Dark Theme with Dark Mode

Dark Arduino Theme + Dark Mode for MacOs

INTRODUCTION

In addition for the forked project "Dark Arduino Theme" this project provides a tweak to present the Arduino IDE completely in Dark Mode which has been brought to you as a feature of MacOS Mojave. Two scripts allow enabling/disabling Dark Mode.

PREREQUISITES

* Arduino IDE 1.8.5+
* MacOS Mojave+

HOWTO

* Script DarkModeScript/enableDarkMode.sh enables DarkMode and starts IDE
* Script DarkModeScript/disableDarkMode.sh restores original

DarkModeScript/files contains the original and altered state of Arduino's Info.plist

The later description contains the forked project Dark Arduino Theme by https://github.com/jeffThompson/DarkArduinoTheme

Revised for Arduino version 1.8.5+, not tested with earlier versions.

INSTALLATION

• Mac users should look in ~/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Java/lib and replace the theme folder inside (making a copy of the original in case want to revert back).
• Windows is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\lib.
• Linux will be in /usr/share/arduino/lib/

CREATING YOUR OWN MODS

The newest version of the Arduino IDE makes creating custom themes trickier: you now need to edit the theme.txt file, an XML file inside the syntax folder, and the button files. Unfortunately, not all items in the theme.txt file actually work, so if you can't get an item to change, try another one of the files.
