While editing documents in LibreOffice Writer, spell check errors are pointed out using red or blue wavy underline according to the kind of error that has been recognized.
Is there a (simple) mean to customize this visual feedback in order to increase its visibility ?
Depending on the version of LibreOffice being used, the colors used when indicating a spelling or grammatical errors can be changed in the preferences under LibreOffice -> Application Colors.
For spell check the custom color that you would want to alter would be titled AutoSpellcheck.

I'm was going reviewing a few autolisp and dcl tutorials (afralisp & autolisp-exchange) to brush up on the dcl code. To cut to the question, I see that the text can be underlined by the mnemonic in afralisp and the & in autolisp-exchange.
Is there a better way to underline a string of characters?
Can a string be made bold, italicized, or strike-though with this
file type?
If the above is true, is there a reference webpage that has a list of fonts that can be used with the dcl file type?
This webpage may contain the solution, but I haven't seen how: AutoDesk.com
In short, you cannot arbitrarily change the GUI font face or style using standard DCL.
The ability to underline text is purely an exploit of the mnemonic property which allows DCL controls to be manipulated using keys on the keyboard which correspond to the underlined letters as opposed to using the mouse to click such controls.
Whilst DCL text has the is_bold property, this has never worked (and likely never will). One alternative is to feign bold text using the set_tile function in conjunction with an image tile; or you can use the fixed_width_font property, but, as the name implies, this will change the text to use a fixed width font (the exact font cannot be changed).
One other possibility is to display text using the vector_image function applied to an image tile, as I demonstrate in the 'About' dialog for my Incremental Numbering Suite application.
I have troubles finding settings for these two things, as I just want them removed.
I'm using WebStorm 2017.3 EAP, but afaik, this would be the same in the other IntelliJ products.
Both issues are on both themes, however the default theme, be bounding box is not as apparent.
The white bounding box that appears on matching words (around services in the screenshot. I just want it dimmed a bit.
This looks like this is only Material UI, but could be related settings.
Far right green border. It's there in some files not in others, and I can't figure out what it actually represents. Some times it's blue. I just want it removed.
Note: This is not the no the hard wrap guide line, as I removed that already.
I've really tried looking through all settings, but I think I might not be using the correct terminology.
Thank you on beforehand, this is driving me nuts.
Edit: Updated images and with default theme + material theme eap.
Edit: Solved problem number 1. It's `Editor -> Color Scheme -> General -> Code -> Identifier under caret
Unable to read the language. How to set it to english ?
The issue is not with the language, but with some broken font mapping on your system. The workaround is to change IDE font. Press Ctrl+Alt+S to access the Settings dialog, open the second entry from the top and set some font here:
Had same issue with IntelliJ Community Edition, version 2019 2.
Initially the only way I could get the "normal" IntelliJ charset mapping to persist after closing and reopening is go to Settings > Appearance & Behaviours > Appearance and then to UNCHECK Use Custom Font and allow the built-in defaults to be applied.
Later I discovered that I could use all custom fonts except my favorite, Open Sans.
Somehow selecting and applying this font only worked for the remainder of the IntelliJ session. If IntelliJ was closed and reopened, the character mapping was altered in both the Settings page and in the IDE. Each character was represented by the next character alphabetically, e.g. Open Sans ==> Pqdo Tbot
Notice that the first letter of the menus (which has a separate formatting as it's underlined) remains the same while the remainder of the menu title is ampped to the next letter in the alphabet.
The question thus arises: why is Open Sans showing this change of character mapping while other fonts do not ?
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.
I am making some add-in to PowerPoint.
I would like to let user choose color using colordialog (or some other this kind control). But it would be the best if it would look exactly like built-in color dialog/color picker in PowerPoint, and with the same colors in sections Theme Colors, Custom Colors and Standard Colors. Is it achievable? If yes, how can I achieve it?
It really depends on what you need to use the color for. Office has many pre-defined controls that can be easily incorporated into an addin, some of which use the standard Office color picker (which includes the theme colors, custom colors, etc. that you are looking for). You can download a list of all Office controls from the Microsoft website (you will only need to use the PowerPointControls.xlsx file). Any of the controls listed in the file can be added to your addin by specifying the idMso in the ribbon XML (assuming you are creating a ribbon). You will need to look through all of the controls to se if there is one that matches the functionality you are looking for.
Note that most of the controls have some sort of additional functionality attached to them in addition to selecting a color. I have not yet found one that selects and returns a color. Hopefully what ever functionality you are in need of is included in one of the controls. You may be able to get a better answer if you provide more information on your specific application.
