Dark theme woes

Projects Libraries
1

I recently upgraded to the current IDE version 1.8.10 and neglected to save a copy of my dark theme file. I thought I had a backup but can't find it. So, I went to the interweb to find something similar and got pretty close. There's this - GitHub - per1234/ino-themes at themeDark-Jerware but it doesn't render on my screen as shown at the link. What I mean is the example shows yellow numerals while on my screen all the numerals and bracketing characters ()[]{}/ are black and I can't figure out which value in theme.txt (attached) I need to change. The filename tabs at the top are useless, too, but I can attend to that later.

I've gone back and forth changing settings and so far no joy. I've also tried several other theme files with the same negative result. I suspect the difficulty is that it's so simple I can't see it.

Any clues to be had?

The problem is that you only installed the theme.txt file. You forgot to install theme/syntax/default.xml. Install that file, then restart the Arduino IDE and it will look just like the screenshot:

If you end up wanting to modify some elements of the theme still, I have written some documentation about the Arduino IDE's theme system, as well as a library that helps to test all elements of custom themes:

Aaargh! It's so easy when one follows the instructions exactly.
