Small windows-

By default some programs, like xpdf, xine, gnuplot plots... have really small windows. I've tried it under openbox and xfce.
How can I change this?

Hi,
Have you tried to put it the way you want it to come up next time? Close it... restart it... should come back the way you left it. A little other trick too, in *file menu* click *new window*... resize that one with the bottom right corner tab. Close it... the red button upper left... now open another 2nd window. It should be the size you set for the 2nd window again. If you close the 1st window, it should come back to that even after a shut-off and restart of the computer. And again, the 2nd window will be the size you set for the 2nd window before. I have this for 3 windows on mine, #2 & #3 are split side-to-side so I can mess in either without moving them or bouncing back and forth... nice for a number of things... #1 is full screen start-up one.
Mine remembers where I last left it and I am the only one using this computer, if my G-Son uses it, he has his own sign-on and does his own thing there, leaving my setting alone.
Try it, Enjoy

  • IPhone 6Plus on every reboot after putting in my password it opens to a small window asking for apple id password

    everything works on phone and wow it's big compared to my iPhone 5s. went with space grey since i have had 3 white phones in a row. restored via iCloud backup. updated iTunes as i have about 3,000 songs. 250 bought the rest ripped to AAC from my cc's....what a pain but switched from my windows desktop to this new rMBP late 2013 for xmas and iTunes is slightly different on a mac than windows and where everything is stored on drive.
    anyhow problem is every time i reboot after putting in my password and arriving at whatever page i left at i get a very small window asking for my Apple id password. Now the top half is pre filled in with the email address i use for iCloud/itunes/apple/etc.
    i did see in settings there is a checkmark i cannot remove that says for apple password "ask immediately" there are no other choices. it can't be unchecked by any method i found.
    any help appreciated.

    In case anyone else gets this I hit cancel once and it has never come back.

  • Getting BHO from what looks like a program by eboom that shows up as a small window on RH bottom side. Also webpages being redirected automatically.

    I get a small window on bottom RH side of my screen with "suggested sites" Usually the very site I am on. I right click on this window and it does not act alike a normal window, cannot close it or view its source. It does state that Eboom is providing suggestions.
    Also something, i think this malware or BHO is trying to redirect my webpage. I have set up Firefox to not redirect. That helps a little. Also opening links in new tab seems to help.
    I reviewed my add-ons and extensions and nothing unusual. I have tried to look for something in history and I have found very little. I have run multiple malware, spyware, adware, and virus Scans. Used Malwarebyte, SuperAntispyware, Norton, and Exterminator from PC Pitstop, all to no help. I have looked up this information and all I find is an issue with a toolbar on IE. I do not get a toolbar.
    These links are some of the attempted redirects.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

    I am not too sure if thats a virus or trojan.. I always thought that macs didn't get virus? this looks like one to me… any experts around? please help me fix it with your instructions? really don't know what to do... thanks

    Those are not viruses. You have probably installed some malware:
    The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:
              Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
              OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              About file quarantine in OS X
    If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using Dr.Web Light from the App Store. It's free, and since it's from the App Store, it won't destabilize the system. If you prefer one of the better known commercial products, then Thomas recommends using Sophos.(Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.) If you already use Sophos, then be aware of this if you are using Mavericks: OS X Mavericks- Sophos Anti-Virus on-access scanner versions 8.0 - 9.1 may cause unexpected restarts
    From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
    The facts are:
    1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
         is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
    7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
    8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
        you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
    9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

  • I see a small window displaying "Are you sure you want to shut down your computer now". How do I stop appearing this window

    I see a small window displaying "Are you sure you want to shut down your computer now". How do I stop appearing this window

    Is this after you've chosen to Shutdown from the Menu, or just on it's own?
    You can press the esc key to cancel, or Enter key to shutdown.
    Check your System Preferences>Energy Saver>Schedule & see if it's set to shutdown at a certain time.

    my ipad won"t turn off. there is a small window with an email text in it and it appears frozen on the screen. How can i turn the ipad off?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • Could you please add to the smaller windows in mission control the icons to the open applications

    Please Apple add this feature.  I loved spaces and could see in the open windows better to know where I'm going.  Just add the icons to the small windows and that should take care of the problem.  I'm getting lost because I'm not sure which the application is in what window.

  • How to change background color in small windows?

    MacBook Pro, OS 10.6.3, G5.
    When I open an image to edit, the adjustable small windows, e.g., Navigator, size, opacty, all have a dark gray background that makes reading the number almost impossible.  Surely I am doing something wrong but I'll be danged if I can figure out how to change that background.  In fact, in the individual preferences also, e.g., Units & Rulers, the "adjustable" small windows (Column Size: width, gutter; New Document Preset Resolutions: print resolution, screen resolution) are also very dark. 
    I have used Elements for Windows for years and have just received Elements 8 for Mac and this is extremely frustrating.  I appreciate your help and your patience as I try to sort this out and solved

    I greatly appreciate the two responses above. However I think I may be out of luck. The first response doesn't seem to include the Mac operating system, which I am using, and the second may not have understood my problem - but I could not figure out how to follow the advice given using "preferences" to even try it. It appears to be a matter of terrible user-oriented design by Adobe. I have in fact started again using my earlier version on my old XP Windows machine, as my brand new version is essentially useless to me - I simply can't read the dark grey numbers on the dark grey "windows".

  • Ever since installing iCloud and Lion my computer is slow or freezes.  The color wheel comes on and My work stops.  I have only a small window of time where my computers will function normally during the day. I know many others that have the same problem.

    Ever since installing iCloud and Lion my computer is slow or freezes.  The color wheel comes on and My work stops.  I have only a small window of time where my computers will function normally during the day. I know many others that have the same problem. I'll get 20-30 minutes of work done and then a sync or something comes on, the color wheel of death shows up, and my productivity is shot.  I have to shut the computer down the hard way!  when it comes back up, it is still either frozen or slow.  I've checked in at the genius bar and all they say is that there have been some problems that Apple is trying to fix.  It effects Mail, Contacts, Safari, Calendar....yeah, pretty much everything.  My iPhone and iPad are not effected as much so I end up doing what I can with them.  I've seen the blogs out there and understand that many have the same problem.  I have been waiting to read about a fix but I have found nothing!  Any ideas?

    Not enough free space on the startup disk can slow the system down.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    For startup issues...  open System Preferences > Users & Groups - Login Items. Delete any apps listed there then restart your mac.
    And disable the Lion "resume" feature.
    Open System Preferences > General
    Deselect:   Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
    And Spotlight may be indexing... you can turn that off > Turning Off Spotlight | Mac Tricks And Tips

  • One of my bookmarks only opens in a small window & can't be maximized

    for some reason when I click on my YouTube channel now in my bookmarks, it only opens in a small window to the left & can’t be maximized, nor can I see the address on the top, if I open a new tab & click on any other bookmark it goes to that website, if I copy/paste my channel it goes to it, but if I open another tab & click on my bookmark for the channel & copy/paste again it closes 1 tab.
    Also, it also looks like you can only have about 10 visible bookmarks in the unsorted area (unlike favorites in IE, where you can have a very long list including folders, & if its too long for the window you just go to the bottom & hover on the bottom arrow & it auto scrolls until you find the website).

    You're welcome

    I have the same question.  This is also made more difficult as apple has taken away the handy full screen icon on the upper right hand corner.

  • Flashing screen, small window

    This 17 inch iBook starts up with a small 9.2 window in the center of the screen. The window is "framed" by about 2 inches of green background that starts flashing colors and flickering. The text on the screen changes colors,too. The hardrive shows only a 9.2 OS, and disk utility claims that the harddrive is okay.
    I have "PRAM"ed it.
    Any ideas?

    Come on,
    System 9 is so easy and reliable to use that it really is a case of copying the system folder over. In my opinion, MacOS9 is the best operating system built for any computer. One advantage it has over Mac OSX is that it makes no use of virtual memory whatsoever (it's an option which can but doesn't have to be used). Anyway, that's the subject of another debate I suppose.
    But really, a bit of fiddling with the Display control panel in System 9 won't hurt (plus a cable to hook up to tv and/or external monitor). Sometimes Macs will forget that the tv/monitor is no longer there and will incorrectly show it as still connected in the control panel.
    Now on Powerbooks it's always been possible to choose between an extended desktop or video mirroring - and on the so called 'consumer range' apple laptops only video mirroring is possible.
    In the displays control panel the internal monitor is diplayed as LCD and the external monitor as VGA. The two are initially plonked on top of each other so I suspect most users will not be immediately aware that there are two settings to be made when they have monitors attached.
    It's important to remember to set the LCD display resolution first. If you change the display resolution on your TV/VGA monitor from 800x600 pixels to 1280x768 pixels while your LCD is still set to 800x600 pixels, then the small window on the LCD effect will appear.
    In my case, I have the TV hooked up but I still can't change the resolution. And I don't have the cable (yet - I'm in no rush to get it) to enable my VGA monitor to be attached.
    btw, my iBook won't start up again - so it's status has now changed from 'dead' to 'unreliable'.

  • I inadvertently deleted the the small window in the top bar. My home page is cnn but the small window had google. How can I put it back?

    I want to add a small window to the right side of the home page announcement, that appears on the left of the bar.
    I inadvertently deleted it and can't get it back.

    If you right-click a toolbar item in normal (non-customize) mode then you can (re)move an item.
    * "Remove from Toolbar" will remove this item from the Navigation Toolbar and moves it to the Customize palette ("3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize)
    * "Move to Menu" will move this item to the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list
    * "Move to Toolbar" in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list will move this item to the toolbar
    Note that the search bar has changed in Firefox 34 and now only shows a generic search icon and no longer a specific search engine icon and name.
