PureBasic color not good for my eyes [SOLVED]

merihevonen · Post by **merihevonen** » Mon Jan 01, 2007 8:06 pm

Hello!

I have tried PureBasic and I like it a lot, but the interface and help file of PureBasic is in yellow, and my eyes can't stand yellow so good (I changed the PureBasic interface to the Blue theme; thank God to the one who invented the coloring engine for PureBasic). However, the documentation here is good for my eyes: http://www.purebasic.com/documentation/index.html

Even though that one is outdated (it seems like version 3.94, and I have downloaded version 4.00) I would like to have a CHM file of that documentation, but I don't have internet at home and I'm now in an internet café.

If someone would be so kind to provide me a CHM file of the above mentioned documentation, I would be more than satisfied. Thank you.

It's inside your Purebasic folder on your HDD

Thank you for your reply Kale, but I think I was not clear in my post:

I know that the help file is on my computer, but it is in yellow and my eyes can't stand yellow so good. That's why I asked if someone would be so nice to help me and compile the blue-ish version of the documentation from here: http://www.purebasic.com/documentation/index.html

Thanks.

I love PB, but the default color schemes are disgusting.

I think I was again not clear enough:

I have a problem with my eyes to see yellow color and I spoke with my doctor about it and he said that I should stay away of yellow color as much as I can until the end of this week because of some tests he wanted to make before making an operation.

It happened by an car accident and I think you get the picture now; it's not that I don't like the yellow color, but I can't see it well and it makes me crazy.

However, I'm still a human and a person and I don't want to stop my delight; coding that is. I came from Perl and I have Debian Sid (Linux) installed on my system. I was searching for something powerful, and lastly found PureBasic. PureBasic's IDE was hard to use, but my friend found a way to change the color theme to blue which was one reason more to maybe buy PureBasic later. The only problem left is the help file which is in yellow.

So I ask again: If anyone could please help me to make a CHM (or PDF) file of this documentation here: http://www.purebasic.com/documentation/index.html
I don't have internet at home, because the internet café where I am now is 24/7 open, and the internet access is cheap, so I didn't bother to get an internet connection home.

Thank you.

one possibility would be, to use the "offline" feature of you browser.

add the complete bleuish online-help to you favorites with activated "offline"-checkbox.
the browser with load the complete data down to your harddisk.
you can then view the webside while disconnected.

Iceweasel (a rename of Firefox) doesn't have this "offline" option you talked about. And in this internet café where I am now, they have Ubuntu Linux; so again no Internet Explorer as you seem to refer to it.

And besides, I still need an internet connection at home to be able to browse offline, and as I said it already, I don't have an internet connection at home.

Can it be so hard just for such a small thing? I think I'm starting to be against buying PureBasic if we don't get any more forward.

tyaa...

you would need the source for the blueish help in every case,
no matter if you store it as html-documents or compile it into a .chm-file

so...
don't use the help til the end of the week.

wait some minute I'm trying something
- I'm downloading the documentation with wget so that it gets all the html files mentioned in index.html then I will upload them as a zip file so you can view the documentation offline.

There's no guarantee the operation would work, and the doctor said there would be an approx. 60% chance of success =(

It's not hard to fetch all pages from some webspace (even not hard to limit then to specific pages) .. I'm not sure tho does webserver admin like if documentation is mirrored

It would be nice if they would offer one zip from whole "documentation" area

did you feel than I'm Finnish because of Location info at left

I prefer use here english so all others would understand me

tools like wget can mirror web pages at linux but if used incorrectly, you may starting mirror whole internet
