Is it possible to adjust the header rendering in InteliJ. Currently almost a centimeter of vertical is completely wasted to emptiness (Which is significant when working on the 15 inch mac laptop).
Going 'Full Screen' isn't acceptable option right now since then then it adds transition delay when going to another window like the terminal.
Try Distraction Free mode: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/ide-viewing-modes.html
In Distraction-free mode, the editor occupies the entire main window with the source code centered. All other elements of the UI are hidden (tool windows, toolbars, and editor tabs)
The short version is that I've turned the brightness way down on my monitor and now I'm having problems finding the mouse cursor in eclipse (the text cursor). When it's a pointer cursor it's fine, but when it goes to the text cursor I can barely see it. Half the time I'm guessing where it is.
To be quite honest this is for all of Windows, but it's really a problem for me in eclipse where I spend a lot of time.
Update: I have looked at the windows settings, specifically the "Text Select" under "Pointers", but I'm not sure what to replace it with. I don't know anything about the .cur file it requires.
I am not sitting at a Windows box right now, so I can't try, but you can set the mouse cursor in the system settings / mouse settings. You can set specific cursors, like the text cursor. Windows ships (at least: shipped) with cursor themes that are much better visible. The same problem can occur when you need the "precision select" cursor - a small negative cross, invisible on grey background. But there are replacements with strong contours that are easily visible. So you don't have to change the whole pointer theme, if you don't want to, but can change just this one or two problematic.
I did this when using Windows XP, I hope it still is valid for 7.
I use a widescreen laptop. Many websites have their content centre aligned. On wider screens this means lot of empty space on left and right. As such this is not a botheration.
Many a times, I read some instructions on the web page and type them out on the command prompt. I prefer to overlay the command prompt window on top of the browser and if the browser contents are left aligned (or right aligned), then I need not Alt-tab across these windows.
I use Firefox on Ubuntu. I use the command line (konsole) heavily. I know compiz (and similar) tools provides transparent windows so that the content beneath is visible. But I don't want to install compiz or its equivalent because my graphics driver is not all that good.
Any addon or simple trick that would shift the page content to the left (or right) would be very helpful (read productive).
The path of least resistance is: Don't maximise the window - leave it as a floating window and move it over so it is side-by-side with your command prompt.
If you really want to be funky, override the stylesheet using a user defined stylesheet that has a fixed margin on either the left or right, so the space is never used by the web page.
I am using visual studios 2008. My laptop has the max screen res of 1366x768.
What can i do to get more reading space? i was thinking of making the font smaller but it would be more helpful if i can make everything smaller (toolbar icons, text, etc)
The only improvement i done so far was remove a bunch of things under the toolbar so i have only one line. Actually for this project i remove the standard bar so i have have the solution and text directly under the menu with no toolbar. What else can i do to maximize reading space.
Tools > Options > Environment > General > Uncheck "Show status bar"
Tools > Options > Text Editor > All Languages > Uncheck "Navigation bar"
Install the "Hide Main Menu" extension available here.
Enable Auto-hide the taskbar in your Windows Taskbar properties.
That should get you at least 5-7 more lines.
Dual screens. The more pixels the better. I like 1920x1280 extended to across a matched monitor with vertically split tabs.
Probably not the answer you are looking for, but really, it HELPS A LOT.
Ok ok:
Try Lucida Console as a font - it's readable at 8pt - and fixed width!
Hit Alt+Shift+Enter to get into Full Screen mode.
Float all your "helper" windows and use Ctrl+Tab to get to them. (Click using mouse)
Pin your Windows Task Bar to the left or right of your screen to give more vertical reading space.
What I do is unpin all the various tool windows and views. Unpin the Solution Explorer, Properties viewer, Output etc. and the Toolbar. This leaves you with just the coding window and small bars around that allow you to hover over the edges of the window and see everything you just unpinned.
set the Solution explorer on the right to Auto-Hide, close the error window when possible (as in when you're not fixing errors), and try and drop the number of toolbars vertically to 1. You can also change the size of the text down by going to Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and colors but i wouldn't shrink the text unless you have good vision. I recommend Consolas 12 Point for your code; it's a bit big but very nice looking!
I got rid of the toolbars altogether and made things like the Solution Explorer autohide. I came to the realisation that the only toolbar button I ever used was a custom tool one I'd put there (I use the menu for that now). I'm running at 1920x1200 so real estate wasnt an issue - I just wanted less visual distractions. Just me and the code.
By default, Visual Studio tooltips remain visible for 10 seconds and then they disappear. I find this time too short to read some of the longer tooltips. Is there a way to increase the time they remain visible?
Whenever I encounter such a problem, I just press print screen and read the text in my favorite paint program.
I never understood why the tooltip timeout is not based on the length of the content.
My understanding is that ToolTips preferences are controlled at the system display level (i.e., as part of Windows settings). As far as I know, there is still no way to lengthen the time that a tip is displayed.
I recommend Shay Erlichmen's trick of using print screen to capture the tip. Paste into a paint program and you can read the whole thing. Then close the paint program without saving.
