Search window in finder is too small

Hi
When I perform a search in a finder window (cmd + F) the window that opens is tiny (about 10% of my screens) and includes only two items: Search "This Mac" and a second button. The files found can only be sorted using three arguments (name, type and last opened). I want to change it to open on full screen and to include other criteria for sorting, at least size in addition.
How can I change this window??
Thanks for helping.

Hi Yarramalong,
As Ray says you can drag the window to expand it but I'm afraid it does work like other windows. It won't save a setting or toggle views by clicking the green button for minimum and maximum. It seems incongruous with Apple Human Interface Guidelines
AFA the choice of folders goes you can change the folder or drive it searches by by opening a standard finder window, then open a command-F window. Drag the folder you want to the menu bar. Then, close the Find window and reopen it. Whew! Not very intuitive either

Boot Using OPTION key:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "OPTION" key.
3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
4. Select your OS X disk.
5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.

How do I change the font on incoming email in Windows Live--it is too small in Firefox

I can change fonts in outgoing emails, and on website screens, but the incoming emails in Hotmail and Windows Live it is way too small to read. It is fine in Gmail. Can you tell me how to change this to a readable font. Using the Tools option does not work.

Try asking your Boot Camp question in the Boot Camp forum rather than in the Windows Compatibility forum. The Boot Camp gurus hang out in the Boot Camp forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

I can open the program and see it's running, but the window is invisible or too small to see.

I've tried scanning the help forums and was told that it's probably a corrupted file that saves my preferences upon closing, but all in the info I can find about this is for earlier releases.
I've tried clearing caches, opening images that might force the window larger, uninstalling and reinstalling, and restarting my computer. Suggestions?

You can use Save & Quit with one of these Startup settings:
* Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my home page" or "Show a blank page"
Save and Quit will only work if you close Firefox via "File > Quit" to close all open Firefox windows.<br />
If you use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.
You can reset the warn prefs on the about:config page via the right-click context menu.
* browser.tabs.warnOnClose , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries
* browser.warnOnQuit , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnQuit
* browser.warnOnRestart , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnRestart

How to stop a window from being resized too small?

Course displays in too small a window once it's in LMS

We're having a problem with our Captivate courses where, once
we've uploaded them to our LMS (GeoLearning) and launched them,
they launch in a window that is too small and can't be manually
resized or maximized. The window is about 30% too small, and scroll
bars display, forcing you to either scroll or zoom out. We even
tried publishing with "Full Screen" selected. Nothing works.
The LMS folks told us that Captivate uses code that the LMS
doesn't recognize. They gave us code for us to manually paste into
the generated htm file that basically forces the browser window to
display at a certain size (we chose the same size as our project:
1014x713). However, this doesn't work. The window looks the same as
it did without the code. I've e-mailed them for further assistance,
but I was hoping that maybe someone on this forum could shed some
light on this problem. I find it hard to believe that Captivate
doesn't play well with LMSs.
Has anyone else had problems with their courses launching in
browser windows that are too small and can't be resized once
they're in an LMS? If so, what, if anything, were you able to do to
fix it? This is a pretty serious problem. At this point, it looks
like the only thing we'll be able to do is tell our students they
have to zoom out to 75% to be able to see the entire screen. Or,
maybe we need to resize our projects, except we don't have time to
do that now. We're launching our new LMS and courses in about 10
days, and that's not enough time to resize the project and then
tinker with the placement of objects on the screen.
If anyone has any ideas, I appreciate your help! :( I'm going
home now! Have a great weekend.
Lisa

Lisa, I am certain that this is a LMS problem, not a
Captivate problem, and encourage you to keep after the LMS company
for help. But if I were you, I would immediately start creating
smaller Captivate projects. The size you mentioned is humongous by
any standards I've ever heard, and it occurs to me that perhaps it
(they) is/are so large that the size falls outside acceptable
parameters for the LMS. Just a thought ...
I'm just rambling now so feel free to skip this but if it
makes you feel better - and I know it won't - I once worked for a
web-application designer who created his company's application to
be run
only at 1024x768 or larger. When I pointed out that nearly
all our customers were still using video cards supporting 800x600
(maximum), his simplistic reply was that I should tell them to
upgrade their equipment. He was a complete idiot.
I have never seen a program that couldn't be designed to run
fine in 800x600 and that would alleviate your problem (yeah, I know
there might be exceptions, but I've never seen a legitimate one
except those that are designed only for pod-casting).

LoV - popup window too small

Hi all,
I'm using Oracle Forms Builder 10gR2. I have a LoV attached to a button but when the user open it - the popup window which appears is too small and customer has to enlarge it.
Any ideas how to set it larger? Maybe in property palette or other option i have to define?
Thanks in advance,

You can set the width and the height of the LOV plus their x and y position in the property pallette at design time.
cheers

Way to change order of person type for search window under the People

Hi,
we need to change ordering of person type. Normally we open search window to find any specific record either employee/contingent or applicant which show's “Employee” as default value.
Is there any way to change type employee to contingent worker as default value?

Hi user-Keen,
hmm interesting.. never tried this, but can you try personalisation and see if this works -
WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE
Block : EMP_QF
Field : NUMBER_TYPE
Value : CWK
The value is defaulted to EMP, try changing this to CWK
Thanks,

The drop down menus in Photoshop CC 2014 are too small to read without using the magnifier. They are OK in Photoshop CC. I have been unable to find anyplace to adjust the font size. I have Windows 7 Pro. Looking at the Photoshop version history, it looks like this problem comes and goes as Photoshop is updated. It should be an easy fix.

Try the Photoshop CC 2014 Preference experimental section 2X UI option

When i browse with firefox the search results come up too small to read and I can't find any menu buttons (ie, can't find anywhere to zoom in or the view menu)

Have just got a new computer. Downloaded firefox as it has always been better than explorer and I've never had trouble on previous computers. It seemed to download okay. I set google as my home page. When I type a search phrase into it, the results page comes up too small to read. It's like it's normal but miniature. You know how google has google images, googlevideos, google maps across the top of it, if I click on the minature 'images' word, it comes up with the google images page but also very tiny. But if I click the mini 'videos' word, the videos search page is normal sized and so is the maps page.
It's driving me crazy because the initial page seems okay but there's no normal google stuff on that either, and then when I try to search for something, it goes tiny.

Hello Ashley.
You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
On the other hand, you may have Firefox configured to display fonts like that. Check Tools > Options > Content > Fonts & Colors and see that the font size is not too small. In my experience, sizes bellow 16 will be way to small to read.

Spotlight results window too small

When I do a Spotlight search and then click on "Show All", it opens a small Finder window. Too small to read full file names. If I click on the green plus button in the upper left, it makes it taller, but not wider. So I have to drag the lower right corner to widen it, and then re-size the columns so I can see full file names.
If I close the window, the next time I open a Spotlight search, it defaults to the same too-small size.
This happens every time.
Is there any way I can change this default and save the size and column spread I want?

I just created a new account and the result was the same: the "Show All" results window opens up very small and has to be manually re-sized.
Is there a system-wide preference file that can be changed for that, or am I stuck with it?

I posted this before and got some feedback and tried everything but it is not fixing the problem! I rewarded points to all the answers. I had basis increase roll area size, optimized code and did everything I can but I am still getting the same error "roll area too small". Same program works in 4.6C but in ECC6.0 I get this error! I have other programs that generates more than 10,000 pages in the spool but the program I am working on creates only 7700 pages! I am not sure what else is changed in ECC6.0! Could someone please give me any ideas? rewards assured.
thanks.

Hello Mithun,
Even i think increasing the roll area should have helped
Are both the systems WIndows based or is one unix based ?
see this
http://listserv.sap.com/pipermail/linux.general/2001-July/thread.html#670
and search for "roll area too small" in the list of links
it may help
Also,
in this solution, it says to use 'field groups'
http://www.sapfans.com/sapfans/forum/r2all/messages/42.html
Try these links as well - others with the same problem

All of a sudden the screen on my iMac 10,1 is too small for the image. Can't figure out how to reduce the size of the Finder or any of the Apps.

All of a sudden the screen is too small for the image. Hard to explain, but in order to see the entire Finder window, I must scroll the image up/down, left/right.
It's not just the Finder though, all of the apps are affected this way too.
It's probably got something to do with the fact that I have an HDMI cable running from the Mac to a Vizio 42" TV. It's been running this way just fine for over two months though.
Any ideas?

You probably accidently zoomed the screen. Hold down CNTL while scrolling down with the mouse or trackpad to unzoom. Cntl - scroll up to zoom.
Regards,
Captfred
