Is there a way for a user to reduce the icon size on the activity bar without it effecting the whole editor?
Perhaps similar to how Ubuntu allows the scaling of icons on the dock.
I use the activity bar and it's visual cues far to frequently to hide and unhide it, but it would be nice to reduce it's real-estate usage just a bit.
In VS Code Editor press CTRL+-, this will increase/decrease the size of the entire UI (all icons, text and menu items, etc.).

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.
Im using WindowBuilder tool to build a GUI for my application and I see that some widgets or tools don't get included in the Design view. In my case, I have created a new SWT Application window and I try to add DropDown Menu in the Application window and I always get a red icon when I take the DropDown menu from the palette to the design area. Can anyone tell me what is the problem in this case?
I found the mistake I was doing...It is not possible to directly add a DropDown Menu in the design editor. You first have to add a Menu and then add a DropDown Menu. And the widgets do work in all forms of applications you want to develop.

If you are using command framework to contribute those menu items, you can use org.eclipse.ui.commands.IElementUpdater to change the text and image.
