When I was 15

When I was fifteen my biggest concern was passing Drivers Ed. William Kamkwamba’s biggest concern was trying to figure out how to build a windmill out of spare parts. It’s purpose? To power a couple light bulbs and a radio.

I think it goes without saying that William’s life is a lot more complicated than anyone I know.

Show Me Everything

I’ve been using Photoshop CS3 for awhile now but there’s been one thing bothering me. This little menu option:

 

By default Photoshop hides a vast number of menu options. So each time you want to select a menu option that is hidden you have to select the menu, click “Show All Menu Items” then navigate to the menu item you wanted in the first place.

Now there is a solution. You can visit the Menus option under the Edit Menu and modify what is hidden by default.

From here you can select the different menus and their respective menu items.

 

It’s rather time consuming but you can select every item to be visible by default. After making your changes you can save it as a menu customization file.

I’ve taken the liberty of creating a custom file that has every menu item on by default. Download and extract this file and place in in the following directory.

~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Presets/Menu Customization/

Now you can select the “Everything On” Set from the Menu options and have instant access to all the previously hidden menu items.
