Textbox size changing on different resolutions

Hello.
First of all, i am using Captivate 4.
I am recording some learning materials and i am recording them at a resolution of 1280x800.
After i stop recording them, i am starting to edit them and then i am publishing them as swf files.
The next stept is to put the swf file on a website.
There i see a problem: the textboxes have another dimension. They are a little biger than they are in the project.
Another thing: after i send the project file (*.cp) to another person that has a screen resolution of 1280x1024, all the textboxes appear a little larger.
Adobe Captivate modifies the textboxes size depending on screen resolution ?

Hello,
CP is all about bitmap images. Resolution is very important then. Normally you start playing a published CP-SWF starting the HTML-file and size will be kept. But apparently you just clicked the SWF or inserted the SWF, and it adapts to the screen it is playing on. Perhaps I'l try a metaphor: imagine a T-shirt with an image on it. If you try to enlarge the T-shirt, the image will be bigger, also the details like text on it. This is not captivate changing the text captions sizes :-)

  • Font sizes changed on different boxes.

    Hello everyone,
    I have a dilemna regarding my SMARTFORMS. The problem goes that on the DEV box the font sizes and working ok but when the forms were transported to the Staging (STG) box, the font sizes are smaller than those from DEV box. I am using SMARTSTYLE and a custom font. I have checked the forms and smartstyle from both boxes and they are exactly the same. The custom font is also installed in SE73. Now I don't know what to do next. Please help.

    Hi ,
    You dont have to ask them to create a new one . They will configure printers to other clients . You ask them whether u have have to use lpo1 or some other device type for printing in ur client .
    I also faced the same problem . In development it worked fine where as in qa it gave the same font problems .
    your basis person might have created some different output device in place of  lp01 .

  • Switcher ?Can you change the size of the screen resolution on the Macbook?

    I'm really interested in buying a Macbook. This will be my first Mac. I love the way they look and feel. I'm concerned with the size of everything on the Macbook. The overall size of the fonts in applications such as word, or safari was too small for me.
    Can you change the size of the screen resolution in OSX like you can on Windows? In Windows doing this makes everything visually bigger.
    Please say you can. I'm really wanting the Macbook as it would be great for for a student like me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Hopefully a Macbook 13" 2.0 Superdrive soon.
    Hopefully a Macbook 13" 2.0 Superdrive White soon.

    With an LCD, if you change the resolution, things will be bigger, but blurrier.
    You can however keep the resolution of the LCD at its native resolution, giving the maximum picture quality, and then use tools, such as Tinkertool…

    … to modify the font display size of items such as the menu bar, Finder labels etc etc.

  • Why does my maximised app window appear a different size to the screen resolution?

    First: I'm a beginner with windows programming, fumbling my way through visual studio and C# (my background is C with console applications)... sorry if this is a naive question!
    Short story: When I create a window of the same size as the screen resolution. My app window is ~20% larger than my device's screen. Why is this happening?
    Long story: I'm attempting to develop an application with a fixed size window and absolute positioning of UI elements. The application will only ever run at a fixed resolution, on a single device, borderless/non-resizeable and full-screen. The resolution
    of the display on which it will run is 1280x800 (according to the device specs and resolution reported by the windows control panel) . However, when I create a window of this size, it is too large to fit onscreen. In fact, I have to create a window 1024x640
    (0.8x screen resolution) for it to perfectly fit the screen. Anyone know why this is happening?
    Thanks!

    It sounds like you are running in a high-DPI mode but your app is not DPI aware and is getting virtualized. Windows will tell the app it's running at 96 DPI and then embiggen the rendered window so it ends up at the user's requested zoom level.

  • Is there a way to change the true resolution rather than scaling?

    Hi,
    I have searched through just about every single forum, website and search engine there is and haven't found anything. Perhaps I am phrasing my question wrong. I currently own a Macbook Pro 13.3'' Retina (Of Mid-2014 since I just bought it?) and I can't figure out how to change the resolution. The OS seems to default to 2560x1600 no matter what I set it to because I think all its changing is the scaling. Is there a way to do this? I used to own a Macbook Air 13.3'' which ran 1440x900 and I know that it was pixelated. On the same size display here...when I run the claimed "1440x900" its still ultra sharp which means its using scaling I assume. Any ideas how do I change the actual resolution, not just the scaling. The OSX settings currently seem to be just the equivalent of modifying the DPI like you can in Windows. I want to find out if there is a way to change the actual output resolution.

    The MacBook Pro like all laptops has an LCD screen. Like all LCD screens the screen has a single physical resolution, in the case of your MacBook Pro Retina 13.3" it is 2560x1600 pixels. This is the number is dots the screen is physically made of.
    In the old days when desktop computers used CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) displays which looked like TVs these sort of displays could display multiple resolutions in fact CRTs have no single fixed physical resolution. However LCDs which use totally different technology do only have a single 'real' resolution.
    If your really interested in how a CRT can do different resolutions then the answer is that a CRT uses an electron beam to excite the phosphor display on the front of the display (to make it glow), it scans from left to right, moves down a line and then does the next line, and so on till it reaches the bottom and then goes back to the top. The speed (rate) at which it does this is known as the horizontal frequency and the vertical (refresh) frequency or rate. If the horizontal line is drawn specific time and that is divided in to 640 units, then it can be told to turn off and on 640 times per line, if the same line is drawn in the same time but the interval is divided in to 1024 then it can 'draw' 1024 horizontal pixels instead of 640 horizontal pixels. In actuality the display has no physical pixel you are merely lighting up small or larger areas on the screen and hence a CRT has no single fixed resolution.
    In order for a computer using an LCD display to use a different apparent resolution it has to 'scale' the image to a different size, as a very simple example if we wanted to scale down to 1280x800 pixels which is exactly half 2560x1600 then the computer would use 2x2 (four) physical pixels to represent a single scaled pixel. Often however the chosen scaled resolution may not be an exact multiple like that example. Apple on the Retina display have provided some suggested scaled resolutions which work reasonably well these being 1680 by 1050, 1440 by 900, and 1024 by 640 pixels.
    None of these will look as good as 2560x1600 because the screen physically is made up of 2560x1600 dots and no amount of cheating will change that.

  • Why are my HD videos all importing with different resolutions?

    Hi, I tried looking through like 10 pages of discussions on here and didn't see anybody else having this problem.
    I have a Canon Vixia HF200, I keep the settings on MXP (highest quality 1920 x 1080). Every time I log and transfer my videos they import at different resolutions (everything from the same day will be the same), some of them come in as 1440 x 1080, 720 x 480, etc, when they should all be 1920 x 1080.
    So, since some of them ended up being a completely different aspect ratio, I went into Motion>Distort and changed them all to 1920 x 1080, and I thought it was fine, but now I'm noticing that some of the videos look really out of focus (it seems like they get more out of focus every time I open it), so I'm thinking I probably shouldn't have stretched them....
    I checked the original videos in the browser and they all say 1920 x 1080 now, when I watch them in the viewer, they actually look like good HD videos, but in the canvas they're out of focus...
    I'm also working with multiple sequences, and when I copy videos from one sequence to another, it changes the resolution/aspect ratio/scale again, and becomes more blurry when I try to fix it.
    So basically, I have a huge mess. I'm working on editing a documentary that I'm making and now most of the video looks bad and I'm not sure how to change it back. I even tried starting a new project and importing the original videos, but they don't seem to have the original quality.
    Anybody know how I can either fix this or somehow replace the clips in the sequence with the originals in the browser to at least get some quality back?
    Also, a lot of the time when I render, I come back to the computer and it says something like "Error: Illegal (something) render failed" and completely loses the rendering that it spent a long time doing.
    I appreciate any help.
    Lisa

    Hi Lisa,
    Your 1920x1080 clips most likely import at their normal frame size, and then you placed them in the wrong sequence. Make sure your +File > Easy Setup+ is set to *Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i60* before you create a new sequence.

  • I see the same photos with different resolutions in my iPhoto library

    I am trying to organize my photos in the iPhoto library by deleting those are stored twice or more. However in many doubles I found out that some of them exist in my library in different resolutions. My photos are imported either from my camera, or from my iphone, or from my iPad or from the shared photo streams which include photos imported from various apple devices.
    What I see for example is some photos taken from an iPhone exist in both 2048x1536 and in 3264x2448 resolution and some others in 1224x1632 and in 1536x2048 (I guess these 2 resolytions are for the vertically taken thotos while the other 2 for orizontical).  For iPad photos I see 2056x1536 and 2592x1936 for the same photos. All doubles have different names (eg. IMG_007 and IMG_1056 for the same photo). Furthermore some doubles include info about the camera (eg. iPad back camer 4.28mm f/2.4) and some others don´t (only info about the device eg. iPad).
    Why is this mess happening in my library? Apparently I want to keep in my library the photos only in the maximum available resolution for better quality.
    In relation to that I have the following questions:
    1. When a photo or a video is shared in a photo stream, is its resolution decreased to a lower one?
    2. Is there any way to see what the resolution is of the original photo stored in the iPhone or iPad, so that I can compare with the the same ones I have on my computer´s iPhoto library?
    3. Is there any way to see the resolution and other info for the Photos in a shared Photo stream which are not yet imported localy on my computer?
    Thanks in advance.

    Happy New Year to all!
    I made a test and I confirm what I was suspected at first place.
    I uploaded a photo taken from my iPhone to the shared photo stream. Then I imported this photo from the photo stream to my iPhoto library on my Mac. The resolution in which this photo is stored locally is 2048x1536 and its size 961 KB.
    Then I sent the same photo from my iPhone via e-mail. I opened the email on my computer and downloaded the photo. Then I imported it to my Mac´s  iPhoto library. I checked the info out and the resolution is now 3264x2448 and size 2.2 MB.
    Therefore the quality and resolution of the photos that are uploaded to the icloud photo stream is NOT the same as the original one.
    I don´t know whether there is somewhre an option to change that, but this is what happens to me right now.

  • Different resolution in render than in scene Premier and Ae

    Hello,
    Got this weird problem..
    My scene size is 2568x 768 px (yes its weird reso, we use pandoras box to map different sections of this resolution)
    and when i render it out with premier the reso is only 1920 x 592?
    What could be wrong with my rendering settings? Have double checed it many times.
    Same kind of trouble with Ae, but when render it out there is those black blocks witch takes certain area of my reso?
    P.s. I am new with Premier, why cant i change frame (scene) resolutions during editing? Is there some purpose?
    In Ae its easy, just from comp settings..
    Thanks,
    Kalle

    The answer to the question "Why" is pretty simple. We used to spend hours and hours helping people who had fouled up their sequence settings.
    It is much easier to tell them to drop the video on the "New Item" button. That creates a sequence of exactly the right size.
    In your case, you should drop one video on the new item button, delete it of of the timeline, then copy and paste everything on that new timeline as suggested by Joe in Post #1. 
    I just tried creating a sequence wth the settings of 2568X768 using 29.97 and square pixels. I started creating the sequence by using the standard DSLR 1080p30 preset, then I went into the Settings tab and changed the frame size.
    I then put a large still on the timeline and exported it. Once again, I started with the YouTube 1080p settings for 29.97 and then changed the frame size. I had to unlock the link between the Height and Width to get the ratio I wanted, and to do that I had to increase the Profile to high, which messed with my frame rate, so I had to change the frame rate back to 29.97.
    The export came out at exactly the right size. Note: Do not use the render files. They will just get you into trouble.

  • Mirroring Desktop at Different Resolutions

    Hello,
    Does anyone know if it is possible to mirror the desktop at different resolutions without my cinema display shrinking down the viewable area? I have a seperate 27" hdtv in my living room hooked up and I want to be able to use both displays on the desktop. When I choose to mirror, then change the resolution on my cinema display, it makes the actual viewing area the same resolution (in size) the same as the hdtv, and leaves a lot of blox surrounding the viewable area, but the tv looks great. Is there any way I can run the cinema display in full screen used at native resoluting while using lets say the hdtv at 800x600 both mirrored?
    I am going to try and switch the ports on the back of my macpro and see if that makes a difference, any suggestions would be awesome!
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Thank you for the reply, unfortunetly I know what your saying, I do know the difference between screen spanning and mirroring. I have a specific need where I want to mirror my desktop to two different screens at different resolutions. That is simply it. I have set up my hdtv in another room and cannot use the screen spanning since a) I cannot access the dock from my lcd, becuase my cinema display screen is in another room b) half the time I cannot even find the mouse. When I setup mirroring, and attempt to set the cinema display to bative 1600x1050 resolution, it puts the screen in a type of compressed viewable, where the actual dimensions are 800x600, which is what my hdtv is running at (I have to run it at 800x600 because I am using a homemade vga over cat5e converter and the hdtv looks and runs bests (without ghosting) at this resolution).
    So the main question is, is it possible to diplsay the same desktop onto two different monitors at different resolutions with distortion of either dispkay?
    If you would like a photo of what is happeneing on my cinema display, just let me know, it is hard to describe and I dont blame the doubtness of this thread.
    Thank you for helping out!

  • Mouse pointer is unchangeable at 100% scaling in multi monitor setup with different resolutions

    Hi there, I have been asked by one of the moderators of the Windows 8.1 forums to post this topic here.  You can see the thread relating to this post here
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-tms/cant-change-the-cursor-pointer/ae8ad8a0-3ded-4810-a3be-794f6c4830a4?msgId=2bd7082f-f5d1-4b01-8c70-e0d2a754d66f&page=1<o:p></o:p>
    The problem:  The mouse pointer becomes unchangeable in size, type, trails etc when 100% scaling is used.  As in it reverts to the standard small white non-inverted, no trails,
    no shadow 'pointer', no matter what options you select in the 'Mouse' control panel settings.<o:p></o:p>
    This appears to be a scaling problem with the Windows 8/8.1 display, not an actual mouse problem.  Judging by my own and other peoples experience it seems to happen mainly with multi
    monitor setups where different screen resolutions are used.  The issue occurs typically when 100% scaling for all monitors is used or this option is un-ticked and the 'change the size of all items' is on smallest (equivalent to 100%).  <o:p></o:p>
    If the scaling is set to 150% or greater the issue disappears and the mouse pointer becomes fully functional.  Also bizarrely when the scaling is set to 100% if the screen is recorded
    using a screen capture program, the recording of the screen shows the mouse pointer selected in the mouse options and not the default small white cursor that is present when recording it.  Here is a link to a video where I explain and show the problem
    happening on my system.  http://youtu.be/xs2cxoeaq-A<o:p></o:p>
    I have every update installed without exception, latest drivers etc.  I use a 55" 4k screen with 2x1080p monitors in portrait on either side.  All are connected through 1 Nvidia
    GTX 780 6GB graphics card<o:p></o:p>
    Hope you can help us<o:p></o:p>
    thanks<o:p></o:p>
    Jon M<o:p></o:p>

    Hi Jon,
    I'm looking into this issue but it will take me some time to provide a reply. 
    In the meantime I noticed that you have 3 monitors with 1x 55' and 2x27' - please have a try to only connect 1x27' monitor and see if issue persists.
    Also please try to change the screen resolution to a lower size and see if issue persists. 
    Both suggestions are not solution, I just would like to know if it is related to multiple monitor or screen resolution.

  • Layout problem in Different Resolutions

    Hi All,
    I have a application which i have designed using null layouts and the resolution i have used is 1024x768. Now when i open the same application in 800x600 resolution some of the components placed at the bottom of the application are not seen. To resolve this issue i designed using GridBagLayout but still some of the components were not seen..Can anyone help me on how to resolve this issue..
    Thanks in advance

    Ya the size of the container was changed but our application is such that
    use of scrollpane is not recommended..Hence the problem..I have checked some softwares

    according to the resolutions..But am yet to find out how it was achieved..

  • Print a graph when used different resolutions

    Hello,
    my LV programm
    (using V8.5.1) must run on computers with different resolutions (1024x768,
    1280x1024...), so I used the option
    "new scaling of all frontpanel elements after changing the windows size" (free translating   )
    (German: "Alle Elemente des Frontpanels bei Änderung der Fenstergröße neu skalieren")
    in my VI.
    This works fine but now I have some trouble with the printout of a graph.
    Depending of the selected resolution of the computer, the graph will be printed complete or only partial, then the lower part of the graph is missing.
    To print out the graph I used the VI  "Append Control Image to Report.vi"
    Can anybody help me?
    Gruß
    jan91

    Hello Jan,
     you are right - when printing the report in landscape orientation, images will be cropped if higher than the paper size.This issue has already been reported to our LabVIEW R&D team (#36511) and should be solved in a forthcoming update of the report generation toolkit. In my opinion, the issue is linked to the problem that the image will not fill out the report page completely to the right margin (#36926), another nuisance you might also have encountered.
    I have created a workaround for the problem,  which you should find attached to this post. As you change the graphs background color for printing, I added another property to resize the graph to the maximum printable size (evaluated here in trial&error, depending on your printer, the maximum size might change a bit), and another one to restore the original size when the report is done. To reduce the "blink time" of the graph, I placed the restoring property node directly after the control image has been attached to the report, so that during printer initialization, the original layout is already visible again.
    Hopefully, this is acceptable for you, until these issues have been fixed.
    Best regards,
    Sebastian

  • How to resize the front panel to fit different resolutions

    I m using LabVIEW 8.2 on Windows XP SP2
    I've tried both “maintain proportions of window for different monitor resolutions” and “scale all objects on front panel as the window resizes” selected but just messed up everything when i switched to another different resolution. It's annoying since I'm using 22 inch monitor to do the coding but the user supposed to run it on laptop or wince.
    Any solutions to it?
    Thx in advance.

    Thank you all. Following is the reply from NI support.  I think the best way is to edit vi in low resolution.
    One of the easiest ways to tackle varying screen resolutions is to design
    the front panel to the lowest resolution that you expect it to run on. It
    should then look acceptable on any screen larger than that.
    However, you can get a bit more tricky by programmatically determining the
    computer's screen resolution and then dynamically changing the size of your
    front panel objects. Use an Application Property Node and select
    Display>>All Monitors to return the current screen size. Then, according to
    the screen size, you can size the control or indicator programmatically
    using the Size property node for your front panel objects.
    Ultimately, these issues have often been a result of font size issues.
    Specifically, this can be a problem when two machines have different
    desktop theme/font settings. If your objects are coming out in different
    sizes on different computers, you can setup up LabVIEW to use the same font
    on different systems by modifying the .INI file.
    The easiest way is to do this: use Tools->Options->Fonts from the LabVIEW
    GUI. You can then set the system fonts to anything you want. After you
    have done this on one machine, open your INI file (it is in the same
    directory as the LabVIEW executable) with any text editor and copy the
    corresponding entries to another file. Add these entries to the INI files
    on any machines you want to lock to font. You will probably run into
    issues if you are supporting different platforms (Windows and Mac or Mac
    and Linux, for example), since the fonts you want may not be available on
    both platforms. There are Windows fonts available for both Mac and Linux
    platforms, so this can be somewhat ameliorated.
    This is all I can think of, but that's not to say these are the only
    solutions. You might check the Discussion Forums, as many of our LabVIEW
    Champions have tackled similar issues and offer their expertise as well.
    Here's just a few threads that I'd like to refer you to:

  • After copying a file from NTFS to HFS volume, file size changed when viewing in Windows

    Hi guys,
    I have a Mac Air running Mavericks on a HFS partition and Windows 7 on a BOOTCAMP NTFS partition. I have some files that I want to read/write from/to both systems. Since OS X can't write NTFS and Windows can't write HFS either, and I don't want to use any 3rd-party tools/drivers, I have to adopt a "stupid" way: in OS X, I copy those files from NTFS to its HFS partition, make changes, then switch to Windows and sync them back to NTFS.
    The problem is, after I copied a file from NTFS to HFS in OS X, it seemed ok. But when I switched to Windows, the very copied file in HFS partition had its size changed (bigger) although I didn't make any changes to it in OS X yet. This happens to almost every file I copied, text and binary. For those text files, I tried to open it with EditPlus in Windows and EditPlus reports the correct size on the status bar.
    How could this happen?

    I am not sure if this is what your seeing but...
    The same unaltered file on two different volumes might use different amounts of disk space. This is because a 'disk' is divided in to 'blocks' and a block (also historically known as a 'sector') is a certain minimum size. So if disk-1 has a block size of 512 bytes and disk-2 has a block size of 1024 bytes then a file containing just 10 bytes will use up twice as much space on disk-2 as disk-1 even though it is the exact same file.
    Beyond that, Macs can add additional information like Spotlight tags, labels, icons, etc. which make a file bigger. If you are modifying a file then presumably that also implies adding additional content e.g. for a Word document more text and this will make it bigger. Also depending on some programs are configured or designed 'deleting' text may only mark it as deleted and not really delete. This can apply to older versions of Word which has a 'Fast Save' feature, new versions have removed this and do a proper delete.
    You would have to give more details like what you are doing to the document, what kind of document, and what the two sizes are.
    Finally, there is one other potential difference, some systems and manufacturers use 1024 as a unit for measuring file and disk sizes, some use 1000. It will be the same number of bytes in each case but 1000 bytes in one case would exactly equal 1MB, and in the other it would be 0.9765MB.

  • How to change external display resolution WITHOUT clicking "CONFIRM"?

    I have a somewhat unusual situation. My MacBook laptop is actually now a ModBook (a pen-tablet computer), and as such I no longer have a trackpad attached to it. All of my inputs are via the stylus, tapping directly on the built-in display.
    This works perfectly fine, except when I need to give presentations on an LCD projector (which is quite often lately). I like to use the projector as an external monitor, so that I can run the Keynote presentation on it while using my laptop screen as the presenter's display, with the upcoming slide, etc. If the projector doesn't give me an ideal native display option (sometimes, the aspect ratio for the  3 or 4 resolutions available in the Displays drop-down in the menubar turn out to be stretched or squeezed), then I, naturally, have to open the Display System Preferences and try out different resolutions.
    The problem is, since my stylus only interacts by clicking directly on the built-in-display, I have no way of moving the cursor over to the external display when the dialog box with the "Click here to confirm change/You have 15 seconds..." message appears. So I can never click it ... so I can never confirm the new settings.
    The workarounds I've used so far are:
    - Mirror displays (not ideal, as I need the presenter preview of the next slide)
    - borrow a mouse from someone (usually from a Windows desktop, frankly) and plug that in to briefly mouse over and click the confirm button
    I'd love to find a software workaround that allows me to NOT mirror displays and also doesn't require me to carry around a mouse all the time (my laptop bag is already overstuffed...).
    Thanks.
