IDE Themes
« on: October 12, 2021, 09:04:45 pm »
I am aware of the 'in-built' themes for QB64 and the ability to create a theme... Is there a larger collection of themes? When a new theme is created where is that also stored? (Linux)  A change is as good as a holiday... So they say... and it's never said who 'they' actually are...

My code is seamless, my workplace themeless.

Same here, put trough my color schemes from version to version. Which one I use depends on the computer/monitor and the environment light. Home at my Laptop it's my "Dark" theme, in Office it's the "Broadcast" theme and at the machines in the production hall it's my "Bright" theme.

Code: Text: [Select]
  1. Scheme1$="Broadcast|228224220034085170221068051238238068221136000119119034024024024036036036170170170"
  2. Scheme2$="RhoSigma Bright|128128128050050224205000000205173000238064000000139069255255255224224224032178170"
  3. Scheme3$="RhoSigma Dark|205201201050050224205000000205173000238064000000139069024024024036036036000125240"

Thanks guys,

config.ini... Cool... I have added all your themes! Wow. Some pretty wild colours in there! Of course, I favour the "blues", but it's good to "mix it up" a little.

Much appreciated.

Petr is right, the current default (Dark Blue is it called?) is pretty good.

Tip: never use lime green background, it will have you seeing red!

BTW I am noticing an odd thing: When I click a .bas file from Windows File Explorer, QB64 loads up into current version because I had updated that, BUT, it is NOT loaded with my chosen Color Scheme that works off a Shortcut that I pinned to Task Bar? The Default Color Scheme loads in, and I am somewhat confused by this. I think, if I recall correctly, if I do change it to edit some more it does get changed... awhhhh Windows has update and isn't letting me use File Explorer to check whether color scheme I then specify is remembered next time I click.

Got's to go and let Windows do it's dang update.

I still prefer the classic look, but those themes up there are nice looking ones.

Don't forget that with v2.0 every running instance of the IDE can have its own color scheme. You will find separate sections for each one in the config file.

I'm with Dav, and the two of us together outnumber all the rest of you individuals; but no worries. Everyone's entitled to our opinion. :D

EDIT 1: I just finished the install of v2.0, that I downloaded Friday night. By finished, I mean I changed all the options to get it to look more like QuickBASIC. How about that that for a theme? No line numbers, no syntax highlighting. No highlighting brackets. Oh, and one difference... use the Lucon fonts at font-size of 25. Call it ZERO HERO Theme. Well, probably not going to happen, but thanks for making some of the other things I mentioned as button options.

EDIT 2: I forgot the now option... CHANGE THE KEYWORDS BACK TO ALL CAPS. Blank the guy and the camel case he rode in on.

OK that must be these:
Quote
...

[IDE WINDOW 1]
IDE_Width=160
IDE_Height=46
IDE_TopPosition=0
IDE_LeftPosition=62

[IDE COLOR SETTINGS 1]
SchemeID=22
TextColor=_RGB32(157, 157, 157)
KeywordColor=_RGB32(98, 98, 98)
NumbersColor=_RGB32(196, 137, 0)
QuoteColor=_RGB32(255, 226, 78)
CommentColor=_RGB32(118, 118, 255)
MetaCommandColor=_RGB32(245, 49, 0)
HighlightColor=_RGB32(59, 0, 100)
BackgroundColor=_RGB32(29, 20, 10)
BackgroundColor2=_RGB32(10, 10, 10)

[IDE WINDOW 2]
IDE_Width=157
IDE_Height=44
IDE_TopPosition=6
IDE_LeftPosition=64

[IDE COLOR SETTINGS 2]
SchemeID=22
TextColor=_RGB32(157, 157, 157)
KeywordColor=_RGB32(98, 98, 98)
NumbersColor=_RGB32(196, 137, 0)
QuoteColor=_RGB32(255, 226, 78)
CommentColor=_RGB32(118, 118, 196)
MetaCommandColor=_RGB32(245, 49, 0)
HighlightColor=_RGB32(59, 0, 100)
BackgroundColor=_RGB32(29, 29, 29)
BackgroundColor2=_RGB32(10, 10, 10)

So the first QB64 program I open runs under color scheme 1, does not matter how I activate from Taskbar or from File Navigator click, the first I open gets the first scheme the 2nd activation the 2nd scheme.

I was wondering if you customized settings for each file, but no, the color scheme is in the order of the activation so you have color coded the first opened bas file and the 2nd which could be the same file again!

Oh that might be handy! Nice :) I could have an Edit file color and an Read Only file color like R is for Red and Read Only,  Red could warn NOT to do edits in that file.

If we wanted an editor that couldn't edit, Rob should have let Clippy program it.
