Win 8.1 converting to look like 7 ? why?

I bought a laptop with win 8.1 on it, got used to the new operating system, and love it, but now microsoft has put out a critical update in wich make it look like win 7 by adding a minimize and close option on all windows.  Im losing interest in 8.1
nowsince that update, how much further is microsoft going to go with the reverting of 8.1 to win 7 look.  people have the choice to buy win 7 or 8 or 8.1.  You had a great thing going, a whole new look. let poeple get angry, they will get used to
it..took me a day to get used to 8.1 from my previous computer wich had win XP.  is this the new irection for 8.1?..to cater to win xp and win 7 users only?..any feedback on this issue would greatly be appreciated.  im almost thinking on going to
apple, since microsoft cant seem to climb into the future respectively, to me it seems microsoft would rather stay with the old OS. than to look into the future.  the way I see it, if I wanted windows 7, I would have bought win 7.  No I bought win
8.1 because i love the new feel. thanks for allowing me to post in the forum, and I hope to get some feedback on the direction microsoft is taking . thank you. K.L.

    Hard to say without more info about the file, where you got it, etc.  If you email me one I could probably figure it out (tom at bluesky dot org).

    "Vaguely like" is the best we can hope for and a minor miracle in itself. PDF was never meant to be converted.

  • Why does my terminal prompt look like this?

    Today I noticed that my Terminal prompt now looks like this:
    *pranaymishra:~ tbarth$*
    Any idea how that happened? There's nothing in the .profile that does this.
    -Travis

    The computer name is 'Travis', and always has been.
    Hmmm...
    Further investigating shows a computer by that name on the network with a different IP address. The DHCP server shows my IP address as associated with my computer name, 'Travis'.
    So could this be an OS X network error where it's picking up the computer name from something like WINS or DNS and not updating it if the IP lease changes? And if so, why does it not simply use the given name specified by the user instead?
    As far as the network is concerned, my computer name is 'Travis', as it should be.
    -Travis
    EDIT: BTW, 'Use dynamic global host name' is not enabled.

  • I downloaded Lion on my iMac.  It apparently cleaned out the hard drive.  Nothing shows up from before.  It looks like a brand new computer.  It is backed up on Time machine.  Any idea of why this happened and suggestions on restoring?  Thanks.

    I downloaded Lion on my 4 yr old iMac.  The download stalled at the last minute so I clicked "CANCEL".  When it was restarted, Lion was there, with no apparent option but to go ahead and install so I assumed it was okay.  Didn't transfer data from "another computer" when prompted - assumed it would transfer from that computer.  It apparently cleaned out the hard drive.  It looks like a brand new computer.  None of my apps, programs,  files, or thousands of photos.   It is backed up on Time machine, but it's a sickening sight.  Any idea why this happened and suggestions before restoring?  Thanks.

    I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
    You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots.  Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
    See Pondini's page for more explanation:   What are Local Snapshots?   http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
    You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.  
    The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library.  Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

  • Graphic looks like chips when SCRIPT convert to PDF by  E-MAIL

    Hi, Experts,
    I have met a difficult problem in my program.
    As required, i draw a SCRIPT form , and convert it to PDF, then send by mail . There is a graphic in my form, and I create the graphic using program RSTXLDMC (first save the picture as a TIFF document and then get the graphic, ), and write
    INCLUDE ZHEX-MACRO-BMON OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE EN
    in the script form.
    And my problem is that, if I choose PRINT PREVIEW , the graphic looks great, the same as the picture it was. But if I choose  E-MAIL,
    and then i open the PDF in my  m ail, the graphic looks like chips  and totally I couldn't identify the picture.
    Anyone who has met the same problem? Please help me.
    Thanks  a lot.
    Sincerely Julie
    Edited by: julie 2192 on Sep 3, 2009 4:18 PM

    INCLUDE Z_IBM_ZGBT OBJECT GRAPHICS ID BMON LANGUAGE EN
    the same error again.
    Anyone could help me?
    Thanks a lot.
    Sincerely

  • Can't figure out why colors don't totally change when you select type with curser? It looks like it has by looking at it, but when you highlight the area after the old color is still there. It happens with objects to. Driving me NUTZ. Help!

    Can't figure out why colors don't totally change when you select type with curser? It looks like it has by looking at it, but when you highlight the area after the old color is still there. It happens with objects to. Driving me NUTZ. Help!

    Select the text, and open the Appearance palette (Come on guys, text highlight is irrelevant, it happens to objects too says the OP), and see what's listed there.  For a simple text object, there should only be a line item "Type", followed by "Characters", and when double-clicked the Characters line item expands to tell you the stroke and fill color.  For a basic object, there should be a fill and/or stroke.
    What happens sometimes, is that you end up adding extra strokes/fills to objects or text, and the appearance palette is where that will be noted.  Especially when you are dealing with groups, and/or picking up a color with the eyedropper, you may inadvertently be adding a fill or stroke on top of something.  You can drag those unwanted thingies from the Appearance palette into its own little trash can.

    How to convert a image layer to a text layer any idea? a image looks like a text in layers box

    You can't convert an image into a text layer.  What you can do is clip an image to a text layer so that just the image layer shows up where there is text.  Create a text layer, then above it put your image layer.  Hold down the alt/opt key and click between the two layers to clip them.

  • Why was yesterday the typefont Lato displaying good in design mode and today looks like Arial?

    why was yesterday the typefont Lato displaying good in design mode and today looks like Arial? In preview mode its looking good

    I'm having exactly the same problem as Kitcarhans just as of now, with the same font (Lato).
    I tried to follow Abhishek's recommended steps, but they are unclear to me, and in any case, didn't have any effect.
        "2. Rename the folders named tk1 and tk2 in the following locations"
    Not sure what this step is instructing me to do; rename them to what new name? Any? The same?
        "3. Launch Muse and add the font again"
    The font was never removed… was it supposed to have been? Well, in any case, I tried removing and then re-adding, but no effect there either…
    Could you clarify these instructions for me, or if they don't apply to the current problem, advise? The two websites I'm working on now both use Lato, so I can't do much of anything until I solve this problem…
    Thanks.

  • Why is my Page looking like this?

    I have essentially the same page uploaded and I have no idea why one is looking like it does and the other is fine. The one that is the DSMS Home is the one I need to look correct. The other one is a test of that page before I made it the homepage of my school!!

    On my machine it looks horrible (viewing in Firefox). The text is all over the place, an image that used to be on the page and I took it off is still on there. I checked the site on a different computer using IE and it looks good. I'm not sure why only on my machine it looks bad.

    Eww, thanks for your reply, as it makes good sense, and common sense is practical when you walk into an Apple store.
    I guess all the reviews and great specs of the new MB pro's made me want one...
    I should probably use my current setup till it is totally outdated or simply is beyond repair.
    I could ask Santa Claus for one, but by than, the 2012's will be coming out..:)
    Thanks Eww for your reply, IAN....

  • Why, when I make a table in a Thunderbird message, does it now make everything within the table larger, even though it doesn't look like that on my computer?

    I have been using Thunderbird to send e-mail newsletters to members of an organization I work for. To do that, I have been using tables to make a coherent looking newsletter. Suddenly, sometime recently in an update or something, ALL OF THE TEXT that is inside the table comes out larger when it is sent. So all my formatting goes to hell. Anything that is OUTSIDE a table, however, looks the same as when I typed it, so it isn't the general formatting of Thunderbird. I have to save everything as a draft (several times, usually) just to try to get it to look right.
    I am including two screenshots to illustrate what I mean. The first, called "compose.jpg" shows how I had to adjust the font size to make the tables work as I had intended. This is what I see when I am composing an email newsletter, not the larger font that appears once the email is saved. The second, called "draft.jpg" shows how this same (exact) email looks when it is saved or sent. (This one is saved as a draft.) Notice that the text at the bottom of the message has NOT been enlarged because it is outside the table.

    No, the signature is not the issue, it is only an example of the issue. Compare the text size in the "compose" image with that in the "draft" image. For whatever reason, text placed in a table is magnified to be much larger than what I see when I compose it. But ONLY in a table. This means that I must juggle the size of the text after I prepare an e-mail newsletter (using tables for formatting) or it won't look like I expect it to.
    This only began to happen sometime late last fall, which is why I wonder if it came as a by-product of some update. What I would like is to be able to specify that the text size I enter in the table remains that size when the email with the table is sent, preferably as a permanent specification, and not necessary every time I do one of these.
