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.

  • Thanks for your question. I upvoted it, because its a question about a programming tool and its configuration for efficient coding. For me that is a relevant coding aspect. – CatMan May 19 '20 at 05:07

(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.

    They have changed the website, so the link to Eric issues above does not work any more. The updated link is now https://www.mail-archive.com/eric@riverbankcomputing.com/msg03970.html. This page, btw, is the second most useful resource for Eric questions after the "Technical Document" on the Eric website. – CatMan May 19 '20 at 05:11
