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.
* Arduino IDE 1.8.5+
* MacOS Mojave+
* 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.

- Mac users should look in
~/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Java/lib
and replace thetheme
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/
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.
