Code Completion Colours (Twilight)

[Richard_Stevens 2]

10.3.2 defaults for this are fairly unreadable (see attachment)... does anybody know if can I change this anywhere?

 

Thanks

Richard

Set "Dark" IDE Theme.

Thank you, that does indeed change the colour of the code completion window, though I'm not a huge fan of the dark theme more generally.

 

So, revised question: can I change those colours AND keep using the light IDE theme? 😊

Your can extract WIN10IDE_LIGHT resource from ModernTheme260.bpl, change SysColors.clHighlight by the BitmapStyleDesigner.exe and replace the style resource.

But it will affects on the some other UI elements, M main menu items, for example.

I have the same problem mentioned above, is there any tutorial on how to export the IDE theme from 10.3.1 to 10.3.2?

Export is not required, it's the same theme. Changed the drawing method.

I'm sorry to insist on the question, but could I just copy the ModernTheme260.bpl file from version 10.3.1 and paste it into 10.3.2?
If not, how would I change "SysColors.clHighlight" from version 10.3.2? I really didn't find how to do that.
Could you point me somewhere to research on the subject?

1. Run any resource editor (ResourceHacker, for example) and open ModernTheme260.bpl
2. Extract resource "WIN10IDE_LIGHT" to file *.vsf
3. Open saved file in the Bitmap Style Designer ($(BDSBIN)\BitmapStyleDesigner.exe)
4. In the tree-structure "Objects" find node "SysColors" and item "clHighlight"
5. Change the "clHighlight" to you prefered color
6. Save modified style and close Style Designer
7. Using resource editor replace resource "WIN10IDE_LIGHT" in ModernTheme260.bpl by the modified style file.

 

p.s. This issue planed to fix soon.

Thank you very much.
You are the man !

5.5. It also makes sense to change the clHighlightText color for better look of some IDE parts (ObjectInspector, Options Dialogs, New Items dialog).
