Arduino IDE colors have changed

Hi There,

I don't know why, but from one day the other the background color of my IDE has changed!
I haven't changed anything (at least not consciously :slight_smile: ).

I attached a screenshot of what the IDE looks like.
I tried to reinstall, but that was not successful.

Any idea what's going on?

Best regards,
Julian

You have set your IDE to use an external editor. This is useful when you prefer to use a different text editor, and only want to use the IDE to compile, upload, install libraries, install hardware packages, but not to edit sketches. When in external editor mode, any changes you make to the open sketch file in your text editor will be reflected in the Arduino IDE. If you want to go back to using the Arduino IDE's text editor, do this:

  • File > Preferences
  • Uncheck the box next to "Use external editor".
  • Click "OK".

Thank you so much!
I cannot remember doing that.. :smiley:

You're welcome. I'm glad if I was able to be of assistance. Enjoy!
