Wasted much of a day building a dark theme/skin for the Arduino IDE.
- - -
####INSTALLATION
- PREFERENCES.TXT
Replace yourpreferences.txt
with mine - note the only main change is settingeditor.antialias
to true, which makes your fonts look WAY better! - THEME FOLDER
Look in~/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/lib
and replace thetheme
folder inside (making a copy of the original in case you hate my changes!) This folder contains a 'themes.txt' file with the bulk of the changes (mostly colors)
Buttons and tabs are stored as image files, which have been modified to fit the color scheme - SCREENSHOT
Self-explanatory :)
####PSD 'BUTTONS' FILE
The theme
folder also includes a Photoshop (.psd) file for the buttons which includes a saved selection for easier changing of the background. This can be accessed through the 'Channels' panel.
