How do I use Chrome Web Developer to examine tipsy hover overs? - google-chrome-devtools

I am trying to inspect the div element that appears for Tipsy hover-overs on this page in order to change the width of the popup.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1531353/Misc/Docudocker/setups/tipsyCrashingApplication/force-html.html
However, when I press Shift+Ctrl+C, and then move my mouse to the Developer Elements panel, the Tipsy hover-over disappears, so I can't examine it any more.
How do I examine an element that only appears upon a hover-over effect in Chrome Web Developer?

I am using Win 7. I used firebug & it showed that tooltips were using the tipsy.css try to navigate to your tipsy css & change the width attrib though i couldnt get the bottom part of the tooltip in right shape. Hope it helps

How to find grid badge when debugging gird layout in google chrome browser developer tools?

I'm learning to debug grid layout. Here is the article about it: https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/css/grid
Here what says Chrome DevTools guide.
The issues comes on the very first stage - I cannot find grid badge on my Elements panel in DevTools.
I've already checked on Windows and MacOS, I seems like it's not connected to OS.
Does anybody know how to turn it on?
Maybe I need to change my browser settings?
I had the same problem and fixed it by chance by doing this:
Open DevTools settings
On Preferences go to the Elements section
I had all selected, except Show rulers and Show agent shadow DOM so I selected them too.
It worked! The Grid label started to appear on grid elements and could on Elements
The thing is that I deselected again Show rulers and Show agent shadow DOM to discard which of them was the one that activated the Grid label but then the Grid label didn't disappear. That's why I said I fixed it by chance.

Page down/up when clicking in the VSCode scrollbar

Is there a setting to change the click behavior in the scrollbar to page up/down instead of jumping to the location in the file? This is the usual scrollbar behavior in almost every other applications except maybe unix applications.
A suggestion could be:
Left click: page up/down
Right click: jump to location
There is a setting for this now:
Editor: Scroll by Page
Controls whether clicks scrolls by page or
jumps to click position.
With that setting enabled, the editor will scroll by one viewport page when clicking anywhere above or below the scrollThumb. With it not enabled (the default) it will scroll to the position in the scroll track where you clicked.
This behavior does not currently exist. I suggest opening a feature request on github.
If, like me, you've been brought to this page despite putting "Visual Studio" into your web search, you can modify this behaviour in the full blown Visual Studio as follows:
Tools > Options > Text Editor > All Languages > Scroll Bars
Under "Behavior", toggle between bar mode and map mode
More information can be found by reading the Microsoft Docs for this feature.

Can't find background image

I might be a bit dumb or something, but I just can't find the background image of the site:
http://www.deineschatzkammer.com
Can anyone find it or tell me how to find it easily? I have searched now with the Chrome DevTools and Firebug and searched the code for GIFs, JPGs and PNGs... :(
It is very easy to find the background image. Here are three solutions how to find it using Firebug (it works similar in the Chrome and Firefox DevTools):
Via the CSS panel
Switch to the CSS panel.
Type jpg into the search field.
Hover the matched url(...) to see a preview of the image.
If it's not the right one, hit Enter and repeat step 3.
Via the HTML panel
Right-click the background image and choose Inspect Element with Firebug from the context menu to see the element within the HTML panel.
Switch to the Style side panel.
Check whether one of the rules contains a background-image property.
If there isn't a background-image property containing the related image, this means the element containing the image is overlayed by the one you just inspected. So delete the element by pressing Del on the selected element or right-clicking it and choosing Delete Element from the context menu. Then repeat step 3.
Via the Net panel
Enable and switch to the Net panel.
Reload the page.
Click on the Images filter.
Hover over each listed image to find the one you're searching for.

How to find selectors for elements in the Chrome Web Inspector

I found a custom theme for my chrome web inspector but I need to make some small changes. Where do you find the selectors for the elements in the web inspector?
In the picture below I am trying to make the expand arrow white so you can see it against the background:
DevTools front end is an HTML page, so you can inspect its elements/layout via another instance of devtools. To do so, undock devtools, focus on its window and hit Ctrl-Shift-I (or Cmd-Opt-I on mac).

Is there a way to search/filter properties in Styles pane of Google Devtools?

On the Elements tab 'Find' functionality (cmd+F/ctrl+F) doesn't search through styles pane. Is there a way to type CSS property with HTML element selected and find it quickly in the Styles panel?
Bottom right corner, light gray text says "Find in styles". Click there and enter your search.
Unfortunately, such functionality does not exist in current Chrome Dev Tools.
But its present in Opera Dragonfly and its very handy, so, probably Chrome will copy it, eventually (but no such feature request exists in bug tracker now).
On the latest Chrome on Mac, I'm getting the filter at the top of the styles pane. I can't believe that I never noticed it given that I've needed it so many times!
Try using CTRL+Shif+F on the Elements tab
