Whether you are new to programming or have been coding for a while, you may be wondering how to change the Dev C++ theme. The Dev C++ theme is the color scheme and overall look of the coding environment. While the default theme is black and white, you can change the colors to better suit your needs. In this article, we will show you how to change the Dev C++ theme.
In the Color theme list, choose between the default Dark theme, the Blue theme, the Blue (Extra Contrast) theme, and the Light theme. Or, choose the Use system setting option to select the theme that Windows uses.

Want even more themes to choose from? Check out the wide range of custom themes on the Visual Studio Marketplace. And to see examples of new Visual Studio 2022 custom themes based on VS Code, take a look at the Introducing a collection of new Visual Studio themes blog post.
Tip: By default, the theme is stored in your user settings and applies globally to all workspaces. You can also configure a workspace specific theme. To do so, set a theme in the Workspace settings.
Windows and macOS support light and dark color schemes. There is a setting, window.autoDetectColorScheme, that instructs VS Code to listen to changes to the OS's color scheme and switch to a matching theme accordingly.
When semantic highlighting is enabled and available for a language, it is up to the theme to configure whether and how semantic tokens are colored. Some semantic tokens are standardized and map to well-established TextMate scopes. If the theme has a coloring rule for these TextMate scopes, the semantic token will be rendered with that color, without the need for any additional coloring rules.
If semantic tokens are available for the language at the given position and enabled by theme, the inspect tool shows a section semantic token type. The section shows the semantic token information (type and any number of modifiers) as well as the styling rules that apply.
Creating and publishing a theme extension is easy. Customize your colors in your user settings then generate a theme definition file with the Developer: Generate Color Theme From Current Settings command.
By default, the Seti file icon set is used and those are the icons you see in the File Explorer. Once a file icon theme is selected, the selected theme will be remembered and appear again whenever VS Code is restarted. You can disable file icons by selecting None.
VS code ships with two file icon themes; Minimal and Seti. To install more file icon themes, select the Install Additional File Icon Themes item in the file icon theme picker and you'll see a query for file icon themes (tag:icon-theme) in the Extensions view.
According to a survey, 70% of software engineers prefer a Dark theme IDE over the light theme. You will always a lot of dark theme in the popular theme section of any IDE. So why? Developers love the dark theme. So here I am going to list some reasons why I like the Dark theme.
As obvious a dark theme helps us to focus on the screen without having irritation in our eyes. The dark theme doesn't make we go dry as compared to the white theme. During the low light situation, Dark theme is the most preferred theme.
Human eyes easily find something brighter in dark surround, it comes from our ancestor. So Dark Background helps us to see the font colour clearly in the editor. Also, the different colour for the different element is easily recognizable in the dark theme. It makes code easily readable because of contrast.
This point doesn't sound like an obvious reason but a dark theme help to save energy. It might be not a lot of energy but still, if you are working on the laptop for a long session it can be helpful. Also if most people use dark theme it will result in a large quantity of energy being saved.
People with astigmatism (approximately 50% of the population) find it harder to read white text on black than black text on white. Part of this has to do with light levels: with a bright display (white background) the iris closes a bit more, decreasing the effect of the "deformed" lens; with a dark display (black background) the iris opens to receive more light and the deformation of the lens creates a much fuzzier focus at the eye.
Might be it's hard for white colour but other colours on black are easily readable. On white, we have a lot of trouble to read bright colour while on black we can easily read the bright colour without any trouble. IDE is made of multiple colours with each element is different, so dark is very suitable is such a situation.
I'm using dark theme everywhere not only in code IDE, because after over 30 years of computer use, I found dark screen so much pleasant for my eyes. I don't agree that light is smooth because I feel so much light from screen to my eyes in that way.
I used light themes for years. Then I suddenly switched to dark ones, because all my colleagues where using them. I found out a better experience, but when the sun shines in the room I think the light themes will perform better.
I didn't really like dark themes ... I always used the light "normal" theme or modified it to be more grayish.Then, most of the development tools went the dark mode route by default and I felt it was too much trouble to change all of them so I stuck with it.Now, I finally understand it was better all along and it was just that I was not used to it. I should have forced myself to use it years ago.
Soothing to the eye... that depends. A light background can be just as good. Spacemacs e.g. has a very nice light theme. I tend to use the light one during the day, and switch to the dark one in the evening.
The energy saving point is a myth, unless you have an OLED screen, and even then the only way it saves energy is if you have the background set to completely black. And hardly any dark theme does that.
I would like the dark theme, but I have to switch between the dark IDE and the light background websites and that ruins my eyes. The solution would be to switch the desktop to completely dark mode (via xfce4-night-mode, customized .vimrc to toggle background at night, etc.) and also view the websites in night mode, but I think that would be more work than advantage.
I first thought dark theme is this gamer kiddy thing to look more like RGB style but in the end when you sit in front of your screen for 8+ hours multiple days dark theme was way easier on my eyes and I stayed with it.
It is actually scientific that the light theme (dark on bright) is more readable, has much better contrast and makes you more productive. Dark theme on the other hand makes you work much harder in order to comperehend what you are seeing.
I have seen with my own eyes how my developers struggle with the dark theme (not seeing things, having a hard time reading) while insisting at the same time that it's better (because everyone else says it's better...)
Popularised by Blackle, an energy-saving, dark-themed alternative to Google, the energy saving nature of dark themed apps mostly only applies to mobile phones with an (AM)OLED screen and computers running an old-fashioned box monitor.
The boxy CRT monitors of the 90's and early 00's, similarly to modern (AM)OLED screens, creates light pixel by pixel. That means that the more light that's created, the more energy used. Thus, the brighter overall look of a theme, the more energy used.
The vast majority of laptop screens and current desktop displays work differently. LCD screens start with a certain amount of light coming from a backlight. That light passes through a screen which dims certain pixels depending on how dark a theme is. Aside from screens with intelligent, multi-zone backlight dimming, the darker the screen doesn't mean less energy is used because the backlight is still on.
In addition to the backlight, the switching of the LCD pixels from light to dark uses energy. This can differ because some screens use energy to switch from light to dark, and then spring back to light when the power is removed, while others use energy to switch from dark to light. The former screens will even use more energy for a dark theme because it takes power to keep the pixels of the LCD screen dark.
Finally, I personally tend to turn up the overall brightness of my screen when using a dark theme so that the text pops out even more. In the case of an LCD screen that works exactly the wrong way for trying to save energy.
After further examination, I believe your certificates have expired. If that is the case, I ask you to fix this and let me know when I can install this theme again. Otherwise, please let me know what to do to be able to install this theme.
The deep black theme is really beautiful.However, I have a problem when viewing multiple panels together. When I have the code, the package explorer on the left, the outline on the right and the console below, I can't distinguish the different sections because there is no border to distinguish them. Could you kindly add borders of a different color to better delineate the sections?
My IDE was never the same again after installed this. It bugs the editors sooner or later. Even after i uninstalled and created another workspace i cant' open 'application.properties' files, if i try it, all other editors get unable to open files. It occured only after i installed this theme...
Manoj, glad you are enjoying DevStyle, and thank you for sharing the screenshot to explain your request. This is not something you can currently change with DevStyle and I believe it's something that will be based on the OS level theme. Since you are using Gnome, perhaps you could change it there, or are you looking for a different color just in Eclipse?
Okay, understood! I changed the Gnome theme, but that does not alter the colour. It would be good to have the menu item highlighted in a different colour so that the text looks a little more readable, but it is just a minor issue which can be overlooked. Thanks. 2ff7e9595c
