Hi everyone,

Masterpieces take time to be crafted, and Dreamweaver CC 2017 is no exception. There have been major upgrades to both the interface and functionality of the product in this release. And because it can quickly get overwhelming, I suggest that you get an understanding of what’s changed in Dreamweaver with this release.

If you do not see the latest version listed, click the gear icon on your CC desktop application, and select Check for app updates.

Note: Please create separate posts for questions about this release. This post is an announcement. While I am not locking it now, I will do that if this post becomes a catch-all for such questions.

Please fix the code coloring and allow the background color for source code to be white again. There is not enough contrast when you start with a light grey page.

Hi Ray,

You can choose light code theme in Dreamweaver.

Option is available under preferences dialog > Interface category > code theme.

Hope this would help.

Based on how much activity and problems there are with color coding, I think I'll wait for the next maintenance update for DW CC 2017 before testing it out. Sounds like a real mess.

    Hi there,

    i do like the new features and the interface however I can't seem to change the code coloring anymore in preferences - Code coloring has gone!

    I find it awkward now the colours that denote certain types code have changed and I can't customise.

    Thanks

      Sorry for my English I use a translator

      I have a question. You have a company has at least one programmer writing in php or js?

      If there is something ask him whether it is to write even a line of code possible in the new color scheme. code highlighting not just bad, it just does not. Same as writing code in Notepad.

      I tried to move color.xml from the old version to which the highlighting I used to, but it does not work. But I have met these challenges in a spoke of the beta version.

      The "original formatting for js and php" great innovation, but there are problems. At some where in the world it is a standard code?

      public
      function {

      As a result, installed version of DV 2015 if the 1-2 months the situation will not change, will have to unsubscribe from all the Adobe products in favor of other analogues.

        Preran,

        I still have several customers who have sites build on classic ASP that I am managing, and I'm still working off of Dreamweaver CC version 13.2 because the versions that came after made this more difficult (managing sites done with ASP) and the old deprecated server behaviors.

        In the latest Dreamweaver CC 2017, is it still possible to:

        • have (or install somehow) support for classic ASP documents?
        • install the extension that enables deprecated server behaviors?

        As work comes around for these older sites, I am gradually getting everyone off of classic ASP onto PHP, but there's no getting around the fact that I'll still have some ongoing work in the classic ASP language at least for the next year or two.  It's just a reality I have to deal with for the time being. I hope this is still possible in the new Dreamweaver, otherwise, I guess I'll just have to continue working off of version 13.2.

        If Dreamweaver CC 2017 will not be compatible with that need, then is it possible to run both versions of Dreamweaver without any conflicts between the two residing on the same system?

        Please let me know. Thanks!

          Hi Steve,

          There is no ASP support in the current version of Dreamweaver, and I am not sure if it is in the roadmap. You can install both versions of Dreamweaver on your computer, but you can open and work on just one version at a time.

          From what I know, the Server Behavior extensions is still available with Dreamweaver.

          Thanks,

          Preran
