Change Tab Colours in Projects

[C87]

Hello PB_All,
Is there a way to change the back colour to the Program Tabs in Projects?
On my 6.02 they are black on a dark blue, which I find impossible to read.

If I have 7 or 8 up I just cannot see which is which without leaning almost over the desk up to the screen

They appear to be hard coded colours. If you feel like compiling your own IDE from the repo they are defined in Common.pb from line 1539.

Thanks again Spikey.
I'll not attempt that. Hopefully the NHS will sort the glaucoma out but not holding my breath. Last appointment 2019 so I'm thinking it will be another three years atg least. Never mind.

A little related to this. I thought I'd just mention about colours and colour blindness, which may help some people.

For years I popped up error messages, or drew attention to something using red and white. Then I was told that colour blindness gives problems with reds and greens. Colour blindness was something I never gave any thought to in the past. There must have been people using my software that had difficulties but they never mentioned it.

So I then went through all my programs and changed red on white and white on red to black on yellow, or yellow on black. The yellow and black actually give a much clearer attention box/label. Also some see blue and think it's green. I also added a colour selection to some programs, so a user could change screen colours.

On this forum when you logon on the colours are black on light grey, or blue. Or grey on blue or grey. Which I don't find easy at all.
