rc6 installed rc7 for me, the first 3 hours it seemed to stall a few times, and went blank once, but has settled down. I've noted a disturbing quirk...I'm using High Contrast Theia, it worked great on rc6, but RC7 is showing all HTML data in crappy brown, I did copy some HTML data to file and it displayed white/brown much better!, but after save reload it shows crappy brown again. Is there an easy way to maybe change this crappy brown?????
just encounterer a blank screen... just compiled and switched to monitor mode and got a couple of serial messages before wifi was started, then white screen with top header line, with small arduino img.
Then next line was File Edit Sketch Tools Help . Then blank page.
would not X off [top right corner]
had to task bar and END Process!!!!!!
Reloaded ok , seems ok, but loaded a different file than what I was working on, also my working file was not in recent files.
Reloaded working file and at first looks it appears to be correct ?
Hi @xtal1011. Thanks so much for your reports. Please provide instructions I can follow to reproduce the issue. It is not clear to me what "HTML data" means.
Please post a screenshot showing the coloration as you are accustomed to from 2.0.0-rc6 and another one of the bad coloration you are seeing in 2.0.0-rc7.
Please provide a detailed description of how you did that. I am not familiar with a "monitor mode".
HTML I mean the embedded webpage....and the entire webpage code is brown.
String header = is white then brown except \r\n =blue
String html_1 = is in white remainder from R"=====( thru )=====;
)=====";
Rc6 is not avail to check , but majority of HTML [webpage code] was white.
The program code looks the same .\ie multi color on dark black background.
monitor mode = serial monitor-->ctrl-shift-M.
The blank page is somtimes occuring after compile/upload complete message then
ctrl-shift-M I get 2 or 3 serial messages [I'm not sure if I get the 'connecting' message that
preceeds WiFi.begin(ssid,pass); this is white screen .
R=====( [greater than] !DOCTYPE html [ less than] ~~~[Gt] html [Lt ] )=====;
all brown!!!!!
just did file save put in file name, click save , screen flashed , then blank whit screen,
top line has small arudino img and header line is index.html , the next line was
File Edit sketch tools help ... I had this several times on rc6 , I finally X'd it off and reloaded Arduino. Sometimes [1 out of 5] the file is saved ok and no popup occurs, this white screen is similiar to the white screen I get after ctel-shift-M.
when changing back and forth from dark theia to high contrast dark theia you see a
white text screen for an instant.
installed rc6 on another computer ...... webpage color was crappy brown
installed rc5 over rc6 ..... webpage was white **************************
reinstalled rc6 over rc5 .... webpage was white *************************
reinstalled rc7 over rc6 ...... webpage color was crappy brown
reinstalled rc5 over rc7 ..... webpage was white
reinstalled rc7 over rc5 ...... webpage color was crappy brown
This likely means that the sequence of events needed to get a fix in the Arduino IDE will be like so:
Bug reported to Eclipse Theia
Bug fixed in Eclipse Theia
Production release of Eclipse Theia containing the bug fix
Update of Eclipse Theia version used by Arduino IDE to the one containing the fix.
I'm not very familiar with the Eclipse Theia project. I'll talk to one of my colleagues who is more knowledgeable about the subject on Monday and proceed from there
I getting a lot of white screens that that just rotate a circle of blue balls,
This is occuring quite often when using save file as....
The header [top screen] has small arduin img followed by index.html
the line below it has file edit sketch tools help......
Most of time I can click X to close app, but sometimes taskbar-end process
I did have 1 occurance I restarted , it displayed the last .ino I was working on.
I the did the [file save as] and after small delay white screen -I let it run a couple of minutes then X'ed it close..
I thought maybe a memory leak or Heap[work area] problem, but not so sure after that.
I've noticed that if the same file name exists and you [save file as] to that name it will save the file ok.
If the file name does not exist then [save file as] fails.
Hi @xtal1011. I have an update for the changed editor theming between Arduino IDE 2.0.0-rc7 and previous versions of the Arduino IDE 2.x when using the "High Contrast (Theia)" theme.
The IDE developers investigated the issue and determined that the pre-2.0.0-rc7 coloration was in fact a result of a bug in The Eclipse Theia IDE framework, which was fixed in the newer version of Theia used by Arduino IDE 2.0.0-rc7. So this new editor coloration is permanent.
That is correct. The developers determined that the author of the theme intended for the editor to have the coloration you see in Arduino IDE 2.0.0-rc7 and onward.
If you aren't satisfied with any of the preinstalled themes, you may be interested in the information that was shared here:
I tried some of the themes , but none of them change the crappy brown html color , I wonder whats wrong with white or cyan,or light gray. Is there a good free HTML editor , I can always #include HTML , also would look cleaner.
I wouldn't bother looking for an HTML-specific editor. Instead, I would use a general purpose editor that has any HTML-related capabilities you might want.
The most popular (and best IMO) general purpose editor is VS Code:
There are several very popular extensions to add additional HTML-related capabilities to VS Code.
