Skin support for C::B
« on: October 10, 2016, 02:22:13 pm »
Hello all,

First time here, so please bear with me if this question has been discussed before. I didn't find anything related using search tool on the forum neither using google.

One of the things you get used so fast when you develop 8-10 h/day using the usual tools (ie, VS, Sublime etc) is the dark skin support. Once you get used to it, it's difficult to switch to any editor or IDE without a dark theme.

I found some posts about changing the editor colors to get a dark background and compatible syntax highlighting, but not for the project tree or tabs/toolbar/menus (found also the wiki page).

So the question is, is there any plan for adding somewhat official support for this kind of functionality in C::B?

I did a small research ofr skin support on wxWidgets and found the wxUniversal rendering mode, that allows custom rendering in wxGtk and wxMSW, but I dont know if its outdated/abandoned.

Best Regards,

R.

The plan is to wait until windows starts to support proper theming. Another option is to convince the wx devs to switch the toolkit to something like WFP. Dark themes work just fine on GTK2.
BTW: This is one of the most often asked question, so please next time search the forum. We've answered this many times.

My bad... I guess my search on forums was only for the dev subforum. Reading throught all related posts now.

Thanks and sorry for my mistake.
