Title bar vanishes in gnome when chaning sound preferences

Hi all,
A very strange problem occured to me today. In System -> Preferences -> Sound -> Sounds when I toggle "Play alerts and sound effects" the titlebar of all windows are gone! Also keyboard shortcuts don't work anymore at this point.
The xsession error log when disabling sounds (and when the titlebars dissapear):
gnome-session[3545]: WARNING: Not able to stop app from its condition: Not running
Window manager warning: CurrentTime used to choose focus window; focus window may not be correct.
Window manager warning: Got a request to focus the no_focus_window with a timestamp of 0. This shouldn't happen!
When reactivating the sound (and thereby the titlebars become visible again):
Window manager warning: Failed to read saved session file /home/wilco/.config/metacity/sessions/1034fa318afc7c55f2122922628798565700000035450018.ms: Failed to open file '/home/wilco/.config/metacity/sessions/1034fa318afc7c55f2122922628798565700000035450018.ms': No such file or directory
Any suggestions?

Metacity is crashing. Try searching/filling a report on Gnome's bugzilla.

No option to change Window Title Bar Font in gnome-tweak-tool

Hey there,
did a fresh install today on a Haswell-PC. But there's no option to change Window Title Bar Font in gnome-tweak-tool anymore? All the other options are there.
Is there a way to set the Window Title Bar Font elsewhere? Does someone know why this option was removed or is it due to my system somehow? I also don't see this option in the dconf-editor.
Gnome 3.8, all the latest updates, Intel Core i5 with Intel HD 4600 Graphics
Thanks,

How do I turn off vibrations when changing sound preferences?

I recently changed from syncing from my iphone to my computer to syncing it to icloud. Well it reset all my settings upon both syncs and now it vibrates every time I change a tone of some sort. I gone into my settings and have the vibrations turned off under sounds, yet it continues to vibrate whether I have the phone on silent or otherwise. It is very annoying. Please help Apple community! What can I do to get these vibrations to turn off completely? I never want the phone to vibrate.

Someone else reported this sound last September, but there wasn't any resolution to that thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/938003 After upgrading to Snow Leopard on my Mac, Firefox makes typewriter or paper crinkling sounds when going to links and sites].
Does it seem to be at all related to whether pages use Flash? Just wondering whether it is some kind of notification sound related to Flash's capabilities of using the webcam and microphone.

Mac projector fullscreen without the title bar?

Is that possible? I wrote a class to show my content full screen, but still get the title bar at the top when I open it on a mac.
Can that be done?
Thanks a lot!
Here is the AS I have in my class:
package com.viscira.utils.fullscreen
     import flash.display.MovieClip;
     import flash.display.StageDisplayState;
     import flash.display.Stage;
     import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
     public class FullScreen extends MovieClip
          public function FullScreen():void
          public function goFS():void
               stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
               stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;

JFrame frame=new JFrame();
frame.setUndecorated(true);
...but then you get no titlebar AND no border
so you'll have to add your own border if you want one.

How to get standard Windows (7) title bars in Visual Studio 2013 Express?

With the "title bar" background color changing when active vs inactive like all my other Windows.
Using Win 7 in "Windows Classic" theme.

Hi sponge_bob_128,
>>How to get standard Windows (7) title bars in Visual Studio 2013 Express?
Based on your issue, could you please tell me more detailed message about your issue.
For example:
(1)What did you would like to do in the Visual Studio 2013 Express?
(2) If you want to develop a program like the "title bar" background color changing when active vs inactive from the VS2013 Express.
Generally, I know that when we set the theme as "Windows Classic" theme on the Windows 7 and then start two VS windows, it will show an active VS window like the following screen shot.
To further help you solve this issue, please tell me more detailed message for me.

How to merge title bar and tab bar on Gnome desktop?

Not exactly a Firefox issue, but if it works fine on Windows it should work on Gnome too...
How can I merge title bar and tabs bar?
In Windows if we hide the menu bar Firefox puts in a single line Firefox button, tabs and minimize, maximize and close buttons. But in Gnome it keeps the separated title bar (with the minimize, maximize and close buttons).
Is there any way to really implement it on Gnome Desktop?

I want to back up what was said here. Chrome and Chromium have done this for as long as I can remember and the Linux distribution is entirely irrelevant in this case (as in most cases). There is an option to use the "system title bar and borders" in Chrome. If applied Chrome will have that blocky, chunky effect of not having the tabs overlapping into the title bar that firefox has. By default chrome does not use the system-provided title bar and borders. They wrote their own. The result is it looks nice. I prefer firefox by miles over Chrome, but have to admit it is chunky and ugly around the edges by comparison.
The problem is not that it is "not possible in Linux." As a dedicated Linux user, hearing that oft-repeated phrase gets really old. There is nothing about Linux that makes things not possible when it comes to coding features. What is going on is the shortcuts available to make the coding quick and easy may not already exist. Fewer people use Linux, fewer people develop for Linux, and there is often less existing code base already written for Linux to make a coding job quick and easy. Also, there is less incentive to write original code to make something work for Linux because we are relatively few; the countless minions using Windows are all complaining about other things and much more loudly so.
There is no doubt the task could be accomplished--which I would love to see--but the developers have to prioritize. I get that. Just wish they'd be honest rather than use the lazy answer of "It can't be done on your system."

I have no sound when I go to my setting and try to pick an text alert? Also my volume buttons I mash them and it shows the bell but no bars bellow it.but when I get a text it works on and off?

After I up dated my phone my volume wouldn't work when I went into my settings to choose an alert. When I got a text message it would work some times and sometimes it would cut off half way and sometimes it would just vibrate. Also my up and down buttons on the. Side of the phone wouldn't work right either the bell would come up but no bars bellow it worked?

the sound works with music player and everything but just not when it rings or a message comes in
Yes! I have the same issue on iPhone 5 !!! Also need help. I tried to reset and restore from backup, nothing helps.

@Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

How to see document file name with full path when hovering mouse over title bar?

Using PS CS6, Windows 7 x64.
I was under the impression that when hovering my mouse over the document title bar, I would see a tooltip showing the full file name, including the path. This isn't happening and I'm wondering if there is a way to do this. I know I can click File > Save As, or Ctrl+Shift-S to see the full path, but hoving over the title bar would be easier. (What I am seeing now in the tooltip is the file name, % magnification and which layer I have selected. Basically, the tooltip is just showing what's in the title bar without hovering.)
Thank you!
John

Hm, I wonder if it's something they may have enabled only for the Cloud version (I have 13.1.2). If so, I didn't notice the change at the time of the upgrade.
Nope, it's not that - I have a virtual machine for testing with 13.0.1 installed... This is what I see there:

Losing Title Bar when changing Look and Feel on the fly

Hello,
I have an option in my Swing app for the user to change the Look & Feel on the fly by selecting from a radio button list. The look and feel is changed when the user make the selection, however the Windows Title Bar disappears. Any ideas what I'm missing?
private void setLook(String mode)
String lookAndFeelClassName = null;
UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo looks[] = UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels();
for (int i = 0; i < looks.length; i++)
if (mode.equalsIgnoreCase(looks.getName()))
lookAndFeelClassName = looks[i].getClassName();
break;
try
m_view.dispose();
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(lookAndFeelClassName);
SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(m_view);
m_view.setVisible(true);
catch (Exception e)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(m_view, "Can't change look and feel:" + lookAndFeelClassName, "Invalid PLAF", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

You are disposing the view. My guess is that this is your problem. Try creating a new one instead of just showing the old disposed one

Why Do LV7 VIs Stop Executing When I Click on the Window Title Bar?

I am trying to run a deterministic VI (LV 7.0) which reads data from a DSP and displays it in a graph. The VI has to read the data within a certain time or the DSP overwrites the buffer. I find that the graph stops reading (for about .25 sec) when I click on its title bar (or that of any other VI), and I lose data. The graph is running in the Data Acquisition thread, under Time Critical Priority (the only VI in this thread and with this priority). I have tried a dual 2400 CPU (AMD) under WinXP Pro, and also a PIII-1000 single CPU under Win2000. Same result. I have also tried a bus mouse (USB and PS2) and a serial mouse (COM1) - same result. Under LabVIEWs Tools/Options, I have "Run With Multiple Threads"
checked. How can I ensure that the mouse (or keyboard, for that matter) does not stop my graph VI?

Try making the Call Library Function Node reentrant as well.
Attached is an example. Not a beautiful, but illustrated an experiment I did. With this experiment I have a delay in a loop putting the time the loop took on a queue. The other VI is graphing that time. When I click on the title bar of the graphing VI, it stops responding for a period of time, but the other loop keeps running uniterupted. I have no idea what a dll call would do.
Good luck...

Title bar gets squashed when a link opens in new window.

It doesn't happen when i click "open in new window" but only when I click a link that opens in new window automatically. The title bar gets narrower so the tab goes outside the screen. After minimizing and maximizing again it becomes OK. It's the same in "safe mode". I also tried creating a new profile but the problem still exists.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Firefox hangs when starting, Firefox window title bar says "Firefox (not responding)". (was: Firefox crashes)

Firefox hangs when starting, during session restore. Uninstalled then installed new Firefix. Same problem. Firefox window title bar says "Firefox (not responding)". It just hangs, won;t display even one page. What to do? Tried -safe-mode, smae result.

I keep too many tabs open and whilst trying to download a pdf file Firefox 8.01 hung and when I restarted it the Embarrassing page opened. I knew which tab I needed to delete but as soon as I tried to navigate to the errant tab it said "Not Responding" and nothing I could do would make it respond. I tried command line opening in safe mode and the same thing happened.
I have read the other posts but cannot send a crash dump as it is "Not Responding" and does not get far enough to crash.
