General dark theme (not only for editor)

[jleon]

Hello there
I'm a new CodeBlocks user. I followed the instructions given in  https://sangams.com.np/installing-codeblocks-dark-themes/ to change the Code::Blocks theme, but that only works for the editor window. Is it possible to set a theme for the whole environment e.g. menu bar,  Management panel, Logs & others, etc.? Something like KDevelop does:


Thanks in advance,

No it is not possible, because codeblocks uses wxWidgets. wxWidgets uses as many default controls as possible and also the default colors. So if you change the windows theme also the controls in codeblocks will have the same color.

Maybe, if wxWidgets implements theme support, also codeblocks will add it....

This is only true for windows/osx. On linux the gtk theme could be changed even per application.

I'm using Linux. So I guess I could with some luck accomplish that. ¿How could I?

By the way I already changed the Application Color Scheme in Colors-System Settings (openSUSE), and that's why KDevelop changed its theme. But Code::Blocks does not implement that change.

You've changed the qt theme, now change the gtk+ theme and it will work. There are some gtk themes that use the qt drawing, so you could make it work consistently. But I don't know details. Search the net.

Thanks a lot. After some hours of trying I finally managed to get to the right settings.

Configure desktop->Appearance->Application Style- GNOME Application Style (GTK)
Select GTK2 Theme: Breeze-Dark
Select GTK3 Theme: Breeze-Dark

No, it is not possible. You can set the dark mode for all the app by following these steps. Setting >> Personalization >> color >> dark theme

@Sahadat Husain: You're posting in the wrong topic.

Just for reference: https://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/19223
Still not possible on Windows and if wxWidgets continues to be Win32 API based, it won't be possible for a long while...

CodeLite also uses wxWidgets, but it supports dark mode on Windows 10.
So I think CodeBlocks should be able to implement dark mode in the same way.

We need to wait for wxWidgets 3.3.x. Has the dark mode implemented.

We need to wait for wxWidgets 3.2.x. Has the dark mode implemented.

https://docs.wxwidgets.org/latest/classwx_app.html#af8c93d7e3345e62a58325f3ab1d158d6

That link is for wxWidgets 3.3.0 and up not 3.2.x
