How to move windows10 window control button to the right? - windows

After last update of Vscode the window control button are hiding the Vscode menu. See top left (in white border) in the image below.
I am running Windows10 Pro.
Is there a way to move those buttons to the top-right corner?

Following the suggested link by #Mark, the issue is of Vscode integration into Windows 10.
I spent some time looking how to perform the change.
So:
Open (hidden) File menu using ATL-F
Select Preferences-> setting
Serach for window.experimental.windowControlsOverlay.enabled
Option should not be checked
See the screenshot below: (note: vscode will request & should restart)

XCode 8.1 shows same file side by side, no 'x' button to remove second window

After a few months of not writing any iOS code I upgraded to XCode 8.1 and opened a project. Strangely I am seeing two windows (see pasted image below). Annoyingly these two screens move in sync, show the same file, etc, but one cannot be closed. There is no 'X' at the top to close the window. Has anyone run into this and how can I get rid of one of the screens?
Probably you activated the version editor without noticing it. To revert to the standard editor, hit the button on the top right corner of the window with a drawing showing lines justified to the left (right next to a button with two circles and another with arrows).
Alternatively go to the menu:
View -> Standard Editor -> Show Standard Editor
or hit the Command + Return keys.
That should do it.

Is there a way to use PyCharm on multiple monitors

I'm using PyCharm with multiple monitors on Mac OSX (10.10.5), normally you can drag windows off to a separate monitor. In PyCharm that works, but they (and in particular the Run window) snap back to the main monitor.
I've only seen this on the latest PyCharm 5 CE though its possible older versions also had the problem. I've searched all the settings and searched online, but can't find a setting that makes the window stay where it was placed.
Right click on the tab and select View Mode as Window.
Then you can move the window to another monitor.
It's crappy behaviour from the best python IDE out there.
There is a OSX solution but i'm not sure if you will like it:
You can enable old style multiple screen support again in OSX by going to System Preferences, Mission Control and uncheck "Displays have separate spaces". Now your floating windows will not snap back and you can even extend your PyCharm main window over the screens.
The downside of this solution is that you'll have the OSX dock and main menu only on your main monitor. I hope Jetbrains will fix this behaviour soon.
Another way to achieve what you want is to open multiple instances of the project. When you try to open the project for the second time you can choose "open project in new window". You can drag the new window to the second screen; it won't snap back to your primary monitor.
For Ubuntu and Windows users landing up here:
Press Shift + F4 or
Right-click and select 'Move Tab to New Window'
Drag the newly created window to the next screen
The best option is to detach an editor window and drag it to your second monitor.

Xcode 6 open Assistant Editor in New Window

I feel like I have read every link on Google pertaining to this question, but none that I have read have helped.
All I want to do is view my Storyboard layout on the left monitor, and on my right monitor, in a new window, have the Assistant Editor open to "Preview" for my Storyboard so that I can preview the different devices sizes (clicking different storyboard views on the left screen should update the assistant editor preview on the right). This seems so simple, but has not proved to be.
Please tell me this is possible.
EDIT: This guy seems to have it working but following the steps didn't work for me.
It's possible.. and it's awesome:
I do have this working after following the instructions linked in the OP. I think the author left out that you need to click on the view controller that you're editing in BOTH instances of the story board window to see the changes update. Then as you're editing on your main window the changes will update to the open storyboard and thus the preview will update as well. I was able to test this and achieved a somewhat desired result.
In case the link goes dead here are the instructions lined out
Here’s how you can set this up…
In the Project Navigator pane, single-click a storyboard/XIB file to open it in the main Xcode window.
Now double-click that same file to open it in a new window.
Move the new window to another monitor and maximize it
(So now you have the story board on 2 windows)
Click on the new window to make sure it has input focus, then type Option+Command+Enter to open an assistant editor in that window.
In the assistant editor’s jump bar click on ‘Automatic‘ to open the drop-down menu (see the screenshot below if you don’t know what this means).
Click on the ‘Preview‘ menu item to open the preview editor.
Click and hold next to the assistant editor’s jump bar, then drag up or left (depending on which editor layout you prefer; vertical or horizontal), to maximize the preview’s screen real estate.
Lastly... the part the author left out is that you need to select the view controller you want to edit in BOTH story board windows and then just drag the preview window to cover more of the screen.
It's not pretty but it's effective.
Edit: wording and grammar :)
This is not currently possible (Xcode 6.3.1 at the time of writing). The best you can do is open your storyboard in one window, open it again in a new window, open the preview, and slide the assistant editor as far left as possible. The preview won't take up the entire window, but it'll be pretty close.

Disable " Stay on top" features on photoshop CS2

Photoshop CS2 always stay on top, even when I click another app from the windows taskbar (right of the start button).
It's completly annoying me. Always need minimized, click the other app, reclick again on photoshop, re-reminimized.
I only have 1 screen at work so I can't let photoshop on one screen and work with the other app on the other screen.
I look in all photoshop menu, find nothing
I googled the problem, and find a adobe page explain this problem is a "feature".
I only want photoshop cs2 work all other app on windows and loose focus, let new app appear on top.
Thank you.
I had this problem and somehow solved it. But my solution may be just as fickle as why the problem occurs in the first place. But here's what I did:
On the layers palette (F7) I clicked on the small arrow just below the close "X" button, on the right. Then I selected "Pallete Options"
Didn't change any options but just clicked OK.
Now the entire window remained on top, not just the palettes. So I restarted Photoshop and it seemed to fix the issue.
I found that if you open up "edit > preferences > Memory & Image Cache" and set your memory usage up then it will fix it. I am on a Windows 10.
See this post:

Go to Edit > Preferences > File Handling > Uncheck Enable Version Cue Workgroup File Management
I literally JUST found this on accident and fixed it after having issues with all my toolbars being hidden behind stuff, and not being able to minimize without clicking on the PS window first etc. Seems to have worked!

I am having same issue with CS2 on Windows 7 64 bit. To work around, I hit tab on keyboard when photoshop window is active, that makes all pallets invisible, then I can switch to any window I need to work on.
As per this article there seem to be issue with Microsoft update https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2142314

Visual Studio 2012: How do I put the toolbox back in its default position?

Somehow, I moved the toolbox in my Visual Studio 2012 installation away from its default position along the left edge of my display. I'm used to it being there, and I want to put it back, but I don't see a way to do it. How can I get it there?
Thanks very much!
Based on the comments to your question it sounds like want the toolbox tool window to be hidden. Only the name "Toolbox" should appear and it should be aligned vertically (top to bottom) instead of horizontally. To get that do the following
Drag the toolbox tool window over to the left side of the screen and drop it
There will be 3 icons on the top right of the tool window. Click the middle one which looks like a pin
This will get it back in the default position
Click WINDOW And select Reset Window Layout
Using this: Alt + Ctrl + x. Then Toolbox tag will pop out.
