Question:
I want to change my background IDE in eric but when I do this in preferences>editor>style nothing change in background color, just font styles changed.
Is there any solution for this? cause white color make a huge damage in editor when working lots of hours
Answers:
Short version:
[ Settings > preferences > Editor > Style ] … is only for unrecognised languages.
[ Settings > Preferences > Editor > Highlighters > Styles ] … is for each separate recognized language.
Longer version:
Changing the background using [ Settings > Preferences > Editor > Style ] works fine. … Well kinda.
- This particular preference section is only for setting the style on files that are seen by the eric-ide as "No language" files.
- This has no effect on the empty editing-area display (ie: when there are no files open).
- The change ‘might’ not show up immediately. In my case I had to re-click on the "No language" option ([ RMC/file-content-menu > languages > No language ]) to get the background colour change to show up as intended.
To change the background for a, by the eric-ide, known language. You have to go to [ Settings > Preferences > Editor > Highlighters > Styles ], and than select the languages you like to make the changes for.

You can change the complete look of the IDE, but it’s split between four different settings menus:
-
In Settings > Preferences > Editor > Highlighters > Styles click "Import styles" near the bottom, and choose one of the predefined themes.
-
Now you can’t see your text cursor, because it’s still black. Go to Settings > Preferences > Editor > Styles, scroll down to "Caret", and change the "Foreground" color to white. In the same menu, you can also change the color of the margins.
-
The surrounding panels are still white. Go to Settings > Preferences > Interface > Interface and in "Style Sheet" choose one of the predefined styles.
-
Now you can’t see the icons in the top bar, because they are black on a dark background. Go to Settings > Icons and change "Default icons" to "Breeze (dark)"
