Reduce grid spacing between icons in Finder even further

Hi,
Is there a way to reduce the grid spacing of icons in the Finder even further than what the cmd-I window allows? It still seems a lot of wasted space, I'd say, and I think some of my folders would look cooler if I could squeeze the icons closer together...
Thanks in advance,
Traversario

OK, it seems this isn't a simple matter. I'm just wondering if anybody has positive information that reducing the grid spacing further than what the ⌘I window allows is NOT possible?

How do I reduce the spacing between icons in Finder windows?

Hi,
I have recently changed the size of my icons to 32x32, and the icon text down to size 10 (default icon sizes looked way too big for my taste).
What seems to be happening though is that all icons are spaced at the same distance than when they were the default size (48x48?) leaving vasts amount of white space in between them.
Is there a way I can change that setting so all icons are closer to each other, not wasting so much empty space?
Thanks,
Julian

In the Format panel under the Text Style tab, there is a ▸ Spacing category. Click it to open, and you will have a selector that defaults to Lines, and to the right, the ability to set your spacing in decimal values. In addition to Lines, you also have At Least, Exactly, and Between capability. You can even set exact line height in points. Check that your Before Paragraph, and After Paragraph settings are correct for your needs.

Reports 6i: Unable to reduce the spacing between records

Hello all,
We have a report that displays tons of records in several layers of grouping. I need to reduce the (padding) space between the fields and the edge of the repeating frame they are in (in the layout model) so the total number of pages are reduced in the output report. I have the confine mode on (lock icon closed) so as to keep things in proper grouping (like a field cannot come out of its enclosing frame). The problem I have is, when moving fields near to the edge of the enclosing frame, the report would not let me move it to the edge of the enclosing frame. It would keep a (padding) distance between the field and the edge and would not move any closer. Strangely, in some of the other rdfs we have, I could move the enclosed field to completely near the edge of enclosing frame while in confine mode. I noticed no difference in the properties between the two rdfs. I also tried Tools-->Preferences-->Wizards Horizontal/Vertical Gap properties but to no avail. Please note that this problem exists for both repeating and non-repeating frames.
Thanks in advance,
Srinivas

Please try View->Snap to Grid,Unselected this property.Then test if this problem is resolved.

How can I shrink the spacing between the icons in the bookmarks toolbar?

Hello everyone!
I would like to open up some space in my bookmarks toolbar (also on the navigation toolbar if I can) by reducing the spacing between the icons. Is there any way to do this without the need of some third party program? If not, which one should I download?
Curious thing is that a few days ago I did not have this problem at all, all my bookmarks were visible in the toolbar regularly, neat and tight. Now there is that boring guillemet sitting there at the corner...
And this is the line where I thank you quite a bit for your interest towards my problem. So thank you very much:)
With respect

You're welcome
You can also remove the text labels with code in userChrome.css and if necessary adjust the margins as you like.
Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.

Change spacing between "LED's" in 2D boolean array indicator

Hi All
In my application I am tring to mimic a LED matrix sign using a 2D boolean array indicator. Its obvious enough how to chage the size of the LED's in the array indicator but I would also like to reduce the spacing between LED's as I have very small leds with two much space between them!!
Could someone kindly send me an example or tell me waht steps to take using customize indicators function etc.
Also can this be changed programatically using property nodes, so for instance i can resize the spacing to mimic LED signs with different LED densities?
Many Thanks!
Tristan

Hi Tristan
You could try customising the boolean in your array. Right click on an element of your array, select Advanced->Customise.... You can then modify the appearance of the boolean to your requirements, using decorations for example to modify the spacing.
You will be prompted to update your array with the modified version once you have finished your edits.
Had a quick play, see attachments
Hope this helps

[SOLVED] Spacing between start menu and tray icons lost

Hi,
I am using KDEmod + Arch
After todays upgrade, spacing between start menu at the left and tray icons at the right lost making the tray icons align to the left side of the tray. An X mark in a red box appeared in between on mouse hover, shows the message that : Unable to load the widget, could not find the requested component: stasks.
A screen shot is here:
http://twitpic.com/od3jh
What is to be done to rectify it?

Long:
You're using the stasks plasma widget, which likely just needs to be recompiled for kde 4.3.3, as it was just upgraded from 4.3.2 in Arch's Extra repository and I imagine the same applies to KDEMod.
pacman -Q | grep stask will likely show you what the stasks plasma widget is called.
If it's a kdemod package or returns nothing (meaning stasks is in some other plasma applet package, perhaps kdemod-plasma-applets or something.. pacman -Q | grep plasm would show all such packages with 'plasma' in the name), you'll need to recompile it with ABS or just post on the KDEMod forum and wait for them to update it. If you haven't rebooted since upgrading, there's sometimes something out of my ability to explain which causes KDE stuff not to show up / work properly even after running 'kbuildsycoca4' or 'kbuildsycoca' or killing and restarting kdm until said reboot.
The two stasks plasmoids I see in the arch user repository are "stasks-manager-plasmoid" (which you're likely using) and "plasma-stasks-patched-plasmoid-hg". If pacman -Q | grep stask shows one of those, simply recompile it via yaourt -S name_of_the_widget, and you should be good to go on logout/in or reboot or what have you.
Short:
Run in konsole: pacman -Q | grep stask
If it shows something with "kdemod" in the name or returns nothing, you should probably post a bug report with the KDEMod/Chakra guys at chakra-project.org (bug tracker is currently down, use the forums). If it shows "stasks-manager-plasmoid" or "plasma-stasks-patched-plasmoid-hg", recompile it via yaourt -S name_of_the_package and log out/in (or reboot if necessary.. it shouldn't be though).

Translation - Reduce spacing between label and value

Hi all,
I have translated the text in multi languages. I am not able to adjust the gap between Text and input field.
For example:
Now displaying :
1. Lang   'EN' -> Customer : SAP
2. Lang   'FR' -> Client:        SAP
3. Lang   'DE' ->   kunde        SAP
I need to display as:
1. Lang   'EN' -> Customer : SAP
2. Lang   'FR' -> Client: SAP
3. Lang   'DE' ->   kunde: SAP
Concatenate could not be done as i have to display field label in bold.
So I want to reduce the gap between Field label and its content. Above example for english the gap is less but for other langauges gap or spacing is more. How to reduce the spacing?

Hi Harryibm ,
If you are simply outputting this information from data bound to the form the you may be able to use a floating field instead of a field and caption. You can just use a text element and then go to Insert->Floating Field while editing the text. You can then bind the floating field to the data connection as usual and the length of the text will vary depending on the content at runtime.
Let me know if this helps.
Ben.

Reduce spacing between pop-up menu links

i have created a horizontal pop-up menu and the spacing
between the links is huge.. is there a way to reduce the
spacing.

You have not provided any way to look at your code and it is very difficult to read you post without much punctuation and no line breaks but as far as ican tell what youare asking is why do links open in new tabs instead of in the same tab or window when you click on them is that correct? See what I mean, kind of difficult to read isn't it?
If I understood you correctly, you probably have a target specified in the link tag. Just remove it.
That is, change:
<a href="YourLinkedPage.html" tareget="_blank">
to:
<a href="YourLinkedPage.html">

Extra spacing between words in a line when an icon is inserted

Why do i see extra spacing between words in a line when an icon is inserted. Can someone please help me fix this issue as this is affecting readability?

Third option is to reference the image and show it below the paragraph.
The size of the image is in your control and if it needs more space than the text, it is going to take it.

I TRY TO OPEN IPHOTO AND I COULD NOT. WHEN I CLICK ON THE ICON DID NOT EVEN BOUNCE. THEN I DRAGED IT ON MY DESKTOP AND NOW I CAN'T EVEN FIND THE ICON ANYWHERE,

I TRY TO OPEN IPHOTO AND I COULD NOT. WHEN I CLICK ON THE ICON DID NOT EVEN BOUNCE. THEN I DRAGED IT ON MY DESKTOP AND NOW I CAN'T EVEN FIND THE ICON ANYWHERE, what can i do???

iOS? or OSX
OSX = Finder > Applications > iPhoto. Double click the app to open it.
The icon (alias) will then be back on the dock. Right click the Icon > Keep in Dock.
Icons dragged off the dock vanish in a puff of smoke.. they are only aliases (shortcuts)
If you mean iOS I can't really understand what is happening..

Reduce spacing between top navigation items.

My top navigation is a bit too wide for most screens. Is there a way, via CSS, to ever-so-slightly shrink the spacing between top navigation items?

I'd love your advice on this one, if you might:

Moderator message: wrong forum, please have a look in the dedicated "Web Dynpro ABAP" forum.
Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Apr 15, 2011 10:17 PM

Hi anushree.,
If u are using matrix layout:
In Layout Data select MatrixHeadData to display UI in next line.,
If u want to give space between UI elements in the width enter 50, 60, 70 or what ever space u want.
Also in the vGutter u can select medium , large , medium with rule to give space between UI elements.
n if u want to give space between lines ., in the height enter 30 40 or whatever spacing between lines u want.,
Matrix layout is a good layout., and u can play with colspan , hAlign, vAlign, vGutter, width and height options.,
If u dont like the layout with these options then use Grid layout., where u can give custom spacing., with the help of Left Padding, Right Padding, Top Padding, Bottom Padding.
reply if u need some more clarifications.,
Thanks & Regards

Document icon in Finder window differs from Get Info icon

I've been noticing unexpected document icons in Finder windows for quite some time.
This is especially true for PDF files. Since the early days of Mac OS X, I've configured my Macs to open PDF files in Adobe Reader, and I'm accustomed to seeing an Adobe PDF document icon on each PDF file. For some time, I've been seeing different PDF icons, e.g., a document with fuzzy text lines and a black ring binding on the left edge.
I thought this might be a custom icon. But when I do a Get Info on the PDF file, the conventional Adobe PDF icon appears in the Get Info window.
Is this different between the Finder icon and the Get Info icon a bug or a feature?
-- Ward

It's a feature. Any window that has the View Options set to "Show Icon Preview" will do that. It actually is rather handy in a folder that is set to icon view, with nice BIG icons, you can often see the first page (which is what is displayed) clearly enough to recognize exactly what the file is. In List view it isn't at all helpful, nor is it helpful in those cases where you have icon view set, but the icons are quite small (as is the case on my Desktop, and, I suspect, on most people's Desktops). A pdf that has multiple pages will additionally show the "binder" along the left edge. The Finder is drawing these custom icons on the fly from the contents of the file. The only way to defeat it is to turn of the Show Icon Preview for the folder(s) where you don't want an essentially useless and often counter-productive icon. Do that from the Finder's View menu item, Show View Options. Oh, and every folder has different options for each view. So you can turn it off for List view, but have it turned on for icon view, where it might actually be useful.

How do I reduce the space between the images in the fotopage?

Hi
I have made a Photopage - and some of the Photos are croped and when I add them to the page there is a loot of space between the one above and underneath
look at this screen shot
http://skitch.com/baiaz/n8un4/iweb
or go to my photopage:
http://web.me.com/baiaz/Adino/Galleri/Sider/UKE1.html
Then you will see what I mean.
Is there a way to make them more even???? So the gap is not that big when I crop the photos?

The photogrid is square. Your pictures are rectangle. That's difficult to fit.
To change the settings of the photogrid, click on an image.
You can change the number of columns, the spacing between the images, the numbers of lines for the caption and the number of pictures on a page.
It's all there.

Lightbox Slideshow adjust spacing between thumbnails

Hi
This is actually a two part question -
1. I want to give a collage look to my slideshow, without any spacing between thumbnails. How can I remove all the space between thumbnails.
2. For all the thumbnails I want -"Fit the frame proportionally" and for all the big lightbox images I want "Fit Content proportionally" so that vertical and horizontal images are not cropped in the Lightbox view. How can I do that for all the images together rather than going one by one.
Thanks in advance.
-MP

Hi MP,
For your 1st request, the Thumbnails (containers that hold the thumb images) cannot be resized individually and maintain same dimensions for all the thumbnails. For this reason, even though you can remove all spacing between Thumbnails by selecting the Thumbnail Container and specifying H and V Gutter in the Spacing Panel to 0 -- if your slideshow images are of mismatched dimensions and proportions and you have Fit Content Proportionally selected as the Fitting option, then there will be an inevitable space around the thumb images either vertically or horizontally. You can work around that by using the Fill Frame Proportionally option.
For your 2nd request. you can choose the appropriate option in the Flyout menu for "New Hero" and "New Thumbnail" options BEFORE adding the new images to the slideshow. The selection you make here will be applicable for images that you add after setting this option. So the appropriate workflow would be to setup your slideshow the way you want, then choose the appropriate option for New Hero and New Thumbnail and then add all your images to the slideshow.
If you want fine grained control over thumbnail and images, you may look at Composition Widgets which allow you to manually place and size all content individually and still allow you to use the composition as a slideshow upon publishing.
Thanks,
Vikas
