Make eclipse console buttons permanent? - linux

I just migrated from a Windows machine to a Linux machine and I use Eclipse. In eclipse, on the windows machine, I used to have multiple buttons in the top right of the console view for starting, stopping, etc. In the Linux version of Eclipse I only have these buttons when I hover over maximize in the console view, and then they snap back after a brief period. Is there a way to make these buttons permanent in the console view on Eclipse for Linux?

Eclipse Console

It looks like this was an issue with the theme I was using (Moonrise UI). I switch the eclipse theme to either Moonrise (Standalone) or to Dark from Moonrise and my issue was fixed!

Is there an quivelant to a Tab Control in Linux Monodevelop?

Easy question: I'm new to Linux Desktop Application Development coming from a Microsoft Windows and Visual Studio Desktop Application Development background and am trying to make a basic GUI application in Monodevelop C# that has what's called a Tab Control in Visual Studio. I can't for the life of me though find an equivalent control in Monodevelop under either Containers or Widgets in the Toolbox and Google has been no help. Am I missing something obvious or is a Tab Control an outdated object, design wise, and has been replaced with something else? Thanks in advance!

Hololens emulator mouse input not captured

In Hololens Emulator with Windows 10 Pro, I can only use keyboard strokes and my mouse is not recognized. How can I turn on mouse input? I did nothing to connect my keyboard, so why is it with a mouse that I have to change something?
One problem that may solve it: make sure when using the emulator that in Package.appxmanifest in Visual Studio the MaxVersionTested line is the correct version. I was looking at an older version which everyone says to use: 10.0.10586.0 which was incorrect. When choosing the device for debugging, the version will be in the name. Currently, the most updated version (that I am using) is 10.0.14342.1018. After that, start debugging and run the emulator and you should have keyboard and mouse input!
I had the same problem, but I'm not sure how I solved it. Here is what I have done:
Installed Update 3 for VS 2015. Tried again without restarting the PC and got the same problem. On the next day I started the HoloLens Emulator directly via Hyper-V Manager. After that I started my project in Visual Studio. The Emulator loaded correctly and now the Human Input and Keyboard and Mouse Input buttons are enabled.
Update: That was definitely not the answer, but I found a working solution here:

Just put off your proxy in IE and the icons will be enabled. I could turn my proxy on again and the controls remained active.

How do I stop app in Android Studio

I must be missing something totally obvious, but I can't find a simple way to simply stop an app from running. I'm running it on my HTC One.
I first tried toggling the green run arrow. Didn't work.
I found a "Terminate Application" circle in the lower left of the window. That doesn't seem to do anything when you click it. It seems to be grayed out, non-functional. Screen shot here
http://www.screencast.com/t/VLTOzPQ7
So, I closed the entire project. That worked, but also the entire Android Studio closed instantly. Then reopening Android Studio failed (stack dump). Then reopening again worked, but it took 30 minutes to load my project.
To stop the next time, I turned my phone off, then closed the project. That seems to have worked better, since it took me to the Welcome to Android Studio screen and invited me to open or start a project.
Maybe there's an easier way to stop an app? I see the same question on this forum but no solutions.
The Android Studio controls you are trying to use only work if you are running your app in the emulator. There are a few ways to do this when you are using an actual device or VM (e.g., Genymotion):
Use the UI of the phone to Force Stop the application. This is done in the Settings->Apps menu.
Use Android Studio's terminal window or the host's shell and issue the command:
adb shell am force-stop <package-name>
Open Android Device Monitor (green "Droid" icon), select the process under the Devices tab and click the Stop Process button (stop sign icon). This is basically the GUI way of doing #2.
You need to select the process you want to terminate (ex. com.myname.myapp) then click terminate application.
Since the application is running on your phone, you need to end the application process on the phone. When you do that the application would be shown as terminated on Android Studio.

Why are the Eclipse colors so messed up with XFCE?

I recently changed my Linux desktop from KDE to XFCE4. Now Eclipse looks terrible. I have deleted all the .gtkrc* files from my home directory and have been trying all kinds of settings in the XFCE Settings Manager itself. I've tried different XFCE themes as well as different Eclipse themes. I've also tried changing Eclipse's Window > Preferences > Appearance > Theme > Gtk|Classic|Default to no avail. Anyone know how to make these colors sane?
The cause of this problem can be some of .gtkrc-* files or settings in the shortcut command. So, try to launch eclipse from the eclipse folder.
If after that you will be have this problem again, try to install Jeeeyul's Eclipse Themes and after that you have to go to Window->Preferences-General->Appearance->Jeeeyul's Themes and customise eclipse UI.
If you don't like this theme, try click to and choose something like Setting gtkrc, and confirm rewrite it file and in the Window->Preferences-General->Appearance choose theme GTK.
If it didn't help you, try to lauch eclipse with command
env GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/%you_theme_name%/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:/home/%user%/.gtkrc-eclipse '/path_to_eclipse/eclipse'

How do you save multiple tool window layouts in Android Studio?

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.
