The 'Monitor Size' setting could do with an update

This isn't the most important issue in the world, but I did notice that the 'Monitor Size' setting in Frame 11 (Edit > Preferences > Global > General > Monitor Size) hasn't changed for years.
It's used so that when you have your screen set to 100% zoom, it matches the real paper world in size.
But - it just has a drop-down for 'diagonal width" monitor size which assumes a 4:3 aspect ratio (as per old CRT monitors) and only goes up to 22". I'm currently typing on a 23" 'widescreen' (16:9) monitor so I don't think that diagonal width drop-down is going to do much useful for me

I presume this setting wasn't fixed in FM12, and still assumes a quaint single-screen 4:3 aspect ratio.
Back when computers were slower, and I was doing a lot of work with relatively high res TIFFs, I figured out that if I set Monitor Size and zoom levels carefully, I could get specific zoom levels to render raster images at exact integer multiples or fractions of the video card's frame buffer raster dimensions. I found that this made a huge difference in display & refresh performance. At 1:1, doing so apparently eliminated resampling of the image data entirely. At integer 1:N or N:1, it apparently minimized the computation required, and minimized artifacts.
This sort of consideration is less important today, but it would be nice to get the parameter fixed, or at least publish a FAQ on how to game the 4:3 assumption for 16:9, 16:10 and 21:9 monitors, as well as arbitrary multi-monitor configurations.

Fit the ALV grid to the monitor size

Hi all,
Please let me know how i can fit the ALV grid to the monitor size of the user. That is The grids should be layered and expanded to the full width of the users monitor.
Thanks in advance
Jey Sabith Ebron

Hi Jey,
You can fit ALV grid to monitor size by defining the container as docking container.
In this case, you neednot create a custom container .
You can use the following code:
CONSTANTS: lc_height TYPE i VALUE 1200.
DATA: go_container       TYPE REF TO cl_gui_docking_container,
      go_alv_tree        TYPE REF TO cl_gui_alv_tree.

        side                        = 2                        " Top
        extension                   = lc_height
        metric                      = 1                        " Pixel

        lifetime_error              = 4
        lifetime_dynpro_dynpro_link = 5
        OTHERS                      = 6.

      failed                      = 6
      illegal_column_name         = 7.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE x398(00) WITH 'ERROR'.
ENDIF.
Code above is for ALV tree.
You can define any ALV grid object using docking container.
This will solve your problem.
Let me know if you face any issues.
Thanks,

Is there a bug with the font size setting?

I am using the Samsung Galaxy S3 phone. I cannot change the font size using the settings in mobile firefox. It appears to be stuck on the smallest font. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app with no success. Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

I have done some testing in the last 20 minutes and am convinced there is a conflict caused by Final Cut Express 3.0.
I opened and closed Audacity, Sound Studio and iMovie three times each with no problem.
I did the same with FCE and each time the Line In Volume control had reverted to the 50% setting.
So it appears there is a bug (at least with my setup).
Is there a cure - other than resetting System Preferences every time?
Ian.

How to minimize the file size of a file with drawing markups

Scenario:
I need to turn a sample of a report into a report template, so I am deleting as many objects as I can with the Tools>Content>Edit Object. For text that I cannot delete that way, I am covering it up with a white box (Comment>Drawing Markups>square and setting outline = white and fill = white). On this particular PDF, there are about 20 of these white boxes. I'm then using Preflight>Flatten annotations and form fields to flatten all of the markups.
Problem:
Unfortunately, even after using Preflight and Save As>Reduced Size PDF, the file size is still over 900 kb. The original file size before I make any changes is less than 150 kb. I need the final file size to be 200-300 kb.
Settings:
Windows 7
Adobe Acrobat X Pro
Solutions?
I may be going about this all wrong, so any advice you have is much appreciated! The only other thing I can think of to do (since I can't get a blank sample report), is to recreate the report in Word and then PDF it. I'm hoping there's a better solution. I tried Photoshop first and the file sizes were in the MBs, so I switched to Acrobat. Maybe a different program would work even better?

Basically that is what Bill is telling you. The best method is to:
create the design of the form in Word.
Save as a PDF (on a Mac the best method is to go to print menu click pdf and hold mouse or track pad button down, and Chose Adobe PDF) .
Then open PDF in Acrobat
Click on Tools
Click on Forms and create form. Either letting acrobat create the fields and add or take away fields as need. Or create fields manually.
This way should you need to make correction you can open the original Word Document, Make chages save as PDF The in open original in PDF. Click on Tools > Pages and choose replace pages and replace desired page(s) as needed. Then readjust fields if needed or add or take fields as needed.

Changing the font size does not work with Textarea with HTML Editor

If you change the font size in the text area of a "Textarea with HTML Editor" item it does not work. I've searched the forum and the only solution I've seen is to use an HTML editor foriegn to APEX. Does anyone have a better solution? Thanks, Elizabeth

I'm having a similar issue except with HTML Editor Standard.
What I'm doing is allow someone to write to an HTML Editor Standard field and then an HTML marked up text is saved to a db CLOB column. In another page, I reference this DB column and show it in an HTML Region (I do a computation Before Regions for a hidden item that writes out the html with "htp.p")
Everything shows up fine EXCEPT the font tags and headings. I'm finding that the HTML Region sets the font size only with the < d i v s t y l e="font-size: large" >and NOT < f o n t size:6 >. When the HTML Editor renders the user's text input, any size changes are made with the < f o n t > tag, which is depreciated anyways, and not with "style". That's why the size is not showing up.
I can't really figure out why the headings aren't showing up except maybe the css style in the region is overridding it...
Is there another APEX item type like HTML Editor (which uses FCKEditor) that I can use, or maybe another approach to remedy this issue? Or maybe this post calls for an enhancement with the HTML Editor?{size}{size}

I can't change the type size in a link with contribute

When I edit a web page with Contribute and create a link, it changes the text size in the link. Nothing I can do will let me change it. I have looked at page properties, changed the font, etc., nothing works. Please help!

The links may be controlled by the sites CSS file. Have you looked at that?
It would look similar to this:
a:link {
color: #006666; border-bottom:1px dotted #006666;text-decoration: none

Aaple Tv and PS3, can the 2 be set up together with my tv?

aple Tv and PS3, can the 2 be set up togethe

Welcome to the Apple Community.
They can both be used with your Tv. I'm not sure I fully understand what you mean by together, they can't be used at the same time, there can't be any interaction between them, but they can be installed side by side and each used as and when needed independently of each other.
I see what you mean now.

I have a new MBAir 2013 13", and I had a MBPro 2010 13". I've installed iPhoto 9.4.3 but now iPhoto says my library (stored on an external HDD) cannot be read until I update the software because it's made with an updated iPhoto... but it IS updated!

As the tile says, I've recently bought a MBAir 2013 13". When I installed and updated iPhoto, I wanted to use my library, stored on an external hdd, which I used until the day before on my old MBPro 2010 13", without any problems. Now iPhoto says that this library cannot be opened by my iPhoto but it has to be opened with an updated iPhoto... but I had iPhoto 9.4.3 on my MBPro and I have iPhoto 9.4.3 on my MBAir! What can I do? Thanks a lot (sorry for my english, I'm Italian)

It's mac os format
BTW I solved my issue! I repaired my library with the last option... and I did not lost anything thanks anyway!

Set the minimal size of a Component with BorderLayout

Hi,
I got a little problem using BorderLayout.
The scenario is :
A JPanel placed BorderLayout.WEST got a size a few pixel too small for a JTable contained in this panel to paint all names of the table header.
If i set the preferredScrollableViewportSize larger then a specific amount the table disappear(shrinks to a tiny size)
The panel uses GridBagLayout...
How can i set the size of this "west"-component of the border layout a little larger?
regards
Olek

My understanding of help is an other then only post messages likeWell, your understanding, in my opinion is wrong.
You must post a self documenting program ...Not everybody who uses this forum speaks english as their main language. Even if english is your main language it is not always easy to communicate the problem effectively. By posting demo code we can see exactly what you are doing.
Or why you don't read the API... Of course that is a valid answer. You should always read the API. Why should we waste time typing the Documentation from the API when we can point you directly to the API????????
why you don't search the forum Again, why should be waste time answering questions that have already been answered???????
You learn by searching the forum and finding multiple solutions, then you use the solution that is appropriate. There is rarely a single solution for all cases. The more knowledge you have the better decision you can make.
Have a little pride and learn to do some problem solving on your own without us spoonfeeding every anser to you.
It is not possible to post a short self documenting program ...Then you truly don't understand what the problem is. And if you don't understand what the problem is how to you expect to communicate that problem verbally so that we understand the problem. You question is not about logic its about sizing of components. How hard is it to create a component and add it to a panel to demonstrate the problem. You don't even need real data. For example you can create a JTable with a single line of code, JTable table = new JTable(5, 10).
the core of the problem depends on the components added to the JSplitPane...Then demonstrate that with a SSCCE.

Checking the total size of a table with VARARRAY objects

Hi,
I have a table PEARSON_RESULTS which stores some 3-4 fields along with a VARARRAY object. I have prepared this table using a plain relational table (which contained no VARARRAY object) as input. The plain relational table has segment size of 6GB. But when I run query
sql> SELECT SUM(BYTES) FROM USER_SEGMENTS WHERE SEGMENT_NAME = 'PEARSON_RESULTS'
This query result is just 2MB . Therefore I guess that the VARARRAY objects might be stored in some other segments (other than the primary table) which I am not aware of.
Could someone please tell me how to calculate the size of a table having VARARRAY column correctly.
Thanks,
Anuj

If the VARRAY is stored as a LOB, you can query DBA_LOBS to get segment_name and segment_sizes for related LOBs.

Remembering the last size setting when reopening.

Not really a question because I have checked everywhere that I can for the answer so I am assuming that with the present edition when you resize the window(s) the setting isn't saved. I would like to be able to open Digital Editions and have it reation the last widow size it has when it was last closed.
Any chance of see that happen?

See this topic, and in particular my post here therein.
Good luck!

How do I Keep the "zoom" size setting the same each time I open Safari and from web page to web page?

I have a 27" iMac when I open Safari the web page is only 1/3 the size of the full screen Safari window. I know how to ZOOM in on the web page! My question is, How do I keep this ZOOM setting for all web pages and each time I open Safari up?

Sorry, but that's not possible.
An alternative might be to use Zoom in System Preferences > Accessibility
Or try a different screen resolutioin in System Preferences > Displays > Scaled

My Kids we on my 24 in iMac. Now the screen is "Zoomed in" and I can get it to go back to nomal for an application/desktop etc. The monitor is set at correct resolution. Help!

My Kids were on my 24 in iMac. Now the screen is "Zoomed in" and I can't get it to go back to normal. Tried resetting resolution, rebooting in safe mode.
Help!
Thanks.

Tap the top of the mouse with two fingers.
To turn off this feature, Un check the "smart Zoom" box
