New icons and appearance for IDE

Hello everyone.

I wasn't satisfied with the IDE icons so I made my own. If someone wants them, just let me know and I'll send them.

Greetings.

Hi,Aristarco.

I like the new colours you gave to the Arduino_Window.Very cool appearance!
Can you please,show me how to do it.I am using an 1.6.0 version .

Thanks.

Hello Azduino

Sure! I modified the theme.txt file in \Arduino\lib\theme\ for the code to have the same color scheme I used back in the day when programming in Turbo Basic and Turbo Pascal.

For the icons I used colors like those Adobe used in the "Dark interface" theme of their products and modified the .gif files in the same \theme folder. Should you want to do the same, you can check the files I'm posting to modify yours or just replace them (whith the IDE closed.) When you open it, the changes must be visible.

I strongly advise that if you're taking the replace path, first rename all your files with _OLD at the end, so you can go back if you don't like 'em.

Cheers!

PS: I'm using IDE 1.6.3 but I don't think it makes any difference. Good luck!

Hello Aristarco

Thanks for your help.Now my Arduino Software has a more pleasant look!

I didn't write anything but just moved the old items into another folder

and then I copied yours in the original "theme" folder.

It worked perfectly.

Many thanks Aristarco, CHEERS!
