Ruud 0 Posted October 17 The color scheme of the Delphi 11.3 IDE can be edited via : Tools/Options/User Interface/Editor/Color The original color scheme ('Color SpeedSetting') is : (unnamed) That color scheme is stored in the registry key : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\BDS\22.0\Editor\Highlight (= Key01) and : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\BDS\22.0\Editor\Highlight\Inbuilt Themes\(unnamed) (= Key02) Key01 contains the subkey 'Structral Highlighting' . Key02 doesn't . The original Key01 does not contain the subkey 'Custom Themes' . I then changed some Delphi IDE color settings via : Tools/Options/User Interface/Editor/Color and some color settings via : Tools/Options/User Interface/Editor/Color/Structural Highlighting and saved this as color scheme : Test01 Key01 now contains the subkey \Custom Themes\Test01 (= Key03) Key03 does not contain the subkey 'Structral Highlighting' The color settings I changed via : Tools/Options/User Interface/Editor/Color/Structural Highlighting are stored in Key01/Structural Highlighting I have 2 questions : 1. is it correct that a Custom Theme can't have his own 'Structral Highlighting' settings ? 2. IIRC this was possible in D10.4 (21.0) ; has this been changed in D11.3 (22.0) ? Share this post Link to post

IIRC this was possible in D10.4 (21.0) ; has this been changed in D11.3 (22.0) ? I did some more testing , and I think I made a mistake : Custom Themes in D10.4 (21.0) did not originally contain the subkey 'Structral Highlighting' . This is what went wrong . I use the same color scheme for the Delphi IDE at least since D5 (perhaps even D2) , and for every D-version I exported the relevant registry key to a reg-file . Everytime I installed a new D-version , I used the exported reg-file of the previous D-version , to store my color scheme in the registry . I compared the reg-file with the original settings of D10.3 with the one of D10.4 , and found that Custom Themes were introduced in D10.4 . After installing D10.4 , I used the D10.3 reg-file to create the 'correct' Custom Themes subkey in D10.4 . I did this by replacing : [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\BDS\20.0\Editor\Highlight] which correctly contains the subkey 'Structral Highlighting' , with : [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\BDS\21.0\Editor\Highlight\Custom Themes\Test01] and imported the resulting new reg-file in the registry . By doing so , I generated the 'Structral Highlighting' subkey in Custom Theme Test01 myself . Remains the question : Why is there no 'Structral Highlighting' subkey for every Custom Theme ?
