Without going all Ubuntu or several desktops, there must be a way or allowing users to carve up the screen real estate or offer other options such as snapping two-thirds or one third of the screen.

Google Chromebooks have begun to move in this direction, although there is much to be desired in their implementation of beta - as current.

P.S. There is no Windows user interface subcategory under Windows 7 here.

Hi Tim,.
 
Unfortunately, these are the only features that are available on Windows 7 to manage several desktop on the computer screens.
 
However, you can use your favorite search engine to find third party software to display multiple screens, as you can do it on Ubuntu.
Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
 
Please let us know if you need other help on Windows. We will be happy to help you.

  • How to make a screen like this on Blackberry

    Sorry for the title but I don't know how to summarize the issue.

    I need to make a screen like this:

    As you can see, it shows these 'boxes' with elements of user interface inside each of them.

    Each 'case' is placed inside something like some sort of table cells.

    I thought it would be a good idea to represent the 'boxes' as individual screens inside a TableLayoutManager with vertical scrolling, but I don't even know if it's reliable.

    Please someone tell me how to do something like that on the BlackBerry because I have no idea where to start.

    I use JRE BlackBerry 4.5.0

    Thanks in advance!

    I would not use TableLayoutManager for that.  In fact, I would write my own Manager specific to each "Box" that you see and then just add the number of these 'boxes' that I needed.

    But since you are new (and welcome to the forums!), I think that you can get pretty close to what you want by using standard controls.

    You use a screen - and setTitle allows to set the title of the screen.  In your setTitle you would define a LabelField - and before you set, you will specify the size of the font you need.  For font color, you will need to override the paint.  In object, you just set the color of your choice

    .setColor (.)

    and then call the super.paint.

    The tips are:

    (1) setTitle is that at a certain level of the OS, it changes to be white to be black, then you will need to override paintBackground() to set the background on the color you want.

    (2) you must specify thje USE_ALL_WIDTH style for this LabelField.

    This kind of thing (change the color and the background color of a LabelField) is fairly widespread, the forum for more search tips.

    On this screen you will add each box.  Each box will be a VerticalFieldManager - you can use setMargin (...) to space out these as you wish.   Call everyone your 'BoxManager.

    Each VerticalFieldManager you will have been given the title bar.  Title bar is an another LabelField as you added under the title of the screen.  Once more you will crush object and maybe paintBackground() to get the colors you want.  Again use USE_ALL_WIDTH.  But to get the Bitmap image, you must expand the LabelField class and provide a setBitmap for this class.  Then in painting, that you have overridden it to set the color, you will also need to use

    .drawBitmap, to paint the image on the right side.

    This, after the call to super.paint ().

    The footer bar is very similar, but this time you will use the DrawStyle.FIELD_RIGHT for the labelField painted himself on the right.  It is in the constructor.

    Finally the trickiest part, the lines and the button.  Leave this for last...

    The simplest option is to add to your BoxManager and HorizonalFieldManager.  Then add a button and a RichTextField (not a LabelField) to that.  This will give you the button first.  Not what you want, but until you have worked a little bit more, are the best option.  You can us back later to get the button on the right side.

    OK, enough, do this step at a time and ask questions about each control separately that you have problems with.

    Good luck.

  • Optimization of memory with several screens

    Hello

    I have several screens in my application and each screen has a few custom controls and bitmap images.

    When I move from one screen to another screen, I have more need not old screen. What is the best way to completely eliminate the permeable screen? I also want to eliminate all objects created by this screen as well.

    I had a deep look in the forums and books, but I can't find or think of a good solution.

    Your help will be very appreciated.

    Thank you

    Nitin

    By defining a null object is not the same as references - definition of a null reference only removes only one reference.

    For example, if you create a field, add to a Manager, then the reference to the null field, then your code is no longer refers to the field.  However, the field is still referenced by the Manager.

  • Bug in several windows in the finder with several screens

    When you use finder on several screens (with separate spaces) there is a problem when you enter fullscreen.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. open finder on a screen.

    2. open another window in the finder on a different view.

    3. full screen or finder window (any).  You will be able to observe a Visual problem where the finder window that you do not use maximizes and enters full screen then go back to normal, just before the finder window you use between full screen.

    4. at this point your finder window full screen is missing in the top navigation bar.  To reveal it, open your mission control and the space finder-click and you will see.  Basically, the navigation bar is on the finder space expanded while the rest of the finder is on office space.

    5a. If you try to exit the full screen, your finder window will freeze.

    5. before going back to full screen, if you go to the mission control and drag your space viewfinder on the screen where your other window finder is currently on, you will be able to leave the full screen and the finder window will not freeze.

    Cause of the error:

    Still, the problem occurs if the following conditions are met:

    -You have two or more finder windows (if you have only a window of finder, you can always expand it without any problem)

    -You maximize a window of finder, and it's the only finder window on that office space

    For example, if you have three screens and you have 2 1 1 finder windows in offices respectively, you will encounter the error when you maximize the window of the solitary finder on the monitors of 2nd or 3rd.  Maximize a window in the finder on the first monitor has no questions.

    Please try to reproduce.  I hope that it is easily reproduced on any machine and I hope this will be fixed as soon as possible.

  • Using TMS to manage several microcontrollers

    You can use TMS to manage several microcontrollers, say some microcontrollers for ad hoc conferences and other microcontrollers for planned?

    There might be better ways to achieve this goal, but off the top of my head:

    1. You can assign some microcontrollers to the same area of the IP assigned to endpoints, these would be used for conferences scheduled, while the remaining MCUs are assigned to a different area of intellectual property and used for ad-hoc conferences.  Different areas in mode using IP will keep the ad-hoc MCU are not used by TMS in scheduled conferences.
    2. You can keep the area of intellectual property the same for all the MCUs and endpoints, but disables the option 'Allow booking' for the ad-hoc MCU, this will prevent ad-hoc microcontrollers are used in scheduled conferences.

    That's all assuming that you're not plan calls, ad hoc, but just let the user to the ad-hoc MCU connect from the endpoint.  For tracking, you can use CCC to follow planned and ad hoc conferences on microcontrollers.  See the 'Routing' section on page 32 and "CCC" section on pg 181 in the TMS 15.2 Administrator's Guide.

    Conductor would probably be the best solution here to help manage multiple microcontrollers.

  • RAID 1 on Optiplex 9020 and Ubuntu Desktop 14.04

    Hi, first sorry for my English

    I am trying to configure raid 1 with a dell optiplex 9020 minitower, but at the moment it does'nt work. I have configured raid 1 on the bios and installing ubuntu start but then fail.

    Possible that the od raid controller PC is not compatible with Ubuntu Desktop 14.04?

    Hardware RAID requires a controller. You then boot BIOS and Partition and INITIALIZE the container.

    You start live linux and to partition and to format and install.  You can't do that on the fly during installation.

    The container must be initialized as a single disc BEFORE any os turns.  The container must be initialized as a reader unique regardless of which operating system you want to install.
