Hi,

I am using Code Composer Studio v11.2.0.00007, and I am using Dark theme. As I am developing in TI-RTOS ecosystem, I have some issues with the dark theme.

As you can see, when I enter in the .cfg file for a TI-RTOS project (in my case a modified version of TCPEcho example from TI-RTOS for Tiva C package) with the XCONF viewer, I see all the file in white background and white foreground. I attach you a screenshot to show you the issue:

I saw in this thread (https://e2e.ti.com/support/tools/code-composer-studio-group/ccs/f/code-composer-studio-forum/938783/ccs-launchxl-cc1310-dark-theme-and-xgconfig-editor?tisearch=e2e-sitesearch&keymatch=dark%2520theme%2520xconfig#) from e2e.ti.com forum that was a person who passed through the same issue, but I didn't notice any solution at the moment.

Is there a solution which solves this problem? Could you kindly help me to deal with it?

Thank you very much.

Enric,

I do not have a good answer for this. I can see the same on my machine. In general I believe for the older TI-RTOS we default to opening the .cfg files in a text editor. The newer TI-RTOS7 uses the SysConfig tool instead which has much better dark mode support. Unfortunately Tiva C does not have TI-RTOS7.

Regards,

John

Hi John,

Thank you for your response. Is there a way to edit eclipse preferences manually to adapt the colours of this file types?

Enric,

Unfortunately this view is really a custom editor so the ability to customize via the Eclipse settings is limited. It seems to be picking up some colours (not sure if it is getting those from Eclipse or the OS) but others seem to be hard coded.

In my preferences, I tried changing as many of the white items as I could to bold colours so that I could see if they made a difference. I did not have any luck.

Regards,

John

Ok, JohnS.

Is there a way to post an issue to request an update from developers of TI-RTOS?

Thanks,

Enric

Enric,

I have filed a bug for it but to be honest it would be extremely unlikely that it would ever get fixed.

Hi again,

If you download this theme extension from eclipse marketplace (https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/darkest-dark-theme-devstyle), the XCONFIG app works fine with the dark theme (I use the "Darkest Dark" theme).

I haven't test it in deep but I think this is the answer I was searching for. I hope this result hepfull for any other user with my situation.

Again, thank you John for your answers.

Enric,

Thank you for posting this. I can add that to the workaround for other users. Maybe there is something in there that our team could replicate that would fix this in our dark them.

Regards,

John
