SciTE4AutoHotkey Themes

[LAPIII]

I can't find it either:

C:\Users\LPIII\Documents\AutoHotkey\SciTE



C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\SciTE

[joedf]

I see them...

Code: Select all

C:\Users\LPIII\Documents\AutoHotkey\SciTE\SciTEUser.properties
C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\SciTE\SciTEGlobal.properties

I just edited User properties in SciTE4AutoHotkey. The files and folders they weren't read only and I don't know why I couldn't edit them. Anyway, what does this do:

Code: Select all

line.margin.visible=1

It didn't do anything. In your themes, Darchon and Monokai, how did you get the line number column color different? I think I want to make a theme, how do I get started?

[joedf]

Can the line number panel be turned black?

Oh my bad! I read your original question as "Can the line number panel be turned back on?"
WHOOPS!

It show/hides the line numbers, but since they are already enabled by default... it appears as nothing happens... Anyway! let us focus on the colors!
My theme file for Monokai is fully commented. It has the following:

Code: Select all

# Line Number Margin
style.*.33=$(font.normal),fore:#EEEEEC,back:#34352D
line.margin.width=4

You can change the back:#****** to back:#000000 and it should turn to black.

Hi and sorry for unburying this...
Since the last update of ScitTE, something is broken with the Darchon style and I can't seem to understand how to change this. After the update, the highlighted line's background is white (other then dark grey. before).

Is there a single parameter that can change this?

[joedf]

I am not sure if its the caret.line.back.alpha is broken... @fincs or different now ?
@zabbn but for now you can change this in theme file to this caret.line.back=#363D44

[fincs]

It does not look like caret.line.back.alpha is a property that exists, according to SciTEDoc. On the other hand, caret.line.back accepts an alpha component (i.e. after rgb). The default value for it in S4AHK is caret.line.back=#00FF0020. This seems to work well for both Light and Dark themes. In general, setting properties outside those used in the default styles that come with S4AHK is considered "undefined behaviour" and might be broken in future releases of S4AHK.

[joedf]

Great, thanks for clearing that up fincs!

@zabbn In that case,

You can simply replace this:

Code: Select all

caret.line.back=#FFFFFF
caret.line.back.alpha=20

with

Code: Select all

caret.line.back=#FFFFFF14

I've submitted a pull request for this: https://github.com/ahkon/Darchon/pull/1

[zabbn]

Wow that's great thank you both fincs and joedf!
It worked flawlessly, I used an alpha of 30 in the end.

Is there a way to change the tab color? I ask because I can't visually see the difference between the selected tab and the unselected tab, so I keep losing my place.

[phazei]

Maybe I missed it, but these themes all only change the editor portion, right?

Is there any way to change the toolbar and tab background/text colors?

Really just the "active" tab color. I'm having an accessibility issue where I can't tell which tab is active because the color is so similar so I keep losing my place. Thanks

[joedf]

I'm not sure you can change the ui colours unless you change the windows themes...

[raymm3852]

I am looking to looking to change the visual style of the tabs (such as color, font, or size) within SciTE4AutoHotkey.

The current display of tabs shows text that is too small.

I'd like to make it larger and bold when the tab is active.

Also, I'd like to make the currently activated tab red.

My eyes are dim, I cannot see.
I have not brought my specs with me.
