010 Editor contains a number of themes which are a set of colors for all the various user interface elements in the program. Some themes have dark backgrounds, called dark themes, and some themes have light backgrounds, called light themes. The Theme/Colors Options dialog allows choosing a theme and a theme can also be chosen in the Welcome dialog displayed when 010 Editor is run for the first time or with the 'View > Theme' menu. Open the Theme/Color Options dialog by clicking 'Tools > Options...' and selecting Theme/Colors from the list. Styles for all the Syntax Highlighting rules are also controlled by this dialog. New themes can be created and the individual colors in the themes can be customized. The following themes are available:

• Sunset Sky - The default theme with a darker background which some users may find gives less eye strain when used in low-light conditions (nighttime).

  Starry Sky - A dark theme similar to Sunset Sky except uses purple as the default keyword style.

• Bright Sky - The standard light theme with a white background.

• Morning Sky - Another light theme similar to Bright Sky but uses different colors for syntax highlighting (red and green).

A number of themes from older versions of 010 Editor are available for users who prefer the older styles:

• Evening Sky - A dark theme with a dark gray background and blue tabs.

• Blue Sky - A light theme with a white background and blue tabs.

• Rain Cloud - Identical to Blue Sky except the tabs are displayed as gray.

• Day & Night - Uses a light theme for the editor and a dark theme for the application background.

• Midnight - Similar to Evening Sky except the background is black.

• Classic - A theme used in old versions of 010 Editor.

If a theme has been imported using the Import... button at the bottom of the dialog then a new theme named Custom will also be available in the list followed by the file name of the theme in brackets. Clicking the Export... button will save the current theme to a file including any modified colors.

Some user interface elements are drawn using a native style, meaning the operating system draws those elements using its standard drawing procedures (for example the Mac menu bar and the Mac status bar are always drawn by the operating system). 010 Editor overrides some of this drawing with its own user interface styles but the native style can be turned on for some elements by clicking the Options button and turning on native drawing for either the Dialogs, Menu Bar, Tool Bars, Tool Buttons, Dock Headers (the title above each dock window), File Tabs, the Dock Window tabs, Table Headers or Scroll Bars. By default, tabs and headers are drawn with rounded corners but this can be disabled by unchecking the Rounded Tabs or Rounded Headers options. Also when switching themes when individual colors have been modified by the user, 010 Editor will ask whether to Reset the modified colors or to Keep the modified colors. If the Reset Colors when Switching Themes option is set to Ask then a dialog is displayed asking for the user choice but if the choice has already been set the Reset Colors when Switching Themes option will be set to Yes or No.

The Colors table allows customizing individual colors in each theme. Click the color box in the Fore column to set the foreground (text) color of the item or click the color box in the Back column to set the background color of the item. If a color has been modified the color name is drawn in Bold and a Reset button appears in the Reset column. Clicking the Reset button returns just that color to its original value. Some colors may be set to None, which means that the foreground or background color will be inherited from what is drawn behind the element (or in some cases setting to None means the default operating system color will be used instead). Some colors may also include a percentage which represents the Opacity: a value of 0% means full transparent and a value of 100% means fully opaque. When an Opacity is chosen between 0% and 100% then the color is blended with the background color.

Click on a color box to open up the Color Selector Box. Select a color from the box, or click the More Colors... button to open the standard Color Selector Dialog. When using the Color Selector Dialog, select a color from either the color boxes on the left or the color area on the right and click the OK button. Clicking the Add to Custom Colors button adds the current color to the list of 16 colors on the bottom left and this list is also displayed at the bottom of the color selector. If the color has an Opacity then a slider at the bottom of the dialog can be dragged to adjust the Opacity percentage. The Cancel button will close the dialog without selecting a color.

The following lists each of the color options and what they control. Note that when each color is changed the results usually are updated in the application immediately, making it easier to see how color changes will affect the application.

By default the Text Selection Box is only shown when the mouse is over the control (the Opacity is set to zero) but change the Opacity to show the box at all times.

• Hex Highlight Struct - When the mouse cursor is placed over bytes in the Hex Editor that belong to a struct that has been defined in a Template, all the bytes that belong to the struct are highlighted in the Mini Map. This color box controls the color of the highlight in the Mini Map. See Struct Outlining for more information. This highlighting can be turned off using the Mini Map Options dialog.

Find

• Find Results - After clicking the Find All button in the Find Dialog (see Using Find), all occurrences in the file that match the target are colored according to this rule.

• Find Selection Lock - When using the Find Bar or Replace Bar, it is possible to limit the Find or Replace to a selected range of bytes. When a Find or Replace is locked to a selection by clicking the Lock to Selection button in the Options dialog, the selection will then be drawn in this color until the range is unlocked.

• Only In - After a comparison between two files (see Comparing Files), bytes that are only in one file and not the other will be colored according to this rule.

Template Styles

Template Styles are a set of standard colors that can be used inside Templates to apply colors to variables using the syntax <style=???>. See Template Styles for more information. Changing a style color using one of the color boxes will update the variable colors without having to rerun the Template.

Syntax Styles

Use the Syntax Style section to control the color scheme for all of the Syntax Highlighting rules. The use of styles allows multiple Syntax Highlighting rules to share a single color scheme (see Syntax Highlighting for more information). For example, both commenting in C++ and PHP share the 'comment' style. Changing the 'comment' style affects the colors of all rules that use that style. All styles that begin 'tag' are used in tag-based (e.g. XML, HTML) languages and all other styles are typically used in programming languages. Syntax Styles can be assigned a different color depending on if they are being used for a dark theme or a light theme.

Syntax style names are multi-level, meaning then may have multiple periods '.' in their names. If a syntax style is not found then the last period and identifier are removed and the style is searched again. For example, if the "type.builtin" style does not exist then the "type" style would be used instead. When a Syntax Style is selected in the list a special group of icons appears at the top-right corner of the dialog:

Clicking the Plus icon creates a new style and clicking the X icon deletes the selected style. Note that some Syntax Highlighters automatically create syntax styles if they do not already exist. The Up and Down arrows can be used to move styles to a new position in the list. To rename a style double-click the style name in the list. To perform syntax highlighting with a bold font, enable the check box in the Bold column. Note that any created styles are shown as bold in the list and the Reset button will not appear beside the color when it is modified. Styles are exported automatically when the current Theme is exported using the Export... button. Styles can also be created in Binary Templates that do Syntax Highlighting if they call the HighlightFindStyle function.

Clicking the Reset button will return all of the colors to their default values but note that any created Syntax Styles will be kept but moved to the bottom of the Syntax Styles list.
