Quanta Plus has a feature to create our own editor themes. However, this requires us to create every little element one at a time.
Isn't there a theme with a dark background (like in GEDit) for Quanta?
If I were to do it one at a time, this can be very tiring. At least a shortcut to it would be nice.
Thanks!
I absolutely agree with you. I can't stand black on white - too much eyestrain.
Try this:
http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/zenburn+-+eye-gentle+Kate+color+scheme?content=66209
It works for Quanta, as well as a bunch of other KDE editors like Kate and Kdevelop. Just run the install script and it sets up a new KDE schema called zenburn. Much easier on the eyes.

Some background: I am using VSCode for coding in flutter. But when I open many workspaces, it ate all my free RAM quickly (Macbookpro 8GB). (IntelliJ is even worse.) Sometimes, I just need to check other workspaces' Code etc.. So The best option is to use vim for this purpose.
I have installed dart-vim-plugin, but the syntax highlighting is not really correct for flutter, for example, BuildContext, Scaffold, AppBar etc.. all the class types are pure white color. To minimize the RAM usage, I just don't want any analysis server, auto completion etc.. I just want the editor has a correct syntax highlighting so that I can easily check the code. Is that doable?
Thank you very much for your help.
PS: I just want to use an editor which only does syntax highlight. I really don't have much free RAM. Normally, there are only 600MB left and I don't want to use them all.
Even if I am new to vim syntax highlight, since nobody provides an answer, I have to study how to do this by myself. I have created my own dart.vim and put it at ~/.vim/after/syntax/dart.vim. Note this is just an add-on for dart-vim-plugin, you still need to install it. Hopefully, this will help somebody some day.
I have tried changing the background color of toolbar in notepad++. I am not been successful so far. Frankly speaking I am not so liking the toolbar color and would like to have a dark background to the toolbar. Is there anyway I can do the same? Thanks in advance
Take a look at this question on Superuser. I haven't tested it, but I think it can help.
below there's the hack (as explained in the link):
The themes, as you guessed, can't do this (they only handle what's in
the text editing window). To change the colors you'll have to make
some very simple changes (since it's only changing color values) to
the source code (download from the site or GitHub).
Extract the file Find the elements whose color you'd like to change,
and change them. All colors I've seen are denoted RGB(xx,xx,xx)
Rebuild (see /readmeFirst.txt once you've extracted) I've just glanced
at these files, but I'm definitely going to work at this a little
tomorrow and I don't mind giving you my results once I've solved it.
Anyway, what I've seen at a glance is that you'll want to look in
/PowerEditor/src/ScitillaComponent/DocTabView (I think)
/PowerEditor/src/WinControls/TabBar
/PowerEditor/src/WinControls/ToolBar That's all I noticed that might
be of interest so far, but again, I'll look at it more tomorrow and
get back to you.
Edit: the official makefile will give some errors, because
/PowerEditor/src/Parameters.h references files incorrectly. Here are
the two I fixed so far:
#include "TinyXml/tinyXmlA/tinyxmlA.h" (line 33)
#include "TinyXml/tinyxml.h" (line 37)
Change those lines in Parameters.h to what I've written to deal with
them. Don't worry about the warnings ("extra tokens after #endif") -
they're just comments.
Edit 2: I'm using VS2012, in which the build process results in
numerous errors. I won't post them here unless someone eventually asks
about them, in which case I'm happy to do so. I should have a working
build up soon!
Edit 3: It seems Notepad++'s provided VS project file was created with
an earlier version of Visual Studio, and in updating the files, Visual
Studio 2012 creates many problems, so if you go that route, use
VS2010.
Edit 4: I didn't make it obvious in Edit 3, but I gave up after
realizing just how difficult it was going to be to get around the VS
errors. I imagine the code has changed significantly since I wrote
this answer as well; unfortunately I didn't note the version, but I'm
sure it was the latest available at time of writing this answer,
which, according to "All versions", was probably either 6.4.1 or
6.4.2. However, I hope this is a useful starting point for anyone else who reads (this answer has received consistent attention since
writing).
As far as I see into details of creation of the user interface elements (buttons, toolbars etc.), the answer is that toolbar color cannot be changed until developer explicitly built such a feature into the application. And N++ has no such a feature if you check its settings.
You can achieve changing of toolbar color by standard way: override toolbar painting routine after you grabbed N++ sources. Then compile custom Notepad++.exe which reflects your change.
If you feel toolbar coloring would be useful not only for you, but for number of users, consider registering a feature request for Notepad++ as many people (including me :)) already did for various features of N++.
Go to Settings> Preferences
Then select Enable dark mode.
Then you have the option to pick colors for the dark mode and can even set custom colors
Are there any emacs or VIm clones (on any platform or browser) that work with all the standard plugins/"modes" for emacs or vim and also provide a significant amount of "visual" code navigation, traversing, editing, etc?
"Visual" means using buttons or trees or menus that you click with a mouse, or some presentation of code/data beyond what can be done in console emulation.
Additionally, "visual" editors should have some amount of integration between the visual features and the standard api of the underlying console-based editor; for example, (this might be terrible in practice) a way for "org mode" to expose some of its commands as buttons or drop downs.
xemacs or gvim should probably suit your needs. I know xemacs, at least, is fairly like what you describe with buttons and menus, though I don't think it really presents code any differently from the console version of emacs.

Is it possible to set Gimp'sPage Setup dialog to units other than inches? I have an image set to millimeter units, I have everything I can see set to millimeters, but when I select File->Page Setup to create a custom page size, the only option I have is inches.
I'm running on Ubuntu with Gimp 2.6.11.
No, it is not possible right now, and that is a bug on the application.
When you find issues like that, you can help further the tool development by filling up a bug report at http://bugs.gnome.org
I know it may seems just "huh?" how can this be unnoticed - the fact is that many open soruce tools, GIMP included are written on developer's spare times and I can tell you most actie GIMP developers don't use it for printing at all - therefore, the printing side of the tool is getting little attention.
I wish to skin my aplication and have noticed that there appears to be no obvious way to do this.
I am used to skinning files for java and wondered if there was any way of changing the appearance of the "standard" delphi7 application.
Edit:(taggs)
Have you looked at SpTBXLib?
http://www.silverpointdevelopment.com/sptbxlib/index.htm
I use the Developer Express Skins library. This works well for standard components, and their own. You can create custom skins, or use their standard ones which include nicely designed haloween and winter ones. They also have a ribbon control to make your app Office 2007 look.
I've seen positive comments about AppFace, but I have not tried it.
Looks like there are some relevant links in this forum thread
Appface looks promising with the extreem looks and the need for just 2 lines of code. but thats a lot of money to make four buttons and a editbox look nice.
linkrank does the same thing but does not look as good and costs even more this time about 180.
Again both seem to boast that you only need 2 lines of source code and theme file.
the link to given forum did not seem to yeild any results apart from these two.
Would be br8 to find a free version even if i have to put in more work myself.
Edit: "suipack" is yet another tool for the same job
Re-Edit: VCL seems to be the basis of what is needed here some copenents listed on
http://www.vclcomponents.com/catalog/Delphi_Skin
Re-Edit-2: found a freeware version here
Re-Edit-3: added coponent but not only is there no help file with this it seems to be incomplete as throws a cannot find "skins.pas" exception
http://www.vclcomponents.com/Delphi/Form_Enhancement/VclSkin-info.html
gone evaluate it and post results back up.
After spending hours installing it or not,, as the case was,, installed the unicodecontroler and the toolbar2000 but the toolbar200 seemed to have a issue with the library path and after i fixed it it would not alow me to reinstall, i had to do this as SpTBXLibDsgn_*.dpk would not install due to not finding reference of tb2kdsgn_d7.dpk..
this results in me going ARRRRRGGGHHHHHH and bashing my head on the wall, the only method for creating skins for free in delphi7 comes as 7 manual installs(as a noob this was hard)
and thenn when i make a boo boo it wont let be uninstall,,, ouch
looks like there will be no styles for me....
Edit: if anyone wants to go for styles i seriously suggest the multiinstaller that i didnt see untill i had currupted my tbk2000 package :(
Another skinning component set for Delphi is AlmediaDev
AFAIK, there are two Delphi components available to skin your application without requiring any code, but both are not free
VCLSkin
SuiSkin
