If someone could tell me how to change the tool palette, per the issue below, I'd be grateful.
I'd like to use the pen tool, and specify the attributes of the pen tool by choosing items in the "tools options palette," but the options I see in Photoshop CC are very different from what I see in this online tutorial (text based): http://pshero.com/photoshop-tutorials/graphic-design/wrapping-text-around-an-object
I believe that tutorial might be showing an older version of Photoshop (but the authors don't identify the version). Maybe the tool options palette shown there no longer exists. I'm posting a photo of the palette I'd like to see, and the palette I actually have.
Thank you.

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'm using this plugin as a markdown plugin in IntelliJ. I tried to make a quick unordered list, but the button is grayed out. In fact, most of the buttons are grayed out. The only ones available to me are simple functions like bold, italics, strikethrough, etc. Here's a screenshot for reference:
I've tried highlighting sections of text, moving my keyboard cursor around, different kinds of markdown--all without any luck of "unlocking" the lists, tables, etc. so I must be doing something wrong. Anyone know?
Enabling the enhanced features using trial license
Goto http://vladsch.com/product/markdown-navigator/try and get a trial license (which will be e-mailed to you).
Then in Intellij, goto Settings -> Language and Frameworks. I noticed that there was already a license installed for me after first installing the Markdown Navigator plugin. However, based on the available features this license is the Basic version only (and had a validity of 73 days for me).
Click on Remove License and then paste the license code that you received in the e-mail. After that you should see this:
From the comments on the official markdown plugin page, it appears that the official plugin is not very stable.
Other free options
I have found the Markdown Navigator plugin to be quite useful and well worth the 20 USD per annum fees. However, if you are looking for just that one off editing of markdown files, then there are other options as well.
The one I find most convenient is the online StackEdit for quick editing tasks:
Best of both the worlds
If your work involves a bit more frequent editing of markdown files and you are averse to paying the licensing fees for for the Markdown Navigator, then with just a bit of work, it's possible and comes close to the convenience of using the Markdown Navigator.
Step 1 - Add an external editor of choice
I have used Typora as an example here, however there are others like Write (Freemium), ReText (Open Source) which can be used in a similar manner.
Here is how to add Typora as an external tool in Intellij Idea:
Note that $Filepath$ should be quoted as "$FilePath$" if there are likely to be spaces in your project path. Would recommend quoting nonetheless.
Also, note that the Group was set to Markdown Editors. This is significant as the Group name will be the name of the Menu item later on.
Step 2 : (Optional but recommended) Add a keyboard shortcut for Typora
Step 3 : Use the external editor!
Typora will now be available both using the keyboard shortcut or using Tools -> Markdown Editors (Remember that Markdown Editors was the name of the group in Step1?)
The following shows using both the keyboard shortcut and the menu item:
Note that, thanks to Intellij's auto-reload/refresh, as soon as you are done editing in Typora and focus the file (Readme.md in the above), the changes are automatically reflected there.
Kind of Enhanced Features will be available only if you have license.
In IntelliJ File | Settings | Languages & Frameworks | Markdown in License Information section you can buy it or use free trial for 15 days.
I don't know, it may be off topic question. I am using Darcula theme in PhpStorm. I need to add more contrast (darker background, brighter text) in PhpStorm.
I googled a lot but I could not find appropriate answer for changing that. Is there any way to do that?
While this post is dated, searching for an answer to what I believe to be a similar problem brought me here. In my case I could not easily read the line numbers on my display. The contrast was too weak.
I will answer this with the steps I took as it may help others who stumble onto this:
To configure it I opened Settings/Preferences dialog, and under the Editor node, clicked Colors & Fonts and then the General section. In this section I was able to find Code => Line number (in my case). In the case of the OP the section will be Text => Default text.
There you can change the colors and contrast directly to your liking.
#Dom: Thx for your answer. It helped me to enhance the contrast.
In the IntelliJ IDEA 2018 Version you can find this under:
File > Settings > Editor > Color Scheme > General
From there choose:
Text > Default Text
There are many GUI automation tools that allow clicking on a specified image (well-known Sikuli, for example). Is there any way to click on the specified text, not image? This way the tool will:
make screenshot
recognize text on it
find text position (somehow)
send click event to this position
It would be much easier to write tests using this approach (many interfaces have text button, inputs etc.) rather than make screenshots for every single element.
I've seen some OCR feature in Sikuli but it didn't work for me (I tried invoking click('some-text-here').
Sikuli built-in OCR features are pretty buggy and unstable. All (or at least most of) the related issues are listed in this BUG. However there are few possible workarounds which are, however, not also always applicable..
If the text is known, you can take a screenshot of the text and then look for it as a screenshot. For example if you know exact font of this text, you can automatically generate such text on the screen and use it as a pattern to locate it elsewhere.
The built-in tesseract based OCR, performs significantly better when the font is bigger, "fatter" and in Grayscale (usually). Hence you might do some background image processing before attempting the actual recognition. I used ImageMagick to resize and filter the images for better recognition. It can be in the background as a command line tool. For example:
convert -filter spline -resize 100x -unsharp 10x20 -type Grayscale
I am aware that this does not answer your question directly but these are steps you might consider taking towards the final solution.
I'm a developer at Deskover company and we are currently developing an application, UiPath Studio that meets your needs.
We provide text recognition on various technologies with 100% accuracy, ability to find specific text in an area on screen, a control or an entire window, and also ability to click text or controls.
You can execute different actions, sequentially by creating workflows.
We at Deskover are big fans of Sikuli project. We actually use the same image recognition engine in UiPath Studio.
UiPath Studio is a visual tool that helps you create workflows easily, but you can also use the underlying API and implement an application that extracts text and clicks on it.
You can find more details about the UiPath library here.
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.
