Amazing Dark Theme
Submitted by Manoj Baishya on Wed, 08/17/2022 - 13:39
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.

In reply to Amazing Dark Theme by Manoj Baishya
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.
auto update deletes my server setting

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.

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!

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

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.
