mjakobi866, thanks for using DevStyle. Yes, a pure black backround is not currently possible. With some OS themes, it may not be possible to see some UI controls (e.g. drop down box arrows) if using pure black. However, we're looking at how best to address this issue. Thanks for reporting it.
This article explains customizations of themes: https://www.genuitec.com/docs/workbench/using-devstyle-themes/
Beyond that, syntax coloring is customizable via editor preferences for the various languages and the default text editor colors. If you'd like something beyond those customizations, please let us know (our support forum is a good place to discuss those requests).
I see the problem and will raise a bug report.
Go to Window->Preferences then the "C/C++"/"Editor"/"Syntax Coloring" page. Open the "Comments" node in the "Element" pane, select the type of comment you want to change, then click the colored rectangle to get a color choice dialog and select your color. Click the OK button.
I'm not sure I understand this issue. Are you referring to the Icon for the C/C++ perspective? If you've opted to no show text for perspectives then you can still hover over the icon to see the text. Yes, the new icon does show only "C++" but then the standard eclipse CDT icon shows only "C", so this may not be what you're referring to.
I hope this helps but if you want to raise new issues or discuss these issues further, please use our support forums, if possible, as this comment section in the MarketPlace is not an ideal space for investigating issues.
Sorry to say that, but I'm really disappointed about the popup advertising another product. It breaks the flow of mind and It's really annoying, if not abusive. I'm going to uninstall the plugin if this won't be corrected.
Francesco, as I stated earlier in the comments, this is the first popup in 14 months of DevStyle, sent to our users because we strongly believe CodeMix will improve their Eclipse dev experience.
Now typically, a user would see the notification just once, but I realize (from our Twitter conversation) that you are seeing it far more frequently, and I agree this can be frustrating. We will be releasing an update in the next couple of days that will correct this behavior. Thank you for letting us know, and we appreciate your patience.
Thank you for your answer. I hope that the correction will aim to get rid of popups altogether. I don't think than an IDE could be considered a good place for this kind of notifications. It's disturbing, as we already struggle to avoid popups on web pages.
Rohith, do you have macOS's "Show scroll bars" setting set to "Always"? You can change it to "When scrolling" to resolve this issue. Do let us know if that does not fix it.

I imported the Solarized light color, it works for the syntax. But if I want to use its background color, I need to check background color in Devstyle setting. This will change the background color at the beginning. But it will change back to default(white/black) color if I change to a different program's window. I am using Eclipse Oxygen at mac High Sierra. Thanks!
Sorry that you're seeing a problem, Jun Zhao. I tried to replicate the problem, from your description and couldn't. Could you please raise the issue on our support forums? The support forum is here: https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topics/devstyle/theme-problems/
We'd need to know exactly what settings were used on the DevStyle preferences pages and how you imported the Solarized theme, as well as specific release information for eclipse Oxygen and DevStyle. Some screenshots of the problem would be a big help, too.

Thanks for the comments, Naveen. I'm glad you're enjoying the theme and the other DevStyle features. Unfortunately, the start-up quotes are not accessible by users. Sorry!
Thanks for making such an awesome theme experience free to the community. I hate the default dark theme Eclipse provides since not everything is properly dark and the icons look awful.
However, DevStyle cleanly replaces all icons and impart an excellent themed experience. I use it for C/C++ development. One suggestion I have is you could make the syntax coloring better. This is an area where the eclipse default dark theme does a good job. e.g. I manually set the color of function to be green for easy identification and skimming of the code. You can take cues from editors like Sublime text as well.
I really like this, however I have one problem with it: In my package explorer, some entries do not get styled. The font is black and the background white instead of the other way around, which makes working with the package explorer unpleasant.
Thanks for using Darkest Dark, Daniel. I'm glad you like it. Regarding your problem with Package Explorer, could you provide more information, as I don't see the same issue at my end? What is the OS, the version of eclipse and a screenshot would help. Is it a certain type of entry that is causing the problem (a certain project type or file type, for example)? For problem investigation, our support forums are probably a better platform for investigating. If you could use the forums, rather than this MarketPlace listing page, then that would be awesome, but we can help here too (though sometimes with more of a delay).
Using Windows, When a list is opened, (i.e. with CTRL+SHIFT+T) the first element in the list is always highlighted with a lightgray color that makes it impossible to read the underlaying white text. Please fix, I love everything else about this theme!!
Glad you like the theme, DB! Sorry about the bad color scheme though I don't see that when I tried with the Darkest Dark theme on Windows 10, here. In my case, the highlight is a medium gray, not a light gray. Can you please report this on our forum with a screenshot of the problem and a note to say which version of DevStyle you have installed (you can get this from Help>Installation Details, Installed Software tab) and what your theme settings are in the DevStyle>Color Themes preferences page? Apologies for the inconvenience.
I don't know why Devstyle always erases the formatting of SYNTAX COLORING settings.
Once you close your Eclipse, all the format setting in syntax coloring will be reset to a fixed normal style, like italic of static items, of bold for keywords.
No matter how I saved the configuration it didn't change. Even importing a preferences file(.epf) can't overwrite the format
It seems like happened only in Dark series theme, Light series theme works fine.(But every one dose need the Darkest Dark)
For all the users seeing this problem, note that the fix is in the new update which is available now. Please check for updates to get the latest release of DevStyle. New installs of DevStyle will not see this issue. Sorry to all who've seen the issue for the inconvenience and thanks for installing the plug-in.
Charles, sorry you're also hitting this problem. As I've mentioned here, the fix for this will be in the next release which is due quite soon (sorry, no definite schedule). In the meantime, the only workaround, which appears to work for some people, is to reinstall eclipse and the DevStyle plug-in.
Again, really sorry that you're seeing this but, hopefully, we'll sort it out soon.
What concerns me is that this was fine then all of a sudden broken, I had done no updates but I have noticed some updates happening in Eclipse in background but I always have auto update turned off. Is DevStyle auto updating in background without my say so?
Sorry about this, Simon. It was actually a separate issue from the one reported earlier (though with the same symptom) but this has now been fixed in the latest update.
Same here: kept getting "Given how DevStyle intercepts certain components of this IDE, it is recommended to restart now." message on start and IDE was super unstable (e.g., TreeViews showed wrong node labels).
Wasted half a day on this; ended up installing Eclipse from scratch.
Many apologies for your wasted time, Martin. We've been investigating this for some time but have been unable to replicate consistently (we managed replication once but it's unclear whether it's an identical situation). We continue to try to track down the cause but I'm glad you eventually managed to get round it with a re-install (though that, obvioiusly, shouldn't have been necessary). Can you please let us know whether this started to occur after updating to CI 11, or after some other event? Also, which version of eclipse were you using? That mlight help us establish a pattern.
Again, sorry that you had this experience and thanks for using DevStyle.
After upgrading DevStyle yesterday, I have also met this problem. When I start up Eclipse, It keeps telling me to restart with the message of "Given how DevStyle intercepts certain components of this IDE, it is recommended to restart now. Continue with restart?". Needs help.
Wang Guojin, sorry you're seeing this. We've had a small number of users report the same problem but had been unable to replicate it consistently, making it difficult to debug. However, we've recently been able to replicate it consistently and have fixed the bug internally. Hopefully, it will make the next update.

1. PHP file and open folder icons are the old icons.
2. How can I change workbench color to the black? Custom color 0,0,0 showing somthing like gray color. I also want to change tab border color to same as the workbench color.
I'm afraid we can't provide replacement icons for every icon that might be available in various plugins though we do provide a facility for others to add to the collection of new icons. Please read this article for more information: https://www.genuitec.com/docs/workbench/devstyle-icon-designer/

I just experiences a couple of problems maybe you could improve.
I'm using Eclipse Oxigen 4.7.1a on Windows 10.
1. The icons have no difference when they are selected or not (i.e. the "Skip all Breackpoints" is exactly the same if selected or not. No borders no icon change, so I don't know if it is enabled).
2. When a list is opened, (i.e. with CTRL+SHIFT+T) the first element in the list is always highlighted with a lightgray color that makes hard to read the underlaying white text.
Thanks for the compliments Davide. I've done some checking on Oxygen and don't see the issues you mentioned. Could you provide us with more information, please? It would be better to deal with this on our support forum, if you can. We'd need to know the theme you're using (I checked with Darkest Dark) and whether you've altered any of the settings. Our DevStyle forums can be reached at https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topics/devstyle/
Dear Developer , I like the icon , Is`s beautiful. But I can not set a dark editor with a light workbench. Can you relieve the limit? Thank you very much for such a wonderful plug-in!
I'm afraid that editor themes optimized for a dark workspace theme cannot be imported with DevStyle. The only option you have is to use a classic eclipse theme and then import a dark editor theme as an epf file (using Filel>Import>General>Preferences). I'm afraid you you won't have DevStyle theme icons in this case.
I have raised an enhancement request to allow a dark editor theme with a light DevStyle theme but it may not be possible due to the optimizations DevStyle makes.
Submitted by Illés Attila on Tue, 2018-06-12 19:13
Hello! I have set a light theme, but i want only my text editors to hava darb background. I did the following: Preferences->General->Editors->Text Editors-> set the Background color to 30,30,30 -> push Apply. The editor turned dark, the rest of the Eclipse stayed light. Then I pushed Apply and Close and the editor turned back to light. Can we expect, that in a future release it will be posssible to set a dark text editor background for a light theme? Thank you for your reply!
Illés, those standard eclipse settings will be overriden when you choose to use a theme. You can, however, import themes from http://www.eclipsecolorthemes.org/ or even create one yourself. Such editor themes can be downloaded as XML files and then imported using Preferences->DevStyle->Color Themes but clicking the "Import" link. To use the theme's background in editors, select the "Theme Background" option under the Editor Theme. However, note that a dark background is assumed to be associated with a dark workspace theme and you may not be able to apply the theme.
I have been having trouble getting Eclipse colors for everything just right with the Default Dark Theme. This utility fixed most of the issues. It isn't perfect but resolved the major ones I had. The only problem is that now Eclipse keeps crashing. I'm going to have to uninstall it.
Jake - we're glad you like the theme. We haven't had reports of the theme causing crashes - can you help us by telling us what OS you're on, and what distribution, exactly, of Eclipse you are using? Do you have any additional third party plugins installed?

Constant restart prompt, wont update, current page has invalid..

Hi,
I am having issues with the plugin I can't seem to fix.
Firstly, when Eclipse opens, this prompt pops up (every time):
"Given how DevStyle intercepts certain components of this IDE, it is recommended to restart now. Continue with restart?"
When trying to update, it says update pending and nothing happens.
When trying to modify, it says "The currently displayed page contains invalid values."
Anyone have any idea what's going on? I tried to delete the metadata, but that changed nothing. Thanks!

Very nice Dark Theme, just minor problems
Submitted by Davide Ceraso on Thu, 2018-02-01 11:09
Hi congrats for this theme.
I just experiences a couple of problems maybe you could improve.
I'm using Eclipse Oxigen 4.7.1a on Windows 10.
1. The icons have no difference when they are selected or not (i.e. the "Skip all Breackpoints" is exactly the same if selected or not. No borders no icon change, so I don't know if it is enabled).
2. When a list is opened, (i.e. with CTRL+SHIFT+T) the first element in the list is always highlighted with a lightgray color that makes hard to read the underlaying white text.
For the rest it looks great to me till now,

Thanks for the compliments Davide. I've done some checking on Oxygen and don't see the issues you mentioned. Could you provide us with more information, please? It would be better to deal with this on our support forum, if you can. We'd need to know the theme you're using (I checked with Darkest Dark) and whether you've altered any of the settings.

Light workbench with dark editor

Dear Developer , I like the icon , Is`s beautiful. But I can not set a dark editor with a light workbench. Can you relieve the limit? Thank you very much for such a wonderful plug-in!

I'm afraid that editor themes optimized for a dark workspace theme cannot be imported with DevStyle. The only option you have is to use a classic eclipse theme and then import a dark editor theme as an epf file (using Filel>Import>General>Preferences). I'm afraid you you won't have DevStyle theme icons in this case.
I have raised an enhancement request to allow a dark editor theme with a light DevStyle theme but it may not be possible due to the optimizations DevStyle makes.

Hello! I have set a light theme, but i want only my text editors to hava darb background. I did the following: Preferences->General->Editors->Text Editors-> set the Background color to 30,30,30 -> push Apply. The editor turned dark, the rest of the Eclipse stayed light. Then I pushed Apply and Close and the editor turned back to light. Can we expect, that in a future release it will be posssible to set a dark text editor background for a light theme? Thank you for your reply!

Illés, those standard eclipse settings will be overriden when you choose to use a theme. You can, however, import themes from http://www.eclipsecolorthemes.org/ or even create one yourself. Such editor themes can be downloaded as XML files and then imported using Preferences->DevStyle->Color Themes but clicking the "Import" link. To use the theme's background in editors, select the "Theme Background" option under the Editor Theme. However, note that a dark background is assumed to be associated with a dark workspace theme and you may not be able to apply the theme.
If you have further questions or issues, it would be best if you raised them on our support forums: https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topics/devstyle/
Thanks for using DevStyle.
Looks Really Good; but crashes too often
Submitted by Jake Dugas on Tue, 2018-01-23 08:07
I have been having trouble getting Eclipse colors for everything just right with the Default Dark Theme. This utility fixed most of the issues. It isn't perfect but resolved the major ones I had. The only problem is that now Eclipse keeps crashing. I'm going to have to uninstall it.

Jake - we're glad you like the theme. We haven't had reports of the theme causing crashes - can you help us by telling us what OS you're on, and what distribution, exactly, of Eclipse you are using? Do you have any additional third party plugins installed?
