Unable to resize window to fit screen

I am having an issue in which some of the windows from a variety of applications no longer fits on my screen, and I am unable to resize the window because the handle for the window (that I would normally click on and drag to resize) is located in an area of the screen that is not currently visible...
Specifically, when using firefox, if I try to add a new bookmark, the add bookmark window appears and the bottom of the window is off the bottom of the screen (even with the top of that window appearing all the way at the top of the screen. Another instance occurs when using a Photoshop plugin called noiseware, in which the top and bottom of the plugin window appear off the screen, thereby making it impossible to access certain features and functions of the plugin...
I have tried trashing the preferences for each application and for the plugin in hopes that that would help, but it does not...I have also attempted the change the resolution of my monitor, but its alread as large as possible...
Does anyone have any suggestions as to ways in which I can go about resolving this issue? Any help would be sincerly appreciated. Thanks!

Resize window to fit not working

I can't get the resize window to fit option working. It has worked in the past; I have no idea what changed.
I am using Adobe CS4 (11.0.2) on Windows 7 (6.1) 32 bit operating system.
I made sure the resize window to fit option is turned on and deleted the preferences file. How can I fix this?

Where is that option. I know of menu View>Fit On Screen shortcut Ctrl|Cmd+0 and that you can set a script event manager open event to run a Script or action to do a View>Fit on Screen but the only Preferences option I know of for image window size is "Zoom resizes window"???

Evilwm unable to resize windows

Hi all. I just recently switched to evilwm. To my knowledge <ALT> + Right Click should allow me to resize windows... but i am unable to do so. I have also tried to right click on the border, nothing. so yeah, does anyone have any suggestions? is there a file where i can modify these key bindings? thx!

In cwm (which is similar to evilwm) it’s alt + middle click. I see the wiki says alt + Button2, which may mean the same thing.
As for editing keybindings, cwm has a config file, but near as I can tell evilwm does not and is not reconfigurable.

Resizing window out of screen

hello,
I can't see my window top bar ..... is out of screen ....
so I can't resize it...
What Can I do?

Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.

How to resize photo to fit screen without loosing proportions?

I am in the process of creating a PowerPoint presentation and it will basically consist of photos, some text and a music background. I want the photos to fill my computer screen, so when I am in Elements 5, I am going to Image menu and then to resize - Image Size, and changing the pixel dimensions here. My monitor is set at 1280 x 1024 pixels and I am trying to resize my photos to 1280 x 1024 so that they will perfectly fill the entire monitor when the PowerPoint presentation is played. The problem is that when I go to resize the photos, I have to leave the Constrain Proportions options unchecked so that I can manually and freely enter the values I want for both the Width and the Height to match my monitor dimensions. When my photo is resized using this method, the proportions get thrown off and the picture looks a little funny. But if I check mark the Constrain Proportions option, then I will only be able to enter a value for one of the dimensions since Elements will automatically figure the other dimension for me. This way the proportions look fine, but the photo may not completely fill the screen the way I would like.
Is there some kind of work-around for this seeming catch-22 type of problem??
Thanks,
Lee

That's great about being able to use px (pixels) as the unit of measurement regarding the cropping tool. I will be playing around with this. Thanks for this great bit of information.
Real quick on my question regarding the original proportion of the photo. I am sorry about the confusion here. In my initial question I had mentioned how I had tried to resize my photo(s) by using the Image - Resize - Image Size command from the main menu and was not able to check the Constrain Proportions option because I needed to enter both values for the Width and Height to match my screen size in pixels. But when I did that, I lost the original proportion of the photo and it looked funny and such. People's faces were thinner and longer than they should have been etc... So when you started talking about using the crop tool to get my photo to the same pixel dimensions as my screen, I am just asking if the photo can maintain its original proportions, or might I be running into the same problem I had before when I was using the Image - Resize command. I am not talking about loosing my original photo, I am making all these changes to a copy of the original photo so my original is protected and safe. Maybe I should be calling it the aspect ratio. I am wondering if after I make these changes with the crop tool, can I also still maintain the original aspect ratio of the photo? Because this was my original problem, I was contorting the photo due to the aspect ratio changing. I hope I am using the right terms here being more clear?

Preview app auto-resize window

Shift-command-R resizes the image to fit window. How do you resize window to fit an image at it's original size? What a glaring oversight by Apple.

I don't need the image to be full screen, just the window. And the window is not technically full screen, because you can still see the window borders and the panels. I want the image window with the different image tabs to open as big as my screen. I want the edges to come right up next to my panels and the bottom to go down to the bottom of my screen. For example: I use Mac and when you close a finder window and open a new one, it will open at the same size that you closed it. If you resize it, lets say, to fill your entire screen, close it and then reopen it, it will open the same size as you closed it. I don't want photoshop to open new image windows to the same dimension as the image. I want a grey screen to cover my entire monitor just like in CS3 and before. I really like the tabs, but I want the window to open bigger with grey space arround the image.

I have the same problem. After Mountain Lion was installed, my longstanding display configuration (MacBook Air coupled with large Dell monitor) will no longer allow app windows to be moved from the Air screen to the large display when the large display is configured on top of the Air. Only the side-by-side configuration works. Mouse can move above the Air menu bar, but not any app windows. Mirroring works as usual; this is the only problem. I've tried re-setting the display preferences, and I've also tried pairing with another (non-Apple) monitor. Same problem. Is this a known bug? Is there a fix on the way?

Unable to resize Screen Sharing screen

Hi,
I am seeing two issues with Screen Sharing when accessing a desktop Mac from a MacBook Pro with a 20in external monitor attached to the laptop.
Using the Screen Sharing application to remotely control the Mac Pro when I connect the size of the Screen Sharing window varies, most of the time it is small (about half screen width and two thirds screen height) but sometimes it is almost full size on the monitor. The Fit Screen in Window button setting does not seem to affect this.
Furthermore when I try and drag the bottom right hand corner to increase the size of the Screen Sharing window it will not allow the window size to be increased.
In 10.5 Leopard the Screen Sharing app could be configured using defaults but Apple in their, err, wisdom, have disabled them it seems in 10.6 Snow Leopard. So...
(1) Is there any way to make/configure the app to always display a maximized screen size when connecting to a remote Mac?
(2) Why can I not resize the window by dragging the right corner using the standard Mac window resizing mechanism?
Thanks.
Tim

Try playing around with the window positioning. There is no definite way to keep a window's size/position, but try playing around with it.
I have dragged the window around but it makes no difference.
(2) Why can I not resize the window by dragging the right corner using the standard Mac window resizing mechanism?
You may not be able to make it bigger, but can you make it smaller?
Yes I can make it smaller but when I drag to make larger again it stops at the original size and you cannot drag further.
I noted that the screen resolution setting in the monitors preference pane of the Mac Pro had been set at 800 x 600 but it was set to 1680 x 1050 (the res of the 20in monitor) so perhaps Screen Sharing does not support that res and it gets reset when you create the connection?

Unable to resize the Edit window in Premier Elements 11

I am unable to resize the premier elements edit window - it just leaves a trail of images of the edit window on the screen when I try to make the window smaller - It doesn't refresh the desktop behind, no problem using and resizing window in Photoshop Elements 11 installed at the same time and also the organise window is resizeable OK just the edit window a problem - any ideas - I am using Windows 7 64 bit?

Full -Computer spec is - Windows 7 64-bit, 8Mb RAM, Processor Intel Core i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10 GHz and graphics card AMD/ATI Radeon HD6570 2Gb RAM - Updated windows and Graphics card driver. When rebooted my windows had gone into an Aero theme and worked OK - but putting back to windows classic - problem returned i.e. Organise editor OK but Video Editor with just New Project and no media added resizing window just leaves a trail around the screen. Put back to Aero theme and now OK again. Tried going into System properties / advanced / visual effects / Show windows contents whilst dragging - and turned off but still did not work with Windows classic theme.
So don't know why it is happening but it is at least a work around - thanks for your help.

So I'm trying to get a window to fit my mac. Its a window on pokerstars if that helps, so no minimize/maximize. The window is actually too long vertical ways to fit the screen so the bottom is cut off? I hid bottom toolbar but still no help :-/ any help?

Unable to resize photoshop Window

Hi all,
I have a laptop and use a large external monitor at my work office. When I am not at work, and not using the monitor, I use the screen on the laptop.
The problem is that Photoshop does not resize its windows to fit the laptop screen. Therefore, windows with layers extend below the screen (see attached). Since one cannot adjust the height of a window from its top (only its bottom), I can find no way to return it to being able to fit, and cannot access the icon buttons at the bottom of the window.
Of course, I could trash preferences, or set up a new workspace, but that's quite a hassle of a work around when it seems a window should either automatically shrinkto the screen height, or at least give an option to be resized from its top.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Photoshop CC 2014; Mac OSX 10.8.5

PS. I should have mentioned I've tried:
turning on/off application frame
resizing photoshop application window (green button)
restarting photoshop
double-clicking panel name (but that only collapses it completely)
making screen resolution higher to fit more stuff on screen (already maxed out)
searching the internet for an answer, in this forum, and elsewhere

Safari option to resize image to fit window?

This item has come up here before, but seems to always fizzle out. Did anyone ever find a plugin for Safari that would resize images so that they fit in the browser window?
The problem is when you try to view pictures that are larger than the screen size, I would like to be able to have my Safari browser automatically resize them to fit the screen. MS Internet Explorer has this feature and I have gotten used to it!

Results in a page with a table but without borders (at his stage I have not yet uploaded the Demo.jpg). After uploading the Demo.jpg results in a table with the entire image placed in het first cell. After placing the class code in the CSS inline property I expected to see the result as is shown in the Table whith background image demo. For some reason this does not work (the image is no longer visible).
Can anybody tell me how to achieve my goal?
This is a workaround. What's your real goal? Why do you want to do this?
What browser(s)/version(s) are you using? All current browser versions have support for CSS3 background sizing which is the proper way to do this.

I am trying to resize disk space on parallels 6 for windows XP under configure Hardrive and I get the error resizing failed unable to resize last volume the file system of this volume might be damaged or not supported? I am on a Mac using Parallels 6

I have been trying to increase my disk space for windows xp on my Imac and I am running parallels 6. before opening windows I go into configure in parallels and open the hard drive and try to move the allotted disk space from 32 gig to 64 or any other increased gig and then apply and I get the error message: resizing failed unable to resize last volume. The file system of this volume might be damaged or not supported. How do I increase the size?? I just also did a disk repair utility with Apple on the Apple side of my IMAC. Please Help!! I had uninstalled SQL server on the windows side and needed to uncompress files to install this and then I ran short on disk space.

This sounds to me that your Parallels XP file system is corrupted and not the OSX file system.
Have you checked the XP file system while running the Parallels XP yet ?
However, it would be better to ask such question in the Parallels Forum http://forum.parallels.com/

Unable to install Windows 7! Black screen?

Unable to install Windows 7! Black screen?
Hey everyone!
Some background info:
I built my computer ~2 years ago and it worked fine for about half a year, until it crashed. Since then I've been unable to reinstall Windows and I kinda forgot about it... which sucks! So please help me get it up and running again :)
Motherboard: GigaByte Z68
Processor: Intel Core i3
HDD: Seagate Barucada 1TB (st31000524as)
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
My problem:
When I boot from the windows cd (original), sometimes I get stuck at a black screen after "Windows is starting" or the black "loading files" screen. Sometimes it just takes a while but I eventually get to the install menu.
When I am about to chose my hdd, it says it can't install on it. I deleted all partitions, created a new one and formated it (took about 1 hour), still not able to install.
I tried booting from my GigaByte cd, and it went through some kind of install (not sure what it did, it was weird because it's actually made for backups). After I chose "reboot" I was able to install on my hdd again. But after I got to 100% i got
stuck at the black screen again! I waited for a couple hours before I had to turn it off, so I'm back where I started. :/
I always google stuff, and people said the black screen problems could be related to other drives/usb stuff connected to my pc. I only have 1 hdd and 1 usb for mouse/keyboard... I tried disconnecting it but it didnt work and also it doesnt make sense since
I need to reconnect it to click on stuff anyway...
People also said I should try booting with F8 and choose "low res", didn't work either. Other people said "connect a secondary screen", I have a hdmi screen and a rgb screen, I tried all combinations of them and nothing seemed to work...
I also have some confusion with the XHD/RAID/IDE/AHCI settings. I am only using one HDD, so I figured AHCI makes more sense for me - sine i have a SATA hdd and windows 7 64 bit.
However, when I load "Optimized System Defaults" from BIOS, it sets SATA mode to IDE...? When I reboot I get a warning screen that says the system is running in IDE mode and I should switch to AHCI for optimal performance.
How do I know if my system supports AHCI or not, what should I use?
Whenever I select IDE, and I enter Windows installation, it can't even find my hdd!
Only when I select AHCI it finds the hdd, but it won't let me install on it.
I've been strugling for DAYS, so i REALLY appreciate help. :) Also, I've tried making "boot cds/usb", and I have no experience with linux so it's really frustrating. Please don't suggest going linux unless it's really necessary. :( I only have a Knoppix
live CD, but I find the whole linux system so confusing I wasn't really able to do anything, despite several "guides" and youtube videos. I have a computer that's barely been used and a original windows CD, shouldn't I have all I need to repair my
system?
Sorry about the long post, I'll be eternally grateful if someone has any clues!

I am not sure which specific issue that is, but it definitely sounds like a hardware issue rather than a software or settings issue. Windows should not have any issues installing; if it does, that would usually point to a hardware issue of some sort.
It could even be your motherboard. Your best bet is to disconnect EVERYTHING that is not needed from the motherboard, including RAM sticks except for the least amount possible, and try installing Windows with that configuration.
Example: you need the power supply, so connect that. If you're installing from a CD/DVD, then you need a CD/DVD drive. You need at least 2 GB of RAM. You need to be able to turn on the computer, so the on/off switch needs to be connected
to the motherboard. You will need a mouse and keyboard. And so on. If this bare-minimum configuration does not work, start replacing items: use a different RAM stick, use a different mouse, use a different keyboard, etc. If, after you
do all this, it still does not work, then I would suspect that your motherboard has an issue. You can also try resetting the CMOS on your motherboard. Some motherboards have a jumper for that, and for others, simply removing the CMOS battery will
do it.
As far as IDE, AHCI, and RAID settings are concerned, this should not matter so long as whichever setting it is on when Windows is installed is the same after it is installed. For example, if it is installed using IDE, then you need to stick with IDE.
If you installed it with AHCI, then you need to stick with AHCI. Changing it after installation can make Windows not boot. There are, of course, ways around that, but it is easiest to simply be consistent.
