I am new to Adobe illustrator and i don't really know how to search for my errors.
At the right of my screen i have some 'toolbars' (like pathfinder, swatches, ..) you can enable them by clicking on the 'window' option at the top and then selecting them. So i was arranging them at the right of my screen, when all of the sudden (i must have done something wrong) the pathfinder, swatches, color toolbars are sticking together and i can't 'unstick' them.
Also when i deselect one of them under the 'window' option all of them disappear.
They also don't expand the the bottom of the screen inside a container like element.
click, hold and drag the pathfinder or the menu of your choice to unstick them

I've searched all the settings and Google but can find nothing. It seems such an obvious feature. If I use the arrow keys to scroll vertically through the code, I quickly end up with the cursor at the top or bottom of the screen whereas I really want to be doing my editing near the centre of the screen, which means I have to do two operations: scroll the code to where I want it and then move the cursor.
What I want is to hit a shortcut (e.g. the Scroll Lock key) and then when I press up- or down-arrow the cursor stays where it is (relative to the screen) and the code scrolls past it.
I've read that some tools allow you to set the number of "always visible" lines above and below the cursor which would do the job, but I can't find that in Rider either.
Am I missing something obvious, or is there an add-in or something I can customize to get what I want?
Found it! There are Move Up and Scroll and Move Down and Scroll actions in the keymap settings. Assign hotkeys to them (weren't assigned in my config) and it will work like you described it.
Scenario
I have 3 panels which are to be shown depending upon the choice from combobox.
Each panel is designed in exact location, and all three are exactly overlapping each other and even may be partially. But their Top and Left properties are same.
Problem
As soon as I drag to position the panel, it becomes child of one of other two.
I have checked it through .parent.name
If I hide one panel say pnlRSB1 then the child of it the pnlRSB2 also vanishes.
Though I have solved the problem using recursive loop, but I want to know the other available options.
Is there a way that I may tell IDE, "hey don't make it child of underlying panel, its independent"?
B.T.W if someone wants the loop thing solution, I will provide that as well, but I hate recursion though I am living with it right now.
The solution is to not drag them. Just add all three Panels to the form somewhere. Drag one of them so that it's Location and Size are what you want and then set the other two to have he same values via the Properties window.
By the way, one Panel will only become a child of another if you drop it within the other's bounds. The parent will be whatever control is under the mouse pointer when you drop.
Also note that you can still easily access each Panel in the designer, even if they are in the same Location and have the same Size. You just have to change the z-order so that the one you want to access is at the front. There are a number of ways to do that.
Right-click on the Panel you can see and select Send to Back. Repeat until the Panel you want to access is in front.
Open the Properties window and select the Panel you want to access in the drop-down list at the top. This will draw a selection rectangle around the Panel even if the Panel itself is obscured. Right-click the selection rectangle and select Bring to Front.
Open the Document Outline window and either drag the Panel you want to access up above the others in the tree or select it and use the tool bar to move it up. The order of the child controls in the tree matches the z-order.
I'd like to increase the size of the bar on the right side of the Editor in IntelliJ IDEA. It's simply way too small for my taste.
It is the bar where the warnings or usages are displayed.
P. S.: The bar is called Error Stripe.
I agree, the scrollbar is far to small, and hard to see.
Another option you could try is installing the "CodeGlance" plugin which adds a full view of the code and makes scrolling far more intuituve.
Grab it from (as of 15-04-27) https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7275?pr=clion
Press Ctrl + Alt + Shift + / and select Registry... from the menu that appears.
Look for editor.full.width.scrollbar and tick the box on the right. The change should take effect after clicking the close button. The width of the scroll bar should be marginally wider, it's not a lot but every little bit helps :-)
Unfortunately this setting only affects the scroll bar on the right of the editor window. All the other scroll bars are unaffected.
For those that find transparency effects annoying then look for editor.transparent.scrollbar and untick the box on the right. This change should take effect after clicking the close button and restarting IntelliJ.
It seems like it – or the scrollbar as a whole – can't be resized.
You could scroll to the bottom of the bars properties in the GUI section and change the width to example (100dp). Or you could play around with the XML file that contains the width and height property.
I just have it in my mind. And I can't explain it so here it goes.
A system that only uses 1 form?
It have a two panel, left and right.
The left is consist of buttons
Then the right is associated on the buttons and will change whether what button will be clicked.
Any ideas?
My preference is to do this via custom controls, rather than panels... but panels can work too.
There are a number of ways to do this:
Keep all of the controls layered on top of each other, and then set the Visible property to false for controls/panels you don't care about and to true for the Control/Panel that you do
Move the controls you don't care about out of the visible area
Remove/Add the Controls/Panels from Form's controls collection entirely
I think you can also get a TabControl to put the tabs along the left side, with some formatting that looks more like buttons, such that what you want will be handled without needing to write any code to switch layouts
Any of those can work. Whichever option you use, I have two recommendation for controlling layout and making the transitions smooth.
Call SuspendLayout() before making any changes, and then call ResumeLayout() when you're done. This will help avoid stuttering or a partially rendered form.
Look at the TableLayoutPanel Control. This control will allow you to arrange your top-level panels so that they can be resized with proportion. If you also then dock your individual panels, you can quickly build your program so that it resizes correctly.
You can have several panels, one on top of another. Change their visibility, depending on which one you need at a given moment.
Option #2 would be using a vertical tab control (or a tab strip - see another answer there).
Problem solved!:
Just check the "Unified Title And Toolbar" option of the NSWindow and the 1pixel-down problem goes away!
To change the toolbar height just select the Toolbar Item - Custom View and change size in the Size inspector.
==============================
If you know Xcode 5s layout than you should recognise this:
I want to build it for my own. So I dragged a Toolbar in the Window and added a NSPopUpButton. Then I changed the PopUp Button Cell Style to Radio and turned off the Arrows. So far so good.
The first thing I noticed is that the Toolbars has different heights. Does anybody know how to change this behaviour (without subclassing NSToolbar)?
The second and more annoying thing I noticed is that if I choose an Item from the PopUp Button the Image for the NSMenuItem move 1 pixel down.
EDIT: Xcode NSMenuItems don't move 1pixel down
Any suggestions about that thing?
NSToolbar, sadly, can’t really be subclassed. It’s a poorly-written class that tries to be very “magic,” so it’s not even a subclass of NSView—you can’t control how it draws at all, it creates a private view.
You can set its “sizeMode” but I assume you’ve already done that and found that the number of pixels high isn’t what you want.
The easiest thing to do is just leave space for your widgets at the top of your window (above the document content) and have autolayout position your buttons for you. (I haven’t been able to use a real NSToolbar in years because of its limitations.)
As for the popUp menu being mis-aligned with the button: where the menu draws is basically hard-coded, so if you use a button style that NSPopUpButton doesn't expect then the menu will be offset some.
If you’ve already tried just unchecking the “draws border” flag on a default-style NSPopUpButton (one fresh off the palette), There are two solutions for to try: One is to keep trying different buttonStyles that look correct to your eye until you find one that’s not offset. Two is to leave the buttonStyle do the default for NSPopUpButtons but subclass the buttonCell and have it not draw the border (but still leave room for it).
