Guidelines / indentation lines in Google Chrome Dev Tools - google-chrome-devtools

Is it possible to have guidelines / indentation lines inside Google Chrome dev tools? Check attached photo.
I was looking for it for quite a long time and it's nothing there.
It would be very helpful in web development process.

I don't know of any way to display all the guidelines, but DevTools already does what you want to some extent:
Select the Elements tab.
Select and expand any element with a triangle and a vertical guideline will be displayed.
Hover over any subordinate element and a second fainter guideline will be displayed.
Here's a screen shot:
The guidelines aren't too obvious in that screen shot so I added two large red arrows to point to them, but they are easier to see on the actual screen.
I am not using any theme, so perhaps you can't see those two guidelines because of the dark theme you are using? If so, try using a different theme, or no theme at all.

Can I increase UI scaling in eclipse on Mac?

I've spent some time already searching for an answer. I know that I can increase the text size in an open file, but is there any way to increase the overall UI scaling? I have a large monitor so I can utilize multiple applications in my workflow, but the size of the application text and icons is so small that it's totally unusable.
Here is a comparison between Eclipse on the left and IntelliJ on the right on my screen:
I scaled IntelliJ on the right to be the perfect size, easily, but Eclipse on the left is way too small to effectively work with it.
I've tried removing a line indicating small text in the eclipse.ini file but that didn't change anything.
Given how poorly my search has turned up already, I assume the answer is 'no'. This leads me to ask, how is this possible? How can such a sophisticated and popular application not be able to change the UI scaling? I feel as though there must actually be a reasonable explanation because this is just plain absurd. This can't be passed off as a legitimate piece of software in this day and age without flexibility on screen size.
Thank you.
EDIT: *
I'm still unable to update the size of the UI icons. I've searched through numerous other issues going through the "-Dswt.autoScale=200" options in the elipse.ini setting but this is not working on Mac. Anyone able to assist here? Thank you!
The "Tree and Table font for views" setting in the "General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts" page of the Preferences sets the size of Project Explorer view. That entry is in the "View and Editor Folders" section.
Icons are only scaled if the display is set up as scaled by x2 or x1.5.

Chrome Developer Tools Rulers & Pixel Bar are Inconsistent EDIT: Solution Browser Zoom

The developer mode shows me diff sizes on the right and on the rulers, if I load a site in the local host. E.g. if I drag my screen to 1200px (number at the side), the rules display 1300px.
So the sizes are not consistent. The rulers show the right size because that's how the site behaves according to my media queries. It is not very comfortable to check the size on the rulers, so I'm searching for a solution.
I found this one issue, but 100px difference is more than any scrollbars and it occurs only with my locally hosted pages:
Chrome developer tools window dimensions are inconsistent
PS: I use XAMPP
Maybe it is page scale? Push Ctrl + 0.

How to remove Github's Wiki default sidebar

Since a few weeks, Github wikis present a compulsory side bar to the right of wiki pages that take up some space for writing. Example:
I could not find any button nor instructions on the net to remove this sidebar.
Is there a command or instructions to get it removed somewhere?
As of right now there is not a way to remove the sidebar. I would suggest you make a note to the developers of this issue and they may act upon it. Until then we will just have to deal with the stick sidebar.
This isn't a definitive answer, but here are a couple tools that might help.
If you're using Chrome or Firefox, you could use the Stylus add-on. It allows you to restyle any webpage by modifying the CSS. You can write your own user styles, but there's several on userstyles.org for Github. I use Github Wide, which widens the Github interface. That gives me more space for writing.
If that's not enough and you really want to zap the sidebar, a relatively easy way to remove an element from a webpage is to use AdBlock. You can add any element you don't want to see as a custom filter. You might be able to use a combination of that plus your own Stylish user style to tweak the CSS so that the content you want to see fills the now-empty space.
I don't think that there is a way to remove this sidebar. However, when I am editing a wiki page, if the sidebar is on top of the content, I get a horizontal slider.

What causes some icons not to appear when I run my iPhone web app in Safari on the desktop?

NOTE: I have rephrased the title because I'm not getting any answers. Surely someone out there has experienced this problem and knows what to do. Thank you!
I have an iPhone web app that works almost perfectly in Safari on the desktop. Only two things do not work correctly on the desktop:
Radio buttons do not appear. They are operational because you can check one if you know where it is; it simply is invisible.
When SELECT is used, the little box with the default selection in it and the little down arrow do not appear. However, the actual text of the default selection DOES appear. If I click on that text the drop-down menu appears as it should.
In both cases the problem seems to have to do with icons missing or not rendered as needed.
What is the problem and how can I correct it?
Thank you.

Have you tried changing your user agent to Mobile Safari? If you turn on the Develop menu in Safari advanced prefs, you can then test the app in different environments. It's just a thought.

Change order of images in icon file

Is there an app that can change the order of images inside an icon?
Thanks!
What you'll need to do that is a resource editor. A google search will reveal many free ones out there. The restorator is a great one, but not free and over-priced IMO.
Any decent resource editor will allow you to see icons in the exe or dll and save them or replace them. I don't know of any that will allow you to reorder them, but just about any out there would allow you to save the icons out and then replace them back in the exe/dll in whatever order you'd like.
The only resource editor I know of that will allow you to re-order the embedded icons including png compressed vista icons is Resource Tuner Console.
You can change the image order using Pixelformer (an icon/bitmap editor). Import the icon, reorder the images as you wish, then export it back.
Using a resource editor is not an easy way to do this because you have to edit both ICON and ICON GROUP and I tried to do this with Resource Hacker and could not do it.
I found Easy Icon Maker is able to rearrange the order of the icons properly... it's the only icon editor that I found with this option, and I tried about half a dozen. The editor itself is not nearly as good as IcoFX (http://portableapps.com/apps/graphics_pictures/icofx_portable)
Why would you want to do this? Well there are certain times when Windows will use the first icon file that matches the size, but this may not be the color-depth that you want... for instance if you are on an older machine like Windows 2000 that doesn't support Alpha Channels then putting these at the beginning of your ICO file will cause Windows 2000 to try to render it so it results in black dots all over the image.
