Hello Brian,
Unfortunately this solution is not possible in my case. I'm using Eclipse 4.13 through ST's WiSE-Studio and updating to a more recent version simply breaks the program which won't even launch anymore.
Why does Genuitech not make older versions of DevStyle available for users using older versions of Eclipse? Why require everyone to update to a newer version?

Eduardo / Wayne,
Thank you for your suggestions - we do, of course, have archived sites for each version of DevStyle, though there are some other considerations becuase of which they may still not work when you try to use them today. We're taking a look to see what our options are here and will keep you posted. Thanks!

folder/file/package name on hover in package explorer
Submitted by Mike Boi on Sat, 02/18/2023 - 01:35
In the default theme, if the names of the folders or files are cut off due to the size of the Package Explorer view, hovering over them used to show their names in a tooltip(not exactly a tooltip idk what its called it extends the name that is cut off). However, after applying this theme, this option appears to have turned off and I can't find where it is located. I would appreciate some help. Cheers!
By the way, I like the theme.

Theme Deep Black no border
Submitted by kappe (not verified) on Wed, 10/19/2022 - 03:42
The deep black theme is really beautiful.
However, I have a problem when viewing multiple panels together. When I have the code, the package explorer on the left, the outline on the right and the console below, I can't distinguish the different sections because there is no border to distinguish them. Could you kindly add borders of a different color to better delineate the sections?
Thanks

In reply to Getting an error by Andrew Drourr
Andrew, sorry to hear you're running into this. There are several reasons for a PKIX error, but it's mostly rooted around not being able to establish an HTTPS connection with our servers. This could happen due to a corporiate firewall/proxy not letting the traffic correctly through, or using an older version of Java which doesn't have corresponding certs. My recommenation would be to update the version of Java you use to run Eclipse and/or you can download a copy of our site and install it from a local directory as described here: https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/offline-installation/

Amazing Dark Theme

Thank you for this awesome theme. I do not feel the need for IntelliJ IDEA at all.
My question: can we change the background colour of any selected list-item in the Outline View, Package Explorer View, Content Assist, Preferences, etc? Attaching a screenshot URL and system information for reference. Current highlight/selection bg color is #6688ff.

Manoj, glad you are enjoying DevStyle, and thank you for sharing the screenshot to explain your request. This is not something you can currently change with DevStyle and I believe it's something that will be based on the OS level theme. Since you are using Gnome, perhaps you could change it there, or are you looking for a different color just in Eclipse?

In reply to Re: Amazing Dark Theme by Brian Fernandes
Okay, understood! I changed the Gnome theme, but that does not alter the colour. It would be good to have the menu item highlighted in a different colour so that the text looks a little more readable, but it is just a minor issue which can be overlooked. Thanks.

In reply to auto update deletes my server setting by Chang Moon
Chang, an odd issue indeed - we've never come across an issue like this. DevStyle does not modify any workspace or project settings as it has no need to make such changes for theme support. Do you mind clarifying what you mean by, "server settings of projects"? What servers are these, and how do you see the settings? Perhaps there's a themeing issue that caused the settings to be incorrectly displayed? If you can share additional details, we'll be happy to take a look. Thanks!

In reply to Cannot complete the install because one or more required items.. by Eric Moritz
Eric, STS does seem to ship with a different version of commons.lang3 (3.4) when compared with Eclipse 2021-12, which ships version 3.1.0 - regardless, when we attempted to install DevStyle from the marketplace via simple drang and drop, it installed just fine (plugin in the installation was updated). How did you install STS? You could explicitly add the Eclipse orbit repository (https://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/drops/I2021110120550…) to your available update sites in case it's missing to ensure the commons.lang3 plugin can be found during the install. Do create a post on our forums if you are still having issues where we can dig ino this further.

Hi Brian,
today I installed Darkest Dark Theme into Spring Tool Suite 4 (Version: 4.13.0.RELEASE) with little help of lang3 from local store. Sluggish is maybe weak word, but I've played with it a little and found out that IDE behaves sluggishly only when Console with Ansi mode enabled is visible. Maybe that could help you investigate more.
Anyway, I use Darkest Dark Theme in other Eclipse IDEs for years and I'm pretty satisfied. You are doing great job guys.

devstyle deep theme theme currently selected line background
Submitted by xh z on Thu, 08/19/2021 - 05:16
devstyle deep theme theme currently selected line background color and scroll bar improvement suggestions...
The gray background color currently selected under the devstyle deep theme theme style does not match the overall color style of the devstyle deep theme theme. I hope that the currently selected background color can be re-adjusted, please see. . .
The positioning of the scroll bar is not obvious, which affects the width of the mouse drag. I hope that the display style of the scroll bar can be improved. I hope that an optional item can be added to make the scroll bar wider and brighter.
Love the new dark themes. Very readable.
Submitted by Mark Bratcher on Sun, 07/25/2021 - 10:57
After getting these new dark theme choices working, I've totally abandoned the default themes. My eyesight isn't what it used to be and the tiny Eclipse icons drove me crazy, and the standard white background theme was actually Ok. It just took some getting used to after coming off the dark theme of VS Code. And the standard dark theme in Eclipse is simply just ugly and not as readable.
The Darkest Dark themes make the small icons more distinct and I personally find the source code has a high degree of readability in this mode. I tried all of the dark theme choices and found a couple that I like the most in terms of how various elements are rendered.
