Delphi Sydney Object Inspector blanking unexpectedly - object

In my new Delphi Sydney the Object Inspector sometimes goes light blue showing no information whether I'm in Design mode or not. The image spans two monitors: you see some of the form at the left on monitor 1 which goes up to the right edge of the Projects / Palette windows, to the right you see some of monitor 2 with the light blue blank Object Inspector. I can see its size as it covers other windows on monitor 2 but it is blank and therefore useless to me.
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I'm guessing what you're looking for is the Blueprint Design Surface. Your currently viewing the Basic Design Surface.
You can toggle between Basic, Blueprint and both by either pressing the B key, or by clicking on the Select Design Surface button - it looks like a blue diamond stacked on-top of another blue diamond . (I've circled it in the image you provided)

Out to exit debug mode with orange boxes

I've a Firefox OS 1.3 on ZTE Open C device. By mistake, I selected the wrong debug option and now I can't use my phone normally: I have an orange box (surrounding elements) that I can move only by sliding to the right the center of the screen.
Do someone know how I can get to the configuration panel and remove this?
I rebooted the phone, even removed the battery, but the option is still here.
I figured out that this is the Screen Reader mode. And there are instructions here.
But in my 1.3 version, the up-down-up-down-up-down doesn't work. Neither the swipe with two fingers...

Can I use an image instead of a title in an Apple Watch app?

How can I put an icon in the top left label and make fullscreen? Apple allocates some space on top for the digital clock and back label. I would like to customize it, but I can't find anything in the SDK to enable this.
The top strip of the Watch screen is reserved for displaying the page title, or occasionally links such as "Cancel" by default for modal views, and the clock. It is not possible to hide this.
It is possible to set an empty title for a page. Some settings will alsoplace a background image behind this text (if you set the mode to 'Aspect Fill', at least in the current Xcode 6.2 beta 3). However, the portion of the image at the top of the screen is simply occluded by a black strip, so this does not achieve what you want.
Additionally, Apple have specifically recommended against displaying logos on the Apple Watch screen, with the rationale that the screen is too small to display for the user anything but actual content.
To set the Global tint:
Select the Interface Controller itself in Interface Builder by clicking on the Yellow circle at the top of the view of the screen.
Press Cmd-Opt-1 to display the File Inspector section of the Utilites on the right hand side.
Set the 'Global Tint' option in the section 'Interface Builder Document', as per the screenshot.
Not possible in the first cut but I think it will come later.
It's not actually a back label. The text in the top left of the Watch screen is the title of the current WKInterfaceController. You can change it by using -[WKInterfaceTitle setTitle:], but you are limited to content that is expressible in an NSString (so no UIImages).
It is possible to customise the status bar in watchOS 4.
Select your interface controller in the storyboard
Open the attributes inspector
Check the Full Screen checkbox
After doing this you can add your custom image to the left of the statusbar.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 1 layout problems

I'm having trouble running my app on the Galaxy tab original 7". It appears to make everything 1.5 times bigger, i.e. if I specify 40dip for a textSize in my layout, it will display as 60 dip when I run it on the tablet.
I tried messing around with the display metrics and changing the density and densityDpi to 1. (When I run a toString of the display metrics in the Galaxy tab 2, they are both 1, whereas the Galaxy tab 1 has values of 1.5)
The app runs very well on every phone I've tested it on, and on the Galaxy tab 2, so I can't figure out what the problem is. I even tried creating a dummy app with just a textView with a size of 40dip, and it still converted it to 60.
Any ideas?
Does the answer to this question help you? Seems that he is having the same (or similar) problem.

Web Colors - Light Grays on PC not showing

I could be completely off but just wanted to see if there was anything on this subject:
I'm developing a site at the moment that includes a few DIVs that use different shades of really light greys for background and border colors. On both my Mac (laptop and desktop) the colors can be seen quite easily. However, on PC (both Firefox and IE) the colors are not there at all.
The current colors I have are #E9E9E9 and #E1E1E1.
The weird thing is when I change the colors to something darker like #CCCCCC the color is easily seen on PCs and I would assume I could put up a few more shades lighter. But when I move it to the next color like #DDDDDD the color is completely gone.
Just on a limb but is there any weird thing like PC's not rendering certain color codes or am I just trying to make something out of nothing here?
I've been in the exact situation and I had a hard time designing UIs because of this issue.
I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 and Chrome, either of which is not the problem.
This issue resides in the monitor settings, in my case I'm using a Samsung Monitor.
I've solved my issue by doing the following:
Reveal your Monitor Settings (via some button in your monitor).
Navigate to Menu, and then go to Picture.
Scroll down to reveal the other settings down below.
Set HDMI Black Level to Normal
Instantaneously you'll see your black colors improved.
There shouldn't be any problem with a PC displaying those colors. It could be a problem with your PC's video settings or your monitor. Have you tried it with multiple PCs and monitors?
