Hi Alex,
currently there is no way (at least no way that I am aware of :-)) to customize the background color of the various editor panels from *inside* BaseX, maybe your OS or window manager might do that.
I think it might need quite some time to provide a dark-theme, as one would need to update the syntax highlighting code as well.
However, I might be interested in this feature as well :-)
Best Michael

Hi Alex,
I know that one of our team members is using BaseX with a dark desktop theme (on Mac OSX), so he might give you some hints.
Could you possibly give us some more information on your environment? What OS do you use?
Thanks, Christian

Hello,
I’m new to BaseX, and I’m trying to customize the GUI, by changing the background color of the Editor panel. I always use dark themes in IDEs because bright whites hurt my eyes.
However, I’ve found no way to change that setting in Base X. The Options / Colors setting in the main menu effects changes to panels other than the Editor.
Is there a way to customize this?
Thank you very much for any help, and especially for having built this great product and making it open source!
Best regards,
Alex
