Issue with themes - Can we go back to the old scheme

Open grumpydonut opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Hi,

This is a great project. I'm really looking forward to v7. I don't know if you're still working on v6, as the last commit to the code was on 20 August. But I have a request for version 6 that would really fix a really big interface issue.

Can you change the way the themes work back to how it was till version 6.1? Here is how it used to look in 6.1: devcpp_6 1

and here is how it looks right now in 6.7.5:

devcpp_6 7 5

Honestly, the new interface is confusing, and looks really bad compared to the old one. Can you just change it back to the old scheme where the theme only changed the look of the code-editor window?

Dev-C++ 5 & Red Panda Dev-C++ 6 is developed using Delphi 7. It's very outdated, and I've made lots of effert to make it support dark color themes, high-dpi support and other modern UI features. But there's still a lots to do. So finally I decided to throw all these mess off and start from the beginning using the QT framework.

Since the new QT version, Red Panda C++ 7, is almost ready for the first beta release , surely I won't develop more time on the old version. It can still be used for windows xp compatibility. But for windows 7 or later, I'll suggest to use the new version.
