Is it possible to make a new skin for code blocks?
« on: August 31, 2008, 11:08:05 pm »
Hello,

I am working on an open source project where we would like to use code::blocks as the user programming environment, but with a different skin/visual aspect. I was wondering if this would be possible, and if so, what would be the best way to start.

Thanks a lot in advance,
Jj

You can change the icons, they are just PNG fieles. Also, you can configure the notebook class to look a bit differently, and you can somehow affect a few colours by changing the system colour set.

Other than that, I doubt it is easy if possible at all to "skin" the application, because there are no provisions for it.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer (and sorry for the delay)...

Then, I guess just modifying the class notebook I guess it will not be possible to remove icons from the interface (or add new ones), right? (I don't know exactly what is the exact task of this class)...

Thanks again,
jj
