Re: Code colouring in dreamweaver 2017

My question: does anyone know where exactly (in which folder path) one can find the main.less and package.json Brackets style files on the MacOS Sierra operating system?

Or, how to edit Brackets code color theme for Dreamweaver 2017 in MacOS Sierra?

Thanks,

Dean

Correct answer Preran

It's still limited regardless, can't do language specific code colouring.


Hi everyone,

Please update to the latest version of Dreamweaver 2017.0.1 where most issues with code coloring have been addressed.

See Dreamweaver 2017.0.1 is now live  for more info.

This document  https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/customize-code-coloring.html has been updated to reflect changes.

Thanks,

Dreamweaver CC 2017 is HORRIBLE!!!!  I agree with the code colouring - what the heck???  Plus all my code is auto indenting - don't dictate to me how I should read my code!  Why is it doing that?  I'm switching back to 2015 until this gets fixed.

There is no way to customize code coloring in Dreamweaver 2017.  The colors are chosen based on the theme you select for the coding view.

If this is important, we suggest that you report it to the team using Feature Request/Bug Report Form

Hi Preran,

So there is no way in the Mac version of Dreamweaver 2017? Because these folks found a way in the Windows version:

Re: Code colouring in dreamweaver 2017

I'm asking you because if there is no fix for the Mac then this update basically breaks Dreamweaver for me. It's useless. And Dreamweaver is the real reason I pay Adobe the monthly fee to use the software. I have emailed the bug report forum. Thank you.

Not that I know of. I will share with my team to see if they have anything to suggest.
