Apply starter kit Umbraco7 - umbraco

Migth sound silly but I just started with Umbraco and I am trying to apply a starter kit to my first test page, but I can't find how to do it. How can I apply a starter kit for Umbraco 7?
Thank you.

When you are installing Umbraco there is a link which says "Customize" next to some green button, can't remember exactly where (might be the bit where you type your login credentials in). Its easy to miss as you can be drawn to the button that says something along the lines of "GO".

How do I make my AndroidManifest.xml editable again?

I'm developing my first apps in Android Studio (3.1.2) and I've managed to complicate my life by making my AndroidManifest.xml file read-only in one of my projects. When I click on it in the Project view, it comes up as two panes side by side, neither of which is the view I'm used to from my other projects; the view on the right says "Merging Log Value provided by Gradle"; the view on the left only allows me to DELETE lines of the manifest but I want to add some lines. I assume these views are useful to someone but they aren't to me at the moment. I'm just trying to do a straight-forward edit on the file and I can't find any option to make it appear in the editable way that I'm used to from other projects. I think I must have clicked on something somewhere in the Android Studio GUI that caused this problem but I'm darned if I know what I did.
If someone could tell me how to make the file editable again, I'd be grateful for your guidance. Bonus points if you tell me how I messed myself up so that I can avoid doing it in the future!
It turns out this was very easily solved. I just noticed that there are TWO tabs available when you look at a manifest.xml and I was in the "merged manifest" tab. As soon as I clicked on the "text" tab, my manifest.xml file appeared in its normal fully-editable form.
I must have clicked on Merged Manifest - although I don't remember doing so! - and then simply not seen the tab again until just now.
My insomnia's been pretty bad this week so I'm going to chalk this up to that. :-)
Anyway, I'm just going to leave this question and answer here in case it helps someone else some time in the future.

What would be the best way to create a firefox plugin for taking desktop screenshots?

I need to create a firefox plugin that allows a user to take screenshots of any part of their desktop and have them uploaded to a server. There seems to be lots of plugins for screen capturing a webpage, but nothing for capturing anything outside of firefox. So after a little research I have not found much information on how this might be possible. I don't want to resort to a using a java applet but I will if that is my only option.
Does anyone have advice on how I might create such a feature?
Thanks
I don't think a Firefox addon is the most appropriate approach here. Maybe split the task into a Firefox addon to offer the "upload to a server" component and a native app to do the desktop screenshot (or just integrate with existing screenshot tools).
If you're worried about complicating the installation process for end users, you could look into bundling the addon component and native app into a single installer (e.g. MSI on Windows, RPM on Linux, etc.). You'll have to come up with different apps for each platform you want to support (and maybe even each version - e.g. Windows XP vs Windows 10).
Whatever you decide, you'll probably need to create a more specific question to get further help here (there's no simple Firefox.Addons.API.TakeScreenShot() answer I'm afraid).
Also make sure you're using the right terminology - a plugin is the deprecated NPAPI approach whereas addons are still supported.
I'm actually working on taking native desktop screenshots just in the last coupel of days. I'm using js-ctypes. My work goal is the same exact thing to, upload to server. If you would like to collaborate I am very open to it! We can chat about it on #jsctypes irc channel :) irc://moznet/jsctypes (Mibbit IRC WebApp) If you don't know js-ctypes thats ok i can handle that while you can handle uploading techniques, and an editor on canvas :) The editor is a huge part of it, you can see my ideas/plans here: https://github.com/Noitidart/NativeShot/wiki/NativeShot
I'm really really interested in a collab on this!
I'm still working on windows right now, the color is messed up: https://github.com/Noitidart/NativeShot/tree/digitanks-method
I was just about to start OSX work following this example here: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/samplecode/SonOfGrab/Introduction/Intro.html and here: Take ScreenShot without Window
You can install the addon from that branch and click the icon that gets added to the toolbar, it will take a screenshot with 3sec delay and then append it to the body of the selected tab. (Windows only right now)
Doneskis baby check it out: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nativeshot/
Got some quirks. Released it as v1.0 though. I'm working on Android support, pretty close. I need to flesh out the editor tools. Please let me know if you're willing to collaborate.

Building a Firefox add on

after I managed to create an add on for Chrome browser (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13686561/chrome-addon-with-my-server-interaction),
my next target is to do the same for Firefox.
I see this is harder to do or there arent many good tutorials for begginers.
What Im asking is good step by step tutorials in order to understand the workflow for FF.
Thank you again for reading me!
Take a look to Add-on SDK. Here the documentation, and you can also download it from Github.
I would say that the Getting Started section of Add-on SDK docs is a good place to start your reading.
You can also join the IRC channel #jetpack on irc.mozilla.org and ask help directly to the SDK team, if you have any doubt!

Creating menus in browser menubar from Add-on SDK extension

I am building a simple Firefox extension using the Add-on SDK 1.0.
Scouring the docs and googling a lot, I couldn't find a way to create a simple menu under the browser's tools menu. Add-on SDK has a context-menu module, which (obviously) only handles the page context menus, which is not what I'm after. Is it that Add-on SDK does not have a module for this yet? If so, I believe I have access to all the firefox's XPCOM API in the Add-on SDK extension, but I can't figure out how to use this and create a simple menu entry under the tools menu.
Any pointers on how I might do this?
(BTW, not sure about the tags of this question, please correct if you feel so)
I wrote a module called menuitems which can be used to easily add a single menuitem to any of the normal menu bar items. It's on github here.
I haven't had the time to write docs yet, but you can find an example here, and the example is on AMO here.
I'll blog about it one of these days..

Online programming editor

For a school project i need to write or use a online programming editor. It is a part of a bigger project. I thought of a java application, php/html/javascript or flash.
I have a couple of things i could do:
Find a good working application and edit it so it works with the rest of the project
Find good parts for a editor and make it working my self (syntax highlighter, auto-indent, autocompletion, etc.)
Combination of those two
Does anybody know a good editor or have tips for this project or a editor?
Thanks for reading,
Leon
For the syntax highlighting and basic editing part, check out my recent question Textarea that can do syntax highlighting on the fly?
Solutions presented there:
CodeMirror
Bespin (Mozilla only, but great)
For the rest - autocompletion etc. - ... Check out the Wikipedia article Comparison of JavaScript-based source code editors
Interested to see what other suggestions come up.
Bespin comes to mind. Though it might be too bleeding edge, depending on how the rest of the project is built/meant to be used (but hey, programmers love bleeding edge).
If you decide to use PHP/HTML/CSS/JavaScript, see GeSHi for syntax highlighting.
I have a side project developed with ACE.
It connects to your server through SFTP and allows you to create new files,read and edit all from your browser with your file tree at sidebar.
Demo at TePe
Code at Github Repo
I found Cobalah Editor it's also built on CodeMirror but with some customization. There are some themes available we can set, increase or decrease font size.
