I'm using Apatana studio 3, the folder and file names displayed in app explorer get truncated since the font size is too large, but I can't find a way to change it. Does anyone know how I can modify the font?
(changing themes doesn't help).
Thanks,
David
Previously if "invasive theming" was turned on it would apply a version of the editor font to the views. We've found that be a bit ugly and not what most people prefer, so we've broken out a separate theme preference setting for this now. (see http://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/APSTUD-2334 ). You have to explicitly check a checkbox in Preferences > Studio > Themes to apply the editor font to views. If that is on, then you change the font from the same preference page and it applies both the editors and the views. Otherwise it uses the standard Eclipse view font, which is controlled from Preferences > General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts.

Using Eclipse 2020-09 (i.e. v. 4.17) IDE for Java (on Linux, openSUSE Tumbleweed), with version 3.0.38 of Mylyn WikiText plugin installed, I had the following difficulty: Although pretty much all editor/ui fonts were fine, the HTML preview of WikiText files (in particular README.md!) displayed in unreadably small fonts (my display has a very small pixel pitch). So I wanted to find a way to set the CSS of such preview pages. The Mylyn WikiText docs (at https://help.eclipse.org/2020-09/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.mylyn.wikitext.help.ui%2Fhelp%2FMylyn+WikiText+User+Guide.html, under the heading "Rendering Appearance") says that there should be a Preferences screen General > Editors > Text Editor > WikiText > Appearance that allows one to set this CSS. However, no such screen shows up in my installation.
The only method I was able to find for fixing this was to use an application (such as Engrampa) which is able to edit the contents of .jar files, and in my eclipse installation directory, use it on plugins/org.eclipse.mylyn.wikitext.ui_3.0.[SPECIFIC_VERSION_HERE].jar to edit the internal component org/eclipse/mylyn/internal/wikitext/ui/viewer/default.css -- I could change any css there, and upon restarting Eclipse, the changes would take effect.
However, clearly any changes I make this way will be blown away upon the next update of Eclipse or of Mylyn Wikitext. Does anyone know of a better way to set the size of the preview text? Was that Appearance pane mentioned in the docs removed? If so, what replaced it? If not, any ideas why I might not be seeing it?
I'm playing with Mingw and embedding Icons. I add a single Icon by using windres and linking it in at compile time.
TRAY_ICON ICON "np.ico"
The Icon for the executable shows as the linked one, and opening the file with CFF explorer or similar tools show the Icon in the resource section.
When loading the Icon from within the application I use LoadIcon like below:
LoadIcon(GetModuleHandle(NULL), "TRAY_ICON");
Which works as expected and I can use the Icon for whatever. When looking at other executables I can see multiple Icons in the resources however. These are similar and are only different in size.
With multiple Icons present in the resource section, how does Windows decide which one to use when viewing the file in explorer or similar?
How are specific Icons selected when specifying a given Icon group?
K, so solved both, just forgot to post an answer here.
Windows uses the first icon group for the program icon.
Icon files can contain multiple images. Use the Linux imagemagic package to merge them. Windows decides which one to use based on size.
I'm using RStudio 1.1.383 and R 3.4.3 and I'm trying to apply a theme under Options > Appearance only to the background text area of the source pane and the console pane. This is exactly what happens when I apply a theme on my desktop computer (Win10), but when I apply a theme on my laptop (also Win10), it applies the theme to the entire GUI except for the top menu bar (i.e. File, Edit, Code, etc). The result looks jarring. Why might themes be behaving differently between my two computers which use identical setups? Is there an option that I might have selected somewhere on one and not the other that would cause the theme to apply to just the text area of a couple panes in one case and the entire GUI in the other?
This is a change in RStudio v1.1 -- now, when a 'dark' editor theme is selected, the entire IDE will be themed to match that.
If you'd prefer to have a dark editor theme with a light IDE theme, that's unfortunately not possible in v1.1. You might want to file a feature request at https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/issues.
When I create the "Command link button" (QCommandLinkButton) it has relatively nice green arrow icon.
I would like to see what other nice icons can I choose. When I try to change the icon, [Theme] appears instead of path or some GUI selection dialog:
I also noticed the context menu:
When I click Set icon from theme, again expecting some GUI selection list, I get just a text field:
What I was imagining:
Where's the list of icons from which the green arrow was taken?
QIcon::fromTheme works under specific conditions.
If it can find it in the QIcon::themeSearchPaths() for the QIcon::themeName()
If the desired icon isn't there, Qt Designer won't be able to do any of the from theme, named icons.
But... if you check your target system for the theme search paths and set the theme name, you are more likely to have success.
Example
On linux, I wanted to get a plus and a minus icon.
I found list-add.png and list-remove.png fit the bill.
https://github.com/GNOME/adwaita-icon-theme/tree/master/Adwaita/16x16/actions
http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html
http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html
I did a locate on my system and found these:
/usr/share/icons/gnome/16x16/actions/list-add.png
...
/usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/actions/list-add.png
/usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/actions/list-add.svg
/usr/share/icons/oxygen/16x16/actions/list-add.png
...
Forcing with fallback icon in QIcon::fromTheme
Find the icon on the filesystem:
ui->toolButton->setIcon(QIcon::fromTheme("list-add",
QIcon("/usr/share/icons/gnome/16x16/actions/list-add.png")));
Find the icon in the qt resource system...
Add the icon in a qrc file in your build, then reference it's path.
ui->toolButton->setIcon(QIcon::fromTheme("list-add",
QIcon(":/list-add.png")));
Overriding the current icon theme
qDebug() << "themeSearchPaths:" << QIcon::themeSearchPaths() << QIcon::themeName();
// themeSearchPaths: ("/usr/local/share/icons", "/usr/share/icons", ":/icons") "hicolor"
The default theme for the system, and for the target deployment machine, likely didn't have the icons in it I wanted... but the gnome or oxygen icon desktop theme installed would almost always have it...
QIcon::setThemeName("oxygen");
Note that you won't see the preview in Qt Designer necessarily because it doesn't set the theme until runtime of your code.
The gnome icon library has 1100+ icons in it. Here is one list:
https://gist.github.com/peteristhegreat/c0ca6e1a57e5d4b9cd0bb1d7b3be1d6a
This works as long as you know what themes are available on the target system.
The list from freedesktop.org has 286 icons listed.
Use icons included in Qt
Just like #peppe pointed out, Qt includes 70 standard icons, too.
widget->setIcon(widget->style()->standardIcon(QStyle::SP_BrowserReload));
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstyle.html#StandardPixmap-enum
Conclusion
Using a stock library on your target system is probably the fastest. Using the Qt built-ins is fast to figure out and use, but is fairly limited. Using a resource file is probably the most robust method, and gives unlimited options on what icon to use.
Be sure to pick a standard icon pack, and think about licensing and attributions, and some other things like that.
And there is no shortage of icons available online:

https://www.google.com/search?q=open+source+icon+library
Hope that helps.
I don't think that's the function you want to use. The "theme" name there corresponds to the QIcon::fromTheme functionality, which uses icons named according to the FDO specification
http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html
http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html
And they're not really supported on non-FDO platforms (Windows, Mac, ...) unless you deploy your own theme files.
Now some stock icons are shipped with Qt itself; I don't know how to set them from Designer, but from code you can use QStyle::standardIcon:
widget->setIcon(widget->style()->standardIcon(QStyle::SP_BrowserReload));
If the icon you need is not provided by Qt, you'll need to ship it. In that case the Resource System is a convenient way to bundle it alongside your executable.
Last, but not least, from a UX point of view you should consider using QToolButtons unless you're really building a Vista-like wizard.
I am not a programmer. The language is foreign. I am creating a WordPress website. I created a child-theme.
I read the theme documentation. Understood very little.
sent an email to the theme owner. No answer (2 weeks ago)
searched the web - found many websites - i.e. http://www.w3schools.com/ - http://css-tricks.com/sans-serif/ & others - me, no speak the language. Can you place html code in a CSS file?
The child-theme consists of a new style.css file. The top section of the style.css file is what was needed to create the child-theme. Then there are color changes which I inserted & that has gone very well.
Changing the font family is confusing. Poking around the parent theme and also using 'Firebug' the font(s) seem(s) to be ('inherited'?). .genericon, 'Roboto Condensed', Sans-serif, Arimo, Arial and a few other standard MS Word fonts. I saw on the Google font site a couple of fonts I would prefer to use for my website.
How do I (or even can I) download the Google fonts to the Style.css file?
What do I need to insert in the child style.css file to override the parent fonts?
In case this is important, the theme has more than one template (PHP?) option. I am using W7 OS.
The Google Fonts site is really direct and helpful.
In your example, you mention Roboto. Here's the page for that font.
You would check the varieties of Roboto that you want to be able to use on your site under Step 1.
Step 2 allows you to select additional character sets -- for example if you were likely to be displaying text in Russian.
Step 3 gives you three ways to "enable" the font on your site. You'll be placing a line of code somewhere, telling users' browsers to go and get the font from Google when called for. The easiest way to do this is probably the #import option. Copy and paste the code under that tab into your style.css at the top (that's important -- it should go before any of the stuff describing the layout or type on your stylesheet). Your sub-theme likely has a bunch of other #import lines up there already.
Step 4 shows what specifically you need to tell your stylesheet to look for.
Good luck!
External style sheets have the highest hierarchy, so just specify your styles with the id, class or element name.
Google is your friend here.
To use google fonts, go to the google font page and search for your font with the search box on the left, then click add to collection. Once in your collection, go to your collection and click "use".
You should get an "#import()" code, place this at the top of your external sheet.
