Create alignment directive
This command allows you to create an alignment directive. The alignment directive will replace a number of useless bytes inserted by the linker to align code and data to paragraph boundary or any other address which is equal to a power of two.
You can select a range to be converted to an alignment directive. If you have selected a range, IDA will try to determine a correct alignment automatically.
There are at least two requirements for this command to work:
there must be enough unexplored bytes at the current address.
an alignment directive must always end at an address which is divisible by a power or two.

Specify instruction representation manually
This command allows you to specify the representation of an instruction or data in the program.
Use it if IDA cannot represent the current instruction as desired. If the instruction itself is ok and only one operand is misrepresented, then use Enter operand manually command.
To delete the manual representation, specify an empty string.
Specify instruction color
This command allows you to specify the background color for the current instruction or data item.
Only GUI version supports different background colors. Specifying a non-defined custom color will reset the instruction color.
Hide/unhide a border
This command allows you to hide a thin border which is like the one generated automatically by IDA between instructions and data. If the border was already hidden, then it is displayed again.
Note that you can hide all borders at once in the Comments Dialog.
