No custom colors with FORCE IDE?
I use a dark color scheme with debian and it's made it difficult to see the eclipse IDE (force IDE). Is there no way to customize the color settings? Seems silly, as *every* other editor I use allows this.
May be this will help you.
Thanks
Don't know if it's just my browser (Iceweasel) but I didn't see that link above at first.
Well, I tried using those color options, but I couldn't find one that matched plain text. Here's a screenshot of my current IDE with my color scheme on:
I'm getting the same. Any luck with this?
This remains an issue still. If anyone has a workaround it would be greatly appreciated.
I don't know if they've fixed the force.com IDE yet, but I highly recommend using Eclipse with the Force.com plug-in. I use it because it does allow font customizations (I can't stand huge text..)
You'll need to use
If you need more information or get stuck along the way, message me and I'll send you some more formal instructions that I've given to my other administrators for installation.
I already am using the Eclipse Force.com IDE but there is no way to customize the colors in it, that I can find. I tried using the Eclipse Color Theme plugin, but I too was receiving very dark theme colors regardless of what I chose.
So I tried this out earlier today and found the same results.
It appears that a request has been put in at github https://github.com/eclipse-color-theme/eclipse-color-theme/issues/30 which they report that there's no support for changing colors on Apex editor files.
Here's an idea that you could vote on and hopefully Salesforce will get around to it. https://success.salesforce.com/ideaView?id=08730000000BrpuAAC
While they're at it, I hope they enable it for their new Dev conosole... the font on that makes me feel like I should be developing from the other side of the room.
Otherwise it looks like your best bet at this time is to manually go through and update everything in the Color & Fonts section.
I started updating the Colors And Fonts manually but you cannot quite edit it enough... at least we can change the font size right !
