Hi guys !!!
I take advantage of my free time and made this program. It is useful to change the regular arduino theme. Try it and say what do you think about it.

great job !

i think you have to add only one thing and it's perfect : adding our own buttons images and a small pixel by pixel image editor :wink:

I continue working in this project. I recently added some features like:

  • The application is able to install "Fonts" from the "THEME_RES\Theme Font\Font" Folder
  • The application is able to identify the version of Arduino
  • The application is able to copy the "preferences.txt" file
  • The application is able to Edit the "preferences.txt" file. (Change the editor´s font)
  • The application detect Folders inside of "THEME_RES" (Maximun 10 Themes)
  • Based on: Solarized Theme for Arduino IDE - Libraries - Arduino Forum I added the Solarized Theme. Thanks to "loglow" for the Icons :slight_smile:

Au, those colours really hurt my eyes :slight_smile:

  • If I have multiple editors open, can they be colored differently?
  • does the serial monitor also follow the colour scheme?

Thanks and sorry for the spam :cold_sweat:

  • If I have multiple editors open, can they be colored differently?
    The application uses directly the Arduino files (theme.txt and preferences.txt). So Arduino only can have one configuration or Theme. But you can have multiple Arduino folders and change the theme for each one. Arduino1 (theme1.txt, preferences1.txt) , Arduino2 (theme2.txt, preferences2.txt) , ArduinoN (themeN.txt, preferencesN.txt)

  • does the serial monitor also follow the colour scheme?
    The serial monitor is not affected.

Graynomad sorry for the delay !!!

About your question this program was tested under Arduino IDE version 1.0.1 , 1.0.5 and 1.5.4 probably if you are using a differente version it does not work because the path is different.

Switch (Get_Arduino_Version())
Case "1.0.1" Or "1.0.5"
$Preferences_File_Path = @AppDataDir&"\Arduino\preferences.txt"
Case "1.5.4"
$Preferences_File_Path = @AppDataDir&"\Arduino15\preferences.txt"
Case Else
MsgBox (16,"Error","Arduino preferences file was not found.")
EndSwitch

So, what version of Arduino IDE are you using ?

Hello Jeffmx,
I am using the latest Arduino 1.6.8 and this version of the editor does not works as you explained above, is there any new version?
Thanks

If this is what the code currently contains, then the editor will fail on the current version of the IDE. Is the source code available for those who want to fix it?
Thanks
