Those who are not getting the "default file" while choosing the destination folder, follow the first few step where he goes to the code block settings to find the syntax, click on select theme and default. it will start showing while choosing the destination folder
Or they disliked, becuase they thought it"s gonna transform the whole program into dark mode, not just the code area (ex.: me) Sadge :'( I guess I should learn how to use CLion...
One who still can't find config file.. Control panel>appearance & personalization>click on show hidden files and folder . Back to c:/user/appdata/roaming/codeblocks.Paste it here. Good to go!!
not to be fancy or so but if u just want the coding screen to be dark, just go to settings > syntax highlighting and change foreground and background color (white/black), takes less than 15 seconds.
Why it applies only on left part of screen? Just section with number of line is now dark, but my actual code is still normal light... does someone know what did i do wrong?
@@srohitkumar1599 on bottom right corner, i switched to english if it is what i should do.... I reinstalled codeblocks, tried this method again... but still the same thing pls someone help lol
(you probably found the answer by now cause its been 3 years but i'll leave the comment just for the sake of others struggling) save the file first, as C++, and it will change to the dark theme
some of you like me may not find Roaming file so, copy the file in description and go straight to cb_share_config file. when you open the window at 2:10 past the file there and then choose it. and continue on with the tutorial. ps: codeblocks is still kinda retarded
I'm starting with C++ and Code::blocks and I can't understand why the heck this IDE looks so ugly?? I mean, isn't it one of the most used IDE for C++ ? it 's like they haven't changed the design since 1990... I really don't get it
It needs a measure UI upgrade. An alternative is using a plain text editor like vim or vscode or visual studio. There is also clion but it cost money. Recently I have been using vscode more. I am forced to use visual studio for work.
I'm using version 20.3 and theb promlem is I can't find the Roaming folder , Though I've shown the hidden folder and i found it but the codeblock folder isn't there and when i search for default.config it there's no file like that
Im forced by my school to use codeblocks, this will be a lifesaver. EDIT : kinda dissapointed its a yet another editor theme, but it seems its a linux thing to change it totaly to dark mode
It can't be completely themed in windows. I have tried. Its much flexible on Linux. I have fully themed it on Ubuntu and mint. I had my job install vs-code for me because I program in a variety of languages and I can just set it up with the plugins I need.
November 24th, where the hell is the "CodeBlocks" folder, i entered the roaming folder and found only a folder called "Microsoft". No "CodeBlocks" folder, nothing at all.
This guide wasnt working for me. Turns out my default.conf was located in C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\AppData\codeblocks and in Roaming. Hope this helps someone.
Im writing this because i see you still leave hearts to comments. I have a issue at the last step where i actually gonna start using the themes. I can see and choose them all but when i press "ok" nothing changes. My eyes need your help! Please answer...
@@geraldatanga idk how it happened but it asked me to open main something and now it works lol. Thank you a lot dude youre a legend. I gave a like to your last 2 vids.
Thanks for the support. Lol I haven't posted in like 8 months. Still trying to reply when I can. Glad to see that some of these videos are still relevant.
It seems pretty easy to do so I don't know why. In linux I can do a full theme using a few tricks but codeblocks in linux is not usable. it crashes like hell.
You should just open the file location of codeblocks and after that go to roaming folder on the top of the file explorer If cant find it ... maximize your task to find it there ... Good Luck!
It can be but it will need a whole theming system. Cb uses wxWidgets which currently doesn't have a theming system. I was talking to my friends to see if we can implement one . The issue is we are all busy with work. I work for two companies. Time is really the problem.
i followed your steps exactly i transfered, saved, i can see the new options in the editor and syntax highlighting but when i actually open a new file to write code it is not different, its still white
@@geraldatanga Exactly same is happening with me too. I can see all themes in editor setting , selected one and saved but still nothing changes. Uninstalled and reinstalled but same. Btw i am using it for C/C++.
21 November 2020 - It works fine on main portion but it doesn't affect Management, Logs & Others or Toolbars. Although it doesn't Affect whole app, Thank you so much. My eyes can rest now.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to fully theme it on windows like I do on Linux. It breaks the code blocks for some reason. Been too busy with my current job and haven't had time to look into a fix. Hopefully it be something I can do in the future.

How do I continue after clicking on show hidden files and folders

Great tutorial! Straight to the point, no bullshit.
Straight
not to be fancy or so but if u just want the coding screen to be dark, just go to settings > syntax highlighting and change foreground and background color (white/black), takes less than 15 seconds.
for those who didnt work so well, try to configure the files while codeblocks is close

Nice job sir!
I opted for the modnokai coffee theme that reminds me of that nice and restful QT dark theme.. :D
it didn't work for me... even though i followed all the steps
is there no way to make the interface around darker as well?
no
there's gotta be
no, but you can use the simple view which makes the interface a lot smaller. View -> Perspectives -> Code::Blocks minimal

thanks man, you are real man and life savier
Thank You so much for this. I was looking for this kinda tutorial for last 2 months.
I wonder why he doesn't apply it? Perhaps so we don't notice that it only changes the theme for the editor.
It can't be done in windows. Because cb uses wxWidgets. I have it fully themed on linux.
doesnt work for me
it worked for me...thanks man!
You're welcome 😀
why doesn't the codeblock deploy such features in new version????? anyways Thanks a lot.
It seems pretty easy to do so I don't know why. In linux I can do a full theme using a few tricks but codeblocks in linux is not usable. it crashes like hell.
@@geraldatanga Run it as administrator and it won't crash. Atleast for me
@@zoregamolenkamp2154 It shouldn't hopefully
i had set the theme successful but the new theme is only in typing area, management and toolbar are still light. how to make them dark?
unfortunately there is not full theme for windows. Got it done on linux, but only because I have a lot of freedom on that OS.
@@geraldatanga a bit sad cuz we cant set full theme for windows... Anyways, thanks a lot for help me setting the dark theme!
I can’t find the appdata and roaming here on my laptop.😭 My eyes want the dark color na
You should just open the file location of codeblocks and after that go to roaming folder on the top of the file explorer
If cant find it ... maximize your task to find it there ... Good Luck!
please tell us how to undo it. i changed it to default but my line column is still black
me too! same problem!

Thx for that, and especially thanks to you. Now my eyes won´t bleed after a minute.

Great video man. Just wonder can code_blocks be 100% dark?
It can be but it will need a whole theming system. Cb uses wxWidgets which currently doesn't have a theming system. I was talking to my friends to see if we can implement one . The issue is we are all busy with work. I work for two companies. Time is really the problem.
