Dark Theme for Arduino IDE

Lovely.... thanks

Thank you

Excellent...exactly what I was looking for.....perfect dark theme. Thank you for your efforts...appreciated..

Gracias por este trabajo, amigo. Siempre me resultó fatigante para la vista la pantalla blanca , a partir de ahora será mucho mas placentero trabajar con el IDE de Arduino. Felcitaciones !!

Hello friend, I have a macbook with macOS Mojave and I want to know, there is some way to use this on macOS?

This is really nice. My only question is ... how can I make it so that brackets, curly braces, and parenthesis do not make the background white when one is selected? For example, when the mouse cursor is on a parenthesis for someFunction(), I can't see the mouse cursor because the background is white.

I installed this theme but I would like to make the numbers, (currently yellow) a different color. Where in the theme.txt file are the number's color set? Also, is there somewhere where I can find a definition of the commands in that file? Thank you.

i just say IT WORKS THANK YOU!!! looks wery good

Why is this line colored green ? I found that whenever " and ) or ( come with each other, the green line will show. Can anyone help me ?

If you have downloaded the arduino app via Microsoft store you won't be able to find the arduino installed folder. That's because its located at "WindowsApps" which is located in :C:\\Program Files\\WindowsApps" and it's hidden. But it can be unlocked.See how its done : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEB9_JCaqFY or From : https://www.maketecheasier.com/access-windowsapps-folder-windows-10/

Hi. I just installed your dark theme on my Arch Linux PC. Works fine. Thank you. Since I updated my JDK to OpenJDK 11 (jre-openjdk 11.0.3.u4-1) I have a small problem with menus and the debug window (bottom). Both: with the original theme and your dark theme. In the debug window there is not a black but a light gray background making strange looking compiler and run time messages with black background. In the menus there are missing borders from check boxes. I think, this is a Java problem, but I don't understand, where to configure.

How do you make a post like this........ I just knew this website Pls tell me!!

Dude...It's just awesome. Thanks for the dark theme. It reduces stress on my eyes and the ide looks cool.

Queria saber como fazer para deixar a IDE em modo escuro no linux, ai foi explicado para o windows, se alguem souber.

Thanks for sharing this super easy way to put a dark theme into Arduino IDE! It worked perfectly on arduino 1.8.9!

Confirmed this works under macOS with IDE 1.8.13. Need to ensure the *contents* of the theme folder are zipped and not the theme folder itself.

thanks

Absolutely loving it! Thank you!

Hello, how do you install the theme using the Windows App? The theme folder is protected and cannot be changed.

The orange highlight colour when selecting text is terrible. So I went into the theme.txt file and changed this line, " # selection color editor.selection.color = #4f4f4f " #4f4f4f is light gray but you can make it whatever you want.

The orange text highlight colour makes the text almost unreadable, change the highlight section from theme.txt with this. # selection color editor.selection.color = #4a4845

Amazing! Thank you so much!

Current installation is not user friendly. I'm improving installation in this pull request: https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/pull/10202 Now to enable a true Dark Mode, is need a mod on IDE , i done in this: https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/pull/10203 I made the build with these and other improvements and made available the link below, who can test it would be cool. https://github.com/ricardojlrufino/Arduino/releases

It worked perfectly!! thank u so much !! easy to install and easy to download

Heads up that Arduino folder in Windows 10 is located in "C:\\Program Files\\WindowsApps\\". By default you have no access to the folder so if somebody want to install the dark theme first google how you can access the folder. Here is the link I used to learn how to do that https://www.maketecheasier.com/access-windowsapps-folder-windows-10/. Hope the info is useful.

Thank you, it was exactly what I was looking for to have some comfort while using Arduino. =D

Is there a way to extend the theme to the Serial monitor and plotter?

this tutorial doesn't seem to work anymore for **Arduino IDE 1.8.13** The repo [DarkArduinoTheme](https://github.com/jeffThompson/DarkArduinoTheme) was archived by JeffThomson.

Hi there, I discovered an easier way to don't need to replace anything and the new theme dark will come on the theme list on Arduino Preferences. https://youtu.be/puuOu03p__0

Thank you!!!

Tried this, fantastic, so restful on the eyes. find it easier to find any code errors. 5*****

Thanks for this. The Dark Theme is easier for me to see and will help others with a visual impairment as, I have found out, it is not possible to change the font to bold etc. in the editor preferences. This theme makes it much easier for me. Thank you :-)

I have an issue where i can not open the Arduino file location on drive c where it is installed. How can i be able to change the theme?

Thanks, I just updated my IDE and wanted the dark theme again. Sorry that you are not actively working on this project anymore. What are you up to now? I will check out your GitHub repository for more great items. Thanks again, MT.

It also works fine on Kali Linux, just extract the .zip file and copy "theme" folder to .../Arduino/

But, the color of //... and /*...*/ look like the "{}" it can make confuse!

it works also with 1.6.5 It's a little too dark for me, so I've to play around with some colors. Thanks for the theme

I love this theme. I only change the dark green to a very light grey. Thx
