Setting different resolution for two displays

Before I buy a Mac Mini I was wondering if I can connect two separate displays, one a 15" with XGA and the other a 8" with VGA. This is for an installation aboard a sailboat so I'm not looking to run HD, (not now anyway). I looked at the "System Preferences" on my MacBook to see what was available under "Display" and could not see where I can set up two displays with very different settings.
Is there a way to setup each display individually for simultaneous use? Thank you.

Yes, assuming that the 8" display has a resolution that the Mac can support. When you open the Displays system preference, you'll get a settings window on each display (as long as the option for Mirroring isn't checked).
Regards.

Setting different resolutions for different displays?, setting different resolutions for different displays?

Hi,
I have a 30" dell display that I have used with my MBP. I recently got a MBA and installed mountain lion. One of the things they inexplicably removed was the ability in the menu bar to set different resolutions for different displays. The only way I can get my Dell Monitor to work is to use mirroring. But I don't want mirroring. I want two separate displays. In Snow Leopard, the drop down display menu in the menu bar allowed you to pick different resolutions for different displays. Is there any possible way to do that in Mountain Lion?

Different resolutions for Macbook Pro display and External display

Is it possible to have different resolutions for a Macbook Pro and an external display. I prefer to see less but larger on my Macbook Pro whilst seeing more but smaller on my external display. I use the DVI output to connect to an Acer 22in display.
Thanks in advance

I've actually tried that process and it doesn't work; I still get the same display qualities on both. Perhaps that process might work if one is not mirroring. Maybe there is a compatibility issue between my Macbook Pro and the Acer 223W. I'll persevere, but thanks for your help anyway.

Hi Ian,
allow me to chime in:
You are absolutely correct!
In 'Mirroring Mode' both internal and external display have the same resolution.
Only in 'Extended Mode' you can have different resolutions for both displays.

Is there a way to have two different iTunes for two different iPhones on one Windows User account?

Using Windows 7, iphone 4.
I've read as many threads on these forums and as many kb's as I could find, but I sttill can't figure it out. I have 2 iPhones. Let's call them, "wife" and "hubby". I want to have two separate iTunes, one for each of the phones. Hubby is the Windoows User. I don't want to set up a different Windows User for wife.
Hubby was the original iPhone. When I plug it in, iTunes recognized it has Hubby's iPhone. Then I unplug Hubby and close iTunes. I plug in Wife but iTunes stll comes up with Hubby under Devices and syncs Hubby's iTunes to Wife's iphone.
I've tried using the shift key when I open iTunes to set up two separate .itl files to no avail.

Thanks!

What happens if you rename the iPhone "Wife" when it shows up as "Hubby", then choose a different set of apps/playlists to sync with? iTunes is supposed to be able to manage multiple devices, each with their own selection of content. Perhaps you "restored" "Wife" with a backup from "Hubby" when you first set things up which is now causing confusion.
To create a new library press and hold down the shift key as you click the icon to start iTunes and keep holding shift until asked to choose or create a library. You need to use the same technique to switch back.

How can i set different font for different tabs/pages

I want to set different fonts for different tabs/pages?
is it possible to do the same? If yes how?
I can change the fonts under tools>options>contents>advanced. but that changes global settings.
tried some add ons too- but that too changes the global settings.
some pages like tweetdeck do not display icons etc properly under custom fonts.
when i check "allow pages to select their own font" tweetdeck shows up fine but a number of other pages show fonts that are too big or some non standard fonts.
Is there a way where i can select site default fonts for some sites/tabs, and custom fonts for other sites/tabs?
otherwise i have to open different sites in different browsers- say i use my custom fonts- which apply globally, and open tweetdeck etc in Internet Explorer or Chrome etc. if i can have all tabs in one window/browser, that would be great.

It's not a built-in feature to override a page's styles on a tab-by-tab or site-by-site basis, but perhaps someone has created an add-on for this?
It also is possible to create style rules for particular sites and to apply them using either a userContent.css file or the Stylish extension. The Greasemonkey extension allows you to use JavaScript on a site-by-site basis, which provides further opportunity for customization. But these would take time and lots of testing to develop and perfect (and perfection might not be possible)...
Regarding size, does the zoom feature help solve that part? In case you aren't familiar with the keyboard and mouse shortcuts for quickly changing the zoom level on a page, this article might be useful: [[Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages]].

A good place to start is http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javatips/jw-javatip34.html
Also, do a search in this forum on HttpURLConnection. That class allows you to use POST method to send form data to a web server.
"Hidden" variables are only hidden in HTML. The HTTP that gets POSTed to the web server doesn't distinguish between hidden and not hidden. That is, the content you would write to the HttpURLConnection.getOutputStream() would be something like:
hidden=1&submit=ok(Of course, the variable names would depend on what the web server was expecting from the form.)
Also, be sure to set the Content-Type request parameter to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

Photoshop Resolution for Retina Display

Hi,
I am a iPhone/iPad UI designer. I have a question that I wanted to solve for a long time. I have created a graphics for native apps,i.e. 300x180 px with 72 ppi resolutions. Also created the same graphics 300x180 px dimension with 326ppi. For retina display will the both images be treated same? Is there will be any blurryness when zoom?
I mean to say when I suppose to send the assets of the apps to developers 326ppi resulution is necessary? or 72ppi will create same effects with the same pixel dimension?
Please find the attachments.
Thanks in advance.

Set exported resolution for each image within InDesign

I'm generating a document in InDesign destined only for the screen (as a PDF) and I'm wondering whether in CS6 the user can set the exported resolution separately for each image. i.e click on a image and set the resolution for that image. Reason: to allow end-viewers to zoom in on certain images and retain quality.
And while I'm on the subject of changing resolution, a few years ago someone wrote a script for me (in response to a post), that when you clicked on an image within InDesign, resampled the original to 300 dpi, saved it, and made the necessary adjustments in InDesign so the image stayed the same size.
Can CS6 do that? Or do I need to dig up the old script?

> ... destined only for the screen (as a PDF) ...
The developers of PDF will thank you for that statement!

A quick way to set different color for certain items in JList?

is there a quick way of setting different color for certain items in JList?

Either use HTML strings as the values in your JList (quickest, but may not be the most convenient, especially if your model isn't just text), or create your own ListCellRenderer (e.g. extend DefaultListCellRenderer).
There is no such thing as "list.setItemForeground(int index, Color c)". You'll have to use one of the methods above.

How to set different sounds for different events?

Hello I had Xiaomi Mi2s before and I could set different sound for every email account I had, for sms, for facebook and so on. How do I do it on my Xperia? Of course that for example SMS is more important then some facebook comment, so I would like to hear what happened because not every time I want to reach my phone.

Open each app > menu > settings > notification sound > change the sound > done > repeat as needed
