Coloring the OEPDS

Posted by OctavioOlguin on 24-Jan-2015 15:00

Greetings!

Little background.

I installed coloring plugins on top of 11.4 and worked fine for editor main page, but no to other views.. uninstalled plugin, to no avail.

Uninstalled 11.4 and then installed 11.5 in hope to get it fixed, but no.  I guess coloring is part of project properties? or a least, a file with color info is on the project dir....

I really would like to be able to change color on outline, as it's selector color is a very pale gray, and the scratch pad is white on white. I have to type and select row to see contents...

If it not possible, then how can I return to default coloring?

Thanks in advance.

How about Windows=>Preferences=>Progress OpenEdge=>Editor=>Colors=>Restore Defaults.

Thanks for the tip, but no.. It got worse, now text is back over dark background.   a few twist on Defaul, Keywords and Literal, and visible once again, but the background is still some kind of black....

Most Eclipse color preferences are set in Wondows/Preferences/General/Appearance/Colors and Fonts. There's also a Restore Defaults choice there.

Thanks all for the tips...

Indeed all the points given, restore most of parameters of display, but not the background of the text editing area.

I guees have to go to some resource files and edit XML.

Does anybody knows where's this file? if it is the solution? Would like to develop a dark color scheme for all the widgets in eclipse, derived from progress related: the outline, DB structure, scratchpad, wservers, etc and all the views: Project explorer, help view,  etc....

Background will be in General->Editors->Text Editors, some options at 'Structured Text Editors' level.
