Change default theme

[mstavares]

Description

Hi,

I would like to change the default theme from dark to light. I have made this changes in ThemeAgentImpl class, I have deleted CHE's data folder but the default theme keeps the same (dark)

I have changed this:

  @Inject
  public ThemeAgentImpl(Darktheme theme) {
    defaultTheme = theme;
    themes = new HashMap<>();
  }

To this:

  @Inject
  public ThemeAgentImpl(LightTheme theme) {
    defaultTheme = theme;
    themes = new HashMap<>();
  }

Could you help me please?

Thanks

Do you mean you want an entirely new theme, or just to use a light variant of the default? Both Theia and GWT-based workspaces support this out of the box via preferences:

• In Theia, you can go to File > Settings > Change Color theme and select light
• In the GWT-based editor, you can go to Profile > Preferences > IDE > General and there is a theme dropdown (refreshing may be required)

Hi @amisevsk thanks for your reply,

Yes, I want to use the light variant by default and I'm using GWT-based editor.

In the GWT-based editor, you can go to Profile > Preferences > IDE > General and there is a theme dropdown (refreshing may be required)

I'm generating a binary with a eclipse che docker image, so your solution won't fit in my case. I would like to know I can I set it by default on eclipse che's source code as I asked. I was expecting that changing the defaultTheme variable from DarkTheme to LightTheme have the behavior that I was expecting, but the dark theme stills there by default.

Thanks,
