User control over font size?

I wonder if there is a way the user can control the font size
in the .chm file from the viewer. I know you can go to your
internet browser and change the font size there, but this is a bit
convoluted. Is there a control available in the chm viewer that I
am missing?

Hi Margaret
Indeed you may add a Font button to the .CHM viewer.
Unfortunately, RoboHelp doesn't expose a method to do it easily.
You would have to do it by compiling using Microsoft HTML Help
Workshop.
Here is a link to a page explaining it.
Click
here and read all about it
I'm not sure if CSS font sizes will override this or not.
Additionally, you may wish to try pressing and holding the Alt key
while rolling the mouse wheel (if you have one) as this sometimes
changes the font.
Cheers... Rick

  • Want total control over the size of a button

    What do I do if I want to control the size of a button completely and not let something else do it for me automatically? What layoutmanagers allow me to completely control the size and which do not?

    For total control over the button size, call container.setLayoutManager(null). This, however, disables all automatic layout; not only will you have control over the size of your button, you'll have control over its position and the size and position of all other components in that container. You'll also have the responsibility to set them.
    While this is desirable in some circumstances, you normally want to use a LayoutManager. These managers allow your code to be modified with greater ease and handle a lot of the work for you.
    You can always call jbutton.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(x,y));[b] to attempt to communicate to the LayoutManager the size that you would like the button to be. [b]jbutton.setMinimumSize and jbutton.setMaximumSize are also useful. (These calls assume the existence of a field jbutton which contains an instance of the class JButton.)
    These, however, only work if the LayoutManager honors your requests; it is quite possible for a LayoutManager to ignore your sizing requests on the objects it is laying out. Most of the managers that Sun provides respect the requests their users make, but many third-party LayoutManagers aren't capable of doing so for one reason or another.
    Yet another solution is to write your own LayoutManager. The interface is relatively simple. I personally have been working on a project in which a workspace allows users to move components around. Because of this, the component has to stay where the user put it, although its size should be adjusted according to its needs. I had to write my own LayoutManager for this because none of those that Sun provided properly suited my needs.
    Which way would you like to tackle this?

  • Control "Unconnected" Font Size Visibility

    How can I control the font size and visibility of the "Unconnected" and "Name:"  annotation that appears for an unconnected pin.  I have one that is huge in the middle of my board from a custom part I created.  I want this pin unconnected but don't need it splashed across the board design.  I've searched through the Part, Global, and PCB Properties and cannot find how to control this. 
    Any ideas on how this is controlled and how to hide it or make it rationally small?

    The pin name should be the same as the drill size I am thinking you may have pins on top of each other.  Can you post a file with only this component on the forum?

  • Acrobat 9: Control over font in text box

    Versions: OS X 10.8.5 with Acrobat Pro 9, latest patch.
    I am experimentally preparing a four day training course by adding my instructor information to a PDF of the slide show.  There are only 850 slides, so it makes sense to experiment with this small document.
    All is going well.  I have created some custom stamps.  Acrobat has only crashed twice, losing not more than two hours work as a result.  I am optimistic I will be good to go in 10 more days.
    I have just copied some test into a text box and it copied as black and blue text with a larger font than the standard red font that I have been seeing until now.
    It occurs to me that this implies there may be some control over the text.  I realize that Acrobat is not meant to be a document preparation tool, so I hunted around somewhat for a way to change the text box text to not-red, gave up and I have been putting up with it until now.
    However, there are implications (but no clearly stated solutions) that there is a way to change the font, size and colour of text in text boxes.
    Do you know how?  I cannot work it out, nor can I find a solutoin.  I can see that the Commenting preference pane offers Small Medium and Large text.  There does not seem to be any other control other than the style (italic, bold, superscript, subscript) that is offered in the context menu.
    Hints?  Thoughts? 

    Pryanja.
    Thanks again.  If offers a dropdown for Colour, a box for style (plain, bold italic etc) and a button marked more, but they seem to do nothing at all.  They don't change what I type, and they don't affect selected text.  Looks to me tha they just take up some toolbar space.
    Is it possible that it does not work on Mac?

  • I cant' control the font - size displayed during edition is different from the ones (1 or more - never know) sent.

    1) When I edit my e-mail, the font is always the same - arial 10 pts. But once the e-mail is sent, what I can see in my 'sent' box and what the receiver gets is all messed up, especially when I have pasted some text. There are parts with huge font and there are with such a small one that it's difficult to read it. Or the whole text is extremely large or tiny.
    I need to write in HTML for I often must highlight some parts. I searched many forums but nowhere found any answer.
    2) When i get an e-mail the problem is similar: it can be written with the letters you can distinguish from the other side of the room or on a contrary - you would use binoculars to read it comfortably. The least font is set to 10 pts.

    From John Waller: “If you're using IE8, hit F12 to launch Developer Tools which give you a point and click method of locating the relevant CSS rule on screen.”
    I have Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) so tried this method.
    This sounded like another promising possibility; however, I have not been able to change the font size in my post using this method.
    I have gone to Dashboard > Posts > Edit > then moused-over my post > clicked on "edit" and then hit F12. An enormous amount (20 pages or more) of CSS appears. I tried picking out the font size that I thought pertains to the post (under Text Area), and I have changed the font size from 13px to 24px; however, I have not been able to “save” the new setting. When I go back to it, it is back to 13px.
    As a result, I have not been able to use a trial-and-error method to establish which font size I must change in order to change the font size of my post.

  • User control over Flash content?

    Speaking strictly as a user, I want better control over Flash content.  I am tired of Flash-based movies automatically playing just because I visit a web site - especially with audio enabled.  I want to be able to configure my browser so that Flash content cannot automatically start.  I don't want to disable Flash entirely, I just want to be in control (regardless of the web site developer's intentions).   Is this possible?   If I desire to view the animation, I will intiate playback myself.

  • Ps CS6 Request: User control over display quality versus performance (modified request)

    It would be great if there was user control of the zoom threshold at which display quality is sacrificed for performance.
    I mean the threshold which determines the maintaining of bit-depth in the calculation of the composite which is displayed when working with 16-bit documents, and the accuracy of displayed layer effects in documents with any bit-depth.
    The threshold currently seems to be approx 64% zoom - not much of a zoom out when dealing with large images destined for print.
    Please provide a control for that threshold in Preferences > Performance.

    Thank you for posting, conroy. I have an example of the inconvenient effects of Photoshop CS6 allowing the zoomed-out composite to be innaccurate.
    Here's a real-world application for everyone to see.
    In my below example you're not seeing a 16-bit doc, just 8-bit, BTW.
    Top C has Layer Styles. Bottom C is a copy that's been merged with a blank layer, to effectively "collapse" it's Layer Styles into a normal single pixel layer.
    The difference is staggering. This file is a massize 28x36 300DPI (8,400px  X  10,800px) poster.
    So on something like this, while working and tweaking everything you work worked zoomed out so you see enough of the document to be able monitor it's evolution.
    I was working at 25% zoom (depisted above) for a quite a while. Got everything good, but then zoomed in only to see that each letter actually looked like pretty bad compared to what the zoomed composite was telling me.
    I had to revise all letters.
    For hi-res print I guess I better get used to zooming in and out constantly, so I know what to trust.
    I wonder if this issue will ever be rectified. Like Conroy suggests, maybe a setting that allows users to voluntarily sacrifice performance in favor of a more accurate composite?

  • Login/Logout sync with user control over folders to sync

    We have a user who needs modify the folders that are synced periodically.
    The user has multiple computers that they keep synced with OS X Server 10.4.10.
    We turned background sync to unmanaged and they are able to modify their settings and left login/logoff sync as managed. Any time they login/logoff auto sync does not occur.
    How do we configure their settings so that they can adjust the folders that get synced and still have auto sync at login/logoff?

    Not even sure you can do this but you might look for Login/Logout Hooks that can perform the action your looking to do. There would have to be a way to shell-script the Sync part of RHD which I'm not sure you can.
    On the Server Side you can control what get auto synced and what does not in WGM. Then you just set it all to auto on login/logout.

  • Any control over page size when outputting PDF files?

    Is there any way to control page size in the Book creation section (currently 8.5 x 11) or to control the final output page size when printing to PDF? I'd like to create some 10x10 pages (so I can print 10x10 photos) using the excellent Aperture book/album layout features.

    It looks like this has been discussed in previous posts... I did find a nice workaround though which allows us to make pages with usable dimensions for going to photo printing...other than the 8.5x11 offered by aperture .

  • User control over Flex availability in the Browser?

    Hi all,
    New guy to this Flex development. Basic question, I hope.
    Comparing Flex to JavaScript, can the user selectively disable Flex in the browser? It would seem a lot of headaches with JavaScript is dealing with this configurable option (I've historically avoided client side scripting because of this concern). I would assume the plugin could be removed and/or disabled? If so, is there an "agreed to" response under such a condition?
    thanks!
    Karl

    Yea
    When you launch a flex app the html template that holds the swf has a place in it that says 'Flash player required download' and 'Place alternative HTML content here' if no player is detected.
    You can put alterative instrucation in here.
    There are a few ways and an offical Adobe kit around for detecting flash player versions, and most of these use javascript.
    The thing is I weigh it up when it comes to developing an app and Flex is my choice.  I like working on the flash platform.  I think the biggest bonus is that whatever you do in Flash / Flex its gonna work across all browsers on all platforms.  And now with AIR you can also deploy these as desktop apps across all platforms.
    My biggest niggle with javascript, css etc, was that different browser seem to treat bits differently.  I end up doing hacks ansd workarounds, and usually for the sake of getting it to work in I.E.
    Yea server side is your definite way rendering HTML to make sure everyone gets it.  However if your taking Rich Internet App, then thats not gonna provide the tools.  I;d say when it comes to client side code Flex is tops for me.  And one big thing is that Flash has been around for over 10 years and according to the stats installed on 98% on internet connected machines. Thats gotta be good.
    Thats just my opinion, but if your client side coding, its Flex for me. 

  • Images should grow or shrink when the user chooses a larger or smaller font size in ADE.

    Hi All,
    I use percentage values (in "width" attribute within "img" element) for image that should grow or shrink when the user
    chooses a larger or smaller font size. The adjustment affects not only the size of the text but also images but the images
    are getting distorted or blurred when user chooses larger font size in Adobe Digital Editions.
    Can anyone, please guide me; how to get non-distorted and non-blur images in epub package?
    If I directly use images, without svg format i.e. png or jpg files, then images get overlapped on body-text in two column display in ADE.
    OR
    if I directly use jpg or png with width attribute varying in percentage value then image shrinks and grows as user chooses smaller and larger font size but the problem of distorted image remains as it is
    <div class="media-group"><img src="images/pa0000016g26001.png or jpg" alt="Image" width="60 or 70%" /></div>

    Hi DenisonDoc,
    There is no option right now to set properties globally primarily for Text fields. You may make sure fields doesn't contain anything.
    Select all the text filed from the form and right click any of the selected field make sure all of them are selected choose properties --> Appearance there you can choose Font Size and Font type.
    - End users cant change size and type of font. It is up to designer.

  • How Do I Change the Mailbox Font Size in the Sidebar?

    In an earlier preview build of Lion, I was able to change the size of the Mailbox font used in the left sidebar to view more content in the column, but I don't remember what I did to change it.  The Mail/Preferences/Fonts & Colors pane no longer has a Mailbox font option.
    Does anyone know how to change the Mail sidebar font size in Lion?

    I'm not sure what you're responding to.  Bob H. above pointed out a clear bug in changing the Mail list font when he went to Mail/Preferences/Fonts &amp; Colors and changed the font setting for the Mail list (second column), and it didn't work. 
    My issue was the font size in the first column (sidebar), which is not controlled in the Mail app, but by going to System Preferences/General and checking the box for changing the sidebar font size.  This checkbox also controls the font size for Finder (Desktop) windows sidebars (left column), where hard drives, other volumes, user Documents folders, and the like are listed.  This does work perfectly for me. 
    I have no other suggestions for you, except for perhaps trying removing the com.apple.finder.plist file located in the ~/Library/Preferences folder, which you can access by holding down the option key while selecting the Go menu at the top of the screen.  This controls the Finder window settings you have previously selected, and may be corrupted.  Simply move it to the Desktop for temporary safekeeping, then if it simply copied it, vice moving it out of the folder, right click on the file in the folder to move it to the Trash (you may have to authenticate).  This will force the Finder to recreate a default version of the file, which you can then remodify to your liking.  If that works, Trash the copy you moved to the Desktop.  If not, put it back in the folder to restore your prior settings.
    Good luck.

  • Can I Make Font SIze Respond to Container Resize?

    I have a JDialog.
    I added a JPanel as the content pane.
    I use a GridBagLayout for all JPanels.
    The content pane also has a ComponentListener, and I use its componentResize () method to sense when user drags the Dialog to a new size.
    There are two sub JPanels, and one of them uses a CardLayout to conrol a set of other JPanels.
    All the JPanels have a collection of JTextFields and JComboBoxes that is determined at run time.
    My goal is to permit resizing to any size and keeping all components visible and fonts readable.
    That means controlling the font size.
    Getting a ratio from the requested size change and applying it to change the font size of all components almost works. Its good for all increases up to full screen. However I lose it on the way down. The panels shrink more than the font shrinks the fields and boxes.
    The Title and other insets prevent it from being perfect. There is also some slippage from JComboBox having an independent JTextField editor component. Their heights often are inconsistent, i.e. the JComboBox height ends less than the preferred size of its editor component.
    And, if not careful the componentResize ()degenerates into an infinite loop, i.e. I change the font and then pack () which triggers another call to resize.
    Anyway, does anyone know of a model for this problem.
    My goal is for it to stay consistent no matter how small it is shrunk.

    Hi Mike,
    That's right, MultiTouch and Gestures can not be used at the same time, but you should always be able to receive mouse events for 1st touch point.
    Could you try changing your code as below.
    function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
    TweenLite.to(mainMenu.menuPres, .2, {alpha:.5});
    function mouseUpHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
    TweenLite.to(mainMenu.menuPres, .2, {alpha:1});
    please sprinkle some trace statements in event handler to see if they get triggered.
    Also, did you try just adding event listener for MouseEvent.CLICK, instead of MOUSE_DOWN and MOUSE_UP.
    -Thanks
