The System.Windows.Forms.FontBrowser is a pretty horrible piece of work. I'd like to write a custom one, but before I re-invent banging-two-rocks-together, I figured I'd ask if anyone knows an intuitive, friendly and above all simple Font Picker which has been proven in the cauldron of the real world?
I agree with you about how terrible is Windows default font browser.
Some time ago I started to search for a replacement fontdialog, but could not find any (even after some days searching).
So I started to develop one in VB.NET, but never got time to finish it.
This article can help you (as it helped me) to identify what a good font dialog should have. Hope this helps you somehow. link.
If you manage to make one, please let me know! I`d love to test and use it :)
EDIT1: This link can help too.

May be stupid question. I created HSPIPluginB1 project from template, it compiles, runs and connects to HS.
But I've got no idea what to do next? How do I create devices, triggers, etc?
Great question. HSPIPluginB is described here. There's some help in the forum thread linked therein, but, for the most part, that HSPI template doesn't do much more to help. Your best bet, for now, is to hunt through the HS developer forum and documentation (https://homeseer.com/developer-support/). Honestly, it's pretty difficult to write a HomeSeer plugin as is, but that's not the fault of the HSPI project.
Fortunately, I'm working on HSPIPluginC. It's significantly easier to understand, but it's not finished. You can get a glimpse of where I'm going with it by checking out https://github.com/alexdresko/HSPI/issues/77#issuecomment-322885054. If anything, there's probably some useful code in there to help you move forward.
If you have any ideas for how HSPI can be made better, please Create an issue or start up a conversation in the chat room
As mentioned on the title, Iv'e just finished making a static website, using - CSS/JQUERY/SLICK/JQUERY/BOOTSTRAP.
And I have no idea what to do or where to start in order to make it responsive, tried google but still feeling confused not sure about where to start...
As for now minimizing the page seems to do nothing but cutting the area been minimized.
Changing the view to phone-view on chrome devtool causing the website to look the same, just extremely small which means you can't really read text or anything without zooming in.
any ideas or guidelines of how to start?... feeling lost which is weird cuz am feeling pretty comfortable with the method mentioned above.
Thanks alot for reading!
Thinking the mobile site after doing the standard one is not a good idea. But you are already at the end of that road and there is no going back now.
Responsiveness mostly works on the CSS side. You cambine media queries to specify which CSS should be used for each screen size, but it also has to do with your content structure. As mentioned in the comments, using rows and columns when designing your site helps doing the mobile site a lot.
I suggest you start reading this if you haven't: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_rwd_intro.asp
And go through each section under the Responsive Web Design section. It should give you a good introduction to help you get started.
I don't know if it's the good place to ask these questions. So if it's not the case sorry for inconvenience.
We are looking for the most adapted tool for our crossplatform mobile project. Before begin to invest time we are testing many crossplatform develeoppement solution ... it's difficult to find the tool where you say Yes it this one !!
Actually we are beginning to test codename one. It looks very promising but we have some doubts and question about features and how we can organize our project :
Do you know if it is possible to separate code and design -> build each "screen of the app" with one xml file to describe components and style and one java class to define behavior and contents(dynamically or not) of these components ?
What about nfc support ? at least for android apps ?
The ui components are not really "sexy" in examples. Do you know if it is possible to load/download or why not buy some more attractive one.
I hope you will be able to answer our questions
Thank you and sorry for my english ...

What about nfc support ? at least for android apps ? see here

The ui components are not really "sexy" in examples.

But overall I would like to suggest you can't get 'that' sexy unless you not try. Don't take it wrong but see the examples submitted by other and what they developed you may get same or more than that if you try.
I hope you will be able to answer Your questions :)
Cheers
First of all I would like to thank everyone on this forum, as you have made some of my friends greatest projects successful and I was hoping one of these projects can be done without them.
Now I want to expand to other services. I want to make an app in WinForms or WPF (But im still learning XAML so if you can it would help to answer for winforms) that constantly updates data and displays pictures or video in a row/rows. Like almost Moviebox for iPhone or Showbox for android. How movies are updated constantly without updating the app. (Im not promting piracy, its just the best example I could think of). And when you click on the movie(Which is a picture) it gives a description and picture and even a youtube video.
It kinda would work like a blog reader.... I think?
I think I will need a server and I will probably need a database. But sadly , i'm still a beginner, but willing to learn. Thanks and if you need any more info, please just ask. :)

i am new to drupal and it is irritating me. i have mastered wordpress and SMF forum software to a near expert level. but drupal as well as joomla have made the admin interfaces so totally confusing i wish there was an answer available for me to use and drop them altogether.
i cant get the slide show to show up on the front page or any other page. i cant find in there a sufficient means of manipulating the content blocks and logging and nav blocks. i am not new to computers and programming, and if this was a programming problem, i probably would have fixed it by now, but the interface is so confusing i cant get the site to do anything im wanting it to do.
i have looked at several tutorials that dont help at all. i found out about a part time job my company is offering and i know for fact i can do it if i can get past the fact that the admin interface is a maze of confusion.
theme demo - http://adaptivethemes.com/demos/atcommerce/
my test - http://tse.myfewclicks.com/drupal/
i beg anyone willing to help. i need to have something presentable, at least a good taste by monday. i could have already been done with it with SMF or wordpress, but they are the wrong type of software for the job.
please help someone.
It would appear that you may have solved your problem. I followed your link and the image rotator was working.
About the only difference was that on the AT demo site I was able to click the dots at the lower right hand corner to select the image I wanted whereas on your test site I was unable to do so.
