settings

I would like some of my preferences to have icons, like the Settings app. I guess one way of doing this would be to copy all the relevant code and resources from the Settings app, but it seems like overkill for a couple of icons. Also I don't like the idea of having to duplicate the code and resources in each project that requires settings icons. Has anyone solved this already with a simpler or resource-free approach? CommonsWare The Settings application uses a private custom PreferenceScreen subclass to have the icon -- IconPreferenceScreen . It is 51 lines of code, including the comments,

Is there any way to change the Git username and email for Xcode? When I try commit now it will post my real name. I want it to post my GitHub username so that you can link commits to my user on GitHub. Usually with Git I've been able to just type git config --global user.name whoosh in the terminal but it doesn't seem to work on Mac and Xcode. VonC As mentioned in " Where is the Git commit info set in Xcode 4? ", XCode takes user information from your contact card from your (2012) Address Book ( called Contact in 2014 ). Changing your contact card would change user information (for new commits

I export my settings in Visual Studio and if I ever move to a new machine or have problems, I use those backed up settings to restore Visual Studio to the way I like it. It also allows me to maintain a consistent development environment between the various machines that I use. This works great for keybindings, syntax highlighting, user tools, pretty much everything except for the toolbar locations and customizations . Whenever I move to a new machine and restore the settings, the toolbars are not affected. I have spent a fair amount of time setting up toolbars with my macros, external tools,

Does anybody know if there is a shortcut or something similar for changing the font size in the text editor in Visual Studio 2008? What I mean is something like Ctrl + mouse wheel like in Firefox. Accessing the Options window and then selecting Environment > Fonts and Colors is fine if you don't have to change the font size all the time, but in my case, I would like to be able to change it depending on what I am doing (writing and reading code or just reading it). I guess I could create two almost identical settings files and import them whenever I want, but that is even slower. In the Macros

I am installing SQL Server 2008 Developer here, and on the Server Configuration step of the installation it asks me about Service Accounts. What do I choose here? I can see the available ones in the screen shot, although on most of them I can only select two or three of those. When I click the Use the same account for all SQL Server 2008 services button I can choose between NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE and NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM . What do I choose here, and why? From Microsoft: Local System account. The name of this account is NT AUTHORITY\System. It is a powerful account that has unrestricted

I have recently started using Atom editor. Its pretty great so far. I am planning to install it on several other machines. How can I replicate the config and list of packages installed on my current machine to other machines. Is there a config that I can use to export and import them on other machines. Use Git to version control your config file ( ~/.atom/config.cson ), and any other config files (dotfiles) you may have. You can then host your Git repository for free on somewhere like GitHub , and retrieve it on other computers simply by running git clone https://github.com/{username}/{repo} .

Often in coding and templating I need to wrap a certain part of text. Is there any shortcut to wrap the current selection, for example: Hello World "Hello World" Hello World {{ trans 'Hello World' }} Im using PhpStorm 7 for Mac and PC. I found something similiar, with: ctrl + alt + j you can wrap with a html-tag but nothing else. Also ctrl + alt + - comments the current selection according to the current file format(php, twig, html, ...) Steve.NayLinAung I know this is a little late answer, but I hope anyone who looks this question get helped. In PhpStorm, almost everything can be configured
