<title>Change the color scheme</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<app>gedit</app> includes several different color schemes, allowing you to
|
|
change the appearance of the main text area.

|
<steps>
|
|
<title>To change the color scheme:</title>
|
|
<item>
|
|
<p>Press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and select
|
|
<guiseq><gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui><gui>Font &
|
|
Colors</gui></guiseq>.</p>
|
|
</item>
|
|
<item>
|
|
<p>Choose your desired color scheme.</p>
|
|
</item>
|
|
</steps>
|
|
|
|
<p>The new color scheme will be applied immediately.</p>

<title>For light and dark theme variants</title>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are actually two color scheme settings: one color scheme to choose
|
|
when a light theme is applied to the whole application, and one color
|
|
scheme to choose when a dark theme is applied. The <gui>Preferences</gui>
|
|
dialog allows you to configure both.
|
|
</p>

|
<title>About unsupported color schemes</title>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Some color schemes may be unsupported for the theme variant used (light or
|
|
dark). When that is the case, the color scheme cannot be selected and is
|
|
marked explicitly as unsupported.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This happens when a color scheme inherits some colors from the theme, and
|
|
it is assumed that the theme is either light or dark. If it were possible
|
|
to apply such a color scheme when the wrong theme is used, it would appear
|
|
that the color scheme has bugs and some of the text would be unreadable.
|

<title>Use a custom color scheme</title>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can also use color schemes that have been created by others, or create
|
|
and use your own color schemes. See the
|

<link href="https://gedit-technology.github.io/developer-docs/extra/libgedit-gtksourceview/style-schemes.html">libgedit-gtksourceview documentation</link>.
