[racket-users] DrRacket Themes

[Juan Carlos Olivo]

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to post here that I uploaded a few dark themes for DrRacket 
in my Github:
jcolivo/DrRacket-themes: DrRacket-themes (github.com) 


I'm a relative newbie, and this is my first time uploading to Github. If I 
made any mistakes or if you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Take care!

Realm of Racket is slightly old (2013), but very useful for a beginner. 
Realm of Racket [Book] (oreilly.com)

[Juan Carlos Olivo]

"As I understand, you have no problem with the customization for editors, 
but have a problem with the customization for the general UI. Is that 
correct?"

You are correct. Currently I have the editor with a dark theme (Spacemacs), 
but the DrRacket UI itself is light, even though I set it to "Dark" in 
Windows settings.

Thank you for seeking clarification!

[racket-users] DrRacket Dark Mode in Windows

[Juan Carlos Olivo]

Hello everyone, 

I was reading in the release notes that DrRacket supports dark mode as of 
7.5; however, I don't see this option in the DrRacket preferences. I also 
have "Dark" as the default color under the "Colors" section in Settings > 
Personalization > Colors. I am using the latest Windows 10. 

I was wondering if I am missing something or doing something wrong? 

Thank you!

Thanks Paulo, I like seeing these additional resources regarding Racket and 
computer science, as I'm at an intermediate level on both.
