Disabling IDE Theme ? IDE is so slow

[Stéphane Wierzbicki 45]

Hello,

 

I'm trying to disable IDE Theme (because it is damn slow).

 

Setting Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\BDS\21.0\Theme\Enabled entry to Value: 0 brings me hope but :

 

IDE start with an exception:

 

and there are some disgraceful black painted controls and IDE 

 

Is there maybe another way to get rid of this ?

I seen a lot of people complaining about VCL Theme speed and IDE slow down.... Why the hell Embarcadero do not listen to their customers?

 

BTW I'm working with Delphi Sydney 10.4.1 + all available patches

So, like Internet Explorer, it was incorporated into MSWindows, today, the use of THEMES is closely linked to the RAD Studio IDE, so removing some settings or disabling the loading of those packages, can, and will, cause errors during loading and use of the IDE.

Thus, you may have on your screen some errors (simple or fatal) related to BDS.exe, which manages your IDE under the hood.

In a simpler example, you can disable the use of Themes using this key in the Registry:

 

Side effect: some options or menus that depend on the use of Themes, because then, they were designed, you will get an error message on the screen. However, if the error is not of the "FATAL" type, then you can continue to use your IDE normally, including your project.

 

Here is an example, where I turned off the use of THEMEs in the IDE, and at the same time, my project is set to use the theme

 

     

 

Setting (between other) on Registry that can affect the Themes on IDE
