write("). <input
type='button' value='Close Window' onclick='window.close()'>");
ciDow.focus();

Never mind - I was doing something very stupid and wasn't
calling the function as a method of a movie clip. I was simply
calling checkTarget(event) rather than
event.currentTarget.checkTarget(event); which seems to work.

How to Start Skype from the background from command line?

Hello.
My window manager is Evilwm and I am running Skype. If I close the Skype window (the one w/ my buddies listed) the window closes but Skype is still running in memory. On another window manager like Openbox a small Skype icon sits in the taskbar as long as it is running. If I want to start Skype to see who is online I simply click the icon in the taskbar.
Now, the question is...How can I start skype from the command line while it is running in the background?
Evilwm doesn't have any taskbar or tray thingie...
Any ideas?
Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks!
nedson :?:

Thats what I thought...
What I wanted to do was call Skype from memory. Under Evilwm I can close a window with ctrl-alt-x (using a hacked version of EvilWm) . After cloasing the window with this method, skype is still running in memory (I can see it when running ps aux). How can I call it out of memory? I don't want to stop the program, start it back up and re login. I just simply want to call it from the background...
Any ideas?

What can i do to regain the function of the close browser button?

after using firefox for a number of weeks without problems, today the close browser button is not functioning! (white cross on red ground) The only way to close the browser is by using the task manager end task. This is a simple problem but what can I do to fix it? I have tried updating but not reinstalling.I dont have any more details I am afraid, the button just doesnt work. I dont think it is a problem with my computer cos for example 'word' closes as expected. Likewise Internet Ezplorer. More than that I do not have any idea why this is happening.

That is Close the Window button, not close the browser, and with Firefox that makes a difference because of subtasks.
The following may not completely eliminate having to terminate Firefox through the Windows Task Manager but it will come very close.
'''Plug-in and tasks started by Firefox may continue after attempting
to close Firefox''' The "X" in the upper right-hand corner closes the
Window (same as Ctrl+Shift+W) but even if it is the last Firefox window,
it does not necessarily close Firefox .
The only '''proper way to exit Firefox''' is to use '''Exit''' through the
File menu, not the "X" in the upper right corner of last Firefox window.
In the 4.0 and up with the "Firefox" button that would be Alt+F then X

I can't quit safari while the hotmail window is open

What is the problem between Safari 5.1.7 and hotmail? I can't quit safari while the hotmail window is open. I can close Safari from all other websites.

Hi ...
You may have better luck accessing your Hotmail account using Mac Mail instead of web based (browser) using Safari.
Launch the Mail app.
From the Mail menu bar top of your screen click Mail > Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
Click +
Type in the name, email address, and password then click Continue.
No more not being able to quit Safari using your Hotmail account.
If you'd rather not access your Hotmail account via Mac Mail, when you can't quit Safari, try force quitting.
Several ways to do this.
Comand + Option + E on your keyboard.
Or click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Force Quit.
Or by using Activity Monitor located /Applications/Utilities

The 'close pdf' button gone in cs 5.5

hi
I have indesign cs3 files utilising the interactive buttons and are then exported to pdf. I have upgraded to cs5.5 and the 'close pdf' button I created in cs3 no longer works. On double checking the button panel, the option for 'next page, previous page, etc' is still there but the 'close' option is gone. This means the close button on every page of the 24 page documents no longer works. These files are outputed to pdf. Why has this been removed. This is the second button option removed in the cs5.5 upgarde. We lost the email to a friend option 'attached to email' in acrobat and now functions are missing in inDesign!
Beside our clients still wanting this function, there is no way you can close a full page pdf (without menu bar) unless clicking the Esc button on your keybaord. If you are on a tablet it is then really awkard

I did that with Acrobat 10. Are you using Acrobat 8 or 9? This is a quote from Acrobat 8 help:
Select the form field that you want to duplicate.
Choose Forms > Edit Fields > Duplicate.
Note: The Duplicate command isn’t available for forms with only one page.
Do one of the following:
To duplicate the form field on every page in the form, select All, and click OK.
To duplicate the form field on a limited range of pages, click the From button, and type the start and ending pages on which you want the form field to appear.
Note: Including or not including the page on which the form field originally appears doesn’t affect the duplication process. Including that page won’t create a second copy on top of the original one, and not including it won’t remove the original form field.

How do i end a sub vi when the close window control is clicked?

Hi,
I have a sub vi that sits in a while loop until a 'Done' button is pressed but sometimes the user clicks on the close window control in the top left of the window (MacOS) instead.
After this has happened I would like control to return to the calling vi but it's as though the sub vi is still waiting for someone to click on the done button and the any user actions in the calling vi are ignored.
How do I wire the close window into my program so as clicking on either it or the Done button will end the sub vi and pass control back to the calling vi?
Thanks,
Dave.

The "event structure" can capture events for "this VI" that include "panel close". If you are using an event structure to look for the push of the Done button, just add another event that will catch the panel close as well (you can even configure the stucture to not pass on the close event). If you are not using the event structure to watch for the done button, perhaps you should. If you cannot use it in the same loop, you can put it in a parallel loop and use any of several signaling mechanisms to communicate between the loops.

How does one set options such that the entry for a successfully downloaded file automatically got removed from the download window?

In earlier versions of Firefox, I could set options such that when a download completed successfully, the download entry was automatically removed from the download windows. I don't seem to be able to get this functionality in ver 13.0.1. In this version, i have to right click on each completed download entry, and choose "remove from List". This is very cumbersome.
I really liked the earlier auto cleanup as it left only pending, current and failed downloads in the Download window - just the stuff I needed to pay attention to. Is there any way to set up ver 13.0.1 to make things work the way they worked so well earlier.
A related issue may be that in the Privacy tab, the option for Browsing and Download history have been combined (were they separate earlier? - don't remember). I want to keep my browsing history but not my download history. I can still clear them individualy in the "Clear Recent History" settings, so why can't I set the control for keeping either individually? Or can I?

The download history is part of the regular browsing history, so you would have to disable the history altogether as you've already noticed.
* Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
**"Remember my browsing and download history"
Firefox manages the downloads in the Downloads folder in the Library.
* Firefox > History > Show All History > Downloads
Future Firefox versions won't use the current download manager (pref: browser.download.useToolkitUI; Bug 726444), but use a toolbar button with a drop down list, similar to the Bookmarks Menu button.

I used to be able to copy or drag and drop links from the address window. Now with the update, only the address is copied or dragged not the link. (Says something about not giving site information). I want to be able to drag and drop or copy links.

To be more precise, you can setup a JComponent or JPanel on top of your JavaFX nodes that has a TransferHandler that can convert the (AWT/Swing) images dragged to the app to JavaFX image and then insert it into the underlying node.
As for the file chooser itselft: ListView and the JavaFX composer can allow you to create one quite easily. TreeView can aslso be used to a lesser extend (still a big buggy). For both of these, there are small bugs in the Cell API that may (or may not) prevent from displaying a proper thumbnail in the cells.
You can also use a regular JFileChooser if you do not mind the dialog box having a different LnF from the rest of your application.
