Eclipse Mars running slow - eclipse

I am running mac OS X El Capitan. Eclipse is running really slow. Especially the scrolling. I am using the macbook's trackpad.
Macbook retina 13" 2015 8 GB ram, intel i5 (two cores at 2.7 ghz)

This has been driving me nuts! It seems that there is some bug in Eclipse that causes lag when redrawing editors when OS X is using "automatic scrollbars" (see your system settings).
I found that when changing this setting to always show scroll bars, then scrolling performance in Eclipse improved.
However, I like the automatic scrollbars, so I came up with this hack: fire up a terminal to write defaults write -app Eclipse AppleShowScrollBars Always, and now my scrollbars always show for Eclipse, but not all the other applications.
I hope this can help others out there too, until this problem receives a proper fix :-)

Slow scrolling for Eclipse on OS X is a known issue:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=366471

This will give you a much needed boost in scrolling, will not be exactly butter smooth though but close to it
add the following lines to eclipse.ini
-XX:PermSize=256m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-Xms1024m
-Xmx1024m

Unity Graphical Editor is broken

The white part sometimes grabs onto colors underneath, and I can't click on anything but the toolbars, where all the subwindows also have the same problem
I have suspicions that it is a problem with my NVidia GeForce, but I've tried going as far as uninstalling unity, manually deleting everything unity related and reinstalling and the glitch still exists.
That seems like a problem caused by old DirectX.
I had the same problem with 2018, and I fixed it on Win7 by installing the KB2670838 update. However, I can see you're using Win10, so this specific upgrade isn't available to you.
To be sure that it's not a problem of Unity, try launching it with the following command line arguments: -force -glcore and see if you have the same glitch when using OpenGL.
If not, I suggest you try to update the nVidia drivers to the latest version, and check if you have the latest version of DX12 on your OS.
If the problem persists, I suggest you contact directly someone at Unity.
The problem was the screen size. My screen was blown up by 25% change it in the display settings.

Is it possible to fix the font rendering/font smoothing on Ubuntu 13.04 for Matlab R2013a?

Hello everyone I have an issue with the R2013a version of Matlab on Linux. This issue pertains to the awful font rendering when writing scripts in the Matlab Editor. This bad font rendering is not conducive to programming and is a problem when typing code into any other editor on Ubuntu is rendered fine and easy on the eyes. I want the font smoothing to be as nice as it is on both Windows and OSX. I tried selecting the anti-aliasing checkbox and installing high dpi (75 and 100) fonts from the terminal but those did not solve the problem. So what could the issue be? There are a few posts out there that have tried looking for the solution and nothing has been resolved.
Is there anything out there that could really help me with this? I can't do my work properly if this isn't resolved. If there isn't a solution, can someone give a font which doesn't look god awful in matlab editor.

Troubles: JavaFX Webview + Windows8.1 + 1920x1080 = unusable small fonts

unfortunately i have some problems with my new notebook and javafx development.
Whenever i use a webview to display content in my program i'm getting really small and nearly unreadable fonts - now i'm not sure what exactly the problem is:
Is it the new Win8.1 environment which is extremly bad for javaFX (+webView) development, or
Is it the new notebook with 1920x1080 resolution on an 13" display which is way to much for a small screen, or
Is it only a matter of configuration and i've overseen some basics :-)
i would really appreciate every possible suggestion
thanks :)
p.s.: I'm using JDK7 and NetBean 7.4 - i also tried JDK8 but that didn't change anything?!
Apply the WebView fontScaleProperty to scale the text displayed in the WebView.
If you think it's an issue (e.g. the fontScaleProperty should default to some better value for your particular configuration), you might want to also take a screenshot (maybe even a digital photo of the laptop screen), and log an issue in the JavaFX issue tracker.

How can I enable subpixel hinting on JDK7+ on OS X

for some reason any version of Oracle's JDK I am using is using greyscale hinting instead of subpixel. I am noticing this using Netbeans 7.3 and even Dev nightly+JDK 8.
Cfr. these pictures:
JDK 6 on the left, vs JDK 8 on the right (same behavior with JDK 7)
Other example, scaled up here.
How can I force Netbeans to use subpixel hinting? I have even followed the FAQ here, without much luck.
I know that Apple's JDK is fine-tuned for OS X font rendering, but I find also strange that I am getting greyscale hinting instead of subpixel.
Looks like you need to turn on fractional metrics, like this:
g2Image.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_FRACTIONALMETRICS, RenderingHints.VALUE_FRACTIONALMETRICS_ON);
See https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8023794, there's an example program there to test font aliasing as well.
Edit: OpenJDK 9 now supports proper subpixel AA font rendering. See my answer here How to enable LCD subpixel antialiasing in Swing on OS X?
