The title bar of all my windows is unreadable, with a weird vertical stripes!

I just upgraded my 10.7 machine to 10.7.5 (from 10.7.3 or 10.7.4, I don't remember; I used the standard auto-update). Now the title bar of all my windows is unreadable, with a weird vertical striped pattern, and the buttons in my finder window are all screwed up. Very very frustrating, I've lost 2 hours today already screwing with this. Help!!!!! [email protected]

How do I get the full current path in the title bar of a terminal window?

Is it possible to get the full current path in the title bar of a
terminal window? I would find that more meaningful than
"Terminal - tcsh - 80x60" (which I currently get). Doing
this would free me from wanting to display the path in my
system prompt thereby allowing me to use a shorter prompt
and having more space on the line for actual input.
Thanks

IIRC, Terminal->Window Settings->Window controls that information. That said, I don't understand what full current path means in this context, nor why you'd want to display it in title bar.
Your terminal prompt is a concatenation of your computer name (SysPrefs->Sharing—easily changed) and the path to your user's home directory using the short username (hard to change).
computer name:~ username$

Hide the title bar of a movie window like QuickTime X

Love the feature of QuickTime X of not showing the title bar/the control bar of a movie window (still waiting for Pro version, though. Is it coming out at all?)
I'm wondering if anyone has figured out a way/tweak to hide the title bar of a iTunes movie window like QuickTime X.
Thanks.

What child window are you referring to? Do you mean a browser window opened with web.show_document?
If so, you can use javascript to hide browser toolbars and so on. Search the forum for some javascript examples where windows are opened with toolbar=no.

Changing the logo in the Title Bar of a JFrame

How do I change the logo in the left hand corner of the Title Bar of a JFrame window.

Hi Sverigeterje
Thanks.
That's very neat. All done with one line of code, as opposed to the two lines of code I found in an answer (dated Jan 8, 2001) from Alexander Smirnov in response to a similar question (dated Sep 16, 2000) from Shawn Barker. (http://forums.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=31&thread=49970 - Jan 8, 2001)
ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon("CustomIcon.gif");
this.setIconImage(image.getImage());
Once again many thanks.

User-defined F4 Search - cancel button in the title bar

Hi,
I implement user-defined F4 search for my WD application. F4 view comes from another component (as described in the tutorial). Everything is fine, I see that view popuped when F4 is clicked for an input field. My problem is, how to make visible the Close button in the title bar of that popup window.
I was able to set window's title text, but have no idea how to control those buttons. I only see maximize button which comes by default.
Also would be nice to create kind of standard OK and Cancel buttons on the bottom bar instead of creating them manually on my view... I've tried set_button_kind(), it works somehow: displayes three empty buttons without icons - need more info about it too...
Thanks

Hi Serguei,
The empty buttons are worth a ticket.
The behavior for the close button in popups is that the application developer can determine its visibility independent from the buttons in the lower row.
The second aspect is the action that is triggered if someone clicks that button. There the application developer is able to bind a separate action to that close button. If no action was bound and if a cancel button is visible, clicking the close button will trigger the same action as it would have been the case for the cancel button. A bit complicated, I know. We had to do the latter for backwards compatibility.
Best regards,
Thomas

How can I change the width and color of the title bar of the JFrame

I would like to use the UImanager to change the look and feel of the title bar on all of my JFrames. How is this possible.
Thanks in advance.

I appologize for being rude, and thank you for your response.
The reason I did not respond was that I don't think that your answer solves the question of top level containers (specifically JFrame). I have been researching the net and some of the text books to come up with an answer before I respond. To this point, I believe that the answer has something to do with changing the boundary. If this is the case I'm within four or five hours of the solution, and will publish. If not, back to the drawing board.

Is there a way to modify the name displayed in the Title Bar at the top of the Audition Window?

It's not uncommon for me to have a copy of Audition versions 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0 all open at the same time if I'm doing some editing for a complex project.
It would be handy for me to quickly see which window I have open without having to recognise the icons of the different versions. At the moment, each Title Bar just displays the Audition icon and the words "Adobe Audition". I'd like to add the version number to the name, if it's possible. I'm happy to edit the Windows Registry, if that is what is needed.
Does anybody know where the Title Bar information is stored?

I have an answer you might like Howard.
You could simply export one title to a PRTL file, then duplicate it using an Excel VB macro to change the name of the file based on a list in an excel file. You could type in a couple of dates, then just drag down to the 365th row and all of the dates would be there waiting for the macro to rename the file. Then, if you are really talented, you could find the appropriate text in the XML file and change it to match the name of the title, but without the PRTL extension.
That way the font and position and style would all be right and the effort would be in a file you could share with the world.
Hmmm. I might have to try that myself one of these days. Could come in handy. If you are more comfortable with Word than Excel, create the dates in Excel and paste them into a table in Word. Just be careful not to mess up the
Edit: Oh, and of course, you import the titles back into Premiere Pro.

Hiding URL in the title bar of external window

Experts -
Scenario:
On click of 'LinkToAction' element, we are opening up a pdf document (stored on portal content server)
in an external window, using:
CALL METHOD LO_WINDOW_MANAGER->CREATE_EXTERNAL_WINDOW
    EXPORTING
      URL            = LV_HOSTNAME
      TITLE          = 'My Title'                             "Does not work
      MODAL          = ABAP_FALSE
      HAS_MENUBAR    = ABAP_FALSE
      IS_RESIZABLE   = ABAP_TRUE
      HAS_SCROLLBARS = ABAP_TRUE
      HAS_STATUSBAR = ABAP_FALSE
      HAS_TOOLBAR    = ABAP_FALSE
      HAS_LOCATION   = ABAP_FALSE
    RECEIVING
      WINDOW         = LO_WINDOW.
We have a requirement to hide the location bar and the title of the window (in which the PDF is displayed). We are able to hide the location bar but the URL still appears in the title bar.
We have tried the following code to set the title, but it is not working.
CALL METHOD LO_WINDOW->SET_WINDOW_TITLE
EXPORTING
    TITLE = 'My Title.                    "Does not work
LO_WINDOW->OPEN( ).
Any help on how to achieve this will be appreciated.

This is not a web dynpro restriction - but one that has been brough about by the browser designers.
Because of the number of people falling to phishing attacks the designers of browser have all decided to always show the URL of any popup HTML windows. This stops malicious pop-ups from pretending to be something they are not and stealing user's data.
If the world were a nicer place you could have your pop-up without the URL - but it isn't and it's probably better that your users have a least a little help in identifying if they are being scammed.

Chris

Why do the title bar on Firefox and taskbar on Windows 7 leave distorted image when a list of bookmark folders crosses either one ?

I use lots of folders in my bookmarks list. I have noticed that with both AMD and Nvidia based video cards, that if I am using a folder in my bookmarks list that has lots and lots of bookmarks, the list of bookmarks will cross both the title bar area of Firefox and the taskbar on Windows 7 at the bottom. When this happens, both the title bar on Firefox versions 8-10 and the taskbar at the bottom will leave images from the bookmark list that don't go away (unless I use F11 view fullscreen to clear away the image and restore to normal ). If I am using a Matrox video card, this doesn't happen. Why is this?

Hey cor-el,
Wow. That did it. You are a genius! Thank you, thank you. It's very important that I be able to use the folders with saved bookmarks feature for my business which I rely on daily.
I unchecked the "use hardware acceleration feature" where you said it was in Firefox 9 browser and it resolved the problem immediately. I am using an Nvidia GS8400 video card. I was having the same problem on the new ATI/AMD video cards too (haven't tested though on ATI computer yet). My Matrox M9120 doesn't do that at all though. Do you have any idea why that is ? Is it a software conflict between Nvidia or AMD drivers and Firefox?
One more question on your response solution, why do you recommend upgrading to current video card drivers since un-checking the "hardware acceleration" feature in Firefox works? The video card drivers on the disc that came with the card I am using were supplied by the manufacturer and released last year. Shouldn't that be good enough?

How to replace the icon in the title bar and minimized window

I am not sure if this is a Swing question. But since nobody answered it in the Java Programming forum, let me place it here:
I would like to set my own icon in the title bar and in the minimized window of my java application, replacing the java coffee cup icon.
I am using:
frame.setIconImage(new ImageIcon("image.gif").getImage())
as was suggested previously in the Java Programming forum at:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=31&threadID=5212059
This does create the icon in both places. However, it only works when I run the program from JBuilder 2006. It doesn't work if I run the program from the .jar or the .exe file.
How can I make it work for my .jar and .exe file?
Please help! Thanks!

It doesn't work if I run the program from the .jar...working example for a .jar

Can't drag windows around using the title bar-CS4

I just upgraded to CS4 at work last week and I'm already regretting it. Firstly, using two monitors, CS4 must like my graphics card becasue as soon as I open a document and it begins to render the window, the main monitor loses it's signal and cuts off. So I have to hard shut down and make my 2nd monitor the main one, open CS4 and a file on that monitor, then make it the 2nd monitor and pass it over to my real first monitor with a file open and make that monitor the main one again. Added to that, randomly, files will open as tabs even though I have the option unchecked in prefs. I hate tabs, I want my windows floating. But I digress.
My current issue is the file windows are not movable using the title bar. I can expand/contract every side grabbing the edge, but clicking, holding and dragging any of the title bar is ineffective. I can drag to tab to undock it, but once floating, the title bar is non-funtional for grabbing. I can also double click on it to tab, just not to drag.
I use a mac at home and thankfully Adobe hasn't forced the edge to edge palette background on that platform. On the mac we get a 'classic view' or something that does away with the desktop blocking grey window background. Seriously, I can't stand the full screen look. Why can't windows have that option to have just the menu bar, palettes and file windows allowing the desktop to be visible? /rant

A new video card is often a good idea if yours is over 2 years old. Even the modern "budget" (e.g., ~$100) cards are hugely powerful nowadays.
This page, I believe, could be a good starting point for everything you want to know:

Complied chm file displays 'HTML help' on the title bar instead of the window name

Complied chm file displays 'HTML help' on the title bar instead of the window name.
I tried several ways like:
1. Changed File>Project settings name and also set the language to English (US).
2. Checked the Title name in .hhp file
3. Used the window while compling.
4. Robohelp language settings.
5. Also uninstalled and reinstalled robophelp.
But nothing helped
The title name is displayed correctly if the same project is compiled on another machine.

When the code in the HHP and the regional settings on a PC match, the correct title is displayed. Or other way around is also true the help title is displayed in the language specified in the help project IF (and only if) the regional settings of the PC match that language. Otherwise, "HTML Help" is displayed.
Hope this help.
Thanks and Regards,

How to get rid of title bar of a quicktime window?

The main problem:
I want to display the title info etc about each track as they play in iTunes. How can I do that on an otherwise black screen (desktop) (I don't want to use the visualizer with its psychedelic patterns).
Background:
I want to play music from iTunes (many pieces in a row - for like a full day). While this is happening I want the title etc of the tune to be displayed on the screen, like white smallish text against a black background in the lower right hand corner. At the same time I want slides to be displayed on the screen.
So, with iPhoto I can run a slide show but only while one piece of music is playing.
Instead I can have the desktop slowly change (from system preferences) with images from a folder every 5 seconds. That's not too bad. Looks good, actually, except for that annoying menu bar at the top! Well, black tape can hide that one (or a second display and move it over there). Now iTunes can play away all day.
As to how to get the title etc of the song playing displayed I was thinking about somehow extracting it from iTunes with applescript, then paste it into the text track of a quicktime movie, and display that little movie in a small window. I have figured out how to get rid of the controller from the window. But, I can not figure out how to get the title bar of the quicktime window to go away - that is I want a window with nothing around it, neither controllers nor title bar nor anything. How do I create such a window. Any good ideas out there?
Or is there a totally different way of obtaining the same effect?
Thanks.
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi,
You could try posting at the QuickTime discussion area. There might be an iTunes visualizer that allows you to make a slideshow with track info. It has been a while since I tried making a SMIL file, but I think you could do what you want with that. Not sure how you create a streaming text of track information. I would have to do some reviewing.
gl,

After installing FF4 on 2 computers (both Win7Ultimate), one places tabs in the title bar, the other below it; how can I get both to place tabs in the title bar?

I have the same options selected on each computer, both have "Tabs on top" selected.
The one I am using now has a double-height title bar, with the Firefox botton on the top left, and tabs below it also on the left.
The right side of the title bar is blank (semitransparent) space.

Found the problem - on one computer, I run Firefox maximised, and Tabs go into the title bar.
On the other, Firefox runs in an unmaximised window, and tabs sit below the title bar.
This seems very silly.
Hey, developers, how about keeping the tabs in the title bar all the time? This is a good feature spoilt by this quirk.
How about changing it for the next update?

How to customize the title bar on my own Look And Feel?

Hi all!
I am creating my own Look and Feel which extends from NimbusLookAndFeel. What I'm doing is overwriting UIDefaults values??, referring to the Painters. For example:
+uiDefault.put ("Button [Enabled]", new ButtonEnabledPainter());+
But now I need is to customize the title bar of the JFrame's, but I do not see this option in Painter's values ??can be overwritten by Nimbus (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/lookandfeel/_nimbusDefaults . html).
You know as possible? I have to overwrite an existing UI component? The idea is I want to make the look and feel like SeaGlass, but the code seems a bit complex to know where to begin.
I hope you can guide me on this issue.
