Delphi Tokio IDE - any way to customize?


I am moving from Delphi XE4 to 10.2. The new Units Names style of black text against a dark gray background does not suit my eyesight. Can anybody suggest how to change it, preferably without using 3rd party add-ins?

This is how the new style looks like, its very hard for me to read active unit name: Tokio units tabsheet

This is how my XE4 unit sheet looks like, and what I expect from the new IDE aswell: image


Solution

  • You may try to exclude ModernTheme250.bpl from the IDE's "Known IDE Package" registry setting: Open "regedit.exe", navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Embarcadero\BDS\19.0\Known IDE Packages find the entry named "$(BDS)\Bin\ModernTheme250.bpl". Edit this entry to change the value(!) [not the name] to start with an underscore _. This will disable this package from beeing loaded and you will get back the old style.
