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

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

Development / Re: AI may help us to create plugins

« Last post by Wkerry on November 06, 2025, 08:10:36 am »

When using AI for coding be very very careful that it does what you want as AI makes allot of coding mistakes.
On the flip side it can save allot of time with doing boilerplate stuff and simple bug fixes.

Using Code::Blocks / Re: Version 25.03 won't build any of my previously working programs?

« Last post by bad_terminal on November 05, 2025, 05:52:43 pm »

Hi, thankyou for the prompt response, however I had a brainstorm, and figured out the problem from the error messages given in CB 20.03 before the debugger crashed. I am teh n00b, and whilst I would like to provide that info, what you suggest seems like a lot of work for a dope liek me 

For instance, I have no idea how to build from the command line.

Best of luck with this program though, as apart from the buggy debugger, it's great.

Best regards,

bad_terminal.

Using Code::Blocks / Version 25.03 won't build any of my previously working programs?

« Last post by bad_terminal on November 05, 2025, 01:38:30 pm »

As topic.

Was using 20.something for years (all developing same program -  a learning excercise) ran into a problem recently I couldnt figure out in my head (I've never used the codeblocks debugger before, and have been troubleshooting in my head these past years) so I thought i'd try codeblocks debugger.

Unfortunatley the one that came with 20.something kept crashing, so I installed 25.03....which wont build any of the 60-odd previously working versions i'd already created.

Anyone have an  idea as to why?

Ta.

Using Code::Blocks / Re: Problem with standalone exe

« Last post by bad_terminal on November 05, 2025, 01:32:04 pm »

Surely somebody knows what all those different 'compliers' are and what the difference is?

I know. It is different compilers for the different cases. I have 3 compilers in use: one for Win64 (gcc 14.2, default), one for Win32 (gcc 14.2 for some automation tasks, old hardware has no Win64 drivers) and one for XP (gcc 9.3, really old hardware, no Win7 drivers).

Ok thankyou, that makes sense.
