• Toolbar icons - can't do icons only and too small icons

  General complaint

  SO VERY frustrating to have to deal with the changes that are completely unnecessary and unwanted! It looks like Chrome now. If I wanted to use Chrome, I would use Chrome! Why Firefox feels that it is necessary to set a watch to work?

  Cannot get rid of the text of the icon

  Although the option bar Tools Customize is set to icons only (default), the text does not disappear and leave me with only the icons.

  I had a custom (with my own selection of buttons) toolbar and he survived the upgrade to FF29, but after I installed Classic theme restaurateur, I lost it again (who had had a problem with FF28, where I he would suddenly lose at the start and had to rebuild).

  I have rebuilt the toolbar after the upgrade to 29 and he showed the icons only in the beginning. But I repositioned the new toolbar among the toolbars another and this is the text of the icon insisted appearing with icons. I can't get rid of the text now.

  Icon size too small

  The new icons are microscopic! Even when I set the size to the largest, that I can find, in all settings, I can find it, they at least half as before.

  I installed the Restorer Classic theme, but affecting the icons large NAV only applies to the top row icons (where the address bar), not added on toolbars or manually added toolbars. Zoom text applies only to the displayed web page, not in Firefox itself. (Also, large nav buttons are barely visible and seriously ugly; they are not simply a larger version of the default icons).

  How can I report the usual size of the icons of the previous version?

  Thanks in advance for the help.

  1. install Classic restaurateur theme
  2. at the top right of firefox click the button 3 stripes and then customize
  3. at the bottom, you will see settings to show only icons pretty icons and text. There are also small buttons etc. These are all added by the Restorer of classic theme. It also fixes the problem invisible inactive tabs and tiny refresh button problem.

• icons on the too small launch in vista

  In XP, it is possible to have small or large icons in the launch bar. This seems to be missing in vista. Is it possible to have large icons in the taskbar on Vista. Thank you

  First, make sure that the taskbar is unlocked, right-click on an empty space in the bar tasks and then click "Lock the taskbar" in the context menu that appears if it is locked. Then, right click somewhere in a box empty where you find the quick launch icons, click on 'View', then put a check mark to select "large icons".
  Note: If the taskbar is locked the option 'View' in the context menu will not show.

• My drive hard netbook is too small for Windows Xp Pro

  I tried to load a new Windows Xp Pro on my Asus eee Pc 4 g with a hard disk of 4Gb SD. It was Linux I want. The microsoft site, I read stated that it would use 1.5 GB of space. I keep running out of space with all updates. I made a mistake by putting this new copy oem on the netbook. It was activated a month ago and I loaded it twice because it is so big. I compressed drive and reduced the system restore. I don't want to lose this copy and think I should be able to load it on a machine with a bigger drive. I can charge it with the same key or what I need to lose the software. I know it's my mistake, but I think I should be able to reload them on a machine with a bigger drive and save the cost of the software. Microsoft will allow me to move the software? Perhaps they will assign another key? Thank you

  Sorry, what OEM can't be moved to another computer.

  You can buy a hard drive more and put it in the netbook, and then install your OEM copy.

  You can move the windows on a new computer

  If it's a full license or upgrade retail - Yes. You can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on one computer at a time (and if it's a version upgrade the new Windows computer must have its own license of qualification). The previous Windows installation on your old computer must be formatted or deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer.

  If it's an OEM license - don't. OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows purchased separately, are related to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. To install Windows on another computer, you will need to buy another copy.

  Microsoft will allow me to move the software? Perhaps they will assign another key? Thank you

  You will need to buy another copy to install on another computer, if you can find a copy of XP.

  You can purchase Windows 7 here (or at a local store):

• Mac Book Pro is not too hot.  It is time to replace the battery?  Can I replace the battery?

  MacBookPro is not too hot.  It's time to change the battery?  Can I do it myself?

  The Mac runs his fans in a feedback loop, based of the internal temperature measured.

  If the temperature goes up and the fans are not speed up to compensate, you probably have a hardware problem.

  If the Mac becomes too hot, it will make an uncontrolled emergency power off.

  EDIT: Replacing the battery is a completely separable question not related to temperature. Is the Samsung phone batteries that catch fire, not Mac.

• Impossible to restart my Mac Book Pro, blocked by the old printer icon

  I can't reboot my mac to complete book download updates because it is blocked by the former icon of the printer that I can not delete - have deleted the program, but the icon remains open but out of order on the toolbar

  can anyone help

  Jules

  Click on force quit command in the Apple menu (or press Command + Option + ESC) to select the program has stopped responding and get him to leave. If you cannot switch to other programs and you can not choose the order close in the Apple menu, force a shutdown by pressing the power button; do not let go until it powers off the machine.

• Vista icons too small

  My icons on the taskbar went very small so that you have to peer at them to see what they are - I'm sure that's not how they used to be! -Very small & no text...

  Can someone tell me how to fix this please?

  It's just my icons that were too small.

  However, after the foregoing advice I managed to get my PC to do a system restore to a date for a long time, while it's not exactly practical it has now solved the problem, although I have no idea what was causing the problem. The icons seem to be not bigger than see you on Win7, in any case problem solved now!

• Cs6 programs too small icons

  Hello

  I just installed CS6 on my laptop.  All the components (programs), the icons are much too small for aging eyes.  I use Windows 7 and I have increased the size of the icons and text mean in th accessibility settings.  This doesn't seem to affect the Adobe programs and there is nothing in each program; preferences to allow you to change the size of the icons (and text).

  How can I do this?

  Thank you

  SA-webness 1600 x 800 is a very high-resolution screen 17 inches.  You have a special high pixel per inch?

  For many of our applications, we recommend a resolution of 1280 x 800.  You can find a reference to this in the minimum requirements for Photoshop CS6 to http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-photoshop.html#main _ Photoshop_CS6_system_requirements.

  I checked several of our other applications, and they share the same recommendation of resolution.

• Too small interface

  I have a PC with 10 64-bit windows and a screen 4K, the problem is that every time I launch adobe illustrator icons appear much too small and it makes it impossible to use. Please help me solve this problem, I heard that Adobe can only solve this problem via an update.

  

  Thanks, but I found a better solution, I went down to AE CC 2014 and the problem is now resolved.

• Toolbars and menu bars are too small to use

  I installed adobe CS 6 standard on a laptop of Lenovo windows 8.1.

  As soon as I opened Photoshop or Illustrator, toolbars and menu bars are too small to use.

  The rest of the programs on the laptop are very good.

  The user interface is set to wide.  I changed the display settings, and it did not help.

  I use a new laptop from Lenovo.  I have several licenses for my business and it installs fine on windows 7.

  The nanobook Lenovo isn't a good choice for the use of Photoshop CS6.  Photoshop CC has a feature of the user interface of 200%.

• 15.6 "1080 p poster - too small?

  Hello

  I choose a laptop for the edition of photography on the go. I narrowed my choice between a 15.6 screen "IPS (asus G550JK) and 17" EWV (150 degrees improved TN, in the asus N750JK). Both are 1080 p with anti-glare.

  I like the size of 17 "but I'm not sure on the TN slab; I heard that IPS give beautiful accurate colors. I'm afraid that the 15.6 "will be too low. Any advice from those who have experience?

  If I enlarge objects in 8.1 as 125% Win, I'm going to lose sharpness?

  Andrei

  You do not generally want a TN screen. They are very inaccurate if your viewing angle is not on-site. I would recommend going IPS. 15.6 "is great for editing. I do most of my editing on a Mac Book Pro of the retina, which is 15 "something. Of course, it's a much higher than 1080 p resolution screen (2800 x 1800 pixels, it's absolutely amazing for photo editing). In general, you don't want to scale of the operating system that your interface is often messed up when you do this, but I don't know what the effect in Windows of scaling of the Lightroom interface.

• The document will appear smaller on Mac Book compared to the iMac?

  Hello

  I use the Mac for my work in Photoshop. Right now on my Mac Book Pro, I use Photoshop CC 2015 (subscription) on my iMac, I bought and installed on those.

  in any way, if I'm trying to edit a file at 300 DPI on my iMac the canvas shows greater that it does on my Mac Book Pro. Why is this? And can I change this?

  It is annoying because the right canvas appears much too small and is more difficult to work. I can work on a file on my Mac Book Pro and it seems all good, but then open it on my iMac, and things are just not right because the canvas size is larger and the design does not look right and vice versa.

  I never had this problem before, until a recent (not sure how long ago) updated with Adobe Creative Photoshop Cloud. A lot has changed, and it was one of those changes.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you

  Jon

  When you view a document on the screen to display 100%, Photoshop displays a pixel of screen for a pixel in the image.

  The physical size of the pixels of the screen depends on the resolution of the screen and its physical dimensions.

  Your Mac Book has smaller pixels, probably because the screen is physically smaller, and it may also have a higher resolution than the screen of your iMac (retina?).

  So is that what you see is completely normal, and has nothing to do with Photoshop, which has to display the images correctly - it's a screen pixel for pixel of an image at 100%.

  If it is a Retina display, web browsers and other programs dimensionnera images at 200%, to compensate for the small pixels (high density of pixels), which can be confusing. But Photoshop shows the image correctly.

  This has been discussed several times on this forum, like this:

  100% zoom is too small on the screen (the designers don't you displays high resolution)
