Title: problem with style of tabs
Post by: p2rkw on August 16, 2012, 07:40:52 pm: Hi,
why codeblocks doesn't use system theme for drawing tabs?
Why it looks like:

instead of something like this (scite):

or this (wxGlade ):

Does cb's tabs really must have it's own specific style? I don't even know which tab is active :/ How can I change it to default system's style? (Even with source code modification)

rev 8229, linux

And second issue: some kind of files use other font color:

How to change these font color?

PS. in project's build options tabs are fine.

It does, but it seems your theme is strange.
Posting a link to a place where we can download it and then test C::B with it will be rather helpful.

I'm currently using Equinox Evolution (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=140449), but Aurora engine (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=56438) doesn't work too.

Oh dear... how often do we get such reports due to broken themes. I wonder why all things need to be "themed" these days... guess I'll download one now... ;D

Well you can choose on Windows, too - but way less people do, as there is no real need I guess, or people like the "standard".

and become unusable (write black on default background in dark theme...).
So, personally, I had to customize each application instead of windows theme.

It just brings Zero benefit but much hassle.

Post by: p2rkw on August 18, 2012, 11:42:25 pm: Huh, why I didn't notice that theme's engine is broken earlier? ??? I changed theme and everything is ok.
Anyway thanks for help.

I accidentaly saw dark syntax highlighting theme and I liked it so much that I changed whole system theme to dark one, and now I light themes are to bright for me.

Problem with linux is that you have to much choices ;)
