I am using theme in vs code called "Monokai Pro".
Is there any way to change the color of the UI of vs code to chosen color ?
Colors in some text (in the attached image) like "Cut", "Copy", "Copy As", ... can be changed ?
See this article and edit settings.json file in vscode directory

Goal: I'm using a VS extension called "ClaudiaIDE" that enables you to set an image as a background to Visual Studio 2019. I set the background to a wood grain wallpaper (it looks amazing). It makes the code editor background and main window background transparent so you can see the image, but not anything else. I then started using Color Theme Editor to add transparency to other sections of the VS IDE so it's mostly showing the background image. I want the right side windows (like solution explorer) to be transparent as well.
Two stackoverflow answers say the color value is stored under "treeview". I changed the "treeview" background using the wizard but it made no difference (despite other SO comments saying it worked). Likely due to the old answers being for VS 2017 or earlier.
I then changed the "treeview" color manually in the CustomTheme.vstheme file and I successfully made the grey color transparent, but now there is an absolute black blackground, which was perhaps there to give a shadow effect. The code I edited is below (The opacity is intentional):
<Category Name="TreeView" GUID="{92ecf08e-8b13-4cf4-99e9-ae2692382185}">
<Color Name="Background">
<Background Type="CT_RAW" Source="00252526" />
<Foreground Type="CT_RAW" Source="FFF1F1F1" />
</Color>
I searched for every reference of "#FF000000" and for testing made them all fully transparent: "#00000000". This made no difference, solution explorer retained its "#FF000000" (by observation only, I don't know where the code is). I know the hex is right because I copied a screenshot into paint.net and grabbed the color.
I then changed my Microsoft Windows settings so that it didn't use the dark background, in case it was applying that to the VS windows. No change.
If anyone has any ideas on how to access the black underlying background for windows like "solution explorer" i would greatly appreciate it. It must be getting that value from somewhere.
Install this:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=VisualStudioPlatformTeam.VisualStudio2019ColorThemeEditor
Top menu:
Tool=>Customize Colors => choose theme
Show All Elements button (same row with save icon)
Search for (there is search box):
Environment → ToolWindowFloatingFrameInactive
Environment → ToolWindowFloatingFrame
Tool Window → Tab → Background
TreeView → Background
I want to change the font of the search bar and also the results there, because I can't see it clearly
I saw your question still hanging so I installed Sublime on Debian to try to configure it.
First of all, you can read how to customize Sublime at here. And the part of interface you want to configure is called quick_panel, specifically class quick_panel_label.
At the end of theme configuration page, there is an example of customization file.
I don't know what theme are you using, but if you are using Default theme, you should create new file called Default.sublime-theme and place it in Packages/User/. You can quickly find that path by menu of sublime, Preferences -> Browse packages... .
Content of Default.sublime-theme should be:
[
{
"class": "quick_panel_label",
"font.size": 25
}
]
where font.size represent font size of menu you are trying to customize.
P.S.
If you don't know the name of the file your theme is using, from menu choose Preferences -> Theme... and all themes should be listed with their .sublime-theme file.
For example, I customized Arc Dark theme.
I hope this works for you.
How can I change the default highlight colour in Sublime Text 3? I used to know how find a highlight key in one of the theme files in ST2 but things changed quite on ST3. Are they in the library somewhere? "Preference >> Browse Package" is almost empty.
You can see which theme you are using by going to
Preferences>Colour Scheme
and see which one is ticked.
Open the theme file and find the key that says:
<key>selection</key>
Go to a site that shows hex colour codes (like this one http://html-color-codes.com/) and find the code for the colour you want. Then sub your new colour code into the line below the selection key in the theme file, replacing the old hex colour code.
Save the modified theme file and it should work straight away.
EDIT
Install PackageResourceViewer plugin using package control. Open the command palette with ⌘⇧P (for windows/linux CtrlShiftP) and type prv to get the PackageResourceViewer options. Choose Open Resource >>Theme- YourTheme >> and edit your theme file
Tony Vincent's answer is excellent, and I would also add that if changing the selection color makes the selected text difficult to read, selectionForeground is the key to change. For example:
<key>selectionForeground</key>
<string>#000000</string>
With the new .sublime-color-scheme format, it's a global setting key named line_highlight
e.g.
{
"name": "My colour scheme",
"globals":
{
"background": "rgb(0, 0, 0)",
"foreground": "#aaaaaa",
"caret": "red",
"line_highlight": "#222222"
},
}
I knew that colour can be set through
Settings->Style Configurator
but when the line that I am editing has a different font and background colour which I don't know how to set.
Also when I am selecting an block of code, I can't control the colour of the selection.
Basically I just want to set the editor to have the same color as the typical console, green on black background (which is friendly to eyes, not straining).
Is it possible to customise the color in the notepad++ editor ?
Or anyone knows of an editor that can meet this requirement ?
Thanks
For me it works fine to do the following:
Go to "Settings" Menu and choose "Style Configurator".
There you choose "Global Styles" (language list) and "Default Style" (style list) and set the colors you want.
You can also try to use the "Global override" style and check the different checkboxes.
In Notepad++ there is quick option without change color setting. In Notepad++ have many themes with different color option.
Notepad++ has many themes which you can select in a dropdown box in the Style Configurator window. Many of these themes (e.g. Bespin, Black board, Twilight) have dark background and different colors for different kinds of text for programming languages.
After Click “Save & Close” Button then Background and Font Color will change, like in the below image.

Could someone please provide me a link to the default Colors.xml file for Dreamweaver CS6? I've updated my preferences to a dark color scheme and would like to revert back to the defaults.
This is the default color file for Dreamweaver CS6.

Assuming you're referring to the code color, you can change your color scheme back to "Classic" here:
Preferences > Code Coloring > Theme (dropdown menu).
