The icon positions

Intermittently, after turning on my computer laptop back, rallied all the icons in columns on the left side of the office.  I have disabled auto arrange and align it on the grid, without success.  How can I backup my settings of office for the positioning of icons.  I am only the single user/administrator for the laptop.

Hi DavidB1954,

Change your screen resolution? Of course, this looks like what you describe.

Are plug you in an external monitor sometimes?

  • Change the size and position of the icon of the list

    Hello!

    I tried to follow this tutorial to add social media icons to my site:

    http://www.webtutorialplus.com/elegant-social-media-menu-with-CSS/

    I managed to do that, but I'm now trying to reorganize (I think that's in the form of list), so that icons are aligned vertically, rather than horizontally.

    I also try to change the size of them, preferably so that they resize according to the fluid grid layout that I use.

    HTML:

    < div class = 'social' >

    < ul >

    < li > < a href = "#" title = "" > < span class = "icon" > < I aria-hidden = "true" class = "icon-facebook" >

    < /i > < / span > < span > as </span > < /a > < /li >

    < li > < a href = "#" title = "" > < span class = "icon" > < I aria-hidden = "true" class = 'icon-twitter' >

    < /i > < / span > < span > follow </span > < /a > < /li >

    < li > < a href = "#" title = "" > < span class = "icon" > < I have aria-hidden = "true" class = "icon-mail" >

  • The "Open a new browser tab" icon in the customization of the interface of the toolbar is missing. An oversight? It is the icon of the toolbar I use more. The '+' on the bar keeps moving position tabs, this is why I love the 'open a new browser tab' - it

    The icon 'Open a new browser tab' coming back?

    You can find the button new tab showing as a '+' on the tab bar.

    You can open the Customize and drag the new tab, button of the toolbar tabs on another toolbar and it will become a regular tools like the new button bar button tab you have in versions of Firefox 3.

    If you would like the button tab at the right end of the tab bar then put a hose to the left of it.

    Open the Customize via "view > toolbars > customize.

  • After editing the file position of the change of the icons on the desktop...

    When I save/update a Microsoft Word Document 2007 Windows 7, the icon moves to the place where I placed it on the desk to the left column. How can I fix it?

    Just put your document somewhere else, like in my documents and then press and hold the

    right mouse button and make slide a link it on the desktop. For some reason any link to the document

    stays whre you put it.

  • Slow movement of the icons of file

    I just upgraded to Sierra and discovered that move file icons became very slow. Whether on the desktop or in a window, I can choose an icon of file instantly, but if I try to move, even a small distance, there is a long pause, and I often get the beach ball, until the icon jumps in position. In this case if I move the couple icon of millimeters right through the window.

    The same thing happens if I move a file between windows. There is a long delay, then a 'Preparing [location] move' dialog box is displayed with a process bar. Another long pause, then a quick movement of the bar and the icon jumps to the new location. Even with a copy operation. Moving to and from the trash by clicking and dragging is also slow. File used for the test was 8 k on disk, 699 bytes of content, is not large files. Movement of file in the trash by command + delete soon also. Open the file information dialog box has been the normal speed.

    I also started having very slow save as... dialog box speeds, slow opening and then slow to fill. The beach ball appeared regularly.

    Any ideas?

    Hello, N.W.J. Hazelton.

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple.  I see your message that you met some slowness during the management of files on your MacBook Pro, since you upgraded to macOS Sierra.  I know that personally, I want to be able to move, copy, and back up things quickly, without a lot of spinning Rainbow cursor to run, so I can see why you've posted.  I'd be happy to help you.

    When my MacBook behaving this way, I found a System Management Controller (SMC) reset helped.  If you are not familiar with how to do this reset, see the following link:
    Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

    If you always see the same behavior after this reset, then start in safe mode can tell you if a program or process could be the cause of the delay.  Follow the instructions here and test your functions copy/move while that started in safe mode: macOS Sierra: start in safe mode

    If your MacBook Pro works fine in safe mode, reboot normally and check to see if the problem has been resolved.

    Have a great rest of your week!

  • Need to maintain the icon in line with end of line to write on behavior

    Need to keep an icon that is aligned with the end of the line of movement 5 write on behavior

    I used speed custom behavior to write on to keep the time between specific waypoints proportionally compared to the times of real satellite data. However, I can't understand a simple way to get the icons to move at the same speed as the write on behavior.

    This video shows how they sometimes go ahead and sometimes behind.

    https://youtu.be/jVz9aGIwnEE

    For D24, I used the behavior of trajectory, with the selected geometry and the Bézier path that I used to write it on the behavior in the well. I used markers for the correct waypoint times. Then I used the customized calendar for the end of the line for the behavior of writing to hit points of interest at the right times.

    For D25 I just use keyframes to the waypoints. Can I add image key intermediary to make things line up OK but it is very tedious to do.

    Is there an easier way to get the icons and write them on the behavior to align correctly, or another behavior or any other method I should use to do this? I have some valuable experience with video editing so I might well do something very basic the wrong way.

    may I suggest a different approach?

    Start with your icon (somehow remembers me a bird of Pray Klingon, sorry)

    Animate: Press REC, playhead set at time index, move the position icon...

    Thus, icon bird moves exactly at each x / y and precise at the time...

    Now, create a new group "Trail", paint a small circle, make a particle

    now, Magic 1st part:

    Set rate of high birth, 300, 500, 1000... determines the "softness" of the line trail

    the life value max

    set the speed to zero - we do not want a cloud of points...

    Finally, Magic pt 2:

    Link group (behavior) the Position of the track to your bird...

    In doing so, the transmitter following the bird - and leaves a trail behind it:

  • Updated FireFox, restarted and now it will not open the browser, even if the icon does not appear in my taskbar. Was fine until the update last night. Win8.1 running

    When I move the mouse over the icon in the taskbar that appears after that I have I dbl-clicked on the icon on the desktop, you can see a miniature version of the browser open as usual, unfortunately, the browser will not open upward on the desktop. I've deleted and reinstalled several times. It has worked very well until I did the update last night.

    Machine features:
    8.1 to win
    16 GB of RAM
    3 video concerts
    Processor AMD FX-6200 6 3.80 Ghz
    64 bit

    Sometimes, a window is "off the screen" somehow. Often, you can force it to appear on the screen by right clicking on the thumbnail image just above the taskbar and choose expand. Does it work?

    A possible cause for this is that the file that stores the positions and sizes of window is corrupt.

    #1 method: If you can get a zoomed window:

    Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    #2 method: If you can not get a Firefox window for all:

    Close Firefox by right clicking the icon in the taskbar > close all windows.

    Using the Run dialog box (windows key + R) or the search for the start bar menu (or perhaps 8.x for Windows search of charms bar bar?) type or paste the following and press ENTER to drill down to the profiles folder:

    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    Here you can see a folder - in this case, double-click that - or more than one case - in this case, double-click on in what looks like the most recently updated.

    Scroll down and rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?
