There are many little updates you have to do for nice "Dark-Theme".įor a start only, Here is how you get the LPEX edit to be DARK:ġ.) >Window>Preferences>LPEX Editor>Appearance Subject: Dark theme (was: RSE perspective won't reset) I notice on eclipse neon, they have change their Find/change dialog complete different! So on a dark theme it is the same as the LPEX find and replace. Then I will post my start this weekend, and go from there. Nothing else, I could cut & paste my instructions in text format for a "start". I know wiki is updatable, but I haven't ever done that before. Your updates make it better! -> Thanks Buck! :) You are right, it will be good to document it for others, and also for myself. This weekend, I will create a Text file for my Dark theme to share.
#Eclipse neon dark theme trial
Which takes time and a lot of trial and error. They keep the BRIGHT-WHITE for the other screens. Most of my co-workers who use a dark-theme, only use it for LPEX only. The bad thing is finding all the settings in eclipse. Great thing about eclipse is it highly customizable. "Debug Current Instruction Pointer", I happen to use Dashed Box color Red.

Windows>preferences>General>Editors>text Editors I also had to change my color for the break point line here: I change the "Show Block Nesting" to a light color, since my back-ground is now black. Windows>preference>Remote Systems>Remote system LPEX Editor>IBM I (Short cut key: Ctrl+shift+O=Show indentation) Here is a snapshot on dark theme in eclipse, as a example: Eclipse Neon greatly approve the dark theme, which I am very glad to get a "decent" dark theme with some customization. The little triangle on the remote explorer were too dark. I first tried the dark theme on the Old RDI using Luna, and the dark theme was terrible. Being experienced, it only took me about 5-minutes. So, for me, a user of RDI for over 12-years, it was not hard for me. The Back-ground color were changed when I updated the palette.

Then on the ILERPGSql parser, I only had to adjust the Primary color. I only had to adjust the black background on the Palette. I am willing to be it is NOT using the settings inside of eclipse.
#Eclipse neon dark theme how to
Yes, the find dialog is one I have not found out how to adjust that yet. Subject: Re: Dark theme (was: RSE perspective won't reset) To: Rational Developer for IBM i / Websphere Development Studio Client for System i & iSeries I have discovered that EVERYONE seems to have his or her own color preferences. They could import them into their own RDI 9.6.0.1 client! Cool! You could put that export on a network drive to share with your fellow IBM i Developers. I recommend that you export it for safekeeping. :)Īfter you have customized to you own preference. I hope this helps other IBM i Developers, whom like a dark theme.

Set LPEX to Palette DARK, I picked "Charcoal Black", as I call it. RDi 9.6.01 Basic "Charcoal Black" Theme instructionsġ.) Set the General Eclipse to a "DARK" theme Maybe not 100%, but at least it is a "start". So, as I promised, below are my "longhand" instructions. Here is what I call "Charcoal Black" color, to match the rest of the Eclipse Neon Dark theme: I also turn on "Accessibility" in RDI/Eclipse due to my poor eyesight. I often use hairline/vertical bar in LPEX, to help me find my cursor. Now, I must admit my eyesight is not the best, and I wear tri-focal glasses.
