i've got 1024x600 resolution and cant afford a lot of windows opened in NetBeans.
Is there a way to display only icons in window title?
For example:
Icon1 Projects
Icon2 Files
Icon3 Services
...
Can it be like:
Icon1
Icon2
Icon3
?
Probably not. You may want to start NetBeans with --fontsize 10 or similar to save space. Also change toolbar to use small icons (right click in empty toolbar area to display its menu) or completely hide all its components. If I remember correctly they may have been a special switch to merge menu and toolbar to save space but you would have to scan sources and it is likely broken now.

Install4j is a great installer to work with. But i found some limitation for it and also it works differently on different platform OS.Right now i am working on Windows OS. Below are my queries .Please suggest some good solution.
1)I want to customize the install4j window. By default it corner shaped, i want it to be round edged at corners. How can i customize this window ie. changing shapes, changing the opacity, color, etc.
2)In directory chooser can we customize the the "Browse" button. I want to add image to the button matching to our theme.Is there any way to do that?
3)When i disable the "minimize" option for installer ,it is not clickable but still shows the disable icon.Can we make it disappear that?It works on CentOS but on windows it still shows the icon.
4)Can we customize title bar?
In install4j 8.x, no window customizations are supported and it is also not possible to set an icon for the file chooser button.
Here my eclipse window. I want to save all these space in order to gain vertical visibility (for my text editor). And I am unable to find the way to do it.
I'm pretty sure you cannot disable either status bar nor toolbar. There is kind of solution though:
You can open a file and drag its tab with file name outside of eclipse window so it is detached from the main eclipse window. Then you can maximize this window and look on the code in kind of full-screen mode.
Haven't found an option in the IDE to hide it, are there any configuration files that would do it? I never use it, and in my effort to optimize screen space with multiple tab groups, this would save me some pixels. :-P
Here's the bar in question:

I believe you are referring to the Diff Sidebar. To remove this use the menu item located at View > Show Diff Sidebar. This menu item is a toggled menu item so when it is active there is a check beside it.
I would find it much easier if the tabs show which files are in the Editor were stacked vertically rather than horizontally. Stacked horizontally means that you run out of room to display file names very fast and makes switching between files time consuming.
Is there an option or a plugin to display the files vertically? (Similar to navigator, but for open files instead of project files) I can't seem to find one.
tabs can not be stacked vertically. However, CTRL+E (⌘+E on mac) might give you some relief.
Eclipse 3.8
CTRL+G brings up an Editors dialog as shown in this screen capture:
Eclipse 4.3
CTRL+E brings up the pop-up shown in this screen capture:
With ctrl+shift+e you can open an extra window that show you the open tabs vertically.
EditorViewer is very good
The project is dead, but it works fine with Eclipse 3.7. Just drop the .jar file in the dropins folder
http://sourceforge.net/projects/editorviewer/?source=dlp
Another command is CTRL+F6 not entirely like the other ones but great to switch between your two most recent tabs. And you also get a list of open tabs like the other examples.
you can always drag windows over each other to tile them vertically but if you see a ">>" at the end of the tabs clicking on it gives a file list which are open.
None that I know of, but there are some other tipps to make life a little easier:
1) Use Mylyn, which filters the Explorer-Views so only relevant files are shown there.
2) Have a look at "Extended VS Presentation" http://andrei.gmxhome.de/skins/index.html . This little plugin adds some useful features to reduce waste of screenspace. With it you can hide the file extension in editor tabs or limit the size of each tab and reduce the padding. Then you can remove the X and close tabs with a middle click. Each just a small saving, but they add up.
For newer versions of Eclipse, there is a plugin Open Editors which adds a view listing all open editors.
Finally a true relief!

Install dragging the "install" button from
https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/vertical-tab-list
to show it
"window / show view / browsing / editors list"
On its internal menu I selected too: Sort by ext+name
Now I just need a way to hide the top tabs list and it will become perfect!
I'm diving into iOS development and I'm using Xcode on a multi-monitor setup.
Obviously I want to take advantage of the multiple monitors to view and edit multiple panes of source code, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to enable vertical split views. In other IDEs, it's just an option you click in the "Window" menu.
How do I enable vertical split views in Xcode?
Xcode 4
Check out the options in the Navigate file menu item. I like Command+J. Also, while the Editor is active, i.e., you're editing code or your cursor is blinking in the Editor, press Command+Option+,. Or, you can Option-click (or Option+Shift-click) a file in the Navigator. Then, to make more room for editing, I like to press Command+0 to hide the Navigator and, if they're not already hidden, Command+Option+0 to hide the Utilities. Press Command+Enter to go back to the Standard Editor view.
Xcode 3
Hold down alt and click the little tiny box (with a horizontal line through it) in the upper-right-hand corner of the screen. It's underneath the tiny little lock icon.
Xcode 9 for those coming from a search engine:
Click and hold on the Assistant Editor button for an options menu. Choosing "Assistant Editors on Right" will cause the view to be split vertically.
This has changed in Xcode 12, maybe earlier. All my Option-Clicks go to open second view appearing below rather than size by side. The solution is to go to Views -> Change Editor Orientation
respect to mattdipasquale
Command+J --------Check out the options in the Navigate file menu item
Command+Option+,------editing code or your cursor is blinking in the Editor
Option-click (or Option+Shift-click)------open a file in the Navigator
Command+Enter----------reset
Use the dropdown on the split icon to choose between different views
For Xcode 14 you just have to click this icon:
