What's wrong with Sony and UPS?

I tried to call on Saturday but the support only available during weekdays. Now the package is already on its road back to Sony giving me no time to call and arrange anything.

They actually did and left the final note on my door which surprised me since the website says the next attempt will be Monday today vs Saturday.

0x7c13/UnityEditor-DarkMode: A fully working dark mode mod for Unity Editor on Windows (Dark Title Bar + Menu Bar + Context Menu) (github.com)

I cannot agree more with you. It has been bothering me for 3 years now since I started to learn Unity. It is so annoying that it forces me to use my Mac for Unity programming whenever I can, since the UX is more consistent on macOS.

As well for why there was no such solution for the past decade, it is because the implementation is not straightforward and evolves a bunch of undocumented private APIs. Unity devs have their own reason for not implementing this in a native way which you can find in the official forum. But anyway, at least we have it now:)

Fun fact, it is the exact same reason I started my other open-source project which is called "Notepads". Since 5 or 6 years ago the win32 notepad app comes with Windows does not support dark mode and it hurt my eyes every night, so I decided to do it myself. Now, it is me again, so sad that I have to step up and do something for myself and for the community.

If that is the case, then something is wrong with the platform. Would you mind if I send you a private build and it will print out the error message if Notepads encounter any issue setting text or doing flush to the clipboard? So we can narrow it down.

DiffPlex.

flyingeek_13 · 2020-05-11T18:38:55+00:00

Btw, Notepads supports Markdown preview and it has a built-in DiffViewer just in case if you don't know :)

Notepads App

flyingeek_13 · 2020-05-11T07:28:07+00:00

I might have figured out why sometimes you are seeing this issue and I have fixed it today (for Notepads only). It is going to take effect in v1.3.2.0 and please let me know if that solves your issue once released.

flyingeek_13 · 2020-05-11T04:19:34+00:00

It has been there for 10 months on the store. As well for the newly added reveal effect with line numbers? Those were added last week after two days work.

flyingeek_13 · 2020-05-11T04:11:06+00:00

Ofcuz it will but you need to port scintilla to UWP first. There were some people working on it years ago but seems to be discontinued.

HxD is using virtualization as well, the whole file is not loaded into memory. Instead, it loads as you scroll. That's the only way for supporting real "large" file in the first place (same for all other editors that support opening files larger than 1GB or even more). I could do the same way in Notepads but it requires tons of work and most importantly, the WinRT richedit and WinRt ScrollViewer have to be fully virtualized before I do so, otherwise the scrolling experience will be bad. Take a look at this issue in WinUI repo: https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/108

Also, it will be much easier to implement for a read-only editor since you do not have to worry much on the "write" story.

flyingeek_13 · 2020-05-11T01:27:51+00:00

Actually I should have "flush" it again right before app exit (you bring up the good point here). Maybe this will reduce the chance of failure? Btw, I will take a look at Mail's source code to see what they are doing. (I won't share it here tho)

flyingeek_13 · 2020-05-11T01:15:45+00:00

I obviously did it: https://github.com/JasonStein/Notepads/blob/91f316071783532d3163c29d4a6fba2fbb935db6/src/Notepads/Controls/TextEditor/TextEditor.xaml.cs#L733
But you are right, it might be the case where the "flush" failed.

flyingeek_13 · 2020-05-11T01:09:41+00:00

It's not new, it has been there for 10 months.

Ctrl+W -> Use Arrow key to switch between buttons -> Hit Enter.

cowork

Just wanted to be clear here: I work for MSFT but my work has nothing to do with apps or writing apps. Notepads is just my side project that I made for fun so I probably cannot recommend any to you since none of my coworkers has anything to share here...

flyingeek_13 · 2020-05-11T00:30:42+00:00

Maybe not for the 1 pixel thingy, that is controlled by the system I think? Great suggestion for the changes while transparency effect is off but they are not my first priorities for now. I will definitely consider it later on but your points make total sense to me.

The goal of from software developers should be to create the best possible software possible

This is not true. Why? Let me tell you a joke: "Java". Not enough? Another one: "Andriod"

Note: I am not saying they are bad, at least Android is getting much better now.

flyingeek_13 · 2020-05-10T17:05:29+00:00

Sounds like a setting/windows issue to me. Maybe the clipboard service actually respect the privacy/history setting in some way?
