Creating a programming environment using vim and terminator.
I would like to achieve something close to the picture below.
Yesterday, I found a website with an interesting solution on it, for an environment using terminator and vim, but I'm not sure how to achieve it.
Terminator can split screens and resize, etc.. but in the picture it looks like there's only 2 terminal screens (highlighted with red an grey) even though there are 5 panels.
The website I found the solution on: http://www.igordejanovic.net/2015/10/21/terminator-and-vim-love.html
Picture:
I would like to achieve something like this, but I have no idea what those 2 panels on the sides are.
Would like to be able to see 3 or 4 panels, one is a file exlorer like thing (left in the picture) a vim panel, and a compiler / tools panel. Optionally a function list like there's one in the picture on the right.
Any idea what those panels are, and how are 3 different things in apparently 1 terminal screen?
Thanks in advance.

I work in an environment where we have to have a security classification banner displayed at the top of each monitor on our Gnome Desktops. Currently, I am using a Perl/Tk window to display the classification of the system. However, that window cannot be moved because of the way it is built (no decorations) and occasionally overlays open windows making it difficult for users to manage those windows.
I would like to be able to do something different, but I'm not sure where to start. Three ideas I have are this:
An icon or something in the Top Bar showing the classification
A banner, like the Top Bar, that sits above the Top Bar
A window, like I already have, but relocatable
I figure the first option would be easiest, but since the Top Bar isn't shown on every monitor, that may not be the best option. I don't even know if the second option is even possible. The third option would require me to use something other than Perl/Tk but that's the only language I'm fluent in at the moment.
So I'm looking for suggestions or examples or Gnome extensions I can use to solve this problem.
Thanks.
There is a classification-banner python utility at https://github.com/fcaviggia/classification-banner. It's no longer maintained, but we've been using it without change for a few years now. It's OK. One problem is that it doesn't "shrink" the desktop screen, so application windows can overlap it; it's set to Always On Top, but it would be nicer if it actually couldn't be overlaid at all.
A simple solution, of sorts, would be to change the desktop background image. This can have issues if you're displaying on multiple resolutions (I don't know if Gnome supports SVG for such purposes) and of course it can be obscured by windows covering it.
Older versions of Gnome let you create multiple bars that worked perfectly, but that disappeared - along with many other customizations - in Gnome 3.
While my search for a Python debugger on Emacs remains unfulfilled, I am giving PyCharm CE a test drive.
Already on my second day I'm encountering a trivial but frustrating point. Is it possible to set the background to be pitch black in just one place?
A program written by programmers for programmers should certainly have included a feature such as "change the background for Docstrings, Comments, Keywords, ... the whole shebang" to black, but I don't see it.
I understand of course that some parts of the UI will stubbornly refuse to change, and I'm OK with that, just so long as the Python code itself appears on a pure black background.
The Twilight and Mokokai themes come close, but their backgrounds still leave ample "contrast room" that could be used by darkening the background color.
(How do we get from left to right... err.. I mean.. how do we get darker than we are.. um, wait... Isn't the version on the right so much easier on the eye.. but anyway, how can we do it?)
Update
The exact same problem and solution apply to Android Studio.
In File > Settings:
Go to Editor > Colors & Fonts > General
Choose the theme you want to modify (will likely need to Save As... your own as you can't modify the default color schemes.
Go to the Text > Default Text colors and change the background to black. The only ones that won't be affected are the syntax highlighters that define their own background (usually select/highlight/errors/etc.)
Does anybody have an idea how to get rid of line numbers blue background?
It's quite distracting :(
Maybe there is some extension for deeper customization of Dreamweaver (CS5) ?
Even here: Tom’s dark DW dark code colorization for Dreamweaver it's still blue.
Thanks!
I don't think there is a way to change it. The line number bar is a hardcoded object and none of the CSS files or XML files affect it.
Actually, there is a way to change it.
By affecting the basic operation system's settings for the active line highlight color it's possible to achieve this effect.
It probably works on all windows platforms:
for this demonstration I ll explain how to do it on win7.
1. right click on the screen
2. choose personalize
3. window color / advanced appearance settings
4. choose 'selected items' from the drop-down menu
5. modify 'color1' to the color u wish to use in DW.
and its all done. DW inherits the operating system's default/modified color settings.
cheers, Nel.
For the main menu, I want the first four links to be blue, and specifically the last four links to be yellow. There will only be eight menu items.
I was thinking of hard coding the yellow links into the menu div, and that way when the page loads the first four menu items (default colour blue) they will be blue, and then my hard-coded links of yellow would load up.
My question is, where can I add the "yellow" code? Where can I hard code my yellow menu items? Or is there a different, better, approach to this?
My first question would be which men u are you implementing? A lot of them have a menuitem_x sort of id that is applied to the menu markup so with the CSS you can do what you want
As for where to place the markup there are a few places
You can do it directly in the skin files (not suggested since you may have to edit a few files)
in the skin .css files (much better place to do it and more maintainable and portable)
in the admin go to Site Settings and use the stylesheet editor to add the classes to the portal stylesheet (better than #1 but not as good as #2 since its now specific to the portal and not the skin so it wont be as portable)
Number 3 - works good if you dont have access to the skin or dont want to change it for other reasons
You could use Javascript within the skin.
We have done simular in the past for DNN menus but i keep away from the skinning side so dont have any examples, sorry.
Google does though :)
I would use one of the specific SEO friendly DNN menu modules that generate clean code that can be followed by search engines. I usually use one of them, except for projects where I don't have SEO concerns. When you have a menu with clean markup, like a list, you can change the colors using jQuery and specifying the first four items. You can probably do it like this, one by one. There may be a better selector for grabbing the first four items which is something I have never used.
Solved it, not as dynamic as I'd like, but it works.
The way I've done it is I'm playing with id tags, rather than class tags. Using ID, I can pick out the individual menu items and apply CSS to them.
Essentially, it looks like I've done what 'codemypantsoff' suggested. Thanks!
I'd like to write a Linux screen magnifier that's customized to my liking. Ideally, the magnified window would be a square about 150 pixels wide that follows the mouse cursor wherever it goes.
Is it possible to do this in X11? Would it be easier to have an application window that follows the mouse around, or would it be better (or possible) to forget about the window altogether and just make the mouse pointer a 150x150 square that magnifies whatever's underneath?
Look at the source to xeyes?
This actually already exists, it's called Xmag (do a Google search for additional info). You might want to check out the source code for it if you want to know how it works.
EDIT: looks like I misread your question a little bit... if you want a magnified square to follow the mouse pointer around, I suppose it should be possible, but I don't know the technical details of how you'd do it. Regardless, the place to start is probably by looking at Xmag as a starting point.
I am unsure if this can run as its own app or would have to be integrated into your window manager. Either way, you would need libx11 (might have a different name from distro to distro). Also, I would suggest taking a look at swarp. I know this is not even close to what you are talking about, but the source code is only 35 lines and it shows what can be done with libx11.
I would personally make that a frameless window that always stays atop with a 1px hole in the middle. The events that the user makes (Mouse clicks, keypresses, whatever) is passed to the window below.
And when the user moves it's cursor it is ought to be visible to your window and you just move it over a bit. For the magnifying part, well - that is left as an exercise to the reader (Because I do not know how to do that as of yet ;-).
Texworks comes with such a feature to inspect the pdf resulting from typesetting a latex source. You can also choose between a square or a circular magnifier. See https://www.tug.org/texworks/ for access to the code which can serve a launchpad.
