How to change the cursor color in Eric IDE? (eric6) - ide

Like the title states, is there any way to change the cursor color in Eric6 IDE?
I am working on a black background and with black cursor it's just pain.
I tried and couldn't find anything under:
Settings-->Styles OR Settings-->Syntax Styles.
I am on eric6 v 21.1 (Debian 11 default package of Debian apt sources)
I don't found any config file either, where I can change it directly, like e.g. in Geany, which is of course only a text editor with IDE functions.
Does somebody know how to change the cursor color in Eric IDE?

Text Colors in VSC Editor and Terminal - Atom One Theme

Why does VSC (Intellisense?) not recognize certain functions/variables in the Python environment? (see the underlined text in the attached photo). It's working fine for C (using C/C++ extension), otherwise. I am using the Atom One theme and for the C environment every word/command seems to have some color. I tried reinstalling the extensions and going through the settings the best I could, but I can't figure it out.
As a side question, why do I get colored paths in Terminal on my Windows machine (see bottom part of the attached picture), but not on my Mac? Is there some default setting for this that's activated only on Windows? I am a fan of it and I'd like to get my Mac showing some colors too.

Regarding the terminal text colors, I found the solution here: Color theme for VS Code integrated terminal.

UI Text not rendering properly with Intellij IDEA and MacType

I wanted to make Intellij IDEA on windows look like the one on OS X Because in
my opinion it looks much better, so I installed MacType, I was able to get the
editor font render correctly, but when I change the UI font to match OS X's UI
font, The text gets cut off in some places. The font I am trying to use is
Lucida Grande size 15. You can see it for yourself in the picture
below:

But if I remove disable MacType rendering, everything works fine, but it looks bad.
Intellij UI Text without MacType rendering: https://i.stack.imgur.com/AJEUl.png
I've tried changing MacType's settings, but nothing works!
I am on Windows 10 Creators Update with Intellij IDEA 2017.2
Any help would be appreciated.
I found the answer myself! Apparently if you open the mactype profile you are using with notepad, and paste the following text at the end of the file:
[Experimental#idea64.exe]
ClipBoxFix=1
Then all the fonts will render correctly. Note, this does not only work for Intellij IDEA, but also all other java applications and a few others. To achieve this, all you have to do is replace "idea64.exe" with the name of the app executable. An example is for the 32-bit version of Intellij, you would replace "idea64.exe" with "idea.exe".

IntelliJ IDEA - Choosing specific font width within family

I'm on OS X El Capitan running IntelliJ IDEA 15.0.3.
I've been trying to change the font in my IntelliJ IDEA editor, but when I go to select which font to select, the dropdown list only gives me a list of font families, and doesn't allow me to choose individual weights, as I wanted to use the Book font, while IntelliJ uses the Medium font by default. Is there any way to prioritize which weight I want to use?
I found an indirect way by disabling the Medium font file through Font Book, but that kind of bothers me because that disables it for all programs rather than simply IntelliJ.
Thanks in advance.
This should be possible now. I just checked by going to Settings > Editor > Font and different font weights show up correctly in the dropdown:
If you still have this problem, you should file an issue with JetBrains.

How to change the font size of contents in netbeans navigator window

I want to change the font size of netbeans navigator window. I can change the font of editor window using Tools\Options\Fonts & Colors. But it is reflected only in the editor and not in other windows like Projects, Navigator, Output, Debug.
How to change this font this everywhere in Netbeans 7.0
There is another method you can use for this.
Create a shortcut for the ide on the desktop.
Open the properties pane and in the target option where it is mentioned:
"C:\Program Files\NetBeans-11.3\netbeans\bin\netbeans64.exe" just add --fontsize 18 to the end.
So, it is going to look like this:
"C:\Program Files\NetBeans-11.3\netbeans\bin\netbeans64.exe" --fontsize 18
Apply the changes and restart the IDE. The new font size will be applied.
This goes for all kinds of Netbeans IDE no matter what the Version
You should find your answer here.
you might also want to change your font size for other parts of the IDE (other than the code).
Just add the parameter --fontsize (default size is 11) to the startup command.
You can put it into the command line when launching IDE. You can also put it into the netbeans.conf file, which is in the /etc subdirectory of NetBeans installation.
Just place it as a last parameter into the netbeans_default_options parameter.
Output and Debug font size you will find from Tools > Options > Miscellaneous
from the list select Output and change the font Size. Do the same thing for Terminal to solve the problem for Debugging.
Hope it helps you.

What is the name of this NetBeans Theme property?

I am customizing a NetBeans themes to find set up the right colour balance for my eyes.
I would like to change the colour of the default PHP functions in the suggestion (auto-complete box) to something different as I find the dark blue is hard to read.
I haven't had much like finding the name of the property to do so.
To explain further. I know where to change the colours. I just can't find this particular one.
Tools > Options > Fonts & Colours.
I am using 7.4 nightly build version (2013-06-19_17-09-51/ that I got here: http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/)
I have changed my look & feel and using Dark Metal theme for the Tool itself.
(Tools > Options > Misc. > Windows (tab)
If I find the answer myself, I'll post it here.
Thanks!
edit:
It seems like it's not actually the Fonts&Colour theme that sets the colour.
Changing the theme from my custom one to e.g. Desert theme doesnt change the colour of the auto-completion box. So I was looking at the wrong place... nevertheless, I would still like to change the default colour of the text depicted below.
If anyone knows how, please share! :)
It turns out that this is a bug.
I asked about the same issue on the NetBeans forum and got a reply.
