Set global font size for the whole application.

Is there a way of setting a font globally
What I mean I want to set a font size for the whole application.
Is this posable ??
Thanks Craig

After posting over 300 questions I would think you would be passed the "New to Java TechnologY" stage.
The answer for Swing applications is yes this can be done.
I don't know how to do it for AWT components.
Since you posted the question in this forum (as oppose to the Swing forum for Swing related problems), I'm assuming this is an AWT related question and therefore I can't help you.

Is there a way to increase the font size for the "songs" and "artists" lists in the new music app for iPad 2 (iOS 5)? It is too small for me.

It would depend on your definition of "Fix"
Your iPod touch running OS 4.2 has a ZOOM feature which will enable you to see the screen more clearly.
To turn Zoom on or off got to:
Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom and tap the Zoom On/Off switch.
_To Zoom in or out_:
Double-tap the screen with three fingers. By default, the screen is magnified 200 percent. If you manually change the magnification (by using the tap-and-drag gesture, described below), iPod touch automatically returns to that magnification when you zoom in by double-tapping with three fingers.
Increase magnification: With three fingers, tap and drag toward the top of the screen (to increase magnification) or toward the bottom of the screen (to decrease magnification). The tap-and-drag gesture is similar to a double-tap, except you don’t lift your fingers on the second tap—instead, drag your fingers on the screen. Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single finger.
_Move around the screen_:
When zoomed in, drag or flick the screen with three fingers. Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single finger so that you can see more of the screen. Hold a single finger near the edge of the display to pan to that side of the screen image. Move your finger closer to the edge to pan more quickly. When you open a new screen, Zoom always goes to the top-middle of the screen.
_Large Text_:
Large Text lets you make the text larger in alerts, and in Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Messages, and Notes. You can choose 20-point, 24-point, 32-point, 40-point, 48-point, or 56-point text.
Set the text size: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility, tap Large Text, then tap the text size you want.
I hope this has helped a little - other than this option I think it pretty much is what it is.
BTW - This information can be found on page 208 of the iPod Touch iOS 4.2 Users Guide.
Best wishes..

Changing a color for the whole Application

Hi,
Is there a way to change the color, default purple of swing to some other color(say green) for the whole application without using themes? Is it possible through UIManager.put()?

    JComboBox cbo = new JComboBox(temp);
    JButton btn = new JButton("I'm a button");
    jp.add(new JLabel("I'm a label"),BorderLayout.NORTH);

      Color jfcBlue1 = new Color(153, 153, 204);
      if (value instanceof Color)
           if(value.equals(jfcBlue) || value.equals(jfcBlue1)){
                UIManager.put(key, color);

How to store global values for the whole application to use ?

Hi,
In our application, we have global values that is store in a parameter table, I want only to query it once, and it will be used every where from the whole application.
e.g :
I have general parameter tables that store :
% Tax
Current Period
etc..
Then these values will be used in our business rules in the whole application.
How can I do that in ADF BC ?
Thank you,
xtanto

I would go ahead and create a transient VO with an attribute called "userLanguage" and store the value at the initialization step.
We generally call this type of VO as PVO which is a transient VO and contains only 1 record at any point of time. Keep this VO inside the RootAM and you can write a static util method as below..
public static String getUserLanguageFromPVO()
PVOImpl pvo = (PVOImpl)am.findViewObject("MyPVO");
if(pvo != null)
Row row = pvo.first(); //Always returns the one record
return (row == null ? null :
(String)row.getAttribute("UserLanguage"));
return null;
}

Set custom font size for one column

hey guys! I am trying to decrease the font-size for one column based on an lov and used
style="font-size:8pt"It does not work though! Do you have a hint?
brgds,
seb

Hello Seb,
>> Might it be important whether the column is of type "...based on lov"?
If by "...based on lov" you mean “Display as Text (based on LOV, does not save state)” the answer is yes. This type of column is not treated as an updatable column (the implementation is by using a regular <td> tag and not the <input> tag) so the Apex engine ignores the Element Attributes field.
As far as I can tell, this column can only be styled in the query itself (and you need to implement the LOV yourself).
Another option is to use a select list and disabled it, but the column will appear in gray, and with small font size it doesn’t look that good.

Arie.

Set ONLY the font size for the target PCs

I know that I must include a custom ini file to specify font name AND size for target PCs (the ones where the EXE runs).
For example
appFont="Tahoma" 13
dialogFont="Tahoma" 13
systemFont="Tahoma" 13
Is there a way to specify only the font size and not the name? (i.e. I want to use the specific font for a given PC, but I want to set its size).
I tried with
appFont= 13
but this setting is ignored.
When I used
appFont= "0" 13
the size was correctly set, but what does the "0" mean?

Hi Vix,
Yes I believe this will work.
You could confirm by the fact,
The default Application font is the Message Box Font which is Segoi UI and Tahoma for Windows VISTA and XP machines respectively. To verify this this on a Windows XP machine, complete the following steps:
Open Start»Settings»Control Panel»Display
On the Appearance tab, press Advanced
Select Message Box from the Item: pull-down menu
The font is displayed in the Font: pull-down menu
.. does the font change between "0" and Tahoma for example..

How do you adjust the font size for the tabs and icons around the screen?

How do you adjust the font size of tabs and and icons to ake them larger?

Click on the text in the menu so that you see the bounding box around it. Look to the right of the Movie Menu customization workspace, Adjustments Palette, Text and edit your text font style and size.
In this screenshot, "Glass Flowers" text in the main menu is selected and its Adjustments Palette Text editing opportunities are shown. To do comparable editing in the scene menu, click on the scene menu in the bin to bring its image up to the screen.
Please let us know if you are OK with the details.

MacBook Pro running MacOS 10.6. The font size for the tabs and bookmarks Toolbar is too small for comfortable reading for older eyes. Is there a way to change it or enlarge it?

The font size is smaller and harder to read than on FF 3.x. Would like to make it a few points larger or choose a different, more readable font altogether.

How to set a fixed size for the browser window on startup?

so the browser window has the same size and location on the desktop every time i open a new window???

In a 2D coordinate system the horizontal values are represented by some letter, usually x. In the same coordinate system the vertical values are classically represented by y.
Note: In your code, if you wish, you can replace x and y with anything you desire--p and q or perhaps jeff and alice or any variable name you wish, but for simplicity, and usually ease of understanding because almost everyone has had 100's of math problems drilled into their head with (x, y), x and y are used as convention.
In Java the screen coordinates run from 0 to the width-1 for x and 0 to height-1 for y of the component you are using to display.
So logically when you have a value of x or y that goes beyond the addressable bounds of your display, then you have to make some type of adjustment--when your value dips below 0, you reset it to 0, when your value goes above what ever width-1 or height-1 then you have to set that value to width-1 or height-1.
This all assumes that when you hit the wall, floor, or ceiling you stick there until you change directions--if you wish to wrap then you set your value to the opposite bound--so if you go below 0, you would then pop out back in on the right side--your appropriate x would be set to width-1 instead of 0 and in the case of y going below 0 your y would be set to height-1. This is also to say that when you descend below your minimum, then you would pop back out on the opposite side you went out on--so x greater then width-1 would get set to 0 and y greater than height-1 would get set to 0.
That is not even a start on if you want to include elastic collisions, angle of impact, any type of deceleration force, or anything else.
In any case... I would recommend that you add more math to your studies, I've never met an engineer or computer science grad that said: "Wow, I really regret taking all that math in college (or HS), I never use it."

How do I set one monitor calibration for the whole system and users?

I'm really angry because when I logged into my first default account, My settings where normal, but I logged into my alt account, the settings where all messed up (NO ONE TOUCHED MY COMPUTER, AND THE ACCOUNT HAS A STRONG PASSWORD) The white balance was that slightly blue one. So, I changed it, and logged in to the alt account again to see it was okay. I want to my main account and used screenlock, and noticed on the login screen (I logged out of the account after I saw to see this same thing) it was the light bluer white balance. So I logged in and calibrated AGAIN and it finally when back to the default on the login screen (2:2 or something and native white balance) and my preferences for my accounts (television gamma, and native white balance) I just want it system wide to be:
-2:2 TELEVISION GAMMA
-Native White Gamma
Or at-least the login screen, and my two accounts, and that settings to be the system wide default.

Thanks for helping me make it worse.
First off, if you want help, act like an adult. We're all just other users you're talking to, not Apple employees. Such angry behavior will only ensure that no one will respond to any questions by you in the future.
Second, there's nothing wrong with Kappy's advice. The /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ folder is accessible by all user accounts. So putting one common monitor profile there and setting it in each account is what you want to do.
What you're seeing is a known issue when switching users without restarting. I don't know if there's ever been a true solution for it.

Setting a Pre determined Font size for an Application.

I have a Swing application that is running on Windows and the FONT size
expands on the GUI if I change the Appearance of the Font in Windows XP
This normally should not happen as the appearances of the Windows Font size
should have no impact on the application that is running.
But to be on a safer side,can can I use any method that will have a predetermined
FONT size when the Swing application executes:
like : setFont(new Font("Courier", Font.PLAIN, 12));
The code below is the starting point of the application.
public class RFApp extends SingleFrameApplication {
     private RFMainFrame mainFrame;
     @Override
     protected void startup() {
          mainFrame = new RFMainFrame();
          setMainFrame(mainFrame);
          show(mainFrame);
public class MainFrame extends JFrame {
     private final ToolBar toolBar = new ToolBar(this);
     private final StatusBar statusBar = new StatusBar(this);
     private final MainPanel mainPanel = new MainPanel(this);
     public MainFrame() {
          super("Main Frame"); // This has a BIG FONT increase
          initComponents();
     private void initComponents() {
          setLayout(new BorderLayout());
          getContentPane().add(toolBar, BorderLayout.NORTH);
          getContentPane().add(mainPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
          getContentPane().add(statusBar, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
}

Since you really need to change foreground and etc. Use the following code to list all the resources that may set the font colors you want (the example only excludes background color resource, so it may set more than what you want, you need to pin point specific color resouces from the print out to suit your own need).
UIDefaults defaults = UIManager.getLookAndFeelDefaults();
for(Iterator i = defaults.keySet().iterator(); i.hasNext();) {
String name = (String)i.next();
Object value = defaults.get(name);
if (value instanceof ColorUIResource && !name.endsWith("Background")
&& !name.endsWith("background")) {
System.out.println(name);
UIManager.put(name, new ColorUIResource(Color.red));
}

Setting character encoding for the whole app

I have a MySQL base which uses latin1 character set. I don't know which Java uses, but when I print some polish signs it puts ? instead. How do I change the character set for the whole application? Or maybe there is some completely different way?

1. the base I have is capable of storing polish chars - at least when I view it within my visual manager it shows then no problem, so I think it's not that
2. I don't use the console - I use the JTable component to show the data
3. java stores using utf, but the app uses default system encoding - I checked it with:
Charset c = Charset.defaultCharset();
System.out.println(c.displayName());So which solution do you suggest?
And how can I change the encoding the application?
Thank's for your interest!

[AA7+] [Windows] Set default text size for "auto" setting...

Good morning:
I was wondering if it is possible to set the default font size or specify a maximum font size
for the auto setting of the font size on a text field when using the auto setting?
Currently, if the font size is set to "auto" it defaults to 12 pt. text if multiline is checked on the Options tab.
If multiline is not checked on the Options tab, the font size will adjust to the height of the box.
I would like to have the multiline checked, specify "auto" for the font size, but have the auto font size be no larger than 8 pts.
It can go smaller than 8 pts. if there is too much text in the field, but should not be larger than 8 pts. because the other form fields are in 8 pt.
If someone has any suggestions on how to achieve this, I would be most appreciative.
Thanks!
Theresa

Thanks Jongware!

How to set minimum font size in mail app?

How can I set a minimum font size in mail app? I have received mails that have a font size that seems to be smaller than 9pt which results being nearly unreadable. Sure its possible to increase the font size by pressing cmd + "+" but this setting isn't remembered for the next time I open these mails. Prior to Mavericks there was a solution to write the minimum font size to the defaults. Anything similar for Yosemite?

No, this only applies to the font size for the header displayed above the mail content and the font type and size of the Rich Text mails your are composing. With this setting you cannot modify the font size or type of received messages.

Set global font size for the whole application.
