problem with style of tabs
« on: August 16, 2012, 07:40:52 pm »
Hi,
why codeblocks doesn't use system theme for drawing tabs?
Why it looks like:

instead of something like this (scite):

or this (wxGlade ):


Does cb's tabs really must have it's own specific style? I don't even know which tab is active :/  How can I change it to default system's style? (Even with source code modification)

rev 8229, linux
---
And second issue: some kind of files use other font color:

How to change these font color?


PS. in project's build options tabs are fine.

It does, but it seems your theme is strange.
Posting a link to a place where we can download it and then test C::B with it will be rather helpful.

Tabs without icons looks ok:


I'm currently using Equinox Evolution, but Aurora engine doesn't work too.

Yes, the Aurora theme/engine seems to be broken.

Oh dear... how often do we get such reports due to broken themes. I wonder why all things need to be "themed" these days... guess I'll download one now... ;D

Morten: Because on Linux you can choose.

Well you can choose on Windows, too - but way less people do, as there is no real need I guess, or people like the "standard".

Don't know on linux, but On windows, most programs don't respect correctly theme
and become unusable (write black on default background in dark theme...).
So, personally, I had to customize each application instead of windows theme.

On linux the situation is a bit better, but not by much.

It just brings Zero benefit but much hassle.

Huh, why I didn't notice that theme's engine is broken earlier? ??? I changed theme and everything is ok.
Anyway  thanks for help.

I accidentaly saw dark syntax highlighting theme and I liked it so much that I changed whole system theme to dark one, and now I light themes are to bright for me.

Problem with linux is that you have to much choices ;)
