There are some white background around the icon. I would like to remove this white background and make it transparent. How can this be done with a free software tool?

How do I remove the default white Splash Screen in Flutter. I do not want a Splash Screen at all

There are many similar questions on this site. But they do not answer what I want to accomplish. I do not even want a custom Splash Screen. I want to remove the Splash Screen completely or make it as short as possible.
There is no way to remove the splashcreen as of now. All you can do is keep a solid color splashscreen.

Pure black background in PyCharm CE and Android Studio

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.)

Full screen responsive horizontal website

I am trying to find the best method in order to create a horizontal website, full screen and if possible responsive, minimum width to be for tablets. The thing is that I need also the horizontal scrolling with the mousewheel, and I saw that fullPage.js doesn't support that or at least i couldn't manage to make it work on this plugin.
Anyway, I need an idea on building the template, with full screen sections displayed inline - I will be very grateful for any tip. Thanks.
Making horizontally responsive is bit tricky and requires a lot of effort.. There can be many many design approaches for making it responsive. It can't just be described with JSFiddle snippets..

Good thumb up/down icons

I can't find any free thumb icons for voting like the ones here http://www.99points.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/youtube.jpg. Everything I find is too colored or detailed. Does anyone know a good website where I would find such icons or an icon set?
Chances are www.99points.info bought or found the icons as well. Very unlikely they developed an in house proprietary set. You might consider contacting them to find out where to get similar icons.
why don't you just make a screenshot copy/paste and save as png?
UPDATE: you can find a lot of good icons using http://www.iconfinder.com
Here is the original image..
That's the youtube one at least. The one you want.

What kind of support does the iphone/ipod touch have for the canvas tag? Especially in regards to text?

I have seen this question/answer:
How do you draw text on a <canvas> tag in Safari
But I looking for how to do it on an iphone. Does the iphone support it already?
Also, it'd be nice to see a web page that discusses what the current iphone os/browser supports regarding canvas, html 5 and other related web tech.
Apple has an introduction at Safari Reference - Using Canvas and more details in the DOM Reference.
In general, the iphone canvas support is excellent and very useful.
EXCEPT for the missing text rendering, which I have heard will be available in a future OS upgrade.
While waiting, you can use Jim Studt's Canvas Text Function to display simple text on the Canvas.
For an example of how it looks, check out the Night Sky iPhone webapp which draws lines, text and images on the Canvas as well as saving and loading it from localStorage.
