Theming

There are 3 built-in themes for edb:

• System - provides the default look for edb using the window color scheme of your system settings.
• Dark - a built-in theme that forces all aspects of edb to be in dark mode regardless of your system settings.
• Light - a built-in theme that forces all aspects of edb to be in light mode regardless of your system settings.

In addition, any .ini files in the themes subdirectory of the config directory (~/.config/codef00.com/themes/) will be available for selection.

Theme files may have any valid filename and are ordinary .ini files, and should have two sections: [Meta] and [Theme]. The "Meta" section allows the author to provide a name for the theme which will be displayed in the Options dialog.

[Meta]
name=My Dark Theme

Next, using the [Theme] section, you can customize nearly any aspect of edb with the following key/value syntax

<object>.<property>=<value>

Valid objects are:

address
alternating_byte
arithmetic
badge
brackets
comma
comparison
constant
data
data_xfer
filling
flow_ctrl
function
logic
non_printing_character
operator
prefix
ptr
register
shift
stack
system
taken_jump

Valid properties for non-"palette" objects are:

foreground
background
weight
italic
underline

Additionally, you can set the application-wide color palette with the following entries:

palette.alternatebase.disabled
palette.alternatebase
palette.base.disabled
palette.base
palette.brighttext.disabled
palette.brighttext
palette.button.disabled
palette.button
palette.buttontext.disabled
palette.buttontext
palette.dark.disabled
palette.dark
palette.highlight.disabled
palette.highlight
palette.highlightedtext.disabled
palette.highlightedtext
palette.light.disabled
palette.light
palette.link.disabled
palette.link
palette.linkvisited.disabled
palette.linkvisited
palette.mid.disabled
palette.mid
palette.midlight.disabled
palette.midlight
palette.shadow.disabled
palette.shadow
palette.text.disabled
palette.text
palette.tooltipbase.disabled
palette.tooltipbase
palette.tooltiptext.disabled
palette.tooltiptext
palette.window.disabled
palette.window
palette.windowtext.disabled
palette.windowtext

NOTES:

You may omit any property, which will simply inherit from the "System" theme for that property.

foreground and background are colors, this is a string which can be anything you can pass to a QColor(const char *) constructor. So, it can take named constants such as "green" or hex color codes like "#00ff00", the special value, "transparent" is also allowed. See the Qt documentation for the full details.

weight is on a scale of 0 to 99. Wher 50 is normal and 75 is bold.

italic and underline are typical boolean values.
