This is not a technical question but a question about ease of usage of an IDE.
I have recently started Monodevelop(Ver 5.9.4) in Linux(Ubuntu).
The issue I face is that the coding window is white and its stress-full for my eyes as I am used to code in darker backgrounds. How can I change it?
Please help. I have looked other places but I am not convinced.
Go to Edit > Preferences > Syntax Highlighting
This wouldn't change everything in the GUI, but it will change the part where you are staring at the code to black background.

I have a version 9.1 installed in my local machine with macos 11.1
Need help in making the font color to black.
Just found out the answer. Dont put your mac's appearance to dark mode.
When i change it back to light mode, all texts in pdi became black.
Just close pentaho and open again after changing to light mode.
In version 9.3, there is a checkbox Use look of OS (3rd row from bottom, 2nd checkbox from bottom - for those, who are lazy to switch to dark mode) in Preferences - Look & Feel. After checking it, you can still use Dark mode in OS with black texts in PDI.
Actually there is no mode to solve this but i have one quick solution for you.
Install the app "Night Owl" this app let's you to switch between dark and light mode from the tray.
Kind regards,
Just to clarify #Michal's answer, starting from 9.3 you can use dark mode a long with pdi basically.
Since I have to switched to light mode to indicate the right position, there is a step by step for blind touching like me.
Preferences -> Second tab (Look & Feel) -> Use look of OS (3rd row from bottom)
I recently changed my Intellij Idea theme to use a custom theme, then have been tweaking it to fit my personal preferences.
I've fixed most of the deficiencies in usability/readablity but am still running into issues in the popup window that comes up when you click the update button:
What comes up is completely unreadable:
So the question is: Where is the setting for overriding the colors in this window? This is pretty much the last problem I have with my custom theme, and I've combed through the settings trying to determine how to change this to no avail.
Note: If this is the wrong stack exchange site to ask this question, let me know the correct one and I'll move it.
It is known issue: IDEA-227157 that has been fixed for 2020.2.X versions (release is planned in the end of July of 2020).
I recently installed SSMS 2016 and when I opened some code I have saved it looked a little strange. Then I noticed that a lot of keywords were not the right color. I figured out that all System Functions were not being colored correctly in the text editor. I did some digging but nothing I tried worked. I eventually went to try and manually set the color of the system functions by going Tools-->Options-->Environment-->Fonts and Colors. I could not find "SQL- System Functions" anywhere. Actually all of the list options that start with "SQL" were not available. I took a screenshot of the menu for reference.
Does anyone know how to fix this? the functions still work but its driving me nuts.Missing Font and Color option
I'm colorblind and, while many themes for IntelliJ editors are just fine, I was wondering if there was a theme developed with the comfort of someone who is colorblind in mind.
The best solution would be to make your own color theme (https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/help/configuring-colors-and-fonts.html) or pick one you like from the internet and edit it to best suit you.
And to answer best your question, there isn't, in my knowledge, a color theme for red-green colorblind BUT there are "soft" color themes, which simply use very little color.
EDIT: Forgot to say that there is also an option (in BETA) to adjust the IDE depending on your color deficiency (http://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2015/09/intellij-idea-15-eap-help-us-test-the-adjustments-for-color-deficiency/), this may help.
There is also an option in settings to turn on color-blind mode in settings
Settings → Appearance & Behavior → Appearance → Adjust colors for red-green vision deficiency
You can find more details about changes it makes in this document.
UPDATE: As of 2018.3, IDEA has its own high contrast theme. It may be potentially useful in this case. You can access in in
Settings → Appearance & Behavior
The example of the theme is here:
I've had the same problem, no theme seemed to fit my color-blind eye. So I spend some hours creating my own theme. It might not fit you, and it might be ugly, but it works for me :-)
https://github.com/oizo/intellij-colorblind-scheme
Settings → Appearance & Behavior → Appearance → Theme → Windows 10 Light
... solved the basic problem for me of not being able to read the word 'end' (too faded out) for example in:
print('zoo', end='')
What specifically is that called? And/or what setting would control that word individually? I want to change just that alone as I've grown to like IntelliJ's other choices.
Allow me to take this opportunity to mention to you normies haha love ya that we red-green-not-so-fully-differentiated see color alright (it isn't "blindness"), if the Enchroma glasses give me the right idea I find it kind of overwhelming that your world is so awash in colors, like turning the saturation way up on a TV. For me it's just that pastels are extra dim-ish perhaps, in a manner of speaking, such an unexpected effect from red and green cones picking up some of each other's frequencies. Overlap.
I installed a plugin through Package Control, that highlight the extra whitespaces with red background color. I loved it! However, I reinstalled the sublime3 and its gone. The only trace I still remember that its somehow deal with I installed the DocBlockr, but now I went to their git page, I do not see any related function.
I am really frustrated and wonder how can I find this plugin or somewhat change sublime3 setting to achieve it? Because right now I am using
"draw_white_space": "all"
which is really horrible on the eye with all the lines and dots in between.
Thanks
Maybe this one ? TrailingSpaces
