AUTOCAD: TEXT becomes very small and vertical when placed in title block in layout screen - text

I am using AUTOCAD 2014, and trying to set up a simple title block (name and date of drawing etc.). The problem is that when I input the text using MTEXT or DTEXT and press escape to end that command the text then becomes very small and barely noticeable in the title block (figure (A) and (B) below). It is also aligned in the vertical plane. Does anyone know a way round this? The Autodesk forum (AUGI) in Nov. 2013, at : TEXT SUDDENLY DISAPPEARS?, also describes this problem but I didn't find it helpful enough to solve it.
Thanks,
Brendan

I don't believe this question belongs in Stack overflow but rather Super User, additionally the reference you provided directs to Revit Architecture forum not AutoCAD 2014.
With that aside, check your WYSIWYG settings during the text editor. You can toggle that, while in the editor, by bringing up the context menu > Editor Settings > Always Display in WYSIWYG. I suspect that your text style is currently configured at a small size and with vertical effect. Check your current STYLE.

The problem was solved by:
using 'context menu' (right click mouse) in the text mode i.e. in DTEXT
follow 'editor settings' to display 'Always Display in WYSIWYG'
In the 'home' tab select 'Annotation' and under 'text style' select 'manage text styles'
Change the 'height' from say 0.13 to 3.0
Then under 'Annotation' again and in 'dimension style' select 'standard' which deselects 'ISO - 25'
This gives a reasonably sized text that is horizontal as opposed to vertical.

Resizing the actual Tabs in a (Godot) TabContainer, is it possible?

Given some Tabs in a Godot TabContainer, I'd like to resize the actual Tab-elements (not the container they're a part of.
Given that so many things are customizable, it seems like these would be too, but so far I haven't found how. The question How to resize a Tab, sounded promising, but the "Custom Style" that it referred to, doesn't seem to exist - or at least didn't appear in a help-search.
Update: The given answer got me closer. There's a lot of variables, it's definitely not production-ready, but it does at least, appear possible to modify the size of Tabs. And just realized that one of the variables is Content-Margin, I had edited just Margin, to create this picture.
You have to learn about themes in Godot to resize your elements.
In the editor select the TabContainer, in the Inspector search the Theme property, and in the Theme variable below you can load a theme or create a new one for your project.
If you create a new theme there will be a file with a extension ".tres". Double click on that file to edit the aspect of different elements for your project.
I will try to add more detail. If you edit your theme file ( .tres), with the Type: TabContainer, you can override the multiple StyleBox of the Tab. I tried with the tab_fg, click on the plus sign, later in [Empty], New StyleBoxFlat, click on the new StyleBox Flat created in the field, and edit it in the Inspector. Edit the Expand Margin values, and also the Content Margin values.
You can also increase the font size, overriding the font with a New Dynamic Font, selecting it and editting it in the Inspector, in settings-> Size.
You can find further info in the UI tutorials section on GUI skinning

Settings type «invisibles» and «shadow» in Sublime Text 3 .tmTheme file

I have read the documentation for the Color Schemes. I realized all settings except invisibles and shadow (+shadowWidth). I can translate from English, but I do not see anywhere where the elements, the color of which changes settings. Does anyone could show me the screenshots, where there are elements which change color? Thanks.
From the unofficial documentation on color schemes, linked to in your question, we can see that invisibles is ignored, so changing it has no effect on the appearance of any elements in ST3. The tmTheme format is borrowed from a different text editor, to make it easier to use the same color scheme in different editors. So maybe it does something in other text editors, but not in ST. EDIT: support for invisibles has been added to ST in build 3149 - https://github.com/SublimeTextIssues/Core/issues/1992.
The effect of the shadow setting can be seen below, it is the pink parts on the far sides:
It is only visible when the text in the document is wider than the window - it will appear on the left when the view can be scrolled to the left and it will appear on the right when the view can be scrolled to the right.
From my testing, including shadowWidth in the tmTheme file will cause the shadow to not appear. I have logged an issue in the unofficial documentation here, maybe someone will update it with details of how to get this working.
Note:
When making changes to atmTheme file, it is often necessary to close all open documents, and restart Sublime Text, before the change will become visible.

Can I use an image instead of a title in an Apple Watch app?

How can I put an icon in the top left label and make fullscreen? Apple allocates some space on top for the digital clock and back label. I would like to customize it, but I can't find anything in the SDK to enable this.
The top strip of the Watch screen is reserved for displaying the page title, or occasionally links such as "Cancel" by default for modal views, and the clock. It is not possible to hide this.
It is possible to set an empty title for a page. Some settings will alsoplace a background image behind this text (if you set the mode to 'Aspect Fill', at least in the current Xcode 6.2 beta 3). However, the portion of the image at the top of the screen is simply occluded by a black strip, so this does not achieve what you want.
Additionally, Apple have specifically recommended against displaying logos on the Apple Watch screen, with the rationale that the screen is too small to display for the user anything but actual content.
To set the Global tint:
Select the Interface Controller itself in Interface Builder by clicking on the Yellow circle at the top of the view of the screen.
Press Cmd-Opt-1 to display the File Inspector section of the Utilites on the right hand side.
Set the 'Global Tint' option in the section 'Interface Builder Document', as per the screenshot.
Not possible in the first cut but I think it will come later.
It's not actually a back label. The text in the top left of the Watch screen is the title of the current WKInterfaceController. You can change it by using -[WKInterfaceTitle setTitle:], but you are limited to content that is expressible in an NSString (so no UIImages).
It is possible to customise the status bar in watchOS 4.
Select your interface controller in the storyboard
Open the attributes inspector
Check the Full Screen checkbox
After doing this you can add your custom image to the left of the statusbar.

At the top of this site: [removed] – the slightly off-white color – how do I figure out the RGB values for that color?
Or other values that I can apply to an image in Photoshop...?
The banner that's set into that area – with the photo and my name by the photo – that's a .gif and I've got the color just slightly different – I want to make the color exactly the same, so it merges into its background…
ColorZilla is a good Firefox extension that gives you an eyedropper within the browser.
Another way would be to inspect the element using Chrome developer tools, Firebug in Firefox, etc. In Chrome you do this by right-clicking on the area and clicking Inspect Element. This will give you a view similar to this, which hopefully shows you the colour value:
The color is #f8f8f8 which is 248, 248, 248 in RGB according to http://www.javascripter.net/faq/hextorgb.htm.
If you want to figure out yourself you just have to inspect the source of the page.
If you're on Chrome just do a right click on the element and then select Inspect element from the menu.
Copying a screenshot into Photoshop: it's #f8f8f9.
You may find it easier to use a plugin like ColorPicker if you want to do this often.
Easy solution:
Make a printscreen and use Photoshop, Paint.NET or any other image editor with a color picker.
Use the color picker to select that off-white color and check the color-window for the RGB values
You can install color picker to your browser.
Firefox
Chrome
You can take a screenshot and use image editor to check you the color value.
Microsoft paint
Pick the color in eyedroper
click on it, you will see the values in standart windows color picker
Irfan View
Just hover the pixel
GIMP
Use the color picker again

How to change line numbers background in Dreamweaver CS5?

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.
