Title: How to change the menu color of code blocks.
Post by: unnaturhal on October 10, 2012, 12:43:25 pm

Hi there,
I have a bit problem with the C::B appareance, this:

As you can see, there are some parts of the toolbars are "dark" and some other in the standard C::B grey color. And it's a punch in the eye.
There is a way to make everything dark, or to just turn in the standard color?
This dark color is given by mu Windows7 Theme (I think) but I can't undestand why it makes dark just a piece of the toolbars and not the whole one.
Thanks in advance

What theme are you using?
Does other wxwidgets based apps work correctly?

Choose something from here: http://wxwidgets.org/about/users.htm
Or compile and run some of the wx samples.

It depends on if this is using the wxAUI toolbar. As you know, there are also other (including the default wxToolbar) toolbars around. So the question is, is this a sample for wxAUI?

I you are unsure but have the sources of wxWidgets, I guess the easiest way would be to compile the wxAUI sample of your wxWidgets version (usually in [wxWidgets_src]\samples\aui) for verification. This should be really easy, espeicially if you self-compiled wxWidgets anyways.

Also keep in mind that this must match the wx version you are using. So don'T trty samples compiled against wx2.9.x if you are using wx2.8.x.

For me (btw) I don't see such artefacts on Linux.

But.. why all this problems? There isn't a simple way to make C::B appareance dark or to get back the original color without changing the windows 7 theme?
