Goto to Settings -> Environments Select Colours and over the OK and Cancel Buttons You will see the combo Box to change the theme. I am using Windows 11 25 H2. See the attach Image file. I dont like the dark mode and I use Light mode in Codeblocks.

Nightly builds / Re: The 27 May 2026 build (13855) is out.

[Main Instruction]
A debugging check in this application has failed.

I've found that deleting the .conf file just one time solved this for me.

Pecan, trying to re-customize my default.conf I think I found the root cause of the issue and so a quick way to fix it. The root cause of the debugging checks is a specific setting

Settings->Environment Settings->Notebooks Appearance->Tab Style

If you set the tab style to Firefox2 or Microsoft Visual Studio 7.1 the debugging checks are raised

Uisng default or Simple Tabs no debugging checks are raised.

So to me is enough to change my old settings from Firefox 2 to default to get a working default.conf (my old one). I hope this helps to understand how to fix the issue.

set WX_MSW_DARK_MODE=2

Thanks...I wasn't aware of the environment variable WX_MSW_DARK_MODE. Now I set this environment variable and I'm able to switch between the two modes quickly.

You can use C:B in darkmode. At least 2 ways to obtain this :

• Use darkmode for Windows: C::B will follow Windows mode
• Use a small cmd file to force darkmode: This cmd file is something like:
  

Code

REM To force darkmode (if 0 standard color mode, if 1 follow system mode)
set WX_MSW_DARK_MODE=2
codeblocks.exe

Then you can adjust different colors.
In this example, this codeblocks_DarkMode.cmd file is placed where codeblocks.exe is installed.

I lookfor a setings to get the dark mode using this nightly and Windows 11 25H2. It seems there is no such an option. So can you confirm that dark mode is not supported in Windows 11? Is it possible to enable the dark mode in Windows11? Is a long waited feature....

Today, I try to download this last nightly of CB into WSL2 (Ubuntu 24.04) using Firefox browser (just my choice ...    )

BitDefender AV don't control this 7z archive (YES !), by default stored on "$HOME/Downloads".

Into terminal Ubuntu 24.04, I use command "7z" to extract directly to "/mnt/c/CodeBlocks", ... and BD AV detect like previous downloads an malware, and, like Eckart, link to file "CB_soncole_runner.exe" just decompressed ...

I force BD AV to restore this specific file. 

After that, I run CB (after decompress also two dependencies files with MinGW64 and WX DLL), and result is OK.

I don't know why, CB has been very long time to start ... but (be patient) ..., after I can use last nightly of CB normally.

Story is closed !

Thank's.

Help / Re: Used .deb files to install Codeblocks

« Last post by mac48601 on June 03, 2026, 04:18:49 pm »

This worked for me using bash. The graphical install never worked. This will install code:blocks 25.03 rev 13644

sudo apt update
sudo apt install codeblocks codeblocks-contrib
sudo apt install build-essentials gdb
codeblocks

select the GNUGCC Compiler and set it as default.

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?

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.
