A Darker Arduino

Updated!!!! Discovered how to make the Serial Plotter dark! Please see theme.txt to change any colors or background. And remember to restart Arduino after making any changes!

This is a darker theme than OneDarkArduino with a pure black background for both the console output and the editor.
There seems to be a bug with binary number formatting, e.g. 0b00011010 where the number and background change color but I haven't figured out how to fix it.

I like darker themes for my coding work and figure there may be someone else in the Void who likes darker themes and doesn't want to go through the effort to play with all the RGB values so I decided to make my changes public.

For this theme, all I did was play with the colors (in theme.txt) so that they met my personal preferences. All credit for figuring this stuff out goes to Jeff Thompson and Konrad91.

There is also now an Arduino plugin for Visual Studio Code that seems interesting to me but I have not yet tried to use it for any projects.

For the moment, this theme is what works for me when I need to code with the Arduino IDE.

One more note! Another reason I made this repo public is that when the Arduino application is updated on Mac OS X the theme will be replaced since the theme folder is part of the application contents.
So it makes it easy to find and replace the theme after Arduino application updates.

The below is from the OneDarkArduino repo and still applies to this one including the license.

Modern dark theme for the Arduino IDE, inspired by One Dark Pro for VSCode by binaryify: https://binaryify.github.io/OneDark-Pro/#/. Based on work done by Jeff Thompson: https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/rahulkhanna/dark-theme-for-arduino-ide-17c001?ref=search&ref_id=theme&offset=0

INSTALLATION

  • Mac users should look in ~/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Java/lib and replace the theme folder inside (making a copy of the original in case want to revert back).
  • Windows is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\lib.
  • Linux will be in /usr/share/arduino/lib/

CREATING YOUR OWN MODS

The newest version of the Arduino IDE makes creating custom themes trickier: you now need to edit the theme.txt file, an XML file inside the syntax folder, and the button files. Unfortunately, not all items in the theme.txt file actually work, so if you can't get an item to change, try another one of the files.
