Resizing certain windows...

Well, I just got my G4 set up.
I just switched over one of my boxes to Slackware 10, so naturally I'm trying to hop on Terminal and use ssh to configure it.
The Terminal window is only part of what it should be - imagine your bar, no window, just one of the resizing icons (X - +) --- the X.
So, I can't resize my window. I may be deadly wrong here, I've never really used Mac or any Apple product for that matter.
So I click the corner, and go to Window Settings. I'm assuming the size of the window is controlled by...you guessed it, "Window".
It's at 511 columns and 5 rows. I try to change this, and nothing happens.
Any ideas at all?
Much Appreciated.

hope this one hasn't been answered millions of times already...It has.
I'd like to prevent it altogether. Can this be done?Not really. You need to use the ComponentListener to handle the componenResized events. You can get multiple events by adding the following to you code. The problem is you get lots of flickering when you handle each event and resize the frame.
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().setDynamicLayout(true);

Screen flicker when resizing certain windows larger ( browser window or services.msc window)

Hello, I have a H535 Desktop running Windows 7 with a A10-5600 processor with HD7660D graphics. When I make the Window larger by pulling it diagonally to the right and down or (in particular, the browser or services.msc windows) I get a black line or band that flickers or redraws the right and left sides.
I noticed that this happens in Aero mode or using any of the Aero themes, and it doesn't matter if transparency is on or off. BUT, if I change to the Basic Theme or Classic theme no black flickering occurs.
Now I checked my graphics card driver and it's updated with the most recent Lenovo AMD driver. Even when trying to update the driver, it says that I have the latest driver installed. Also tried uninstalling some drivers and letting MS reinstall them. No Dice.
Is this a MS issue? Do any of you have the same issue when you make the Services.msc window larger by pulling diagonally to the right and down and the same time?
Thanks.

Problem went away overnight i never did find out why it did it !!!

When resizing a window the scroll bars disapear

Using FF 4 on Mac OS when i resize a window below a certain point the scroll bars disappear (or fail to appear) and/or become partially obscured.

Did you update the firmware (to Boot ROM version 4.2.8) before installing Tiger? See Mac OS X: Available firmware updates
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
Did you use a universal install CD or a CD from another Mac model?
OS X is really "picky" about the "quality" of RAM. Many RAM modules that operate OK in classic OS do not operate OK in OS X. How much RAM is installed & does it all show up in the About This Mac/Apple System Profiler when you boot in Tiger? Check with the added RAM out.

Text runs of the page / doesn't resize with window

Hi,
I have seen this before but cant figure out how to fix this:
In Mail and other applicaitons that involve typing text the sentenses run off the "page".
When I resize the window the lines dont' adapt to the window.
I am stumped, please help :-)

Howdy. See if this helps:

How do webpage developers get Firefox to use the windows.resize or windows.moveTo javascript functions that seem to now be passed over?

Before V7, this code worked and did as requested every time the page was run. Now, it does not work and no error is reported. Google Chrome and Internet Explorer are able to produce th correct result.
<script type="text/javascript">
window.resizeTo(325,700);
window.moveTo(1150,10);
</script>
I have a site where I use window.open to create a login window with minimum chrome.
On successful login, the window that created the login window updates itself to another page. The login window is supposed to resize itself and move to create a console panel to the right of the screen.
I have tried to update the window from its parent at the point of successful login (flagged by a database change, checked frequently). I have also included code in the new window itself to resize itself to no avail.
The new code seems to be failing on both the conditions laid out!

Some conditions were added in 7.0 to avoid abuse of the resize and move functions:
#Can't resize a window/tab that hasn't been created by window.open.
#Can't resize a tab if the tab is in a window with more than one tab.
* https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=565541#c24
There's still some discussion on the bug - including some solutions and troubleshooting for pages that were affected that shouldn't be - and it's being tracked to make sure it doesn't have any adverse effects.

Using javascript to resize the window

I've got a project that I would like to resize depending on which slide the learner is viewing.
I' aware that the javascript method:
window.resizeTo(width,height)
can be used to resize a window.
In my case I want it to be for the tall window:
window.resizeTo(1016,650)
and for the short window;
window.resizeTo(1016,165)
I'm also aware that you can tell a button (or anything else) to execute javascript.
I'm having trouble making it work, tough.
I've tried putting the method directly into the Script_Window for the button.
I've tried writing a function in the published file, then having the button call that function.
Can you paste javascript snippets into the Script_Window? Or do you need go the whole 9 yards and write the entire function, name the button instance, and tell the Captivate button to call that function?
I'm just now sure how much Captivate knows how to do and how much I need to tell it.
Thanks in advance!
Joe

Thanks for your response, Jim.
My window was created by a previous window using the code:
<script language="JavaScript">
function newWindow() {
TheNewWin = window.open("main.htm","newWin","status=no,resizable=yes,left=0,top=0,width=1014,height=6 50");
TheNewWin.focus()
</script>
I tried the code above in the ScriptWindow of a Captivate button (running in a Captivate SWF in the new window). It didn't work.
I also tried:
TheNewWin.resizeTo(1016,165);
and
newWin.resizeTo(1016,165);
neither of which worked.
Any other guidance would be appreciated.

Positioning of monitor and (dis)ability to move certain windows

I just got a LCD TV with DVI which I connected to my MBP.
at first I had it on the table positioned to the right. All windows could move back and forth just fine. but, to save table space I mounted the TV to the wall just above my MBP and reset the position in the displays pref accordingly.
with the position on top I can move most windows up there (iTunes, address book, etc...)
but not certain essential windows like safari or mail.
the weird thing is it's not just the apps that are restricted as certain windows like the downloads window in safari will move up normally.
I've done all I can think of, restarting reseting the display prefs....
Is this just a glitch? or some code snippet in safari and mail that got left out?
any help would be great.

Maybe try shortening the height of the window prior to moving it up to the TV. It could be that the window is too long to fit on the screen and Mac OS won't let it move if it would go behind the menu bar (which I presume to be in the lower display). Or the other thing to try would be to drag the menu bar to the top display (in Display Preferences) and then see if windows will move from below to above.

Resizing IE window makes game errors

I am running Windows Vista and the latest Java Run Time, If I open up runescape in full screen the game plays with no problems, if I then resize the window (smaller) visually it looks fine until I try to click somewhere with the mouse, and I end up clicking an inch or so under where I wanted, if I resize back to full screen it is fine again.
Conversely if I open the screen window in small the game works fine, if I then resize (larger) I get the image the same size as the small screen and the rest of the screen is white and once again the mouse does not click in the right place.
I have the latest driver from NVIDEA, however this may have something to do with it, I updated the driver because the older driver kept failing and closing the game window down, I no longer get that problem, just replaced it with a new one.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks for reading.

Hi Isla
Your message is really, very, very long. I think its too long to read it twice ;)
. Regarding all your issues on this notebook well. it looks like you have installed many 3rd party programs and applications. In such case its not easy to say if such issues are software or hardware related. But I presume its software.
I checked your screenshot pic but I have never seen such error message. But it looks like something wrong with the graphic card driver. The message says something about Live Kernel Event
A kernel's services are requested by other parts of the operating system like graphic card driver for example.
In such case I would recommend updating the graphic driver. According to you message its a Intel GPU. So you could check the Intel page for the compatible graphic chip driver.
Regarding the FN key issue;
The Toshiba FlashCard utility controls the FN key functionality. I have read in this forum that this application does not run smoothly and in some cases it causes some issues. The new update should solve the problems. You should check the Toshiba driver page. The FlashCard Utility is a part of the Toshiba Value added package.
So finally one more hint:
You should always check for the Vista updates on the Microsoft page. This OS is not perfected and Microsoft releases very often patches and fixes
Hope it could helps a little bit.
If necessary just ask for more info :)
Regards

Cannot resize safari window

i can't resize the safari window by hovering over the bottom right corner of the window. I am working on a Macbook Pro and Yosemite.
thanks!

When you hover over the corner do you not see the cursor change to a slanted heavy line with arrows at each end? Do you then click down and then resize the window?

Cannot move or resize any window

Hello there,
I have a brand new rMBP which I could be very happy with ... unless for whatever reason I cannot move or resize any window at all.
Cannot resize/move Finder, Safari, Preview, ... anything !!!
How the **** is that ?
I have googled a bit but found nothing.
Anybody can help ?
It's OSX Lion 10.7.4
Thanks

ok found it
preferences > universal access > mouse & trackpad > trackpad options > dragging
I had to check that box !!
I really wonder why it was not checked by default, but anyway I am happy now.

Cannot Resize Finder Windows

Since a couple of days I have sometimes trouble resizing Finder windows in Lion (10.7.1).
Clicking on the green plus-icon does not change anything and trying to resize by going to the edges or corners does not work either. The curser changes to an arrow but nothing happens when dragging.
The other two icons (red and yellow) still work as normal. Closing the window an re-opening the same directory "solves" the problem. The new window is fully resizable again.
Any idea what causes this issue?

I have a feeling SMB might have something to do with it. I used to have problems with permissions behaving correctly when accessing SMB servers in the past. but this is a kind of difficult problem to further diagnose.
On the other hand maybe it is just .DS_Stores making mischief... would it be any harm to delete all the .DS_Stores on the network volumes?
I used to do this periodically with a script because OS X has a habit leaving a trail of both these and apple double files behind for non HFS volumes.

Resizing labview window that has been converted

I just would if it is possible to resize a labview window once it has been converted to a different version. I have labview 7.1 and converted to 6.1 and I am trying to resize the window but it doesn't let me. Is there another way around this?

You should be able to resize any vi even though it has been converted. Go to the File Menu and select VI Properties. Then select Window Size in the Catagory box. Make sure that zeros are entered for the Minimum Panel Size, and that the "Set the Front Panel to the width and height of the entire screen" checkbox is unchecked.

How do U resize a window in start up

Im making an applet that draws somehting and my drawing is bigger than my applet i want to only view it in a n applet viewer so how do i resize the window automaticly so at start up i get a big enough window to fit my drawing in.

try n add this in ur html file.
hope it helps.
An applets width and height properties are only available in Internet Explorer 4 - and then they are only read only.
The only possible way is to trap the resize event using the documents onResize event handler in Netscape Navigator 4 and Internet Explorer 4 to reload the page:
<HTML>
<body onResize="document.history.go(0)">
<applet width="100%" height="100%">
</applet>
</body>
</html>

Hi, i wanted to resize my windows partion. I was thinking of using the default backup system for windows. Then switching to mac partion, deleting the bootcamp and then restoring a new enlarged partion from the backup. Is this possible?

hi,
i wanted to resize my windows partition. I was thinking of using the default backup system for windows. Then switching to mac partion, deleting the bootcamp and then restoring a new enlarged partition from the backup. Is this possible?

I see youhave gotten recommendatons for using WinClone or CampTune. I have used both and they both work well.
You have asked about using the WIndows 7 utility to backup your drive and restor it onto a larger partition. I will tell you fro experience that this will probably not do what you want, and may do something that you don't want. You can use the Windows 7 native backup tool to make a backup of your Windows 7 partition. It will most liekly end-up making a dive image of the whole drive. When yourestore that backup, it will try to re-create teh partitions of exactly the same size as they were when the backup was taken, so it won't increase your partition size for you. Worse, since Windows doesn't natively know how to read./write HFS+ volumes, the backup will make a partition for your MacOS (replacing any you may have now), except that the copy restored by WIndows will be totally worthless, and you will not be able to boot MacOS from it, or even read it under MacOS.
Now I will tell you that I've also had some fairly good success working with the free tool CloneZilla. Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, and everything else mentioned does cost you money, I thought I would throw it out. CloneZilla is not as easy to use as the tools mentioned, but it has worked for me int hte past, so it is something to consider. I tend to use CampTune myself, but that was because I purchased a bundle deal for them and it was included in that deal.
