Hello,

there is no single place to configure a dark theme. If the desktop environment already is dark, all the Qt widgets in eric should be dark as well (at least it was over here on Kubuntu when I switched to a dark theme). In order to get the syntax highlighter to show a dark theme, just import one of the themes (eric6_Dark_1 or eric6_Dark_2). What is left thereafter are various other color settings. Just browse through the configuration dialog.

Regards,
Detlev

Hi,

Trying Eric for the first time and seems to match my needs.

I'm looking for a way to turn Eric dark, everywhere it's possible.

After searching in this mailing list archives, I found the following
post:

https://www.mail-archive.com/eric@riverbankcomputing.com/msg03971.html

Things I have tried inspired by the post above:
- My system theme is already a dark one
- Preferences -> Interface -> Interface -> Style Sheet and choose a
   dark named style sheet. Changes not much but minor parts of the UI
- Preferences -> Editor -> Highlighers -> Styles and import a style
   does the job at least for the editor part of the UI

So my question: is there a way to turn the whole UI in "dark mode" ?
because the default appearance is a bit aggressive for me eyes.

PS: I didn't find any user manual for Eric on the official Website, I
wonder if there is one.

Regards,
