Updating to TinyMCE 4 - Image Features - tinymce

I have just updated to TinyMCE 4 in our CMS, to be used by a number of different clients.
While it mostly offers new and improved features, the insert image tool feature seems to be lacking compared to the previous version of TinyMCE.
Previously there was 3 tabs of abilities for people to manipulate the image, but now there is no way to alter the title, alignment, border, spacing, adding a class in particular.
I have setup TinyMCE 4 using the image plugin, but wondered if there was anyway to customise the basic initialisation to add these features back in?

Can you help me finding the best method to add long paragraphs in flutter?

I know about html plugins which can be used to add pages of long paragraphs
I also know about flutter codes which can be used to add long paras of texts
But I am not satisfied with both methods..
I am creating a lesson app and want to insert tons of texts and images in a beautifully way...
Can you suggest me any way [better way] to add long texts with keeping eye on the size of the app
I have added screenshots for reference
I'd recommend checking out Zefyr. It's a WYSIWYG that can embed images, display lists and even has collaborative editing capabilities. If you only wanted it for presentation you could make it view only by changing the mode to ZefyrMode.view on the ZefyrEditor constructor.
Edit:
Another more lightweight solution is to use flutter_markdown. It also supports images, lists and so on and doesn't require the special delta format that Zefyr does when storing your strings of text.

Plugin Typo 3 Text box slide open

Are there plugins that achieve the following:
You can add text blocks into a section of a page (left, right, normal,bottom). the text isnt shown ommediately but after clicking the title/header of the text block which slides open the text. I'm in need of such an extension as I want to place much content on a site without throwing the whole text on a viewer. There seem not to ve any available.
By default TYPO3 doesn't force any particular frontend library so probably you won't find such ext (maybe somebody created extension like this but for 99% it will be required to fit it tou your needs)
Instead there are generic extensions like Grid Elements or Dynamic Content Elements (DCE) - you can use it to predefine your custom HTML structures and then reuse them easily (no need for advanced PHP programming of your own plugins).
So finally you can combine them with dedicated JS libs for frontend i.e. Bootstrap and its Accordion Collapse
If you use TYPO3 6.2 or higher have a look at df_contentslide. After install you'll find another section under appearance in CEs. Now you can slide every content element. It is easy to use and with little knowledge also easy to style.

How to create some custom box into a Typo3 web page?

I am very new in Typo3 world (I came from Joomla and WordPress) and I have some doubts related a thing that has been requested by a customer that use Typo3 for its site
He ask me to create some colored boxes into a specific page. Each of these boxes simply must contain text or links.
How can I do this?
I am thinking that I can solve in the following way (but I have not idea if this is a GOOD solution):
In the backend I go in the Page section and I open the settings related to the page that I have to modify
Here I have 3 columns (Left, Normal, Right) and for example I add a NEW Regular Text Element into this central column
Now appear to me the wysiwyg editor, so I click on the Toggle text mode icon and I pass from the wysiwyg mode to the pure HTML editor's mode and now I will create some div tags (settings the CSS settings for the background color and the dimension) that rappresent my boxes (and into these div I put their textual contents).
Is it a possible solution or is it a bad solution?
Tnx
Andrea
You may either use the RTE typoscript config to add some new paragraph styles, which will make the boxes or use the section_frame field in tt_content, a field called "frame" in the backend when you edit a content record. Both solutions would just need some typoscript (which you will deal with very often in the TYPO3 world) and CSS code.
If you need some more structure in the backend, there is also an extension for that called multicolumn. If you just need "more" columns in the backend (in combination with backend layouts) to achieve different looks, this can also be done by adding some typoscript config. To give you a more precise recommendation, some sort of scribble or design screenshot of what you want would be nice.

Allowing a user to resize a GWT TextArea using "gripper bars"

I am currently trying to replicate the functionality of the Sticky application (fourth example under "samples") in my GWT application, specifically NoteView (see the class NoteView in SurfaceView.java in my personal repo or download Google App Engine's SDK, where you'll find it in appengine-java-sdk-1.5.1/demos/sticky).
However, as hard as I try, I just cannot find the place where Google put in the gripper bars on the bottom right hand corner of every note, and where their code allowed the user to resize the note. grepping for "resize" and "resizable" in their sticky dir was not fruitful, and the CSS "resize" functionality was not used either. Also, GWT Textareas are not automatically resizable in the way that these notes in GWT are, and I don't know how to enable this or set it up.
I'm sorry but it really just is a textarea, and your browser does the rest (most browsers make textareas resizable nowadays).
Using Firebug or a similar developer tool, can you tell which differences are there between the Sticky sample and what your code does?
I figured it out -- it was old crud css left over from a gxt implementation. As soon as I removed the css file, the textarea automatically had gripper bars.

Styling <select> tag for iPhone

When a <select> tag is used in a HTML page, is there a way to style the text size in
the scroll wheel that shows on the iPhone?
There is this alternative.
http://cubiq.org/spinning-wheel-on-webkit-for-iphone-ipod-touch
It uses javascript to put the elements on the page.. I used it for a web/ iphone app and it worked really well. There would be custom styling if you wanted to change the default text sizes and you could also load in custom images..
I don't believe you can style the wheel that shows up on the iPhone directly. In fact, even modifying it in browsers has weird support. For example, http://jsbin.com/obake3 doesn't work at all in Chrome, only modifies the actual drop down in Safari and stretches the graphic in a very ugly way in Firefox.
We investigated and couldn't find any reliable way of altering the display so we looked into different libraries. We're having good luck with the Mobiscroll library for jQuery. It is a more up to date project than the cubiq project referred to in other responses.
The control is themable. You can easily change the appearance of if in CSS. It also comes with pre-defined, nice looking color schemes.
We chose it because it works across devices allowing for a more consistent look & feel.
Taken from Sitepoint Ref
The select renders slightly differently depending on the browser and operating system in use, and is well known as a troublesome HTML element to style with CSS (because the display is inherited from the operating system, rather than provided by the browser)
