Unable to use Idea - it's blanked - linux

I have installed Jetbrains Idea 10.5.2 to use it's great capabilities for scala programming, but I'm getting stuck with it -- it is covered with small black squares instead of characters in all menus and messages:
I've googled it a lot but unfortunately couldn't find anything. Does anybody know what to do?

May be you can try to change font for IDEA.
For you it could be probably hard - but you can try. Open global setting with Ctrl+Alt+S.
And then try to blindly find font option like on this screenshot:

styling TextInputLayout / TextInputEditText

I wanted to use the TextInputLayout/TextInputEditText in my app and was looking for ways to style this. Now there are lost of paged when you start googling on it but it also seems some thinks have changed in the current android version.
Do not misunderstand the pages where very usefull but did not supply a complete answer.
For that reason i am posting my end result here so others may benefit.
Before i explain in the answer below i want to thank Dmytro on his blog here as it was the most usefull.
The answer.
I made my example very colorfull to make it easier to understand.
To get to this result i used the following in my layout. sorry that it is not code but a picture but i did this so you can see the actual color and not just my name for it
Not a color thing, but as you can see i set the app:errorEnabled to true. this is done so the space needed for the error is already reserved which means your layout wil not rescale when there is an error.
the last thing you need it the border_color.xml:
Play around with the option to see what they do.
The only thing i did not manage to do in the layout is to change the color of the selectionHandles. I did find a code solution for it but...i'll keep looking.

Awesome WM help popup messed up (possible soluction with new function)

NOTE: I just started to use awesome not very long ago, and don't really know the lua programming language.
I cloned HikariKnight's awesome theme and started to customize the hotkeys. I have a logitech keyboard that has some launcher keys that will open you default apps (on windows that is). I wanted to make them open the default apps here, so I edited the config. Now the help menu has the name of some of the keys repeated over and over for no apparent reason.
If anyone could help me fix this that would be awesome.
Possible Solution(?)
I might be able to use the new function to use the hide_without_description option. This wouldn't be ideal though as it would just remove the hotkey from the help menu.
I found the documentation for it here, but don't know how to use the new function.

To quote PlatformKnuckles:
I think I see the problem. Check the line in the keybindings file:
for i = 1, 9 do
You're starting the keybindings in a loop multiple times.
(I didn't look at your rc.lua at all. I just assume the answer above is correct.)

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.

White-out highlight on VS Help Pop-up?

I've downloaded several VS themes from https://studiostyl.es/ and all of them are giving me a white highlight on these helper pop-ups. How do I get rid of that? I'm currently using Son of Obsidian, but this has also happened on Selenitic and Ragnarok. And please tell me what those pop-ups are called so I don't sound like such a novice in the future.
Note: In the past I screwed around with customizing the default Dark theme because I did not like the color of highlighting when doing a Find All References. Problem is I do not recall exactly what I changed; however I would not expect that to affect these.
EDIT:
I may have found it, but I cannot edit the background.
EDIT 2: I found settings to change and a result I'm okay with.

Dreamweaver CC Color Coding Is Not Working

I just got Dreamweaver CC and the color coding is not working what-so-ever. I've already done the following:
I tried to put checkmark by "Syntax Coloring"under the View menu, but it will not let me check it. It's not grayed out; it just won't let me check it.
I downloaded a new Color xml file,and placed it in the Configurations folder.
I tried changing the colors around in a file in the Preference menu, but it won't apply the colors.
I deleted the Configurations folder so it will reset to default, but nothing.
You guys are my last resort. If I can't get it to work I will have to re-install the entire program. Any suggestions?
Honestly, your best bet after going through all of those steps would be to, unfortunately, utilize your final option of re-installing Dreamweaver CC. Sorry if this isn't the answer you were expecting but that's what I would do at this point. Good luck!
I figured it out; and, I'm posting the solution to my own problem so readers won't endure as much suffering as I did trying to find the solution to this problem. This little bitty tinny issue made my life miserable for several days. Anyway, look below for the answer:
I had my HP Envy laptop running Win 8.1 color displayed set to high contrast. Big mistake! I changed it back to display colors and my problem was solved.
