In reply to Love the new dark themes. Very readable. by Mark Bratcher
Thank you for the kind words Mark, we're so happy to hear you're really enjoying the theme and perhaps more importantly, that it's making Eclipse more accessible for you. I will admit that the new icons (especially in pastel colors) are my personal favourite theme feature. If you tweak an inbuilt theme and find settings you like, you can copy the theme code and share it with others too. Thanks again!

The ability to change package explorer size disapear
Submitted by Yi Liu on Sat, 07/17/2021 - 05:33
Hello, I remember devstyle contains ability to change package explorer size with some version, but now, for eclipse 4.18 and DevStyle 1.11.0.202105260439 , I cannot find that feature anymore, any hint about this issue?

In reply to The ability to change package explorer size disapear by Yi Liu
Yi - Eclipse added this functionlity to Windows builds in 2020-09 (4.17) - check "Tree and Table font for views" under the font preference page. If you're using this verison or later, we don't show the setting. However, if you still want it, you can add the
-Ddevstyle.show.explorer.size.control=true
switch to the vmargs section of your eclipse.ini file and that will show you the preference. Hope this helps!Re: Re: The ability to change package explorer size disapear

Yi - glad to hear you got it working! We disabled it because we believe the in-built preference I referenced above manages to uniformly change the font size in all views. The setting is disabled only in Eclipse versions that have the new preference (4.17+)

Submitted by Alessandro Aiezza on Wed, 07/14/2021 - 14:22
I don't know if Eclipse did this, or the plugin, but there's a sharp difference in the Git History branch labels after installing the plugin. The white text on light green background is quite off-putting.

Theme isn't working correctly - setup issue?

Hello. I'm dying to try this dark theme. Screenshots look great.
However, when I install it, only my scroll bars are dark. My main windows are still light.
I am running Eclipse 2021-3 for ESP-IDF.

Mark, thank you for the comments! We tried a few tests at our end, and couldn't replicate this. Mind sharing the OS and OS theme (if applicable) you're on? Also, what base distribution of Eclipse are you using - CDT or other? If you could share some screenshots of how it looks in both Darkest Dark and the Eclipse Dark theme, that would help. You can email them to support@genuitec.com

DevSDtyle + Xubuntu (XFCE)
Submitted by B W on Fri, 03/26/2021 - 07:43
Great plugin, I really like the themes.
However, there is a problem on Xubuntu 20.04.2 LTS running the default, stock Greybird theme.
The current position in all trees (Project Explorer, Outline, etc) is highlighted with background color #6688ff (102, 136, 255), which does not look like in the screenshots. I also tried in Windows 10 with same Eclipse version and the highlighting in the Outline and Project Explorer panes looks correct there.
Trying other themes in DevStyle and also in XFCE did not help.
The default Eclipse themes each highlight with their own, different blueish, less intrusive color, so it appears that this element is definitely stylable.
Details: Eclipse CDT Version: 2021-03 (4.19.0) Build id: 20210312-0638, DevStyle installed from Eclipse Marketplace. No other plugins installed.

Vsevolod, we specifically tried the latest version of DBeaver and could not reproduce this issue. Are you using the DBeaver standalone installer (assuming version 7.3.3) or have you installed DBeaver via update site into Eclipse? If the latter, do share the version and distribution of Eclipse being used.

You cannot set a background image, but if you meant color, then go to Preferences > DevStyle > Color Themes and ensure Theme background is unchecked. Then go to Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors and change the Background color setting from the color list at the bottom.

Lost focus from editor.
Submitted by yongho Nam on Thu, 05/07/2020 - 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.
