Eric IDE dark theme

3.5k views Asked by At

I started using Eric IDE but cannot find a way to set a dark theme. I was using just Geany text editor before and I had a dark theme, now I'm used to it. I'd like the IDE debugging features but the white background really hurts my eyes.

(Figure I might gain some useful points ... ergo (adjusted answer from theme-for-python-eric-ide question)

To change the background for a, by the eric-ide, known language. You have to go to [ Settings > Preferences > Highlighters > Styles ], and than select the languages you like to make the changes for.

[ Settings > preferences > Editor > Style ] ... is only for unrecognised languages.
[ Settings > Preferences > Highlighters > Styles ] ... is for each separate recognized language.
