Hello everybody!
How do I customize the color scheme for myself in the latest version of ESP-IDF 3.0? Color themes are not suitable. I'm trying to change, something is changing, but the main thing is not. It worked out right away in the previous one, but not in this one! I edited the color themes, turned them off and tried to customize them without them - it still doesn't work. I looked through all the settings where there is about colors. The colors change in the example window, but not in the project itself. What should be done?

I think you have to use menuconfig for configuration settings.

Hello,

If you're talking about Espressif-IDE 3.0, please check the preference window for Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors

Thanks

Maybe I put it wrong. We are talking about the color display of lines of code.

I've tried it. Some values change, but most do not.

Hi, I tried 3.0 too but reverted back to 2.12. No inactive code highlight (honestly a dealbreaker for me), previously working color customizations are not working anymore, theme switching not working either. I'll give Espressif some time to figure stuff out.

It's clear. So I'm not the only one. Espressif, your comments?

I was also trying to change the color palette due to I am unable to code with the default... that soft colors are so difficult to see...

I realised the problem is that, by default, files are opened with a new text editor "C/C++ Editor (LSP)" which I think is not configurable...

Solution: Right click on a .c file -> Open with -> Other... -> C/C++ Editor (NOT the LSP)

The color palette will be the original and fully customizable on preferences menu.

I too would like to second this problem. I would like to use 3.0 but the lack of syntax coloring options is a problem. According to: https://developer.espressif.com/blog/es ... p-support/
"The LSP C/C++ Editor is derived from the standard Eclipse Text Editor, so you can change the editor color options from the Text Editor preferences"

Would it be possible to derive the LSP C/C++ Editor from the standard eclipse C/C++ editor instead? Then we could have our syntax color options back.

A further problem I noticed is that in 3.0 I'm unable to open C files with the C/C++ editor by default. I do right click->open with->other and then I select C/C++ Editor and select the checkbox for "Use it for all *.c files* but the option never sticks.

Is any update with solution? Starting Espresiff project make code style (dark theme) like in the Visual Studio Code default style.
