Set my background image with right click?

Is there a way to set a picture as my desktop background without looking through tiny pictures in system prefs? I just want the right click feature. The only way this works is if you right click a picture ONLINE, but this doesnt work in my pictures folder...

You can always drag a picture from your folder into Safari, then right click and select "Use Image as Desktop Picture"--might hit a snag though with some things in portrait orientation, they can display in landscape.
Another option is make an Automator action, save it as a plug-in for Finder. You then right click, go to More, Automator, and select your action and get the new Desktop.

  • Unable to select an image with right click of the mouse

    When in Library mode using grid view, right clicking on a thumbnail does not select the thumbnail, and previously selected items remain selected. If you then try to delete the item, you can inadvertently delete multiple items that you did not intend to delete and not the item you wanted to delete.
    Right clicking on an already selected image or one of a group of selected images works and all selected images can be deleted. However a right click on a non selected image should should drop any current selections and select only the image clicked. (This can be verified in Bridge)
    I am using Lightroom 1.3.1 in Windows XP SP2 with 2 gig of ram.

    Have you switched your mouse buttons i.e have you changed assignments to your mouse buttons in the control panel?
    If not, then clicking on an image will select it, CTRL-Click will select non-contiguous images, SHIFT-Click will select contiguous images.
    Right-clicking will show a context menu. (and the context menu will change if you have single multiple images selected: e.g if you select two images you will see a menu item Open in Compare that is not there if only a single image is selected, Delete Photo... becomes Delete Photos... etc)
    Also, in grid or filmstrip view you will see up to three levels of brightness on the frames around thumbnails:
    -lightest frame: the active image i.e. the one that will be opened if you go to develop mode, or will be used as "source" for synchronize command etc
    -medium: other images that you have selected.
    -darkest: images that are not selected.
    Selected images will also have a white frame immediately around the thumbnail.

  • Can't Download Images with Right-Click on Mouse

    I can't download images by right-clicking my mouse, like I do on my PC. For example, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Dakota and look at the images of the flag, state seal and map near the top right corner of the page...
    When I place my cursor over any of these images on either my PC or my MacBook Pro, my cursor changes to a hand, indicating that the images are hyperlinked. If I right-click on an image, I can choose a SAVE AS command on my PC, but nothing happens on my MacBook Pro.
    If I left-click on a linked image, it simply zooms in, rather than taking me to another page. I'm using a small Kensington mouse.
    This could be a Firefox problem. I think I recall downloading some sort of extension that allows you to zoom in on images, and I suspect it's more or less taken over. If so, I'll have to track down the name of the extension and try and zap it.
    But I thought I'd check here first, just to see if other people have this same problem - or if you can suggest alternate strategies for downloading images.
    Thanks.

    Well, I found a novel solution - it's called Safari.
    I'll post on the Firefox forum to figure out why I
    can't download images with it, but it seems to work
    just fine with Apple's native browser. Thanks for all
    the tips.
    I just tried it, but I am using firefox 2.0 beta and I had no problems. Not sure what's going on. Have you tried any other pages or pics besides this one, which I don't think it would matter just wondering.

  • Does ne1 now the html code to set a background image=non repeat, center for dreamweaver or where to find it?

    Im trying to set up an about me page like that of myspace.com
    i know that in myspace you can set the background image center non
    repeat can this be done as will with dreamweaver?

    Hello,
    Yes, it can be done using CSS.
    You can place this in your code, right before </head>.
    Just substitute your image for mypicture.jpg.
    <style type="text/css">
    <!--
    body {
    background-image: url(mypicture.jpg);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: center center;
    -->
    </style>
    -OR-
    You can also do this using DW's dialog boxes (like a wizard).
    If you have DW8 or CS3...or MX2004 if memory serves, you can
    right click on
    your page in design view.
    Select CSS Styles > New
    A CSS Rule dialog box opens.
    Select tag, then in the tag box, type body.
    You can select whether you want to add the CSS to this page
    (like the code
    above) or to a stylesheet linked to this page. If you are
    going to use CSS
    on multiple pages, it's a good idea to use a stylesheet. Then
    you can make
    changes in one place that affects all the pages linked to
    that stylesheet.
    When you click OK, a new box will open where you can define
    your CSS.
    Select "background" from the sidebar, and the fill in areas
    are pretty self
    explanatory.
    I hope that helps.
    Take care,

  • Why is there a scroll bar though I set the background image to "scale to page size"?"

    Why is there a scroll bar though I set the background image to "scale to page size"?"

    The current build of iTunes may occasionally draw the scroll bar off the edge of the screen. It should be possible to resize the window to reveal the scroll bar.
    You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
    Ctrl-B to turn on the menu bar.
    Ctrl-S to turn on the sidebar.
    Ctrl-/ to turn on the status bar.
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the previous search behaviour.
    You can also open the menu bar temporarily by pressing Alt.

  • Setting a background image using CSS Designer

    I am trying to set a background image for a page header using the CSS Designer. When I click the browse button the Select Image Source dialog box launches but any time I click on something the dialog box closes and no changes are made. Does anyone know what is causing this?

    Which DW are you using and which platform/OS, please? I am unable to reproduce this with CC2014 on OS10.9.4

  • How to set a background image to fill the entire screen on any device in a spark mobile application

    Hi,
    I started developing a mobile application with Flex.
    I'm trying to set a background image to fill the whole screen. I've been stucked at this point for days now. I tried everything and no solution seems to work for me.
    I'm using a TabbedViewNavigatorApplication and i need to set some background images on views.
    I need my image to fill the entire screen on any device. i don't need to mantain image aspect ratio,  just need it to be fullscreen. This seemed to work when setting a custom skin on the TabbedViewNavigatorApplication, however this blocked all my views for some reason and all components contained in view became invisible.
    Can you please tell me how can i achieve this?
    Kind regards,
    Dan

    Basically you need a larger image which can accommodate any device. The trick is to show only what each device can display, so therefore some clipping will occur based on device. Have something centered and towards margins have a  gradient or just plane colors that way the stuff in the middle will be visible on every device while nobody will care if you are clipping from the color fill.

  • Email Security Plug-in - Doesn't seem to work with right click or save and send

    I've searched the knowledge base but have not located the answer yet.
    We have the Encrypt Message plug-in installed to flag the email [SEND SECURE].  This works very well when in Outlook.  It does not seem to work when right clicking a file to send outside of Outlook or performing Save and Send from within Microsoft Office.  The add-in still shows and users are clicking it and the Send button but the emails are not going securely.  We are on Microsoft2010 on mostly XP machines.
    How can I get Encrypt Message to work in all instances?
    Thank you.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:

    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.

  • How to Remove "OLAP Functions with right-click" in Workbooks (By VBA?)

    Dear Experts:
    After we created workbooks, to prevent end users from using certain BEx functions, we greyed out some "icons"
    on SAP BEx Menu in the workbooks. But now we have one problems: because we also made "Setting" unable on the menu bar, now we are not able to remove one marked selection: "OLAP Functions with right-click". Is there any way we can disable "OLAP Functions with right-click", then users can only use the normal Excel functions in the workbooks??
    Thank you very much and BR
    SzuFen

    Hello,
    Go to Business Explorer Menu, Select Settings, Uncheck OLAP Function with Right Click and save it as existing workbook.
    I have tried it. It works, when you reopen, it will be still disable..
    Hope it helps.

    So, where in reflow can I set the background image?

  • Disable (all) functions on the block diagram with right-click menu

    Hello to everyone,
    here is one more idea, which I'd like to propose. 
    As for me, it would be useful to have the following: when all components (functions, wires, subVIs, etc.) are selected on the block diagram (like, after ctrl+A), operator could do right-click, and in the menu would appear menu item "Disable everything". After it, all the code could be placed into Disable structure. 
    Of course, I can add Disable structure to block diagram manually, and cover whatever I want, but with right-click menu it would be much faster.
    Also, it can be modified to disable only selected items - then each of them can be placed into separate Disable structure, and, for example, additionaly in the enabled case of Disable structure, corresponding wires will be connected. Sometimes it is needed for testing - just to disable couple functions, and test subVI. Or to disable subVI fully (it's faster, then disable place, where it is called. Especially, if subVI is used in many places).
    It will not make debugging difficult, because anyway Disabled structures are used; such functionallity can just make life a little bit easier...
     

    There is always the File->New... which opens up a new window.  You can have your templates in that window by putting them somewhere (I don't remember where at the moment).
