Anyone else with bad font smoothing in Brackets 1.1? - web

So I've got Mactype installed which renders fonts beautifully on my Windows setup, but since I installed the latest version of Brackets v1.1 the font smoothing/anti-aliasing has been terrible.
Here's a comparison between version 1.0 and 1.1 .
v1.0
v1.1
I'm really not sure why it looks like this, I have tried clearing everything related with Brackets in ~\Appdata\Roaming\Brackets\ thinking it might be a conflict with some extensions I had installed but that didn't work, I'm guessing its a bug in the latest release.

Unfortunately I'm answering my own question, after doing a ton of research on the issue, I found out this was similar with font rendering issues I had been having in Chrome with mactype, I posted the issue on brackets' github and luckily someone else had the same bug in v1.2 and was able to get it working by starting a shortcut to Brackets with the switch --disable-direct-write .
Just append the switch to the end of your shortcut's target like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Brackets\Brackets.exe" --disable-direct-write
And make sure you're starting brackets from the shortcut. :)

ColorHighlighter is not taking any effect on SBT3

I go to :
and install :
with these settings :
and have no idea why hex is not my SBT3 still not display as its color form. 😥
I've also tried : CSS
Reboot the IDE & even reboot the Mac OS X ... still not working.
Did I forgot to turn on some settings?
Can someone please help me ?
Edit
ColorHelper works on the first try, right after install. Huge thanks to : #MattDMo
... but I am still curious if someone really knows what I did wrong.
Over the past few years I began having more and more problems with the different color highlighting packages available for Sublime, including Color Highlighter, which hasn't been updated in at least 3 years, and Color Highlight at 2½ years. Someone recommended ColorHelper, and I've been happy with it ever since. Make sure you completely uninstall Color Highlighter and/or Color Highlight first, as I think I had issues with it before I did that. ColorHelper is in regular development with the release of the new v3, which apparently is a complete rewrite, and is easy to set up and use out of the box. There are a ton of customization options if you want to get into the weeds, and the author has been very responsive with some config issues I had recently. I would highly recommend it.

Android Studio very slow lint

I do not remember the exact version, but about from 3.2, the lint processing of Android studio has become dreadful.
ctrl + b won't work for about 5min after putting the code, and red lines which are supposed to indicate unwritten methods or wrong referencing is completely broken.
I never had such issue on the previous versions, and I don't know what to do with this. I looked through stackoverflow with the tag android-studio, but no one seems to have the same issue, or I'm selecting the wrong keyword for this.
But, all three of my colleagues are having the same issue from a certain version of Android studio.
Is this an issue with vmOption? Please help.

Brackets extensions stopped working

I'm using a number of extensions in Brackets like JSHint and Less autocompile, which were stopped working for a while. Not sure why exactly. Tried to reload, reopen w/o extensions, reinstall extensions but nothing seems to resolve the problem.
As an example, a grey circle showing up in the bottom right corner instead of the usual icons of JSHint:
Using Brackets version 1.9 with Less AutoCompile v.1.1.10 and JSHint v2.2.20.
Found the problem. linting.enabled was set to false in brackets.json for some reason.

In jVI for Netbeans, the cursor won't appear

Depending on the font I use, I might see a quarter of a cursor (lower right rectangle not flashing) in the wrong place, or no cursor at all. Still, the line I'm on highlights and the column number is displayed in the lower right.
I've tried a mix of fixed-width fonts at a mix of sizes (11-14), including the default Monospace, MacVim's Menlo, the awful Courier, and another q-a site's suggested Consolas.
Any ideas how to get the cursor to show up would be great. Alternate ways to get Vi keybindings in NetBeans also acceptable, though it seems jVi is the most current / active effort.
NetBeans 7.1.2
EDIT:
Image showing no cursor with highlighting
Image showing actually two partial cursors, which I'd never seen before:
There is a problem with the Mac Retina, which is like this problem. The latest jVi release has a workaround, you need to turn on the option
Tools > Options > jViConfig > Platform > MacRetinaCursorXorBug
I had the same problem in Netbeans 8.0.2. Workaround for this is to disable following option:
Tools->Options->jVi config->platform->use modal frame
I found the solution here which solves other problems with cursor too. I hope this will help you.
Cheers
ubuntu - 14.04
java 1.7.0_121
netbeans - 8.2
jvi - 1.5.4
i had the same issue and 'use model frame' was already enabled. Enabling 'MacRetinaCursorXorBug' fixed the issue. i have set the frequency of the cursor to 500 to be on the safer side.
Enabling the option MacRetinaCursorXorBug under Tools > Options > jViConfig > Platform was the only working solution for me among a bunch of other suggested workarounds. So it's important to mention that this setting could be required even on non Mac Systems.
(Tested on environment: Netbeans IDE 8.0.2, Ubuntu 15.04 with Kernel 3.19.0-16, XFCE-Desktop 4.12, VirtualBox 4.3.28)
Setting the blink rate to 500 as suggested by develucas fixed this for me on Ubuntu and Netbeans 8.1, though it still disappears whilst moving it reappears shortly after it becomes stationary, makes jvi useable again.

eclipse xml error

i am programming in eclipse for the first time and when i create a blackberry project i am getting this error in BlackBerry_App_Descriptor.xml as
Description Resource Path Location Type
InvalidRegex: Pattern value '([a-zA-Z_]{1,63}[\s-a-zA-Z_0-9.]{0,63}[;]?)*' is not a valid regular expression. The reported error was: ''-' is an invalid character range. Write '-'.' at column '19'. BlackBerry_App_Descriptor.xml /sample Unknown XML Problem
please help me out
thanks in advance.
I have had the same problem earlier with my first project on BlackBerry using the Eclipse provided on the site.
Though I took a lot of time to get a workaround for this, the solution is surprisingly simple.
Uninstall the JDK 7.x from your Windows system, adjust your path variables to point to another JDK version, preferably 6. There could be other dependencies in your Eclipse environment which need to be set independently to point to the new JDK (try Windows -> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JREs in your Eclipse and voila!)
see? let us know if you still face the problem..
I'm having the same problem as you are. There is a post regarding this issue at http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Java-Development/InvalidRegex-Pattern-value-a-zA-Z-1-63-a-zA-Z-0-9-0-63-is-not-a/td-p/944343
I haven't been able to solve the problem yet, and I am clueless as to what may be causing it. The answers at the blackberry support forums didn't work for me at all. But do try them out. Best of luck.
The deprecated version of the blackberry development IDE for eclipse (version 1.1 of the pluggin) works fine, but is not available for download anymore.
