Amazon EC2 blue box next to "Disabled" - amazon-ec2

Blue box problem. There is a blue box right next to the label disabled on my Amazon dashboard for EC2 services. The blue box has no tooltip. What is it for? Is it a friend or foe? How did it get there? Do I need it? Will it always stay blue? Can I change its color? Why is it square? How come other don't have a blue box? I don't want a blue box. How do I get rid of it?

The box is a color key for the graphs on the Monitoring tab. If you select mutiple instances, you can view the metrics for multiple instances on the same charts, and the color key tells you which line is which instance.

Highlighting Windows or MacOs Screen without impacting clickable area

I want to know if there is a way to highlight specific points on the windows or Mac screen without impacting on application that is running and its clickable area.
To better understand the question, imagine some area of the LCD of laptop is malfunctioning, e.g. pressed and highlighted with purple color. We can still see what is going on underneath the purple area and it is clickable and regardless what is the color of item on that point, it shows purple.
Is it possible to do it by software and programmatically ? Is there any API or something to manipulate output of graphic card for specific point, draw something or highlight without impaction on the application running under it.
I know that I could write it better way, but excuse me since English is not my first language...

Custom Button in Swift and MacOS

In MacOS there is a simple App called Calculator, that I would like to recreate using Swift for learning purposes. A button like the plus button on the calculator has two images associated with it, one when the button is up and one when the button is down, as seen on the images below.
As you can see, when the + button is pressed down, its image changes to a darker orange color and the text gets a dark grey color. My question is: How to implement this button behavior?
Is it possible to do it with NSButton (and if so how)? or is it easier to implement it using CALayer? Or maybe there is some other way that I have not thought of?
You should be able to use a single image and configure it in code or in your asset catalogue to be a "template image". That means the shape is taken into consideration, much like a stamp, and the stamped-out area is filled with color dynamically. That means you don't have to provide a white and dark gray/black variant. One variant will suffice, usually black to see the lines well, and the rest can be configured through.
See the SO question "How to NOT highlight the NSButton's template image when clicked?" for details about the setup: How to NOT highlight the NSButton's template image when clicked?

Background color and console text color

I am using PowerShell and I have run into the issue that I cannot distinguish certain colored text from the background. I have tried to go with default PowerShell blue, black, white, grey... There is a problem with all colors. For example with white - vagrant is colored yellow. If I choose black or blue then I cannot see Laravel's artisan which is blue (inside vagrant box). On grey I think I didn't read yellow and the bring green from logging into vagrant.
It's not as if I can change the background on the go as it often retains the background color as text background color. Also switching constantly would be annoying. I have tried Googling said issue but I have not come across anything that corresponds to the issue I am having. Surely there is a solution for this somehow?
I am posting this as a separate post since the only response I got was missing a few details to make it complete.
If you ever run across this error, then you indeed go to Properties > Colors and not only change the background color but change all the other colors presets to match. They are not there to offer you some presets to choose from, which I mistakenly believed - they are actual color definitions used by the console. When you are done, make sure that the selected colors for background, text etc have not shifted.
For example: PowerShell is dark blue. As such you cannot use colors that are similar and the bright regular blue I will change to light blue, which stands out easily. And voilá.
You should be able to change the text color for specific syntax in the colors tab. In the properties tab when you right click on power shell. Go to colors tab and edit it according

Instant mirror-ing between two <div>

When I drag an image into a div box, the div box next to it should immediately mirror it and contain the image as well.
However if you look at the Fiddle example below, when I drag the image into the pink box, the blue box does not mirror the pink box and contain the image as well.
Is there a way to allow the blue box to immediately mirror the content in the pink box whenever an image is dragged into it?

Magento: Multiple Attributes with same (identic) values - inheritable?

I am about to set up an online store and I am kinda "testing" if magento fits my needs. I think I got the idea behind categorizing and attributing products. But I have a question to the attributes concerning products - or in detail: for configurable products.
Is it possible to "inherit" attribute values (options) from another existing attribute?
I'll give you an example to visualize my question:
Let's say we sell boxes. We would have three different types of boxes:
uni-color boxes ("box-color")
boxes with a seperate "top-color"
boxes with a special printing on it, which has its own color ("highlight color")
To assign colors to box type #1, I would have the possible values
black,
white,
orange.
Box type #2 might come as
black box / black top (it might seem redundant, but there is a difference to uni-colored boxes),
black box / white top,
black box / orange top,
white box / black top,
white box / white top,
white box / orange top,
and so on.
And finally, box type #3 might come as
black box / black top / black highlight,
black / white / orange,
black / black / white,
etc.
I think you get the idea.
I would like to have one attribute of color-options which I would maintain (like add new colors, delete old ones, etc.) - and use it as all three different types of configurable color sets.
To be able to create configurable products I would add the color-attribute to my special "boxes" attribute set(s). But when it comes to the two-colored-boxes, I am not able to add the color attribute a second time.
Is there any other (simple) way to achieve this? Since I am new to Magento I would not like to dig too deep into the code or even want to develop a module (?).
Thanks in advance, I appreciate your answers :-)
