Title: Theme for ubuntu (Solved)
Post by: Grom_20022 on January 08, 2022, 09:24:25 am

Hello everyone, I have installed code::blocks on ubuntu recently. Is there a way to change the apperance (picture 1) to a more suitable option, something more like dark version in vscode (picture 2)? I tried to access the link however it doesnt work: https://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Syntax_highlighting_custom_colour_themes

Looks like theme importing is unnecessarily complex, we could create a plugin or built-in method to import/export themes for syntax highlighting and environment colours.

Hell yea... It is quite to complicated. Also the colour settings are located all over the place...
1) Settings->Environment->Colours
2) Settings->Environment->Docking system
3) Settings->Editor->General settings->Other editor settings
4) Settings->Editor->Margins and caret
5) Settings->Editor->Syntax highlighting
then there are all plugins....

it is a mess....
