In a production situation we observed the behavior where certain prints are Shrinking to Fit, when we would like to avoid this and just let the page contents fill the paper that we will want to print from.
We were looking for an option to disable Fit to Paper / Shrink to Fit and found it on some very early versions of JxBrowser.
Here: http://forum.soapui.org/repository/jxbrowser-1.3rc/doc/index.html?com/teamdev/jxbrowser/printing/PrintSettings.html
and Here: http://forum.soapui.org/repository/jxbrowser-1.3rc/demo/src/com/teamdev/xpcom/mozilla/demo/components/PrintDialog.java
I could not find any history or release notes to track down what happened to this setting, or if there is a workaround for it now.
One more thing, is it possible to prompt the Java Printing window/dialog instead of directly printing if it happens to be a javascript print command?
We are using JXBrowser version 6.7.1
The "Fit to Paper / Shrink to Fit" functionality isn't available in JxBrowser Printing API right now. Please send your feature request to JxBrowser team via your account in Help Desk Center.

This is a basic question that I hope has a simple solution. When I move my Rstudio window to an external monitor display - it no longer rescales properly and instead is rendered completely useless - showing me only the lower portion of the window (see screenshot) and doesn't allow me to resize the window or adjust it in anyway to access the taskbar along the top. Has anyone else experienced this or have options for how this could be fixed?
I frequently need to shift my Rstudio window to different monitors, and I was doing this with no issue prior to installing the latest Rstudio version - so I am wondering if there must just be some setting that got reset when I updated the software, but I can't seem to figure it out. I have tried fixing scaling options in Windows by using the properties options on the Rstudio icon on my desktop - and then clicking on compatibility and High DPI settings, but messing around with that so far hasn't seemed to work. However I haven't tried all possible combinations as i thought I would check here first to see if someone could fast track this process for me. As you can see in the image - this display is impossible to work with. When I move it back - it works as it should. I am using Windows 10, and I update my software regularly. TY!
Update
Ok, I was able to reproduce on a Lenovo with an external Dell monitor and address the problem by applying a fix proposed in another Stack Overflow thread. See below:
Research:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/windows-scaling-issues-for-high-dpi-devices-508483cd-7c59-0d08-12b0-960b99aa347d
Resolution:
There is a solution, it comes from the option "Compatibility" of the execute file.
Close all current RStudio windows.
Right-click on the shortcut of RStudio (or the original .exe file) and choose Properties
In the RStudio Properties pop-up windows, choose the tab Compatibility
Select High DPI settings
Tick on option Override hide DPI scaling... and then choose System from the drop-down list.
Apply > OK.
(Re)open Rstudio to see the change
On my test system, this addressed the problem observed where the menu text became super large.
Stackoverflow original reference:
RStudio HiDPI support
This appears to be an issue with the version of QT used by RStudio. RStudio is built on top of the QT engine.
QT tracking Issue:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-48242
the issue is marked as fixed in QT version 5.9.0 and above.
Recommendation:
Download RStudio preview and try that:
https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/preview/
Why? The preview version of RStudio appears to use QtWebEngine/5.12.8, which implies the issue is addressed. If that does not resolve the issue you could file a bug with RStudio, or install and recompile RStudio from the source with an updated version of QT. You can check your QT version via the help, about box.
Hoping the above points you in the right direction. Stays safe and well.
I'm trying to enhance the gTile extension by allowing it to resize a fullscreen window to a tiled area of the screen. That's a pretty common thing to do when tiling and it's pretty handy since some windows will hide some chrome when in fullscreen mode. But I'm having the hardest time figuring out how to do that.
Searching the internet led me to this forum post which mentions EWMH and _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN. I've tried to find ways to access window manager hints but can't find anything bashing by head on Looking Glass or scanning through the docs. Is this kind of thing possible through a shell extension?
Meta.Window is likely what you are looking for:
https://gjs-docs.gnome.org/meta4~4_api/
Setting Window.decorated = false may be able to remove the title bar or perhaps getting the compositor object and changing it from there. However this will still keep the address and tab bars in chrome. You may need to find another method to signal chrome to hide those.
There is not really an easy way to do this, the thread you linked is in regards to VLC and modifying it's source code.
I'm trying to implement a screen dimmer using QT4 and I wanted some advice before I get cracking instead of going into this blindly.
I want to create a top-level window that has no frame. I was thinking of making the background black and messing with the opacity so that it will dim the screen out after the system is idle for a given period of time.
The problem with this is that if this window is always on top, how can I pass click events to the window underneath it? I'm not the least bit familiar with the windows API (the solution only has to work under windows), but I'm guessing that's a good place to start. Can anyone point me to some useful classes/functions or suggest another way of doing this via QT?
If anyone's interested in the solution I came up with and the windows API functions I used, you can check out my blog posting here: http://sarcastichacker.com/getnextwindowandgetforegroundwindow
I will be updating the source and making another related posting on the same blog within the next couple of days.
I wanted to create an app in appinventor that would switch screen right/left depending on what side the phone is shaken while unlocked. But couldnt figure out:
a. how to make application run in background.
b. what property i am going for. Like what tells phone's screen to scroll left or right when finger slides across the screen. What method is called. I figured view class would have to do something with it. Having no java experience i couldn't make much sense out of sdk,refernce,resources etc.
Please help me out, i will give you credit for it.
Oh also i think i might have to include "activity starter" too.
It's an issue for app inventor

The standard Application Inventor 2 website, as you surely know, is this one:
http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu/
However, there is another one, which allows using background threads (services):
http://services.appinventor.mit.edu/
It has a feature not available on the standard (official) AI2 website, the Add Task functionality, which allows adding tasks that will keep running even after a screen have been closed.
However, since it is an unsupported version, whose last release is dated from almost 1 year ago, I did not spent time making experiments, but this migh meet what you need:
The website will turn down, but worked like a charm before.
The whole concept was based on a Master Thesis: https://dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/100626/932752939-MIT.pdf;sequence=1
The last message from the site was something like: Google change the concept of background service architecture which cause the 'taks' concept to obsolate and prevent to work in the future.
I have some draggable div tags (using jquery) on my page, and would like to be able to drag that tag onto a day in the calander, and add a new event.
Any hints?
here is the feature request for it:
http://code.google.com/p/fullcalendar/issues/detail?id=238
however, i did make this feature for a single client (under os license) and have yet to roll it into a release. the api is sort of sloppily done, but it works:
http://github.com/arshaw/fullcalendar/tree/fcdraggable
download the branch and run examples/external-event-drag.html
im sorry but i can't spend any time w/ u trying to get it up and running.
Cool! Does this rely on tweaks to the 1.4.4 code, or would it work with the 1.4.5? I tried to compare the 1.4.4 standard and 1.4.5 code vs the 'draggable' example files but they are significantly different. I could not tell if it's specifically different for the draggable example or not.
