Using Code::Blocks / Re: Dark Mode

« Last post by bad_terminal on November 10, 2025, 10:25:23 am »

So no button then. 

Not that it matters much anyway, i've uninstalled 25.03 as it was using so much cpu my PC fans kept ramping up.

So that it doesn't appear that i'm spamming the forum, i'll ask another question in here:- On 20.03 I enable code completion in toolbar, and remove browsetracker, then I save everything, save workspace, but upon restart, browsetracker is back in toolbar, and code completion is not. Very frustrating. I there a fix?

edit:So I managed to do this by editing a file in user/codeblocks dir named browsetracker. For some reason it then saved 'code completion' on the toolbar. Weird. All I have to do now is make it remember my preferred zoom (font size). Unfortunatley every time I've tried it in the past, it fails, and also changes the font in the editor. I can then never find the default font that codeblocks uses. Does anyone know what the default font is?

btw ollydbg, I like your bit of advice in your sig, i'll have to remember it!
Thanks.

Development / Re: Support for c++20 modules

Good work!

I looked at the cbp file, it looks like there are 2 main changes compared with normal cbp file

1, some extra command is needed:

Code

				<ExtraCommands>
					<Add before="rm -f gcm.cache" />
					<Add before="mkdir -p obj/Debug/gcm.cache" />
					<Add before="ln -s obj/Debug/gcm.cache ./gcm.cache" />
				</ExtraCommands>

Here you call a "ln" command, my guess is that under Windows system, there is no such command.


2, when building the cxx file, it should set the weight to 10.

Code

		<Unit filename="Hello.cxx">
			<Option weight="10" />
		</Unit>

Which means this file should be built before other source files.

That github repo has the latest changes in 2 years ago. I'm not sure the current status. Currently the official wx 3.3.1 is already released for months.

Using Code::Blocks / Dark Mode

« Last post by bad_terminal on November 09, 2025, 04:03:44 pm »

I've no idea how many people use dark mode for programming, but lately i've noticed my eyes are getting strained by staring at the constant white glare from my screen while using codeblocks. Is there a Dark Mode switch in 25.03?

Development / unified workspace and cbp under Windows for different wxWidgets versions

« Last post by ollydbg on November 09, 2025, 12:31:00 am »

Hi, guys, what do you think about this?

gd_on has work on this in github repo:

codeblocks_gd_cbps

I think this is the direction we should do.

Any comments?

Using Code::Blocks / Re: How to switch between files in Code::Blocks editor window

« Last post by FrankPeelo on November 07, 2025, 04:05:47 pm »

Please have a look at the Browse Tracker plugin.

Strangely, I am not able to get it to work, it's not in the Plugins menu although the Plugin Manager says it seems to be installed. It's probably something silly that I am doing wrong, but now that @ccdric has sorted me out with side-by-side editing, I think I won't need Browse Tracker for the time being.

Thanks anyway!

Frank

I'm no sure I understand very well (I'm not natural English speaking)
but for me I can move the editor tab if the tab is the selected one, if not it just select it.
just move it on the right border slowly until a blue "ghost" windows appears in the center of the editor,  then release it. it should do what I understand you wants.

That's brilliant!

You understood me fine, but I did not understand you! But now I do. When I tried before, I was dragging the tab to the wrong place. The right border and the blue "ghost" windows, those were the hints that got me there!

Thanks again

Frank
