Rollover hex code to show color thumbnail - dreamweaver

Is there a setting where I can have the color thumbnail to show next to the color hexcode? Or is there a way in dreamweaver that I can quickly know the colors of the hexcode?
Sometimes when I rollover the hex code, it shows the color thumbnail but there are times when it is either veryyyyy slow to popup or it doesn't show at all. */This can chew some nerves./*
Is it due to a certain setting I missed or it is a by default behaviour? How can I have it show right next to the hex code?

You are working in the code view? Usually when you select the hex code in the stylesheet it will give you a quick view (thumbnail/icon) of the color, and even allow you to alter it.

SVG color different from page element to cursor

I am replacing the cursor with an SVG, and it doesn't match the color of other elements on the page.
I have attached an image below (taken with my phone, because I cannot screenshot the cursor) Both SVGs were saved from the same file, both have a color value of #FF0000. This persists across all browsers.
The TOP button is applied as a background to the element.
How can I fix this?
Apparently, the two colors appear to be identical on some monitors, but drastically different on others. In particular it's the Apple Color LCD profile on Macbook Pros that creates a drastic difference. Unfortunately this isn't something I will be able to solve.

Converting Google Docs entire document area for true dark background usage

I can see that I am able to change the background color for my Google Docs document through the page settings. If I choose a dark color such as black, I then notice that I have to manually adjust the text color to something light like white...but that still doesn't change the ticker to white (which shows me where my current typing position is located in the document). The ticker is still black.
How do we change the ticker to white as well...?
I have made a whole theme for Google Docs and Google Translate through userscripts recently, so it's more pleasant for eyes mostly at night. No need to change page background or font color, therefore you can use the default settings and print it without modifying anything. :-)

How do I change the color of the frame in ColorBox?

I am new to jQuery and although I have got 90% of what I want to do sorted out I am not able to change the colour of the frame in ColorBox from gray. I have been through the code and have read through the settings section of http://www.jacklmoore.com/colorbox but cannot see where it is set. Help would be much appeciated.
There is no javascript option for you to change the color. You will have to do it via CSS. It will vary depending on which "theme" you are using, and you may have to edit or create new images for it.

How do I display same "proportional" text size on different resolutions?

I draw some text on screen using ID3DXFont::DrawText. This text should be displayed the same regardless of screen resolution.
For example, if screen resolution is low, text wrapped and when it is higher text is not wrapped. How can I avoid such situation? I want text size to be connected to screen resolution so if resolution is lower I want the text to be relatively smaller so that no wrapping happens. Is there any way?
Thanks in advance
Below is a logical solution. It doesn't have any of the code or procedures needed to make work in direct X but having done something similar outside of DirectX I wanted to share the logic
Working on whatever default screen resolution you want set the font to be the size needed.
Find the percentage of the screen height the font size you chose takes up.
Then having stored that value when you go to render again, in the final version of the program, calculate the font size based on the screen size and the percentage
What I was working in had functions like GetTextHeight and properties on the font size to allow you to set the height (which in turn set the font size appropriately). So if can find anything similar to this in DirectX than this could be a route for you to take.

Is there a program to create gifs out of text?

Is there any program that can convert a file into an animated gif by taking the bytes (whatever I see on an editor is seen) and producing them on frames? Im trying to change a large script I wrote into an image so that if I run it, it looks like as if the code is scrolling. I would use photoshop, if I knew how to use it. Even then, the code is really big, so I dont want to be doing it frame by frame.
Whatever you see on the editor screen is ... a screenfull, so why not a screen capture program like http://www.faststone.org/FSCaptureDetail.htm
However, I suspect that you want to convert the entire file to a gif, since you talk of scrolling. Is that so?
If so, be aware that animated GIFs are limited to 8 frames, so you might want to convert to another movie format.
You could, for instance, Google for "text to MPEG". If nothing does it directly, get something that adds subtitles & make your video a solid white background *or match your webpage).
Maybe simpler is something like this ...
