Screen setting and size switch?

I have 20 inch monitor hooked up to my mb pro. I mostly use the mb pro as a desktop. But occasionally I will use it as a lap top. With the 20 inch monitor I obviously have more room and I make the windows for Safari and itunes big enough to fit the screen. When I switch and use it as a laptop the windows are now bigger than the screen and I have to adjust them. Is there anyway to have one setting size for when the monitor is hooked up and then have everything fit to the laptop screen when I use it as a laptop?

Wow, so sorry for the hype delayed response. it could be that your laptop was timing out for powersave before the screensaver would kick in. The best thing to do is go into your screen saver, set it to 1 minute and then let it sit for a minute without touching it (with it plugged in). It should kick in. Again, most laptops cut the monitor off after just a few minutes to conserve the power of the battery. I'm glad that the other solution worked for you =)

  • Screen Saver and Size of Background - Help, please!

    Hello there!
    I have a brand new Dell computer from Best Buy. With my last computer (Gateway), I was able to set up an automatic screen saver of a slideshow of pictures if my computer was not used for a certain amount of minutes.
    With this new computer, I have set up the same settings, but the screen saver NEVER comes on. I have clicked everything I need to, accepted, and saved the settings, but it never works. Any ideas?
    I decided to try and fix it myself, so I went into the Control Panel, Appearance and Personalization, Change Screen Saver, and then went into Power Settings to see if maybe the display wasn't working for this reason. I cannot remember what I did, but now the background picture is HUGE.
    To fix this, I have gone into screen resolution and display/power settings, but everything seems to be set to "recommended", so I cannot figure out what happened to make the images so large suddenly.
    1) Can you help me get the screen saver slideshow to activate?
    2) How do I get my background pictures back to normal size?
    Thank you so much for your help!!! I really appreciate it.

  • Flah Player Screen Position and Size Restrictions

    Hi All,
    I'm creating an interactive program which is to be used on
    Windows desktops through flash player rather than as a projector or
    html page. My problem is screen positioning and
    resize-restrictions.
    I want to be able to restrict the user from resizing the
    flash player; the stage size is currently set to 800x600 and I want
    to keep it that way on the desktop as I'm using photographs which
    when the player is resized is leaving blank bars down the sides
    (due to the photographs being 800x600).
    I'd also like to be able to position the flash player in the
    top-left hand corner of the screen.
    I'm not great at flash and have tried numerous things but
    can't get these to work, can anybody help?
    Regards,

    Hi
    This is possible, if you make your Flash file into a
    Projector file and
    bring it into Jugglor
    http://www.jugglor.com
    Download a FREE evaluation copy and look at
    Jugglor -> Setting Settings -> Windows Settings
    Here you have the restrictions as you require.
    Hope this helps.

  • I have a question regarding the screen setting and an adjustment layer.  It seems when I first tried this to lighten segments of a photo i.e. whites of eyes, it worked fine.  I could go over it until I got the desired effect.  Now when I do it, I get a li

    Using blend modes with adjustment layers.  I am having trouble getting the results I want by using a screen or multiply blend modes with adjustment layers.  When I use the brush to reveal the hidden image, I am not gettting consistant darkness or lightness.  I only have one photo open but it seems like I am getting data or colors from somewhere else.  Anyone else have a problem like this?

  • Set Finder Layout and Size - Silly Question

    Hi Guys and Happy Late Valentine's Day!
    I have a really easy question regarding the size of the finder window. Every time I open a new window in the Finder, it is too small for my liking, so I have to resize it. Do you know how I can set a size for the window so that every time I open Finder, it is the size of my liking?
    ~Christoph

    You are right, that is exactly what happens. Unfortunately, this is how Leopard works. I personally liked the pre-leopard versions of Finder windowing. Sizes, position and views stuck. I have actually never really used the Finder icon for opening a new window. I'm a big fan of keyboard commands. Alt-Tab to switch between applications, in Finder: Command-N for new window, Command-Shift-A for the Applications window, Command-Shift-H for your home folder etc. With keyboard shortcuts, the windowing behavior will work like you want it to.
    There is no 'fix' for this, since this is how Finder is supposed to work. There might be a setting somewhere deep in the Finder application itself to change the default size. I don't know where it would be though.
    Sorry, I can't help any further. Maybe someone else will post on my idea in the last paragraph.

  • Green screen: position, proportion, and size

    I did a kind of jury rigged green screen set up where I placed myself in another video and was amazed at the result from this rough attempt-however I appeared as a giant in the combined video. Is there a way to re-proportion the clip so I, whoever, whatever is normal size and placed properly to produce the desired effect? I'm guessing that you just have to make the green-screen clip with the size and position of the subject already considered. Thanks for any input!

    .. Is there a way to re-proportion the clip ..
    well, iM09 offers the CROP tool to 'shrink' a video..
    in your case, then the green screen is too small (=iM adds a black border around the shrunk clip).. .
    I like 'dirty' workarounds.. how's that:
    create a New Project
    insert a plain green still (use any paint app.. )
    use the pic-in-pic effect to add the clip with you in the greenbox..
    use the 'grabs' so resize and position yourself..
    => there should be a Greenbox clip within a green clip..
    Export using Quicktime/choose Apple Intermediate as codec..
    import THAT clip into your original Project, try to use the Greenbox effect
    .. never tried, just an idea..
    best practice: re-shoot..
    even better practice: use FinalCutExpress for such elaborated Special Effects

    Doesn't it use an external AC Adapter? If so, all you should need to use in another country is an adpater plug to match the wall socket.

  • Dynamic Calc processor cannot lock more than [100] ESM blocks during the calculation, please increase CalcLockBlock setting and then retry(a small data cache setting could also cause this problem, please check the data cache size setting).

    Hi,
    Our Environment is Essbase 11.1.2.2 and working on Essbase EAS and Shared Services components.One of our user tried to run the Cal Script of one Application and faced this error.
    Dynamic Calc processor cannot lock more than [100] ESM blocks during the calculation, please increase CalcLockBlock setting and then retry(a small data cache setting could also cause this problem, please check the data cache size setting).
    I have done some Google and found that we need to add something in Essbase.cfg file like below.
    1012704 Dynamic Calc processor cannot lock more than number ESM blocks during the calculation, please increase CalcLockBlock setting and then retry (a small data cache setting could also cause this problem, please check the data cache size setting).
    Possible Problems
    Analytic Services could not lock enough blocks to perform the calculation.
    Possible Solutions
    Increase the number of blocks that Analytic Services can allocate for a calculation:
    Set the maximum number of blocks that Analytic Services can allocate to at least 500. 
    If you do not have an $ARBORPATH/bin/essbase.cfg file on the server computer, create one using a text editor.
    In the essbase.cfg file on the server computer, set CALCLOCKBLOCKHIGH to 500.
    Stop and restart Analytic Server.
    Add the SET LOCKBLOCK HIGH command to the beginning of the calculation script.
    Set the data cache large enough to hold all the blocks specified in the CALCLOCKBLOCKHIGH setting. 
    Determine the block size.
    Set the data catche size.
    Actually in our Server Config file(essbase.cfg) we dont have below data  added.
    CalcLockBlockHigh 2000
    CalcLockBlockDefault 200
    CalcLockBlocklow 50
    So my doubt is if we edit the Essbase.cfg file and add the above settings and restart the services will it work?  and if so why should we change the Server config file if the problem is with one application Cal Script. Please guide me how to proceed.
    Regards,
    Naveen

    Your calculation needs to hold more blocks in memory than your current set up allows.
    From the docs (quoting so I don't have to write it, not to be a smarta***:
    CALCLOCKBLOCK specifies the number of blocks that can be fixed at each level of the SET LOCKBLOCK HIGH | DEFAULT | LOW calculation script command.
    When a block is calculated, Essbase fixes (gets addressability to) the block along with the blocks containing its children. Essbase calculates the block and then releases it along with the blocks containing its children. By default, Essbase allows up to 100 blocks to be fixed concurrently when calculating a block. This is sufficient for most database calculations. However, you may want to set a number higher than 100 if you are consolidating very large numbers of children in a formula calculation. This ensures that Essbase can fix all the required blocks when calculating a data block and that performance will not be impaired.
    Example
    If the essbase.cfg file contains the following settings:
    CALCLOCKBLOCKHIGH 500  CALCLOCKBLOCKDEFAULT 200  CALCLOCKBLOCKLOW 50 
    then you can use the following SET LOCKBLOCK setting commands in a calculation script:
    SET LOCKBLOCK HIGH; 
    means that Essbase can fix up to 500 data blocks when calculating one block.
    Support doc is saying to change your config file so those settings can be made available for any calc script to use.
    On a side note, if this was working previously and now isn't then it is worth investigating if this is simply due to standard growth or a recent change that has made an unexpected significant impact.

  • I am not satisfied with the font and size of print that I set. How do I change it?

    When I first set up Firefox on my desktop, I set the print size and font. I have found that it is too large and I really would like to change the font, also. I can't find a spot to do that. I might be looking right at it but don't realize it. Could you help me?

    I can't remember what I did when I set the font and size of articles that I printed from the pages on Firefox. I just know that I tried something a few months ago and have not been happy with the settings that I made. I can't find anywhere to change those settings and have tried so many things but they do not change the look of the pages I print when I click print. I tried to see if I could change the settings but all it does is change portrait or landscape and margins...nothing about fonts or sizes. I am getting so frustrated even though I love Firefox.

  • How to set the size and position of JFrame

    Don't know if this is what ur looking for, maybe u could describe more on ur layout with a sample image or something?

    That got to me a new page where I had to enter my security key chain ID, but then wouldn't go any further. So i have rebooted - and lo and behold it opened up OK.

  • Oracle 9i - Unable to set /PAE and /3GB Switch in Windows 2003 Server SP2

    Hi
    I was wondering if anyone had any experience on Windows 2003 Server (SP2) with setting /PAE and /3GB switches.
    I am unable to set both together, setting one or the other works fine in the boot.ini.
    Oracle seem to think you can set both but it causes my OS to crash/become unstable.
    Has anyone set both switches together on 32 bit Windows 2003 Server successfully?
    I am using Oracle 9.2.0.3 Enterprise Edition.
    Thanks

    The server is new. But we installed 10g before 11g was available. Then upgraded to 11g, so it is a little mess. What the oracle installer should have done in a fresh install, it is maybe not what the server has now.
    I have checked for memory issues, processor issues, http errors, every EM setting and metric, and everything looks just right, but the applications are slow and the users are upset.
    Anyway, thanks for the advice. Maybe we will need to re-install everything or go back to 10g on Windows 2003 Server x32. That configuration was working fine before rushing into 11g.
