Terrible horrific problems with CubeIDE 1.17. I am SAD.

[JerryMC22]

Hi boys and girls from ST company - capitalistic USA country,

I installed your new CubeIDE 1.17 today and I ascertained that:

1/ If I open a project everything is closed - no window is visible. If I try to close the project, the project is NOT closed and moreower I can even COMPILE !!! and debug and to programm the closed project :) It is very cute.

Whe I was very young we had a car "Škoda MB100" (green color). It was very magic car. If there were lack of water in the main cooler and if the car engine was hot enough e.g. approx. 100°C I could remove the ignition key from ignition box, but the car engine runs gaily without stopping :)   :) :) :) :)  And this situation continued even if I removed the car battery 12V/64Ah :) :) :) :)  YES !!!

2/ I tried to change dark gray text color background in C/C++ editor and ... surprisingly ...  it is NOT possible. See video here:

It is very cute situation. (download is free of charge)

Can you please repair ALL problems ?

Many thanks

Jerry

Show a screenshot where "everything is closed" after opening a project. Is Project Explorer window shown? If not, open it using Window -> Show View -> Project Explorer.

Relevance??

You can change the theme in Window -> Preferences -> General -> Appearance

There are more fine grained ways to customize the theme. Search for "eclipse change font color" or similar. However, if you are unable to open a project, it seems like changing the background color should not be a priority.

Hello @JerryMC22 ,

1/ Close STM32CubeIDE completely (End job in Task Manager) and restart it. This might help in refreshing the IDE and resolving any temporary glitches.

2/ This article with detailed steps may help you: How to change STM32CubeIDE to dark theme - STMicroelectronics Community

The dark mode in CubeIDE is great idea, but the "gary" text background ? really ?

I would expect black text backgroud.

Really - you have to set it to ...what you like more.
