A website for UI Designers.

Hi All,
Am not well-versed with color management and CSS in my development. I will be seeking the help of Google for every such kind of works. I surfed for any such tools and i came across the website named fonttester. Click here to have a look on the webpage. The website was really amazing, as the CSS properties will be listed down in the left pane and the subsequent changes made to the CSS properties will be reflected in the right pane message content. You can go ahead and have a look on it. Hope this web page can guide and help the Usability engineers.

Shortcut to switching between Tabbed Window

Hi all,

            Frequent browsers might have experienced in tabbed window browsing. These tabbed window was supported in Mozilla and in Internet Explorer version 7.0. Meanwhile it is not supported in the version 6  of Internet Explorer. Hope the tabbed window can be added to it by some add-ons. Switching between the tabbed window can be done through ‘CTRL+TAB’ key combination to proceed in clockwise direction and to proceed on the anti clockwise direction make use of  ‘CTRL+SHIFT+TAB’ key. What you do when need to switch over to the third tabbed window from the first window?. I just stumbled over the Internet for such shortcut key and find atlast. You could achieve by using the combination of ‘CTRL+<num>’ key. For example if you need to look of the sixth tabbed window, just press the key ‘CTRL+6′. Hope many of you might be aware of this. This is just to add upon for those who unaware of it.

Protecting your Folder from Unauthorized User

Hi all,
                Perhaps all might be need to safeguard certain confidential matters in their computers. And almost plenty of softwares are available in the market to serve you. Some might be freeware and someother might demand you to pay for their softwares. Why not make use of Disk Operating System for this command?(which is almost inbuilt in IBM based computers). Let me describe how to safeguard your folder view from unauthorised users. Suppose you need to keep the folder ‘Confidential’ in the ‘D’ drive to be unviewable to others. So just go for the command prompt(Start->Run->command) and proceed upto the parent directory of the folder you need to protect for. Type the following command : ‘attrib “<folder name>” +R +A +S +H’ (ie., attrib confidential +R +A +S +H). Go and check for the folder ‘Confidential’ and you could not find it. You can check in the command prompt too. And to renew this folder just type again: attrib “<folder name>” -R -A -S -H.

                  Let me discuss on the pros and cons of making use of it.

pros: 

• You can protect the folder from unauthorised access

• You could not able to delete the folder unless remove the attribute constraint

cons:     

• Though folder name in not avail in the list of command prompt, when just using the Tab key to search for folder in command prompt, it would display it.

• When you forget the protected folder, you could not able to predict the folder from the list of folders on pressing TAB key of Change Directory (CD) in command prompt

                                      Hope the above post will be helpful to you.

Active Print Screen

Hi all,
            Hope i am writing the blog after two weeks gap time. Do you have the experience in validation of a software product?. I been experienced in validating the software product. Everyone might expect the pictorial representation of the error. As some one said, ‘A picture speaks hundred times more powerful than speech’. As a developer, myself also had some experience in some validation of software product. When some bugs are identified some two tier process will be handled normally in a web based application. Normally first an user will make a copy of the whole screen by hitting ‘Print Screen’ Key. Second, they make use of any photo editing tools to have a photocopy of the active screen. Why need such a two tier process?(Myself too adopted the same process till last night). The solution to the above problem is make use of ‘ALT’ &’Print Screen’ to capture only the active screen. Hats off to microsoft developers providing user friendly options to endusers and most of it might not aware of such shortcuts.
