Hi cbpporter,

Dark theme is enabled in Windows 10 using Settings > Colors > Choose your default app mode > Dark

Then restart TheIDE.

Best regards,

Tom

Thanks! I mean more like in code, how to turn on CtrlLib dark mode.

Found it in GIT: Ctrl::SetDarkThemeEnabled();

But... sweet baby Jesus, my eyes! I do not mean to be rude or anything, but those colors... That contrast... That Cyan text if you switch code editor to dark mode in TheIDE. That color scheme is completely unusable. It makes my eyes bleed. And literally hurt.

Again, not to be rude, but to avoid personal bias, I showed the theme to about 5 people and we had a good time. Except for the eye bleeding...

Not to mention that it is buggy and once I switched CodeEditor to dark mode, switching it to light mode doesn't work and restoring defaults.

I need to delete settings to get things back to normal...

We need something like SetDarkIconsEnabled which is independent on SetDarkThemeEnabled, maybe support for two color icons...

And a serious pass on the colors...


Your post is confusing, I am really not able to tell what you are speaking about...

Are you annoyed by colors in theide editor in the dark mode? (If so, welcome to the club, I dislike it too. But then I really dislike dark theme itself, so who am I to judge...).

SetDarkThemeEnabled tells U++ that application is ready to handle the dark theme. It in fact has any meaning only in windows. If you activate that, app starts following theme setting in Windows 10.
