I currently try to change the visual style of my pivot control in UWP.
I would like to change the plain default style of "just text" to something like this:
This is just an example I quickly found on the web. But it is a good representation of what I want to achieve.
I would like to make the pivot items to look like they are tabs.
They should be visibly seperated from another and when one of the items is selected I want to make it visually stand out from the others.
I'm really new to styling controls. I actually just started to read about it yesterday. But it really helps to make an app visually interesting instead of just the plain default styles.
I would really appreciate some help or guidance here :)
Greetings :)
We can modify the PivotHeaderItem default style to implement the effect. Here is also a similar thread that describes how to achieve it : Pivot Header style
Please note that: the PivotHeaderItem default style is based on the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows 10, Version 1511 (Windows SDK version 10.0.10586.0). If your app target on other version, the styles and resources may be have different values. But the approach to implement the effect is similar. You can find the corresponding source in the path of your Windows SDK installation such as:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\DesignTime\CommonConfiguration\Neutral\UAP\10.0.16299.0\Generic.

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".

Title. Basically, I'd like to be able to make a simple VB solution, and then have a DIFFERENT solution be able to modify some aspect of that solution, from font family (say, font A without this mod, and font B with it), to actually extending code to allow for something the original does not. Help?
I'm new with NSIS, and the problems i have, the people of this forum can help me, and now... all the project is OK.
But now... i have one small problem... in Pages (Install / Uninstall) i have a Left Image... all OK... but... ¿Is possible the BMP can stay at the backround with 100% width and height?
The example is here:
How is the form to put the Background BMP image in Pages?
Thanks for all friends! ;)
You can either use the product advertised in your screenshot to build that NSIS installer for you, or create your own custom UI with a resource editor of your liking. It's probably a good starting point to take a look at the UIs that come with NSIS, open their executables in a resource editor.
As author of Graphical Installer I can say it is more complicated than it looks :)
What you need is to create full sized picture, set it's content and refresh it on each page.
The picture you see on the Welcome/Finish page is not present on other pages so you need to create it manually (during runtime or via UI file - based on your preferences).
It looks simple but there is really much more to do and some serious NSIS skills are required.
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.

I use Reshaper 5.1.1 to extract strings to resource files in my Silverlight app. I want to be able to extract strings in my XAML (like Content or Text properties) - but the Move option under Resharper is never enabled when I am viewing XAML. It does not identify possible text strings for extraction.
I have done extensive searching but can't seem to find much about R# and localizing XAML files. Is it possible, and how can I enable it? (I checked all my settings and there's nothing about XAML and resources).
According to R# support forums, XAML string extraction is only possible in WPF, not Silverlight! This is very annoying... there is another tool called Resource Refactor (or similar) on CodePlex which does the job until R# support SL.
