Widgets in Dashboard have Off-Centered Text

For some reason my Dashboard Widgets display text about 5 pixels too high. Is there something I can do to center the text again? I have included some links to images of widgets below.

  • Centered text in PDF

    Hi
    I am new to this Acrobat SDK forum. I am trying to write a PDF code, but I have problems centering text. Below is a short "program" that writes the text "Centered text" starting at position x=100, y=600. But how do I center this text at some position, say x=200, y=600 ?  Can anyone help?

    Hi, Irosenth and others again.
    To try to solve my problem (because I do not know how to do this in PDF), I made a short PostScript program to check the length of the characters in Helvetiva 10 pt. A part of the program is shown below. If I have the length, I can calculate the centered position of the text in my C or Fortran program, that makes the PDF file.  This investigation gave, for instance, the lengths for A, B and W as:
    A:  6.66797
    F:  6.10840
    W: 9.43945
    When I placed the EPS file into Adobe InDesign a bit different values came out:
    A:  6.66959
    F:  6.10963
    W: 9.43942
    ... and still different in Adobe Photoshop:
    A:  6.67081
    F:  6.11075
    W: 9.44115
    I have the feeling that character lengths are given as integers in the font file (not as real numbers) and I actually have to multiply these lengths (for 10 pt. Helvetica)  with some unknown value to find the "correct" lengths of the given characters. Does anyone know the actual length of the character A in Helvetica for instance?
    PostScript program:
    /Helvetica findfont
    dup length dict begin
      {1 index /FID ne {def} {pop pop} ifelse} forall
      /Encoding ISOLatin1Encoding def
      currentdict
    end
    /Helvetica-ANSI exch definefont pop
    gsave
    /str 20 string def
    /Helvetica-ANSI findfont 10 scalefont setfont

  • Help-menu screen is off centered

    I created a DVD in iDVD 7.0.3. Even though my background image and text was centered squarely in the tv safe viewing area, my menu screen shows up off centered (image all way to the left on tv). Granted I do have a widescreen tv. I tried all settings and it still shows off centered. Any suggestions?

    I'd try the DVD on your computer and in another DVD player/TV to see if it's a TV setting or an iDVD issue.

  • I'm using Acrobat Pro 11. When printing an email to PDF most of the time it cuts off the text on the right margin. Setting look OK and I've moved things around on the email, but that doesn't seem to make any difference. Is there an Adobe setting I'm missi

    Like I said above, print to Adobe pdf and it wants to cut off the text on the right margin. I can't see to find a setting that changes this. Any ideas??

    OK, so I have now found that this is apparently normal for iTunes, to only accept mpeg 4 movie files, all the searching I did before I must have worded it wrong because I couldn't find anything about this, incredibly. Had been looking for why iTunes won't take all the files it previously did, like if it had been changed, and it hasn't, it's allegedly always taken only mpeg 4 files. Also I had been searching for why iTunes crashes every time I try and add/import anything but mpeg 4 files, and even sometimes with mpeg 4 files. That isn't normal, it's supposed to just do nothing apparently as I've just found out. So for these reasons I didn't find the answer despite my searching all over the web.
    So I guess that answers my own question now, but I'm still perplexed as to why I absolutely, definitely, without any doubt, had several hundred movies of a few different video file types loaded, accessible and playable in my iTunes library that everything here claims iTunes never accepted. It apparently shouldn't have been possible for me to have done this, but for probably 10 years it's been this way.
    Perhaps since I don't remember adding these files to iTunes anymore recently than maybe 6 or 7 years ago, the iTunes back then did accept all kinds of file types? Or could I have somehow had some video codecs or software that expanded the capability of my movie players like Quicktime Player that unwittingly also allowed iTunes to take those files as well? All I know is somehow it worked! So now my question is how did I have it working before, so that maybe I can make it work again.

  • How can I print off a text message conversation?

    I have to print off a text message conversation and I was wondering if there is any other way to print them off instead of using screen shots?

    An alternate utility you may want to look into is DigiDNA's Disk Aid. You install it on a computer, Mac or PC, connect you phone to it and are able to back up everything on the phone and have access to all the stuff in there. Not free but really worth every penny. Free if you work or study in higher ed.

  • Every png file I have suddenly has text that cannot be edited

    Hi everyone, every PNG file has suddenly lost the ability to edit text, I can highlight the text box, but to actually select box (or any item) I have to click and then drag it. I can select the the box and change font, size etc from the properties bar but i cannot select it so I can change the actual copy and wording, usually i would just double click on the text and it highlights it.
    I made a new text box where I can write text, but when iI click off the text, I can not click back on to change the wording
    This in CS6 which I recently downloaded, I tried opening the files in an old Fireworks and it has the same problem
    It is every single png file I have from the last few years
    I am using a Macbook
    The only thing I thought It could be is I changed the settings for PNG files in that instead of opening in Preview they open in Fireworks, since then this has happened
    Thanks in advance
    Darren

    Text selection issues have been seen when you are running third-party applications like SoundCloud / Spotify / Grooveshark Desktop Helper or Radium. If you are running any of them, please close them and relaunch Fireworks. This might resolve the issue.

  • Gmail Widget in Dashboard Simply Doesn't Work

    Hi,
    I just purchased a MacBook Pro. Everything is great, but for some reason the Gmail widget in dashboard simply will not work. It installs, but after I put in my email and password the gmail logo blinks and the window remains blank. I have tried downloading it and uninstalling it numerous times. This is a really useful widget as it will allow me to check my email at a glance and it is simply not working. Am I missing something?
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    im wondering if its a compatibility issue with 10.5.6? // i cant try it out now but i will later tonight /// try using mail untill then as long as you leave it open then it will put numbers on the dock icon and beep once when e-mail comes in.

  • In AE CS6 I have 2 3D text layers swapping poition as the camera pulls back from them.

    In AE CS6 I have 2 3D text layers swapping poition as the camera pulls back from them. One layer has a blur added and if I switch off the fx then they stay in the correct order.
    The whole comp consists of 25 tiles (2500x2500px) laid out in 3D as a surface, it is a large map, and the text, which are place names, are at 90 degrees to it. I have placed nulls on the surface to to anchor lights and text to the correct points on the map.
    I wanted a drop shadow behind the text to aid legibility against the background but since using a layer style breaks the render order in 3D space I have duplicated the text, made the front layer white and the back layer black and added a fast blur to the back layer.
    There are expresions to fix the position of the text layers to a null, another expression that rotates both layers linked to rotation of the null that the camera orbits around and also a scale expression that links the scale of the text to the distance from the camera, so the text stays the same size in the frame no matter how far or close the camera moves. In the comp the text layers are next to each other, the white is the index number above the black.
    This has all worked fine. The camera, pulls back, rotates around and the text faces the camera and stays a constant size in the frame. Then I was asked to tweak the move. Suddenly the two text layers swapped round, the black shadow layer obscuring the white text when the camera is in close. As the camera pulls back they go back to their proper positions. However if I turn off the fast blur then they both do what they ought too, white renders ontop of the black no matter what the distance.
    Does anyone have a clue as to why?

    It's not just a preview issue though, as it also renders out. So there's something going on.
    My fall back was going to be to switch to 2D text and use an expression to link it's 2D comp position to the null in 3D world space.
    Totally forgot about the Drop Shadow effect, I've been using layer styles for so long now, as there's more control control over the look, but Drop Shadow appears to be working.
    Many thanks for that. A big help!

  • Off centered browser load when it should be centered

    Hello to whoever reads/helps.
    I am new to Muse and I am trying to create a new site.  The problem I am having is that my website should be centered with the background stretching to all four edges of the browser and when I preview it, it looks great.  However, when I upload everything onto the hosting server and test it out live with Safari, Chrome, and Firefox, the website loads off centered with the background video no longer stretching to all four edges of the browser.  If you hit the refresh button on the browesr, it appears and functions as it should.  It is only on the first load that I am having an issue.
    My website is still in a testing phase and consists of only one page with a title, 3 png icons that will act as triggers/links, video background, and a png file over the video.  I do not want to persue any further if I cannot be sure that the site will load properly.  This will be a protfolio site to help me get a proper job.  If this is going to be a problem, then I would just assume use HTML, CSS, and Javascript, but I would rather make it in Edge so I can use animations for transitions, etc.
    I am using Edge Hero 0.2 for the background video and image and to center content.
    Any help would be amazing, thank you.
    http://www.madgraphic.net

    I ment to say that I am new to Edge Animate, not Muse. 
    Anyways, thank you for taking a look. This is unreal, its not behaving the same way anymore.  It was doing this for at least 3 days.  I have done nothing to the file since posting.  I guess i'll check myself into the mental clinic tomorrow, jk.  I will procede with developing the site and assume that it is all good.  The video is just a temp to plug something in to make sure its working.  Thank you again.

  • How do I turn off auto text in emails?

    Got a new BlackBerry Storm 2 9550. Works great except the auto text in emails drives me crazy. There are instructions for turning it off in text messages but I can't find anything about how to do that for emails.
    Help???

    Hi kja731, my name is Kymlyn and I am a representative with Verizon Wireless. I will be more than happy to assist you with making changes to your phone's settings. You will be able to disable all auto correction features for both text messaging as well as email by following these steps:
    1.On the Home Screen or in a folder, select Options 
    2. Language and Text Input
    3. Show Text Input Options
    4. Uncheck Auto Correction
    You may also have to disable the Auto Word Learning feature as well. Which can be done with the following steps:
    1. On the Home screen or in a folder, click the Options icon.
    2. Click Language.
    3. Click Show Text Input Options.
    4. Clear the Auto Word Learning check box.
    5. Change the Learn Words From Email Messages field to Off.

  • Envelope printing is off-centered (Lexmark E238)

    I'm trying to print envelopes via my Lexmark E238. However, they print off-centered, so the addressees appear cut-off at the bottom of the page.
    If I put in a full sized piece of paper and print on that, it comes out as if the envelope should be justified to the left side of the printer. However, the envelopes have to go in the centre.

    This seemed to resolve with the following change in settings:
    Paper Handling -> Destination Paper Size: "Scale to fit paper size: Envelope #10" (default setting is: "Use Document Paper Size").
    I have no idea why or how this resolved the issue, and properly it shouldn't have. But it did.

  • Can't turn off twitter text in iphone4s. Tried settings, notifications, twitter is not an app there. Also tried settings, sounds, tweet, none, and still won't turn off notification for twitter texts.

    Can't turn off twitter text notifications.  I tried settings, notifications, but the notification center doesn't have the twitter option.  I also tried settings, sounds, tweet, none- for alert tones.  This is still not turning it off.  Twitter people said it's not their problem.  Is anyone having this problem?

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • Turning off the text for a master data object

    What happens if we turn off the texts for a master data object?  (In RSA1, under info objects - double click on info object and go to Master data/texts tab and untick the 'with texts' box).  Are there any risks in doing this?  Has anyone performed this and run into any issues?  Thanks

    Hi,
    There are no issues in turning off the texts, but if its an object that requires description in the report, say material, plant etc, then you won't have that available as the texts are disabled and not loaded.
    Cheers,
