Is there any way to remove any visual effects of inno setup installer so it looks like a window 95 skin?
Actually the picture you shown is from an installer with turned off Styles settings in Windows.
See this forum: https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/127339-visual-styles-windows-buttons-turn-off.html if you are interested in such solution.
To achieve that design for your Inno Setup installer you can create your own style that mimic the Win95 style and apply it to your installer using VCL Styles plugin.

I use InnoSetup to create application installer. Since I am installing a plugin for an existing application, I don't want the application icon to show up in the Start menu shortcuts. How to prevent InnoSetup from creating Start menu shortcuts?
InnoSetup will only create icons if you have entries in your [Icons] section. Remove all of the entries and your installer won't create any icons.
In devnull's scenario, another task to do could be to hide the installed plugin from the list of the installed Programs and Features on Windows control panel.
In order to so, you need to add this line of code in your InnoSetup script:
CreateUninstallRegKey=no
I just installed WIX 3.10 and I'm using VS 2012 Ultimate. I have then successfully added a WIX setup project to my solution but that's about as far as I can go because the WIX menu is not showing up. The commands buttons that should appear at the top of the solution explorer window does not appear, neither does the shortcut button that appears just below the 'clean' button when you right click the project. I have tried uninstalling and restarting my PC several times but still the same.

I'm obviously missing something, but what? Thanks very much.
The designer you're looking for is from a 3rd party commercial product:

Normally one would write most Wix files by hand. It's relatively simple XML and the documentation isn't bad.
You can install the extension: Tools -> Extensions and Updates
Then in the search box type 'wix' and Enter.
The extension name is 'Designer for Visual Studio Wix Setup Projects':
I'm looking for a resource or example code on how to change the color theme in VS2012.
I'd like to do this dependant on the value of an AppSetting entry in the app.config.
Ideally when when the app isn't running and the theme would change once the file is edited.
However, I'd appreciate anything towards that goal.
At first, you can use free Visual Studio 2012 Color Theme Editor, which you can download here:
https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/366ad100-0003-4c9a-81a8-337d4e7ace05
This will add “Theme” menu in your VS.
Also you can change your icons: here http://vsip.codeplex.com/ you can download Visual Studio Icon Patcher (But VS2010 should be also installed for this to work).
But, if you want to implement your own code to change themes, the best way is making own extensions which look like VSPackage. You can read recommendations how to do this here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/ru-ru/library/bb165437.aspx
And in other articles at this site you can find more information about implementing your own ideas in the VS.
I arranged my Android Studio IDE tool windows layout to fit 2 screens in a dual monitor setup and saved it as the default. I would also like to save another layout for single screen setup.
Question: Is it possible to save multiple layout configuration for tool windows in Android Studio. If so how?
Thanks,
George
Go to menu window > Store current layout as default
A bit late to the party, but there is a newer plugin, that works much better imho.
You can define 4 layouts, it can switch layouts immediately, it also (re-)stores the floating state of each panel and so on:
https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/13005-window-layout-manager
There is an IntelliJ IDEA plugin preserve-layout-plugin that allows you to that. It's available in the plugin repository, just search for preserve.
By default, you need to restart the IDE or open another project in order to load the layout but the following works as well: you import the layout, you store it as default, and then you restore the default layout.
The following method helped me.
1) Run Android Studio as administrator.
2) Now, arrange the tabs as you want.
3) Go to Window->Store current layout as default.
This is something I missed when I started Android development especially after using multiple layout in Unity Editor before this.
However, I found this plugin - "Window Layout Manager" Link which you can also find and install via Android Studio plugins marketplace.
Allows you to arrange different windows/components like terminal, logcat, project explorer etc and save it with a name.
I searched how to change visual studio 2012 theme many time. But couldn't change it. I download themes. I do everything what guides say in import export settings. It says "Your settings were successfully imported from wekeroad-ink.vssettings." but nothing happens.
Tools>options>ENviorment>General There is visual experience section and you can chose Light or dark themes if you want more you can use Visual Studio 2012 colour theme editor
it have few pre-made themes (especially a blue theme really great to eye) you can also tweak every colour of Visual Studio by using it.
