General (but related to Code::Blocks) / Re: Any way to force light mode?

Not as a whole. But you can change colours manually. See settings|environment|colours and settings|editor|syntax highlighting.
The latter is language wise and can be saved as a named colour theme.

I use gnome with the default theme which is dark. My Code::Blocks has a bright theme like it always had without changing anything. That is: white background in editor, logs and other open views. On the Ubuntu machines and RaspberryOS I also use it is the same.

For general help see https://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Main_Page.

I notice that code::blocks doesn't have a choice for Ubuntu or many other except debian, I would love to see other popular linux distros here

I use Kubuntu and I have been using Xaviou's ppa for Ubuntu, it seems to work fine

Help / Re: How do I stop Code::Blocks from opening on startup?

« Last post by blauzahn on June 26, 2025, 07:02:30 pm »

As far as I am aware there is nothing inside Code::Blocks for this. On my Arch Linux it does not start automatically. Please note
that I use Code::Block's trunk (as of now: svn rev 13672) with wxwidgets 3.3 trunk.

Did you close Code::Blocks before logging off the gui-session (gnome, kde or whatever) or shutting down the machine?

There are some scripts that start programs like: /etc/bash.bashrc, ~/.bashrc, /etc/cron*. I'd grep them for codeblocks.

Using Code::Blocks / Re: CB 25.02 - BrowseTracker crash on startup

« Last post by Pecan on June 26, 2025, 06:09:42 pm »

Compilation on MSW now fails due to missing logmanager.h. The MSW project defines NOPCH, so sdk.h will not include logmanager.h. Also, double quotes should be used for the includes.

The solution is changing the first lines of JumpTracker.cpp to

Code

#include "sdk.h" // Code::Blocks SDK
#include "configurationpanel.h"
#include "cbstyledtextctrl.h"
#include "logmanager.h"
#include "projectmanager.h"
#include "editormanager.h"
#include "cbeditor.h"

No that is a workaround; not a solution.
Correction adding "#include "logmanager.h"" is a valid solution

Fixed svn 13673

General (but related to Code::Blocks) / Any way to force light mode?

« Last post by Cookiehead on June 26, 2025, 04:08:34 pm »

I know most people do want dark mode, but personally I like my code editors in light mode.

However, when the system theme is dark, Code::Blocks is also dark and I found no setting to make it light unless I change the system theme to light. Using Arch Linux.

Anyone know?

Help / How do I stop Code::Blocks from opening on startup?

« Last post by Cookiehead on June 26, 2025, 04:05:18 pm »

I'm using Arch Linux, and Code::Blocks always opens on startup after I restart my computer. It's not that big of a deal (I can just close it) but just a minor inconvenience.
There are no programs in the startup section, so what keeps starting Code::Blocks?

Forums, wiki, and manual do not mention anything like this.. does anyone know?
Thanks.

So, create one and post a link in the nightly builds.
If you are talking about the last CB release in March 2025 contact your Linux distro to create a package.
