I was wondering if someone could post a Delphi IDE editor color scheme, rather than the ones that come with Delphi. I am getting tired of this white/black color and i am searching for good examples on the internet, but i have found nothing so far. Does anyone can post a .reg (delphi stores the ide color in Registry) and a screenshot of delphi IDE so a can copy it?

  • The new version is very cool. Just a question. Can I Theme the all IDE ? and not only the editor ? Thanks – Jlouro Jan 26 '15 at 15:44
  • @Jlouro, Yes you can apply a theme to the IDE, try the [Delphi IDE Colorizer plugin](https://code.google.com/p/delphi-ide-theme-editor/) – RRUZ Jan 26 '15 at 15:46
  • I actually downloaded and built this from source and it works, once I copy the necessary folders to correct locations. But what about changing the colors of the IDE itself? – nurettin Sep 14 '17 at 12:47

Check this entry blog Editor Theme for Delphi IDE. here you can find a collection of reg. files to apply this theme (Dark Theme) to the Delphi IDE. also you can modify the reg file to create your own theme.

  • Unfortunately, this still leaves the rest of Delphi with black text on a white background. Delphi does seem to be very keen to honour the system colour settings. – David Heffernan Mar 09 '11 at 16:29
  • The black theme is cool, but it could have more theme options (there are only 2 themes). Is there any other site I can find custom themes? – Rafael Colucci Mar 09 '11 at 16:37
  • @Rafael, i don't know about the existence of another site, but you can modify the reg files posted in the site to create a new theme for your Delphi IDE. – RRUZ Mar 09 '11 at 16:49
  • wow, another guy from i think Germany still developing this to xe8. Thanks [link](https://github.com/RWarnecke/Delphi-Editor-Theme/tree/master/dark) – thanh Aug 25 '15 at 07:01

White/black? You mean you don't use TP colors? (tools->editor options->Classic) Modernist heresy!Classic editor look

  • Lol. I guess i missed this one! – Rafael Colucci Mar 09 '11 at 16:38
  • Ah, well it funny what you can do with the high res screens of nowadays: http://www.stack.nl/~marcov/idescreenshot.png (FPC's TP like IDE). I use this for FPC work, and even at work for a lot of little programming. – Marco van de Voort Mar 09 '11 at 20:20
  • @Marco van de Voort: we were using high screen res back with TP7 or so in 1990. There was a hack to get the DOS IDE running in something like 128x50 text mode and it made the whole thing so much more usable. –  Mar 10 '11 at 04:09
  • I know, I did also. (Trident card did 132x60 even iirc). This is only taken at 1280x1024. Must have a 2048x1536 screenshot somewhere. – Marco van de Voort Mar 10 '11 at 08:20

I just love my color scheme and have shared this colors years ago in a Delphi newsgroup. It is important turn on the ClearType font smoothing and use a font like BitStream Vera Sans Mono, it is a perfect font for a dark background.

my Delphi 7 ide

It is not a reg scheme, but as no one talked about it yet... I use CnPack CnWizards.That add some colors to your code, including making 'begin ... end's much more clear by a line that bound them both.

Till the Black/white(or blue) looks better. :) CnPackExample

I'm a new user of it, but I think that you will probably love that in combination with RRUZ application. Regards,
