Darkest Dark Theme with DevStyle

Thank you for providing the details here.  I have cross-posted this to the Darkest Dark forums and would ask that in the future, you post logs there -- it is a lot easier to follow up and actually supports attachments instead of huge messages here.  Thanks!

Given popularity of STS, we do actually test with it and haven't seen any direct performance slowdowns -- right now we are unable to replicate the performance issues you are seeing with Spring Tool Suite and Dark Theme. What would be interesting to know is your workspace setup, specifically the type of projects in the workspace.

1. You mentioned Spring Boot Apps in your summary. Do you also have several other spring projects in the workspace? Which spring framework(s) are these projects using? Are these Maven projects? Are there many Java classes in these projects?
2. Which spring specific validators enabled for these projects? Are they defaults or you have additional validators enabled?
3. When do you see the performance issues? Immediately after launch or when creating projects or other? Do you see any background jobs running at this time?
4. Which appserver are you deploying your projects to?
5. Are there are any additional settings that you think might be interesting to share?

Ideally if you could respond with details on our forums (see Support link), that would be superb!  We are striving to make Darkest Dark run smoothly across an array of Eclipse IDEs and your assistant will help greatly!

Hi Arun,

Thanks for the feedback. Would you mind posting issues with screenshots in the forums?

Thanks!

Thank you, Scott. We loved your comment so much that we made it into a quote card for our social media. Enjoy Darkest Dark!

Hi Aj,

Here is the link to the forums genuitec . com /forums (Eclipse won't let me post the link) would love if you can post there the issues you are having and any additional comments/concerns etc. We are glad you are loving it, though! :)

Hi Aj,

Our tech support is already working on your issue. Please post it on our forums so they can reply as soon as they have an answer. We are glad you are loving it!!

Awesome Feedback!

1) Syntax highlighter: quite unstable now, sometimes it visualizes strange characters or odd color schemes that seem to be completely random

Mind providing some screenshots or GIFs on what you are seeing? You can tweet them to me at @timrwebb or drop them on our forums. We really aim to strive to make this rock solid. Regarding syntax coloring, that's an odd one as the theme doesn't actually do anything fancy for syntax highlighting other than just provide colors -- curious that it impacts reliability but we'll look at what you share and see what we can sort out!

2) More color schemes for code syntax: those from eclipse color theme are great. And that project seem to be dead. Quite a good opportunity here ;-)

Excellent -- this one is already on the way. We allow you to switch between Editor Color themes in 2017 CI 4 coming out in 1.5 weeks and even import your favorite existing Eclipse Color Theme right into Darkest Dark. No need to install ECT to benefit from efficient color selection, and with the benefit of not smashing thousands of preferences into your workspace.

3) I love the icon style: I don't know how legal would be to rebrand some icons, but I would like to see some better icons using this ......

We continue to strive to brand more icons and would love to have more contributions from users like you! Have you tried to install the Icon Designer to contribute some of your own suggestions? Let us know how it goes over on our Darkest Dark forums if you don't mind!

4) Stability, stability, stability

Right there with you!

We would love that. Can't get tired of reading that. :)

the best as you know
