The problem is that, for instance, if i want to create a new project from a plugin-wizard and there are 5 selectable voices, the fifth voice isn't either visible or selectable.
I'm working on fedora-20.
There are solutions to make visible and selectable this kind of voices?
Your desktop resolution is too small. These wizards aren't designed for low resolution. The main composite of the wizards is not automatically scrollable and that's why you cannot see the other options.
Try to change the window appearance of fedora. Changing the font size of GNOME/KDE might solve the problem.

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.
I'm starting to play with UnityEditor, surely a good idea !
The trick is that the UI font sizes are deseperately too small for my eyes, so I need to play with desktop zoom... hmm, this is boring in fact !
Is there a scripting / skining or theming way to increase slightly font sizes of the Unity Editor UI
Thanks in advance.
Still under review, over 5000 votes though, so you are not alone!
It's going back to 2011 when first reported.

If you're on Windows, you could always use this:
You can change the Unity's Editor UI Scaling independent of Windows (or ths OS u use...)Scale:
Go to Edit/Preferences/UI Scaling.
2.On UI Scaling options disable or uncheck the option "Use default desktop setting", this enable the dropdown list option called "Use custom scaling value".
Finally, select the percentage scale from the options in the dropdown you want to set for you Unity UI...
Enjoy bigger Unity UI...

As per the solution provided in this SO thread we can get back some screen real estate from Eclipse.
However, when working with multiple editor tabs (e.g. in a quadrant layout) the ever present horizontal scrollbars (even when there is no text extending beyond viewing area!) are a waste of valuable coding space, not to mention, hideous.
Have tried various CSS hacks in eclipse default_gtk.css (on Linux here) all to no avail; it appears that the ScrollBar widget is not modifiable via CSS.
This bug thread on saving space in Eclipse indicates something is in the works for Luna, but the developers seem split, some not caring about scrollbars or any wasted space (assuming everyone has huge monitors), and others preferring a clean and lean UI.
Anyway, if anyone has leads for how to hide scrollbars in Eclipse >= 4.2, do chime in! It's IMO the missing UI "feature" of Eclipse as you can strip out everything else, almost have max screen real estate available for code...just these damn scrollbars o_O
I think this does depend a lot on what the native controls used by SWT support. On the Mac, for example, scroll bars are not displayed.
If the SWT control on Linux supports turning off the scroll bars it should be possible to write a CSS property handler to set it. I do something similar on the Mac to set the scroll bar 'knob style' for trees and tables.
See my any answer to this question which shows how to write a CSS property handler in a plugin for StyledText which could be adapted.
Recently I have got a new 22" monitor. Finally it's possible to keep all needed windows in Eclipse open while having the main editor window wide enough to display all 120 columns. Problem now is when I wide up or narrow down windows on the left or right side of the editor. Editor's width narrows down or wides up. I'd like to set its width fixed to some value and let the other windows 'breathe' in width.
Take a look at the illustration.
You should rather use detached views, that way your main editor is not affected by the other windows resize operations.
(source: eclipse.org)
Either that, or use fast views, which minimises the views down to an icon that can be conveniently popped up when you need to use them. This is especially handy for things like the JUnit test view, as suggested by the JUnit Eclipse documentation

Normally Eclipse 'File Compare' compares files in vertical panels like:
Is there a way I can compare them horizontally like:
Compare using Horizontal Panel http://www.sqlservertool.com/images/ad_hex_diff_small.gif
Its too tiring to scroll everytime to see what was changed!!
Thx
Looking at the code of org.eclipse.comparator.internal.CompareEditor (which is the name of the class of the editor illustrated in your question), I do not see any indication of a different "orientation" (horizontal layout vs. vertical layout)
So, no. I do not think the current implementation allows you to compare files with a different layout.
I'm afraid VonC is right that the current implementation doesn't support changing the layout, but there is a bug open for it so you can either provide a patch or ping guys from Eclipse Workspace Team (including me :) and ask them to fix it for you ;)
I guess Robert was referring to Select Next/Previous Change/Difference buttons (see section Toolbar in Eclipse Help).
If your problem is scrolling, use the toolbar buttons to navigate between changes.
One way to overcome your problem is to Maximize editor window during file compare, and then Restore it after compares are done. I wish Eclipse did it by default.
As to the question of orientation. I think it's more readable when you compare revisions side-by-side. That's probably why Eclipse authors did not give us an option of horizontal layout. What they could have given us were a line diff at the current cursor position.
