Setting JLabel's default size

Hi:
I've had a problem of setting JLabel's size. I used several methods such as setMaximumSize() and setMinimumSize() to set the size of JLabel so that it will have a defined size, no matter how much text it contains. But it doesn't work.
The JLabel is added in a JPanel. I've also tried to use those setSize() methods on JPanel, it doesn't work either.
Please help!
thanks!

Which layout manager are you using? Not all layout managers use maximum size and minimum size -- for example GridLayout will size your labels to fit exactly in the grid regardless.

How do I set the default size of a new folder?

I have finder sized the way I want for existing folders and if I do Finder > New Finder Window. These preferrences, however, do not seem to apply to new folders. Everytime I create a new folder on my desktop, and open that folder for the first time, the window size is really small and the sidebar is narrow. This is incredibally annoying. How do I set the default size for all new folders? Is there a plist file I can edit to fix this? Or an AppleScript I can run automatically in the background that fixes this? I am running Mavericks 10.9.1.

If you use the Finder's New Finder Window command (command N) to create a new window, resize it, place it where you want, and set it for icon view or however you want it. Then close it. Closing it is what sets these as the default. That should become the default for every new Finder window you create using the new window command. But if you have lots of windows open at once and then close them, the last window you close will set a new default.
There are lots of utilities that control Windows - their size and placement. I use one called Moom but there are many more.

How to set default size for .chm window?

I know there is an answer at grainge.org, but it seems to be
referring only to a .chm using skins, which I am not.
Anybody know how to make the default size of the .chm larger?
thanks, Leisa

Lacona,
The default window size is set in your windows properties
dialog in RoboHelp. It can also be set manually in the .hhp file
before you compile. If you open the .hhp file in a text editor,
such as Notepad, you will see a [WINDOWS] section and for each
window defined there will be a series of numbers. One of these is a
vector [in square brackets] that defines the original position.
These are absolute screen pixels.
In older versions of RoboHelp, one of which I use, there was
a limit to the size of the window RH would allow but when I changed
the .hhp, RoboHelp didn't try to overwrite it unless I reopened the
Windows properties dialog. I'm not sure how the latest versions
handle this but you might try editing the .hhp with Notepad and
then compiling the .chm.

How to set default size for published SWF in Catalyst CS5.5

I create a 800*600 pixel project in Catalyst CS5.5 and published it as .swf.
But when I opened the published .swf, the default size is smaller than 800*600. I have to resize it by myself.
So is there any method that I can set the default size for published .swf?
Thank you guys! Best regards.
Nick

When you start new Flash Catalyst project, you have the option to enable resizing
This setting is enabled by default.
If you need to change this later, you can go into Modify > Artboard settings.
Now when you publish your project, the width and height will be used instead.
As to manually editting the HTML file, there are 3 tag sets that define the width and height of the project (to handle various browsers). You will need to adjust the values in each of those tag sets. You should only need to do this if you can't republish the file.

Icon Resizing, How do I set a default size across all windows?

Anyone know how to set the default icon size? I can resize them in each window, but I want to resize all of them across all windows. They are all so small now and I want to make all finder windows show the bigger size.
Thank you.

You're wrong. Every window that you open for the first time inherits whatever
you set as the defaults via view options. Previously opened windows retain
whatever settings they had previously.
Wrong here. The newly opened window get the settings of the previously opened window IF the check box of the Command-J window is not checked.
If the last opened window have "text on the right", text size to 9, and you close it and open a window who do not have the CheckBox [open in Icons] checked, your window will inherit the previously opened window settings (even if it was closed before you open the window)...
And I do not talk about reboot because I have TROUBLES with that on my SL machine (clean, very clean install [three times!]).
About the only thing you can't choose is how large
the window is when first opened. To reset everything, run this command in the
Terminal: copy & paste, hit the return key, and at the Password: prompt,
carefully type in your admin password, and hit the return key.
How do you do the reverse ?

Hi! Question about setting default size when opening existing PDF's.

The pdf documents i download all seem to open up at 202% size. Is there a way to set my default size (for opening and reading documents) to something smaller, so I don't have to always use the magnifying tool to shrink them? Thanks!

Under Preferences | Page Display, set Zoom to 100% or whatever you would like to open it with.

Set the initial (default) window size

The default size of Pages (actually, of all the iWork apps) is smaller than I like and I repeatedly have to resize the window to a size I prefer. Is there any way to specify a new default window size for iWork apps?
Thanks.

One of my frequent answers:
You need to create your own default template. Open the blank template & insert a table, click in it & choose the font, size, color, etc. you want in the fonts panel or format bar. You can do similar changes to inserted objects & text boxes. While you're at it resize the box if you want, set the amount of extra space in the wrap inspector, etc. Delete each text box, object & table after you've set them. Now, save this document as a template & select that template as default in preferences. If you decide to make any changes to the template down the road, just Save As Template again with the same name & replace the previous version.
Now, save this as a template then, in Pages > Preferences, select this template as the default for new documents. All of your new documents will have these settings for inserted objects, images & tables. Unfortunately, the settings won't apply to any other templates or "foreign" documents you open with Pages.
About the only thing you can’t set a template to do is remember to show invisibles & the window position. It is possible to get a template to show invisibles when opened, if you want. Save this document as a document then, in the Finder, change the extension from .pages to .template & put it in your My Templates folder in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates.Set up your document with the line spacing, margins, headers, etc. as you'd like. Redefine all of the paragraph & character styles to have your desired font.

How to set my windows to open at their default size every time.

Ok, when I connect to my computer with splash top from my ipad my windows resize. Is there a way to set my windows to just open at default size no matter what. So every time I open a program the window is at default factory settings size.
Thank you,

Use DW's OpenBrowser Window behavior.
> Is that database related?
The pop up window is not, but the processing of the login is
likely to be.

Setting default size for the information area in the main window

Hi, I wonder if there is any way to change the default size of the information area in the main window (lower left corner). I want it a little bigger because I had some useful information set there and I had to change the size every time I log in.
Thanks in advance.

That part of the interface doesn't have an exposed preference to control.
One thing you could do is reorder your metadata fields within the info pane so the most important are listed first and always visible.

Safari Panel Default Size - How to set?!

Hi and tnxs for reading.
How can we set a default size for popup / new panel in Safari?
Sometimes we surf website were by clicking a link we have another panel opened. I have a lot of this popup in some website I am using for my job.
However I have to resize these panel everytime because they are too small by default and cannot read all the msg inside.
What is the way to resize by default with dimensions I choose?
Many thanks

Hi ..
You can resize a Safari window by dragging out the bottom right corner of any Safari window.
Or try full screen mode.
Control + Command + F enters and exits full screen mode.

Tab groups - set default size of single tab group in a window?

When I have a single tab group in a window, and enter the tab-group-view-mode (the one for which ctrl-shift-e is the default), the tab group box only fills up a limited portion of the upper left corner of the window.
I can of course resize it with the mouse, but how can I set it to fill up the whole space by default?

I know its all open, in the past you could add a style sheet to the file grabbing the styles Reference[http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2443805] but I am not sure if this is supported anymore?
[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Customizing_Firefox] may be helpful too, but I do not think that the document is complete.
If you open the size of the Group tab is should stay that size, I do not think there is a way to change the default size yet.

Does anyone know the default size for 24 in. imac display?

I inadverently changed the display size on my 24 inch imac. The font in the toolbar at the top of the desktop is larger than I want. Also, when I open windows in different applications, they open larger than the display and have to be downsized in order to see the entire window.
Does anyone know the default size for this display? Or is there a different way to fix my issues?
thanks in advance.

Hi Napamike2: The default setting for the 24" is 1920X1200. If that doesn't get you back to the proper display, maybe you have accidentally activated "Zoom". To check go to System Preferences, Universal Access. Check that Zoom is turned off.

what is meant by other objects? is the part of same smartform that is not being displayed completely? Please clarify.
also I mentioned 1000px as just one value so that to maximize the page size. you can use various sizes and need to do trial and error so that PDF will be displayed in optimized size and it will be then same in all systems.
Thanks,
Chandra

Changing the default size of imported images

I create slides using other programs and import them into Keynote. Whenever I import an image it comes up as 800 x 613 so I have to go through the inspector to change the proportions (after checking not to scale) to 800 x 600, then have to right click to center it horizontally and then right click again to center vertically.
1. Is there a way to have Keynote open my images as default of 800 x 600?
2. Is there a quicker way of doing what I'm doing?

View master slides and select the slide you would like to have the pictures imported on. Insert one of the pictures and set it to the size and the position you want. Then go to Format>Advanced>Define as Media Placeholder. Then when you want to insert you pictures, select the Placeholder and insert the picture you want. It will be scaled to fit the placeholder.

Default size of Cover Flow

Is it possible to set the default size of the Cover Flow window?
And keep the same size when you scale the entire window?

I have read that Vector has default size of 10 while ArrayList has 0.Don't believe everything you read.
But I read here
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Vector.html
and
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/ArrayList.html
Exactly. That's the Javadoc. That's the specification of those APIs.
Please clear my confusion.Why? There's nothing to be confused about.. Why would you believe anything you read here or elsewhere over what it says in Javadoc? There are just two things you can believe: the Javadoc and the Java Lanugage Specification. Everything else is wrong where it disagrees. By definition.
