SVN linked local file changes indicator
Submitted by Arpit Parasana on Fri, 2018-08-31 11:11
Liked overall, would love to have an extra feature where eclipse put a star beside a file which has local file changes that need to be checked out to SVN (like normal theme has).
Re: SVN linked local file changes indicator
Submitted by Tony Weddle on Wed, 2018-09-05 01:55
Thanks for your comments, Arpit. Regarding the file change indicator for SVN files, I see a star decoration for changed files in my test, so I must have a different setup to you. Could you please raise the issue in our support forums: https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topics/devstyle/theme-problems/ ? Please include as much detail as possible, including the SVN plugin you're using, the version of eclipse, the DevStyle theme and your OS and version. Our support forums are a better way of addressing problems, rather than the comments section here and we should be able to get to the cause of the problem there.
Heap status component
Submitted by Arpit Parasana on Tue, 2018-08-28 10:23
"Heap status" on the bottom right corner on this theme has a black progress bar and text, so when progress bar overlaps the text, cannot read the text, as everything is dark.
Re: Heap status component
Submitted by Tony Weddle on Wed, 2018-09-05 02:57
Arpit, apologies for my last reply to this issue. I was confusing a couple of features. Yes, there is a problem with the contrast between the heap status text and the color of the free space area, making the text difficult to read. I've raised a bug report for that. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Re: Heap status component
Submitted by Tony Weddle on Wed, 2018-09-05 02:49
Arpit, if possible, could you raise the issue in our support forum at: https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topics/devstyle/theme-problems/ ? It's not clear what plugin is providing the heap status for you, as it isn't a standard part of eclipse. I do see something similar in the heap status available with MyEclipse and will raise a bug report for that (though the text is just readable). If you're not referring to MyEclipse, please give as much detail as possible in the support forum mentioned above.

Breath-taking: New 'Deep Black' within DevStyle!!! ^_^
Submitted by Eligio Merino on Thu, 2018-08-09 16:47
I just love the new 'Deep Black' theme within DevStyle!!! It is so cool and breath-taking that I got it installed on my Oxygen, Photon and even STS (Spring Tools Suite) and Angular-IDE!!! You may need to update DevStyle to its latest version in order to see it and try it out, but one thing is for sure: you are going to love it too!!! ^_^
Brilliant plugin
Submitted by Mchael Pujos on Thu, 2018-08-09 11:49
The new "Deep Black" theme is great. It improves readability, providing more contrast between backgrounds and UI / text.
Also congrats to Genuitec for actively listening to users and bug reports.
Java editor wrong horizontal scrollbar
Submitted by Irina Cendrero on Thu, 2018-08-09 05:45
First of all, congrats for the great work.
After upgrading DevStyle to 1.11.0.201805291134 version, the horizontal scrollbar in editors is appearing like eclipse default instead of black and slim like DevStyle style. The vertical scrollbar still shown correctly.
With same config in previous version (1.11.0.201805291134) it works correctly and both scrollbars was shown acordling to theme.
Can you help me? Some suggestions? It's a known bug?

ANSI new C/C++ project toolchain disappears
Submitted by Kai Kai on Sat, 2018-07-21 23:25
After installing the theme, it looks really good!
However, I encountered a problem when creating a new project,
which is that the entire toolchain turned whiteout missing out the available choice of cross GCC and MinGW Gcc.This is comfirmed after changing the settings back to default.
I would loved to continue to use this theme.I'm using photon june2018.

Kai,
Sorry you're seeing this issue. I tried a few ways to replicate it but, so far, haven't been able to. If possible, could you raise the issue on our support forums, so that we can better try to resolve the problem? For theme problems, please use: https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topics/devstyle/theme-problems/
Whether you post on the forums or not, please let us know the OS you're using and which DevStyle color theme you've selected, as well as the actions you're taking on the new project wizard to make sure we're looking at the same window. Additionally, if you've made any personalizations to the desktop in your OS, please mention that.
Thanks for your kind comments on the plugin. We'd sure like to improve it by resolving this issue and hope you can help us do so.
Darkest Dark theme adding new Java class window dark cursor
Submitted by Jingfeng Zhao on Thu, 2018-07-19 11:58
Hi, good plugin overall. I have one issue, when using the Darkest Dark theme, when adding new Java classes, in the new Java file window, the cursor for typing class name is black and it is on black background, which is hard to see. Can we improve this?
Re: Darkest Dark theme adding new Java class window dark cursor
Submitted by Tony Weddle on Wed, 2018-07-25 04:29
Jingfeng Zhao, thanks for your comments on the plugin. I'm assuming that you're using a Mac, as I could only reproduce the issue on that OS. If you're using some other platform, please raise an issue on our support forums at https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topics/devstyle/theme-problems/
If you're on a Mac, the problem is seen in other wizards also but I note it doesn't stop use of those wizards. I've raised the problem with development and we will certainly seek to improve the experience here though there does seem to be a problem with dark themes generally (the standard eclipse Dark theme also exhibits the problem) so there might be an issue with the OS. However, we'll do our best to make this a better experience.
Thanks again for reporting the problem.

Re: Broke eclipse

Thomas,
We're keen to figure out what happened in your situation, both to help you and in case others come across it. We have thousands of Oxygen and Photon users of the plugin and, as Brian pointed out, we've tested extensively with both eclipse releases, including with upgraded installs from Oxygen to Photon but have not seen the issue you're reporting. If you'd like to help resolve it, please raise the issue on our support forums where we can investigate it more thorougly as this is not the best forum for the exchanges that might be needed. We look forward to helping you at https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topics/devstyle/
Re: Broke eclipse
Submitted by Brian Fernandes on Tue, 2018-07-17 08:11
Thomas, I'm sorry you had a bad experience with DevStyle. DevStyle is compatible with Photon, and there's no way it can revert your installation back to Oxygen, unless a "downgrade path" was chosen during installation itself, perhaps due to other plugins you may have had installed. Our team has specifically tested multiple Photon installations, even those which had been upgraded from Oxygen, and it works as expected. Unfortunately, the downgrade could have resulted in a corrupted installation, and this is likely the cause of the lockups you experienced.
If you try DevStyle again, please note any issues / alt installation paths that are suggested during installation. We'll be happy to help with any installation issues you may have - you can report them here, or better still, use our support forum: https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topics/devstyle/
Tiny improvement is necessary 2 : Last line number
Submitted by Yoruichi Shihouin on Sun, 2018-06-10 22:00
Env: Windows 10 64-bit, Eclipse 4.7.3a
Hello, there is one more thing I have found so far after I issued the scrollbar problem.
If I try to scroll down until the end of the file on source code window in general, I can only see horizontally half of the last line number. However, if I execute scrolling on the 'line number panel' directly, it can be fully shown.
Thanks for your cooperation!
Re: Tiny improvement is necessary 2 : Last line number
Submitted by Tony Weddle on Wed, 2018-06-13 00:55
Yoruichi,
A workaround for this issue is to maximize the editor (double click on the tab for this editor). I hope that helps until we fix this.
Re: Re: Tiny improvement is necessary 2 : Last line number
Submitted by Yoruichi Shihouin on Wed, 2018-06-13 20:57
Thank you Tony for you workarounds!
I tried maximizing the tabs and also picking out one of them to maximize it individually outside the editor.
However, both did not work well, though I can endure this somehow :)
Thanks again!

Tiny improvement is necessary: No vertical scrollbar
Submitted by Yoruichi Shihouin on Wed, 2018-06-06 21:17
Thanks for your effort for making this tool.
I just installed it few days ago and was wandering what's inside.
Currently, I'm using Windows 10 64-bit and Eclipse Oxygen.3a Release (4.7.3a).
Whenever I feel that the codes are horizontally too long, I tend to wrap them using Alt + Shift + Y hotkey.
Then, intuitively, a vertical scrollbar is expected to appear if the load of codes exceeds the screen, however, it did not appear.
At first, I thought, it is Eclipse which might have the problem, but after turning off the tool by changing the option in preference menu, I could see that scrollbar appeared well from inactive gray mode to active mode, for instance.
It would be appreciated if this problem is solved.
I send my gratitude in advance!

HSL settings of Dark Custom Workbench theme are off
Submitted by Marc Jakobi on Mon, 2018-05-28 10:58
In Window --> Preferences --> DevStyle --> Color Themes, I have the Workbench theme set to "Dark Custom".
Normally, HSL(0,0,0) should be pitch black. However, this results in a light brownish grey workbench collor. Setting HSL to (0,0,100) creates the darkest workbench theme. However, it is still not black. It is a (quite ugly) dark brownish grey.
It would be nice to be able to set the HSL values of the Custom Dark workbench theme to a pitch black colour.
Re: HSL settings of Dark Custom Workbench theme are off
Submitted by Tony Weddle on Fri, 2018-06-01 02:11
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.
How to customize editor theme?
Submitted by Zeta Investigator on Sat, 2018-05-26 10:06

1- It is mentioned that theme colors are customizable yet I don't see anywhere which that customization could be acheived.

Re: How to customize editor theme?
Submitted by Tony Weddle on Fri, 2018-06-01 01:32
Thanks for the feedback, zinvestigator.
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 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.

Please allow the user to deactivate the popup
Submitted by Francesco Muccilli on Mon, 2018-04-23 04:54
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.
Re: Please allow the user to deactivate the popup
Submitted by Brian Fernandes on Tue, 2018-04-24 07:10
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.
Re: Please allow the user to deactivate the popup
Submitted by Francesco Muccilli on Tue, 2018-04-24 09:51
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.

Cannot custom background color, please fix

Great UI experience but can do more in code syntax coloring
Submitted by Pralhad Sapre on Wed, 2018-03-14 16:50
Hi,
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.
