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.
And here, for more detailed info: https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/theme-color
As far as variable colors changes for Python, this was useful: Make VSCode Variables have Colour

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:
Intellij UI Text getting cut: https://i.stack.imgur.com/4jnda.png
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".

I've been trying to find if there is a way to make the PowerShell integrated console commands code the same color as the color theme in VS Code.
So far everything I've found has only been about the theme colors for code inside files but nothing about changing the integrated console code colors. I'm not even sure if this is possible inside the integrated PowerShell console.
I would have expected that you could change the colours using the Set-PSReadLineOption command as you can in the terminal but whilst Get-ReadLineOption returns results Set-PsReadLineOption does not change the colours so I expect that it is not possible
Also you won't be able to match the formatting exactly anyway as the colours available in Set-PsReadlineOption and the options are not compatible
Shown in the image below, the git prompt has overlapping glyphs.
I installed this theme by following the instructions listed Here. What doesn't make sense is that all prompts other than the git prompt look completely fine. So I guess the question is why would the git extension only be affected by this glyph misalignment?
I've been trying to do my best to research into any similar issues but could not find any thing outside of questions such as this.
The environment that I am using consists of the following
Kubuntu 15.04
Konsole
Tmux
zsh
xterm-256color
oh-my-zsh
powerline status bar
powerlevel9k theme
Font : ubuntu mono derivative powerline
My .zshrc contains these two lines to engage the powerlevel9k theme
ZSH_THEME="powerlevel9k/powerlevel9k"
POWERLEVEL9K_MODE="awesome-fontconfig"
Any insights on tweaking these glyphs will be incredibly helpful. So thanks in advance!
powerlevel9k uses in "awesome-*" mode the awesome-terminal-fonts. Some of the glyphs in there are double-width, which is why we added some extra whitespace to these icons (see here). Most of us use the "awesome-patched" mode, which requires pre-patched fonts, but is easier to install.
A quick shot would be to add some more whitespace. Could you try that, and if that works add a pull request? That would be nice.
Another guess in the wild is: what locale do you use? We had some strange issues with LANG=C. If that is the case on your machine, try setting it to a proper UTF8 one.
I used to use IntelliJ 14 with the -Dhidpi=true flag in the vmoptions file and didn't have any problems with the scaling. I've just upgraded to 15 and it features "True HiDPI" but it doesn't seem to work on my Surface Pro 3. I chose to import my options from my previous build but I've checked the new vmoptions file and that flag wasn't copied over. The JetBrains site mentions that the flag isn't required anymore anyway. I've looked through the settings dialogs and the only relevant option seems to be the anti-aliasing settings which are defaulted to subpixel (sounds fine to me). Anyone have an idea how to get back to the 14-era scaling? Thanks.
Try changing "Override the default fonts by..." setting in Appearance & Behavior => Appearance tab. It scaled the menu and icons accordingly for me.
Actually, in addition to the setting in
Appearance & Behavior > Appearance
tab, the following font settings have to be changed, too:
Editor > Colors & Fonts > Font
Editor > Colors & Fonts > Console Font (Button Apply editor font setting)
I haven't found a clear and official recipe to get IntelliJ running correctly on a High DPI screen yet (and have also had a support request running a while ago on which I was repeatedly asked to provide new screen shots using new EAP releases), but I think this is the closest you can get with the IntelliJ 15.
Update 2017-20-17:
It looks like JetBrains has noticed that some people have problems with high-DPI screens. There is a new article (with discussion) that suggests some remedies (I haven't tested them yet, as my current setup is more or less usable):

I've just upgraded IntelliJ IDEA (ultimate) to Version 14.1 and the font used in the Project View, Menus and Dialogs seems not to be rendering correctly. I exported the same settings from my 14.0.3 version just in case, although they seem identical, but it still remained the same. I didn't do any changes to the JDK or anything, and if I run the old version the font changes back to the nice and crisp one. I am using Ubuntu 14.04. This problem does not happen on Windows 7.
Under IntelliJ IDEA 14.0.3:
Under IntelliJ IDEA 14.1:
In the new one the font seems to be a bit larger (even though in both cases I they are set to Font Size 22, and I imported the settings from the previous IntelliJ IDEA installation). Notice how for example the 'g' is cut off underneath. There are also other problems where the text is misaligned on the buttons, or not fully visible in dialog boxes.
Usually this doesn't happen when I upgrade. Is there some way to make the font look like before? Did something changed in this latest version and I need to do some JVM switch in the startup script or something?
Update: 5/11/2015
Just updated to IntelliJ 15, and the problem is still there.
Attached new screenshot. Notice how the text is cut out at the bottom where there are letters like p and y, and the button text is offset.
Seconding an earlier response to this question, I have also have had great luck fixing font rendering issues on IntelliJ using tuxjdk. Tuxjdk is a JDK for the IDE, while any applications you're coding on runs in their own project configured JDK such as Oracle or OpenJDK. Here are the instructions:
The following fetches, unpacks, and moves the version you need to /usr/lib, then cleans up the archive. Modify /usr/lib to wherever you like to keep your JDKs.
wget http://urshulyak.com:85/jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08.tar.gz
tar -zxvf jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08.tar.gz
sudo mv jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08 /usr/lib
rm jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08.tar.gz
Open up idea.sh in your IntelliJ application folder /idea-IU-141.*/bin. Change the following line at the bottom of the script from
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$IDE_BIN_HOME:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" "$JDK/bin/java" \
to
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$IDE_BIN_HOME:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" "/usr/lib/jdk-8u5-tuxjdk-b08/bin/java" \
That's it. This made huge font improvements for me in Ubuntu 14.04.
UPDATE (by OP)
This solution is the best so far (until JetBrains decide to fix it properly).
I would just add the line: IDEA_JDK="/usr/lib/jdk-8u25-tuxjdk/" to the top of idea.sh, which the script checks before resorting to JDK_HOME etc. (so is probably the recommended way) rather than messing with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
In my case I got nicely rendered but huge fonts with this solution. In order to fix it I had to do an extra fix from Appearance & Behaviour -> Appearance
I chose the 'not recommended' option to Override default fonts by Arial size 12. This was the best effect I got so far.
I am using OSX. It may not help.
Double tap shift and search for 'Switch IDE boot JDK'. Try different JDKs if there are.
This might not be the answer you are looking for - but ever since I've started using tuxjdk, I haven't had problems any more with font rendering & intellij on ubuntu. Maybe give it a try?
If you're willing to use the IntelliJ 15 EAP, there is an option for antialiasing (default is checked for me) that appears to match how it was rendered in 14. The option is under Appearance & Behavior -> Appearance:
I have tried all of the command-line arguments to try to get this behavior in 14.1, but was unsuccessful.
