General (but related to Code::Blocks) / What Features Do You Use Most in Code::Blocks?
« Last post by craigblake on June 03, 2026, 05:40:31 am »Hello everyone,
I've been exploring Code::Blocks recently and realized that I probably use only a small portion of its features. At the moment, I mainly use project management, code completion, and the debugger.
For experienced users, what features do you find most helpful in your daily workflow? Are there any hidden tools, shortcuts, or settings that significantly improve your productivity?
I'd love to learn more about how other developers use Code::Blocks and discover features that I may have overlooked.
Looking forward to your suggestions!

Nightly builds / Re: The 27 May 2026 build (13855) is out.
« Last post by MaxGaspa on June 02, 2026, 10:32:54 pm »Try deleting all the .layout files to see if that fixes the problem.
No. It doesn't work. So the only solution is to re-customize everything. Very boring and time consuming. Am I the only one with this issue?

« Last post by MaxGaspa on June 02, 2026, 10:26:59 pm »You can change the colors using Environment Settings, Select Colours Image or Icon, Below is a comBoBox that say select application appearance if(supported by platform) and you can change the combobox to 3 options system default, Light , Dark theme.
There is no Environment Settings, Select Colours Image or Icon. I'm using Windows 11 25H2. So dark mode is not supported in Windows 11?

Using Code::Blocks / Re: New project templates missing/empty
« Last post by Kayn on June 02, 2026, 04:56:09 pm »Thanks. That seems to have soled the issue.
It's a shame that there is no hint about this anywhere to be found
In times when plugins often break crashing the whole app user tend to disable many plugins. It would be very helpful to get warned about the consequences about this kind of plugin-disabling...
Another questions (off topic):
How to properly upload and link/reference images/screen shots inside a post? I kind of managed to do so and the image is being shown when I'm logged in but the image is not being shown to a random not logged in forum user. Wtf?
How to improve the captcha? I'm having big trouble identifying the letters in the captcha to the point where the forum becomes almost unusable to me. The "listen to letters" function seems broken as well. So submitting a post to the forum needs several attempts (8 or so) and is very annoying.
This really needs to change.

You can see which plugins are enabled in Help/About/Plugins or Plugins/Manage plugins...

Using Code::Blocks / New project templates missing/empty
« Last post by Kayn on June 01, 2026, 01:29:36 pm »Hi,
when I try to create a new project, I find the project template to be empty.
No project templates to choose from at all.
What would be a good strategy to find the cause of this issue?
My System is manjaro and endavourOS, both arch based.
Release is:
Release 25.03 rev 13644 (2025-03-29 05:36:19) gcc 15.1.1 Linux/unicode - 64 bit

« Last post by ThierryD on May 31, 2026, 03:25:28 pm »Thanks Eckhart,
Today, I retry to download and diagnostic is same but Trojan detected not (
) (in file join).
I will try download nightly CB on Linux first (on my laptop with double boot), I will try to decompress always on Linux (partition NTFS with access "write"), and after reboot on W11 2H2 to see result.
Regards.

Please look into this.

Using Code::Blocks / Re: CMake Monorepo cbp Almost works but cant find Headers in include/ directories
« Last post by christo on May 31, 2026, 08:57:06 am »For point 1, could you please try adding the header files also to target_sources?
C::B supports external makefile projects. Please see wiki
As per manual, ProjectsImporter plugin imports foreign projects and workspaces from Dev-C++, MSVC6, MSVC7, and MSVC8 for use as a Code::Blocks project. It does not support CMake yet.
Out of curiousity, is there any standard approach for having a cross platform IDE-independent build system that works out of the box with CodeBlocks?
