Issue with DBeaver Export
Submitted by Dimitrios Valsamis on Sun, 2020-06-07 12:16
Hi,
This is an awesome add-on for DBeaver, but unfortunately, I had to uninstall it as it causes issues with exporting query results. As soon as I install it, the lists of available 'Targets:' and 'Objects:' come up empty.
Thank you
Dimitrios

Dimitrios followed up on our forums (thanks!) to point out that this is actually a DBeaver bug that will be fixed in their next release.

It works perfectly except when we navigte to the CLASS section, the editor becomes completely white and the code is nnot visisble,all that is visiole were parenthses and Inverted commas in the code.
Hope you will address this soon.
Appreciate your contribution to the marketpalce.
Thanks,
Murthy

Murthy,
Appreciate the kind words, thank you! It's a bit tricky for us to debug ABAP coloring issues here, can you please create a post on our forum so we can dive into more detail? It would be helpful to have some screenshots of the editor. Also, do you see the same issues with the Eclipse Dark theme, or does that work fine? Thanks!
Lost focus from editor.
Submitted by Yongho Nam on Thu, 2020-05-07 20:55
https://marketplace.eclipse.org/comment/6542#comment-6542 -> I've already reported.
Hi, I've found the reason of why it is occurred.
I'm using Vrapper plug-in as well and if I installed both of them, the problem issued only on windows.
When I go to declaration using a shortcut, cursor disappeared. Any key doesn't work at the moment until click the editor using a mouse. But If the declaration is in a same file or the declaration is in other file but it was already opened before, the problem doesn't appear.
I mainly use CDT, Vrapper(VIM) plugins.
I hope my word delivered properly.
I really want to use theme. Thanks.
Re: Lost focus from editor.
Submitted by Brian Fernandes on Thu, 2020-05-28 11:13
We appreciate you taking the time to track that down - we tried with the Vrapper plugin and were able to reproduce the issue locally. The bug has been updated with these details, and hopefully this won't be too difficult to fix. Thanks!
DBeaver scroll bars
Submitted by Tomislav Sulentic on Sat, 2020-04-25 07:49
Hi, i love the theme, but it doesn't change the scroll bars in DBeaver on Win 10, is there a way to change them?
Re: DBeaver scroll bars
Submitted by Brian Fernandes on Mon, 2020-05-04 15:09
Tomislav - glad you like our theme. I just checked the scrollbars in the DBeaver SQL editor and they looked fine, a couple of views looked OK as well. Can you tell us what editor or view you're talking about? Also, ensure you're not on the Windows Classic OS theme. If you can send a screenshot to us at support@genuitec.com or open an issue on our forums, we'd be able to take a deeper look. Thanks!

Re: why the Menu Bar aslo white
Submitted by Brian Fernandes on Tue, 2020-04-21 02:40
Li, the menu is something we don't have much control over, unfortunately. On Linux and macOS, you need to change the OS to use a dark theme. Unfortunately this doesn't work on Windows yet, but we'll look into it - thank you for asking!
Inability to install updates after downloading theme
Submitted by Yomi Oluwadara on Fri, 2020-04-03 17:52
I'm running 2018 eclipse, after downloading the theme, I can no longer install updates. I get the error:
An error occurred while collecting items to be installed session context was:(profile=_home_rk1424_eclipse_rcp-latest-released_eclipse, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.........
I have tried out the different solutions I found on the web with no luck. I hope you can give me insights.
Re: Inability to install updates after downloading theme
Submitted by Brian Fernandes on Wed, 2020-04-08 09:16
Yomi, your installation's metadata may have been corrupted by the plugin installation - unforutnately this is something we don't have much control over. The most expedient way of getting this fixed may be to start with a fresh (and more recent) Eclipse install. However, if you'd like to work on your existing install, please open a ticket here with the entire stack trace and we'll take a look ASAP.
My eclipse gets hanged more often
Submitted by Shri Shankari on Mon, 2020-03-23 09:10
Hi, today morning i installed this dark theme.Then onwards, my eclipse is getting hanged for every line i type the code. Its really annoying. May i know, how to fix it ?
I am using this version : 2020-03 (4.15.0)
Re: My eclipse gets hanged more often
Submitted by Brian Fernandes on Tue, 2020-03-24 15:18
Shri - first, a few hours ago, we put out a new update for DevStyle, please ensure you are on the latest release. If the problem still occurs, do let us know what OS you're on, as well as what plugins you have in your Eclipse installation, or what base Eclipse install it is (PHP, CDT, Enterprise, etc.). If you could create a post on our forums along with your workspace error log, that would help us track this down. Thanks!

Eclipse Neon issue with Dark Theme

Hii Iam Using Eclipse Neon with Dark Theme on Mac OS, but iam facing issues with this version as i have writing my code so on the Content Assist it hides the first element and starts with a header, while changing this to the Normal Theme it works fine but with the DARKEST Theme this issue occurs
Re: Eclipse Neon issue with Dark Theme
Submitted by Brian Fernandes on Wed, 2019-11-27 14:58
Prashant, thanks for bringing this to our attention - we were able to reproduce this. The issue is specific to Eclipse Neon though, so if you upgrade to a more recent version of Eclipse, you would no longer experience this problem. We've filed a bug for this, but unfortunately cannot commit to a fix timeline right now.

3. ubuntu 18.04 -> c/c++ eclipse(already installed darkest dark theme) -> open c file -> open declaration -> newly opened file -> no problem
Re: loosing focus and cursor problem
Submitted by Brian Fernandes on Tue, 2019-10-08 17:30
Yongho, could you clarify exactly what you mean by, "losing focus" - do you mean another editor is activated instead of the file just opened? Does it happen when a file of another type is similarly opened (if you have Java files for instance also in your environment)? Finally, just to be sure it's a theme issue - does this happen only with Darkest Dark activated, no problems in the default Eclipse theme?
Re: Re: loosing focus and cursor problem
Submitted by Yongho Nam on Thu, 2019-10-10 03:47
It means lost cursor from editor which I want to go to.
When I tested after uninstalling Darkest Dark theme and the result is no problem.
Also I installed Darkest Dark again, and the same issue is occurred.

Line spacing
Submitted by R M on Fri, 2019-09-20 05:11
Love the theme. However, the core problem of eclipse viz cramped space between the lines in the editors makes it clumsy to look at. It might not be a big thing for people with good eye sight. Can you do something about the spacing between the lines? Something like Intellij has as a parameter to increase or decrease line spacing.
Re: Line spacing
Submitted by Brian Fernandes on Tue, 2019-10-08 06:02
Sorry we missed your comment. I'll file this as a feature request, and see what we can do - I see the corresponding Eclipse bug has been open since 2002! If you haven't already tried it, the popular workaround seems to suggest using a "tall" font, like "Meslo Font" which might help improve redability for now.
Re: Re: Line spacing
Submitted by R M on Thu, 2019-10-10 00:21
Thanks for acknowledging the request.
I used this custom Meslo for a while and now I am using Fira code. It is easy on the eye for most part except for some badly indented code. If the abilityto increase line spacing to our linking can be included, then nothing like it. Thanks in advance.
Re: Re: Re: Line spacing
Submitted by Brian Fernandes on Fri, 2019-10-11 11:42
I see you have done you research! You might also want to try the newly released Cascadia Code font from Microsoft, I've switched to that myself. Will update this thread if we manage to add the line-spacing feature.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Line spacing
Submitted by R M on Wed, 2019-10-16 00:00
Tried and it is beautiful. The only draw back again is the cramped space between the lines. For now, sticking to Fira code. Hope you will be able to add the line spacing functionality. Eagerly waiting for your update. :)

Revision Information / git blame unreadable

For the Java version of Eclipse you can right click into code and go to Team -> Show revision information. Then when you hover over the line count you see who committed the current line of code. You see the commit message and a color diff of the the patch.
Problem:
The light text in this color diff is unreadble against the green/red background.

Nice to meet you
Submitted by KH LEE on Mon, 2019-07-29 00:27
You're using it well. But there is a function that I want to modify. It's a "find" function. If you use the ctrl+f key to find a character, the focus of the mouse goes directly to the editor, and even if you want to complete the text you want to find, the focus goes to the editor and can't.
If I can set up this function, let me know how.
Cheer up until more users use this feature.
Re: Nice to meet you
Submitted by Brian Fernandes on Fri, 2019-08-23 11:33
I assume you're talking about the inline find? We had some focus issues in early versions, though none as severe as you desribe, as it would render the search completley useless :) If you still see this issue with the latest DevStyle version, please contact us using the Support URL, and we'll be happy to investigate and fix. Could you also please share your OS and Eclipse version/distribution details? Thanks!

Incompatible with jazz source control
Submitted by Joel Mclean on Fri, 2019-05-24 04:47
Love DevStyle but it's very impractical to use with source control as for some reason when using context menu on a change set to assign a work item, the dialog to pick a work item does not show up and so I then have to unapply the devstyle theme back to an eclipse default theme, assign the work item, and then reapply the theme, which is very annoying. Any idea why this is? I've actually stopped using DevStyle now because of the inconvenience but I would love to be able to use it again without this issue :(
