I'm trying to figure out how to render text on Windows with the same display as Mac rendered text, e.g: http://igadgetlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/11.png (That picture is not perfect, but it showcases the neat anti aliasing that Mac has)
I've looked at GDI++/Freetype, and it seems too unstable and it has a lack of documentation. If anyone has any suggestions, that'd be great.
The reason I am asking is because I am trying to make a writing program where text readability and text display are two important factors.
Thanks
The solution lies in using gdipp to override the default font-rendering engine in Windows. Just download the latest package from their Google project page and double click to install it.
It will automatically get installed as a service. If you don't notice any change in the way fonts render, open Run -> Type services.msc -> Right click gdipp -> Click Start.
You may need to restart your computer once for all programs to start respecting gdipp's rendering engine.
EDIT: Alternatively, look at MacType. It's a user-space application that won't require being run as a service. It works with Chrome as well.

I try to use VBS to automate Excel download on Sap Business Client. Normally I would use the following option:
Using settings option to record VBS
This works great when interacting with transaction.
Lately I came across a different type of GUI-which looks different. In this screen there is no scripting option and even after I tried to record from a transaction and interact with it, it fails.
This picture shows how it looks on the tabs menu (it has Sap logo instead of normal transaction logo):
Tab menu report logo
Unfortunately I use Sap in an organization that does not allow for full code sharing, so this is why I attached only screenshots.
Any help or even a link to a documented API to interact with such type will be very appreciated.
I tried to search for any ideas, but couldn't find anything.
My guess is that the object type needs to be different than SAPGUI or SAPGUISERVER:
Set SapGuiAuto=GetObject("SAPGUI ")
But again, no other option works.

I am creating a custom task in SAS Studio 3.5. I want to design a simple user interface so that users can select options and input parameters.
When SAS Studio opens, there is a code and log window, when the task is opened there are then a few extra tabs at the top.
I would like to know if
A) the log and code window can be deselected by default
B) if, when the task is opened, it displays only the user interface (form) to fill in.
I basically want as few things for the user to click on as possible.
The best way to deliver a modern UI is to use HTML5. This is waay easier than using SAS/AF, more supportable (plenty of web resource available in the market), scalable, requires no client install (virtually all clients have browsers!), and you can make use of the '000s of free libraries available (jQuery, Boostrap, HandsOnTable etc).
I have written a simple guide for building web applications with SAS:

I'm web developer on mac os and I need a feature that allow's to pin web inspector in separate window always on top of current page. I'm trying to create addon with this feature, never did it before. Researched developer.mozilla.org but can't find any ability to do it. Any suggestions how to do it?
You'll have to use this addon - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/topick/
You can set any hotkey you want. On Windows and Linux it supports toggling "always on top"-ness for all system windows (not just Firefox). On Mac it currently is limited to just Firefox windows, but hopefully soon it will be system wide on Mac as well.

I am using Ubuntu with the Unity desktop and I would like to write a Ruby script that minimizes all of my Chrome windows and opens my LibreOffice Calc window. I'm sure there is an API for this, but whenever I Google "Ruby Unity API", "Ruby Unity Window Management" or "manage Unity from CLI", I get erroneous results. Could someone please point me in the direction of which Gem I should be using or alternatively what shell commands I should be investigating?
What I should have been Googling is "AutoIt for Linux", where I would have discovered the scripting too called "AutoKey", which includes functions for windows manipulation. I'm going to leave this post up for posterity.
Actually, if you're feeling keen on using the command line, you can actually use wmctrl.

I have written a fully functioning bash script performing a proxy switching within a Local Area Network based on relative speeds.
Can I convert this directly into a GUI application for Ubuntu? If not where should I start (I am completely new to GUI App development)?
Can this script be converted into any other language?
Yes, you need only create a "desktop" file for it, and place it in ~/.local/share/applications/.
The easiest way to do that is using MenuLibre. Incidentally, there's nothing Ubuntu-specific about this. The same trick will work with most distros.
If you want your script to have a task-bar icon, or open dialog windows, or show a desktop notification bubble, you might like to look at Zenity.
Of course you can rewrite your script in any other language you choose, but I'm not aware of an easy way to convert it automatically.
