I want to change my theme in CodeBlocks to dark. And I do not mean just the editor's theme.
I'll show you what I mean:
I want to change every whitespace to dark. How can I do so?
CodeBlocks doesn't have this feature. The closest you can get is this which is most probably not the solution you would desire.

I've been meaning to add a background image to WebStorm, however I'd like it to only affect tools such as the project, commit and terminal tabs. However, the image displays on the editor tab, and it is kind of annoying as it affects readability.
In the past (bug or feature, I'm not sure) I have managed to set it to only tools, but since changing computers I cannot get it to work.
I'd really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks a lot in advance!
I am using the version of WebStorm, 2018.1
When I try to set the look&feel from Darcula to a light appearance, it does not completely do that. Some parts of the UI stick to the dark theme.
Any ideas how I can solve this?
You are using Material Theme UI plugin right?
It sets own GUI Theme in some another way (overrides stuff on the go?). You have to disable the plugin first and restart IDE. After that you can use bundled GUI Themes.
That's how it worked before .. so must still work the same even now.
I'm looking for something similar to how Visual Studio will show tooltips when hovering the mouse over anything in the editor (type information, method details, other useful information, etc.). Is this a configurable option in PyCharm? I've yet to find it.
Thanks.
It's available via quick documentation hotkey only, vote for the issue so that it also works on hover.
This is a kind of unorthodox question. Frankly, I won't lie to you. I am new to programming and am planning to improve myself. I enjoy coding but I need something to keep me going during the down times, so my question is:
Is there such a thing as a code editor skin? A compiler skin?
For example, you have the Command Prompt, it has a black background with white writing, it seems geeky, exactly what I want.
I want a compiler that looks like command prompt...black with white writing (or green) or still has color coding (some compilers change color of text based on command). Yes, this is mainly for boasting, but I don't want to show someone something that basically looks like a text editor, I just want something that looks a little cooler.
P.S (This question may seem a little unnecessary, it is because it is my first question, I'd like to warm up to this community before I start asking some real questions about code.)
Visual Studio is an editor/compiler etc that you can use to do C++ development, and it is highly themeable. You might be interested in http://www.phpvs.net/vs-themes/ and http://techietweaks.blogspot.com/2008/11/visual-studio-themes-gallery.html .
A text editor with a black background still looks like a text editor.
If you want a console-esque editor, look into vim and emacs - though they take some getting used to, once you're proficient with either they are pretty damn awesome.
I think you're confusing Compiler with IDE, the compiler is the program that converts your code into machine code/byte-code/etc.
The IDE is the editor itself, which usually works alongside the compiler.
For just text-editing you can use Notepad++. Then you can use the Style Configurator to change to default skins or make your own.
For a complete IDE, I recommend Code::Blocks especially if you're just starting out. You can change themes on Preferences.
I would like to enable tabbing for my application. And so far it seems I could use a tab control. The problem with it is, though, that it creates a border around the client area. What I want, is more like a FireFox tab control, that only takes up a row in the application and doesn't create any frames around client area.
Does anyone know if it is possible with the default control?
I'm using MFC, but that shouldn't change things much I hope.
I'm pretty sure the tab control consists of two parts - the tab headers and the tab page. So you should be able to use the tab header only. It will take more work, but I think you can get what you want.
Look at CTabCtrl and CHeaderCtrl - will those do it? I've never customized them, but it seems possible.
There is also a CPropertySheet that's a good control. But so far it seems disabling and changing some things is simply impossible. No solution for the problem except full ownerdraw path.
