Changing the properties of the Tools Palette in LiveCode - livecode

I inadvertently set all preferences to default in live code 9 and now the width of the Tools Palette is wider (I guess it's three columns wide). I would like to set the width to two columns width.
Also when I start a stack I now see a grey 'background' instead of the desktop. I use MacOS High Sierra on a MacBook Pro and LiveCode 9.0.0.
How can I change these values, since I don't see those items in the Preferences-window.
Thanks in advance.

The tools palette width can be set by clicking on the preferences icon in its upper right corner.
The way to fix your "backGround" issue is to select the "backDrop" menuItem in the "View" menu. Your choice will stick between sessions/

Android Studio changed to Ugly Font [duplicate]

Right now I am using the Darcula theme. I want to change the default font to something else. I go into Editor > Colors & Fonts > Font but all the options are greyed out. For Editor Font it shows Show only monospaced fonts as checked with Primary font as Monospaced, but neither of these can be changed. I tried changing the font under Appearance but that just changes the font used around AS and not inside the editor.
All you have to do is click the "Save As" button to create a new profile. You can't change the font because you can't overwrite the default profile
Android Studio The defaultEditor(Editor)TheScheme(Scheme)Is the font cannot be modified,you canSave as,
Save as a new scheme (Scheme),and then change the font size;
Location: File->Settings->Editor->Fonts -> Font & (for Mac : Android Studio -> Preferences)
We can change the font size according to CTRL + mouse wheel which is really easy to use it !!!
To use this feature select File -> Settings -> Editor -> General -> select the checkbox of Change the font size (Zoom) with Ctrl + Mouse Wheel
I hope it's helpful.
After Spending a good quality of time on this issue i finally fixed it...
In Latest Android Studio 3.2 version
Follow it will work for sure...
Step 1: Go to File Select Settings...
Step 2: Select Editor and select Color Scheme from right side window...
Step 3: Create a duplicate scheme by clicking on the setting icon from right side window as shown below image
Step 4: Now select Color Scheme --> Console Font from left side window and follow the image...
point 1...
point 2...
point 3 select the scheme which we create in Step 3
point 4 select the font type you want display text
point 5 select the font size of your wish.
Click on the Apply and Ok...
Step 5: Work 100 percentage...sure...
Find Setting icon from top toolbar and follow the steps accordingly in image attached.
I was able to increase the font, using the follow strategy.
If creating a custom setting doesn't help:
Click on File -> Settings ->Editor and check the field: "Change font-size with CRTL + Mouse Wheel"
Worked for me.
We have to be more careful when doing this. For the first time I have changed the font size of menu by mistake instead of font. First create your own scheme by going to File-->Settings-->Colors & Fonts and then you can make changes to your own scheme. The final procedure is to go to settings(File-->Settings) and then select Editor and Colors & Fontsin the left bar menu. Then select the arrow on the left side of Colors & Fonts and then select Font in the left menu bar. You will get options to change your values. Remember you can only change values to your own sheme.

Done.

How to snap a window to top/bottom half of screen

One of my favorite features in Windows is the ability to snap windows. [1]
With Windows 10 they can now be snapped to quarter-screen, as well as the left- and right-half screen available in previous Windows releases.
Is it possible to snap a window to top and bottom half?
In other words, snap a window to span the width of the monitor, but only half the height? It could be snapped to either the top or bottom of the screen.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4027324/windows-10-snap-your-windows
Unfortunately no, not natively. See e.g.: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-desktop-winpc/snap-assist-to-top-and-bottom-in-portrait-mode/3ecdd25e-8886-4ef1-a7db-0d2e168ce381.
There are third-party solutions, such as https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/portrait-mode-and-windows-snapping/?ID=8e0ff0b8-5988-43d9-bd54-4567d7869f48 and https://www.nurgo-software.com/products/aquasnap
This is now natively supported in Windows 11. Press Windows+Z, then you can select where you want your window to be. There are several other portrait-only layouts too (the spot that is dark blue is the one my mouse is hovering over):
Not in the way that you snap windows to the left and right; if you try to snap a window to the top by dragging it to the top of your screen it will just maximize that window...and dragging to the bottom won't work at all.
One way that I can think of that will work is minimize 2 windows that you want to split and resize them both so that they span the width of the screen and approximately half the height of the screen. Then drag each window to the desired portion of the screen. To make things easier, you might want to have the window that you want on the bottom of the screen open over the one that you want on top of the screen before you start minimizing windows.

how can i set the default font/size in UML designer?

how can i set the default font/size in UML designer?
I changed it in the preferences sirius, but the diagram still uses the old default fonts (ubuntu 9) which is just to tiny on my big screen.
i have to change the font manually to 12 for each class/component and to 10 for each operation, property, link etc.
This preference is used only for the Notes. You cannot change the size of the font globally.
But you can select the multiple elements and changes the font size thanks to the Appearance tab in the Properties view.
You can also use the zoom to get all the elements of the diagram in a bigger size.

Tooltip font too small on 4k display (doesn't scale)

I have a 15.6" 4K laptop display. I can easily scale up Android Studio and its fonts -- except for tooltip fonts (i.e. starting tips, and when I hover over a word for Javadocs). Is there a setting to do this?
In case you didn't figure it out already: When the tool-tip appears, there is a configuration button in the upper right corner of the window. Click it, and you get a slider to set your desired font size.
Late answer but it's might will help. If you choose this selection, you can change font size like Chrome.

The font of my modelsim is too small to see

As you can see, the font of modelsim's text editor is very small. But I can't change the size in Tools->Edit Preferences->Source Window->Fonts.
However, I can make the letters bigger by set the DPI higher(through System Settings->Fonts) or set the resolution of the screen to a appropriate value, such as 1024X720, while 1366x768 is the actual resolution of my screen. These ways are not comfortable, because everything else look strange.My OS is Fedora 22, and the version of my Modelsim is 10.3d.
I want to get a more comfortable way to the font-size problem of Modelsim, I'll appreciate it!
I ran into this too in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with modelsim 10.5 ASE. I fixed it as follows:
Open ~/.modelsim (use "nano ~/.modelsim" in terminal)
Find: PrefDefault = ... textFontV2 {Verdana 12} (the name of the font may differ)
Change 12 to -12, so it will looks like this: textFontV2 {Verdana -12}
Save ~/.modelsim (Ctrl+O and then Enter)
Reopen modelsim
I ran into this too in Xubuntu, just use Ctrl++ or Ctrl+- to enlarge or shrink the text dynamically.
Tools->Edit preferences->source windows-> textFont
I am using CentOS Linux, Questa Sim-64 10.1a and had the same problem. I fixed it as follows :
Select "Tools" option from the toolbar at the top.
From the drop down menu select "Edit Preferences ..."
On the lower left pane, there are various Font types like fixedFont, footerFont, textFont etc. To change the size of textFont, select it and you get the choice of font type and size.
Choose what you are most comfortable with.
menuFont is used for command prompt and treeFont is used to display the folder structure.
On Xubuntu/XFCE4: Going to SettingsāŸ¶AppereanceāŸ¶Fonts and disabling the "Custom DPI setting" checkbox solved the problem for me.
The strange thing is that xdpyinfo says the screen resolution is 96x96 dpi regardless of the checkbox. Leaving the checkbox on and setting something like 200 dpi scales the Modelsim editor font, but also all other fonts on the screen, so that doesn't help. I didn't dig any further towards the root cause.
