How to adjust the focus highlight of window frames in Byobu? - byobu

The focus frame is the orange frame that shows you which window you currently have active.
Im currently setting up Byobu and i want to make the focus frames thinner as i find them a bit distracting in the current, default form.
I've searched the documentation and looked in the config files, but i was not able to find any settings for it.
Running on Ubuntu 16.04, byobu version 5.106,
tmux 2.1
Please see picture (I'm not allowed to embed, so it will be attached).

Google Chrome disable window animations

After updating to Chrome 58 I noticed a new "zoom-fade" effect when restoring a minimized window, or opening a new window (Ctrl+N). This feels very unnecessary, and - in my desktop environment - totally out of place.
Is there a way to permanently disable all window animation effects?
You can disable the animation by adding the --wm-window-animations-disabled command-line flag.
For Linux/Ubuntu you can make this permanent by editing the Chrome shortcut at /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop. There are 3 Exec= lines where you will need to add --wm-window-animations-disabled immediately after the executable name.
If you find that this is no longer working, re-check your shortcuts as some Chrome updates (via a package manager) could have overwritten the shortcut(s), so you may need to re-edit them.
There's easy way to get rid of those animations everywhere & permanently under Linux.
Here's an example for Ubuntu:
sudo nano /etc/chromium-browser/customizations/dis_wm-window-anim
(on Debian its /etc/chromium.d/dis_wm-window-anim)
then
CHROMIUM_FLAGS="${CHROMIUM_FLAGS} --wm-window-animations-disabled"
Ctrl+x -> y -> "enter"
go to developer tools and then click top right menu click More tools and then click Animation
in top and left of Animation Tab you can see play and pause button by click on it you can stop and play animation

Why does big black box appear over my GRUB2 theme when booting?

I have created a GRUB2 theme, which gives me a screen like this:
But when I select one of the items to boot, before it boots, for about 5 seconds, it writes a big black box over the screen, like this:
Where is this black box coming from? It is clearly bigger than the menu box - is there some way I can stop it from appearing?
The files for the alien theme can be found on GitHub here:
https://github.com/edhartnett/alien_theme
Turns out that the big black box cannot easily be turned off.
It is the terminal-box, an area for text messages to appear. The theme and user have no control over it or its appearance.
There is reportedly a patch that can help, located here:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:12.3:Update/grub2/grub2-enable-theme-for-terminal-window.patch?expand=1
The patch was removed from GRUB2. You can review this bug report for reason why it was removed:
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=776244
I have not tried this patch or tried looking at the GRUB2 source code.
You can create a modified version of your background image and stick it in the terminal box for a seamless image, other than a tiny box outline:
For most users, the box will displays the messages:
Loading Linux %s ..." ${version}
Loading initial ramdisk...
For even more messages in the box (it's kind of neat), edit /etc/default/grub file find the line containing LINUX and remove quiet splash from the parameters. Save the file and run sudo update-grub.
Notes on recorded image
I attempted to use a cellphone with tripod but auto-exposure and auto-focus made it hopeless.
Then I installed VirtualBox 5.1 on Ubuntu 16.04 and used Video Capture. Unfortunately I had to scale grub down from 1920x1080 to 1024x768 for VB to work properly. As such the image is skewed in Virtualbox and you don't see the perfect fit that my normal grub boot has.
Edit your regular background image, cut most of the right side, repaste it shifted left and up. Save it as the modified background image.
In /etc/default/grub add the line GRUB_BACKGROUND= with the modified image location and name.
You might have to modify /etc/grub.d/00_header as per this thread. I did this on my machine.
The sample grub image is missing bootup messages because Virtualbox is intercepting and hiding them.

Cursor not showing in Device Mode (Google Chrome)

So I'm trying to develop a webapplication and I'm trying to check it out on mobile.
I'm currently using Cordova and JQuery Mobile together with ripple.js to view my application in my browser.
The first issue (as far as I know) is that ripple.js will work best in Google Chrome, so this is my only test platform.
The second issue is that when I toggle Device Mode on, it doesn't show me the black dot (cursor) when I enter the rendered version.
I'll explain my situation or a scenario:
As an example I'll go to http://google.com
I press F12 to enter developer mode
I click the Toggle Device Mode button
I will see my cursor, until I enter the generated mobile canvas. While I would normally see a black transparant dot, I now see nothing.
I can however click and drag like I would normally do, but I can't see what I'm doing.
The things I already tried:
Reset all the flags back to default
Reset all developer tool settings to default
(edit) Installed a previous version of Chrome AND Chromium
So question is, how do I get my cursor back?
Extra: I'm using version 49.0.2623.87 m, but that's not related since my co-worker, has the same version and he sees the cursor.
(edit) currently I'm using the mouse option where I press Ctrl to see the circle which indicates where my cursor is, but this really has to be a temp solution.
(edit) I fixed it by doing a combination of things. So I'm not sure which exact thing fixed it. I removed a few programs that I installed after it still worked. I uninstalled about 4 of them. Also I did an update of my graphics card and then did a reboot. So it could be either the graphics card update, the software uninstall and/or the reboot.
I had the same issue. (note this question might be a duplicate of this one)
Following the advice on the Chrome forum here I changed the Quantization Range in my Intel HD Graphics Control Panel from "Default Range" to "Full Range". The touch pointer (grey circle) appeared immediately.
If that doesn't help you may have to change refresh rate too. Changing from 59p Hz to 60p Hz or some other refresh rate might help.
This should also help.
Open the mouse control panel.
Select the Pointer Options tab in the Mouse Properties window.
Then enable Display pointer trails option.
In case you don't like or are getting annoyed, like me, due to the trailer. Move the slider to the Short position and the trailer becomes near to non-existent or invisible.
I fixed it myself, yet I'm not exactly sure how I did it. I edited my original post and added the solution in the last paragraph.
Had the same on my Asus laptop with Chrome 66
Resolution that worked for me
Graphics Control Panel > Display > General Settings > Scaling > Change to Scale full screen.
OFF your Asus Eye Care Switcher.
I am posting this as answer because above mentioned answer didn't work for me but I had this issue when I had a monitor attached to my laptop, for development work. I played around with my display settings and discovered that IF the scale on my second monitor did not match the scale on my laptop, the mobile development mode cursor would disappear. (windows 10)
If this is an issue for anyone just go into Display settings -> Display -> Scale and Layout --> make sure that both your laptop/desktop matches the display scale of your second monitor.
Hope this will help.

Right click shows black box in Chrome on Linux

I've been using chrome for about a year steady. About a month back two weird behaviors happened. When I right click anywhere I get a black box. If I remember what the choices are in the box, I can use the arrow keys to select and it works.
The second problem is that when I mouse over anything, I don't get the tool tip text, I get some graphic display that looks like a very tiny version of some distorted text or graphics

Eclipse SWT how to disable "fullscreen" on Shell on MacOS 10.10 Yosemite

There are a lot of answered questions about how to disable resize (which I already did), but the new feature that Apple added, to expand the dialog (little green dot with arrows pointing up-right and down-left). This button is always enabled, despite various options that I tried, like
SWT.DIALOG_TRIM,
SWT.CLOSE | SWT.TITLE
SWT.CLOSE
...
What is the correct style that I have to apply to the Shell constructor, in order to get the "expand" (or whatever this action is called) on MacOS 10.10 to be disabled?
Edit: this link helped me, I used the common code for Windows and Mac, and just as a note, the "Field" and the "Method" objects needs to be imported from java.lang.reflect package.
For a pop-up dialog
SWT.DIALOG_TRIM | SWT.APPLICATION_MODAL
(the default for a non-resizable Dialog) disables the green dot.
For the main application Shell I am not sure that you can control this with flags, although you may be able to use Mac specific code as mentioned in this question.
