Title: Getting CodeBlocks to play well with Dark theme.
Post by: JDiPIerro on February 01, 2012, 09:21:42 pm
Hey all,

I've been using Eclipse for a while now and I'm starting to get really annoyed by it's utter slowness. I'm thinking of moving to Code::Blocks. I've heard a lot of good things about it and It's definitely fast from what I've seen. My biggest gripe is that it looks just terrible in my dark-theme. The tab titles are black and they stay that way causing them to be almost unreadable. And the console is black on white.

Example: http://i.imgur.com/xNR4W.png

So here's what I'd like to do:
Make the tab text white
Invert the console
Get rid of that gradient on the tab menus.

Also is it possible to get syntax coloring on even MORE categories of syntax? There's a lot of things that are just classified under "default" that I'd like to change the color to. http://i.imgur.com/F7iRN.png This is how I"ve got my Eclipse colors set up and I"d like to at least get close in C::B

For dark themes there were some fixes in the nightlies, try a recent one and then report problems you find.

Apparently nightly builds aren't available on Linux so I can't....

Hm, it depends on the distro :)
But building from svn sources is way easier, than on windows/macosx then.

Aha, thanks. I looked for a configure or make file but didn't see one and got all confused. I've never had to ./bootstrap before.

Arch BTW. Totally the best Distro ever :P Just switched to it and absolutely love it.

Code

macrosmanager.cpp: In member function 'void MacrosManager::Reset()':
macrosmanager.cpp:90:33: error: 'wxRE_ADVANCED' was not declared in this scope
make[3]: *** [macrosmanager.lo] Error 1

That can't be good.
