Dec 11, 2014I've seen plenty of ways to magnify the area around your mouse. Is there a way to magnify a specific area of the screen, leaving your mouse free to do whatever it wants? I.e. something like a box that just sits on my screen instead of following my cursor around.

View 5 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: Lower Middle Area Of The Screen Backlight Too Bright
Apr 14, 2010I just noticed that on a black background, my 17" i7 MacBook Pro has two areas in the lower middle area of the screen, where the backlight is too bright compared to the rest of the screen. It is very noticeable on a black background and grey.. Is anyone else having this problem?
Other things I noticed:
- there was dust on the plastic cover that you take off the case when you use it for the first time
- the aluminium enclosure was slightly dirty, could be rubbed off though..
- there are two minor 'impurities' in the aluminium (?!).. two tiny grey spots/blemishes basically
- there were a few minor scratches on the aluminium casing.
- the apple logo at the back glows in a much warmer (yellow-ish) colour than the previous generation mbp (?!)
- the screen seems not as bright as the previous generation
- the keyboard backlight seems not as bright as the previous generation
Applications :: Window/screen Management App?
Oct 2, 2008Just set up my new Mac Pro with two 30" LCDs. Are there any apps that would help snapping windows to quarters, thirds, or halves of the screen? -- or perhaps saving a workspace-worth of apps? Or is there some secret OSX functionality towards this?
I've googled and found such apps for Ubuntu and Windows, but nothin for our Leopard!
Applications :: Safari 5 Control-click Doesn't Work In Content Area?
Jun 10, 2010Control-click has stopped working for me in Safari 5's content area.
It works fine when clicking on Safari's toolbars and it also works fine in every other app including Finder.
A complete reinstall of Safari 5 didn't solve the problem.
I tried deleting every preference file and cache file I could find but that didn't help. And fixing various permissions and other things in Onyx had no effect.

OS X :: Switch Window To Other Screen?
Oct 13, 2008My old work PC had an application running which added a small < button to the menu bar next to the restore, min and max buttons which, when clicked would move that window to the adjacent screen.
Is there an app like this for OS X? I'm really looking for something I can evoke with a keyboard shortcut like spaces that simply moves the selected window to the same position on the adjacent screen so i don't have to constantly leave the keyboard to move windows around.

OS X :: Window Stuck On Screen?
Aug 22, 2009i had firefox open and i was typing on another site. i opened the special characters window because i needed a unique symbol. when i tried closing that window, it froze. i proceeded to quit firefox so it would go away. it stayed on my screen though, even with firefox closed. next i thought my computer was just being buggy. so, i completely shut it down for a while and logged back on. the window is still there and won't go away.
here's a screenshot i took so you can visually see what's going on here: [URL}
after the previous attempts didn't work i've tried completely removing firefox from my computer and redownloading it, which didn't work, and restoring my system, which also didn't work.

Software :: Application Window Is Off The Screen?
Apr 28, 2008I use the F9 key to show all my open apps and one of the apps I have open is off the screen! and I can't find a way to drag it back. I used to have the laptop connected to second monitor creating duals which might explain it but once you take off the second monitor shouldn't all the apps show on the main screen??
If this has happened to anyone let me know!! I'm trying to find a way to fix it.
OS X :: How To Make A Window Full Screen
Jul 1, 2007I recently switched from Windows, and while I love OSX overall, I miss the ability to make a window fill the screen. I don't want to do it all the time, but want to be able to do it when I'm focusing on a single program, or want to use as much screen real estate as possible.
Are there any plugins, programs, or Automator settings that would allow me to do this?

OS X :: Fitting Application Screen To Window
May 2, 2010I'm not sure if I'm phrasing this right. I work on an external monitor connected to my macbook, set to 1920 resolution. I was using Itunes stretched out to fill the whole monitor at that resolution. Upon switching to the macbook, the itunes window is now too large when I switch to the macbook display. I can't even see the bottom right handle that you normally drag to resize the window. Clicking on the + button doesn't help, as it only shrinks Itunes to the mini player. How can I get itunes back to a smaller window size?

View 3 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: No Login Window Just A Blue Screen?
Apr 22, 2010I love customizing my Mac and tinker with its preferences so I guess I had this one coming, although it's my first major mistake.
I'm running Mac OS 10.5 and I downloaded a loginwindow.bundle from deviantart to customize my login window but I realized too late that it was for Snow Leopard. What I ended up doing was:
- I replaced the original loginwindow.bundle with the one I downloaded; and
- I replaced the original com.apple.loginwindow.plist with the one included above.
- Thankfully, I made a backup of the original files which I kept in my Documents folder.
I then logged out and ... the login window never appeared, just a black blue screen and that round loading thingy at the bottom. I'm sure that's the only cause of my problem. (If it helps, I don't have autologin enabled, so I have two accounts to choose from before I can login.)
I've tried booting in single user mode and in safe mode but neither works.
I've narrowed down my options.
1. Use some commands in single-user mode to replace the new loginwindow.bundle and loginwindow.plist with the old ones, which are in my Documents folder (like in Terminal). Thing is, I don't know how to do this, if ever it's possible; OR
2. Use my Bootcamp partition (thank God for Bootcamp!) to manually do the abovementioned option with Transmac, which I already tried. Unfortunately, I can't write to my Mac OS partition since it's read-only, which leads me to the problem of having to change it to read-write via single-user mode.

View 7 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Full Screen Window Wtih Overlapping Dock?
Jan 10, 2011New Mac user with a couple of questions:
1. Is there any way to be able to maximize a window to fullscreen by dragging the bottom right corner, like say a browser window, but have the dock overlap it? Auto-hide on the dock is too slow. If I have the dock on auto-hide, stretch a browser to full screen, then unhide the dock.. the dock does what I want and overlaps the maximized window. However as soon as I open a new window, or minimize/maximize the browser window, or hit the zoom button, it resizes so that it does not overlap the dock. It's annoying to lose 3/4" of vertical space on the bottom just for the dock..
2. Is there a keyboard shortcut for to mute the audio? I know there's a dedicated fn button on the MBP but I have a logitech 8 button mouse and on my PC the logitech software gave me "mute" as an option for what a button could do. Unfortunately I'm unable to get the logitech software working on my Mac so I downloaded Steermouse which is great but doesn't give me volume control options for my mouse buttons unless there's some kind of keyboard shortcut that exists?
3. Is there really no keyboard shortcut for the undo command???? That seems kind of crazy. It's blank in every application I've check, yet there's a keyboard shortcut for redo.
4. Is there anyway to remap cmd-x/c/v to ctrl-x/c/v like on a pc? The command button is so close, this is definitely one function that is better on a PC.
5. Is there a way to change the default file manager from finder to something else? I downloaded Macintosh Explorer and really like it, but everytime I open a folder on my desktop it opens it in finder (which I strongly dislike).
