Questions

PLEASE bring back the old code colour options we had before Dreamweaver 2017.I've even noticed that the old color files are still buried within the app folder, so why on earth can't we use them?For loyal customers like me who have been using the same colour scheme for many years (since Dreamweaver 1), it's a huge blow to suddenly lose what we are SO used to.My productivity has seriously dropped since this update because it takes longer to spot the parts of code I want to edit.Please reinstate this old feature so we can get back to work again.

Hi all,See Learn how you can customize the colors of your code elements in Dreamweaver. to enable code coloring in Dreamweaver CC 2017Thanks,Preran

In main.less, is there a way to be more specific with coloring code, something like the attached picture?  The idea that all tags in a code type are colored the same makes for a lot of painful searching.

After I minified my css file online (DW 2017 thought that minifying shouldn't be included in this version any more???) all code became white after a rgba. See screenshot.Maybe the Adobe team team can look at this bug. In the meanwhile, is it possible to fix this myself?

Many of us need to support thousands of pages of Classic ASP (.asp), yet Adobe in their ultimate wisdom has removed color coding for ASP!Yes, VBScript is in the list, but when you open an ASP page, it doesn't auto-select VBScript, you have to manually select VBScript every time you open an ASP page! This is really a pain...PHP works fine. Come'on Adobe - (Yes, I entered a "feature request" for this - but shouldn't have needed to)

     HELP! I have used a dark them in Dreamweaver for a few years now and after doing an update this morning the code back ground is white and it hurts my eyes. I noticed there is no option to have a dark theme any more. Is there anyway to go back to what i had before without changing them one by one?Thanks

First why can't i combined two Dreamweaver toolbars together?Under window > toolbars > I always use Document and Standard but i can not combine them into one line and when i try they stack on top of each other and code/split/ design is in the middle. So i am not sure what is going on, i want to just have one line, the are so dumb stacked.Below are examples of what happens:1.  2.  also where did code coloring go. I don't want to change the background to dark vs light. below is an example, is there any way besides going in the program files to make the colors darker. The light color is hurting my eyes and making the background darker is not an answer. We used to able to change just the code coloring to different sets of color. Please add this feature back, there was no reason to take it out.[Moved from Comments forum to specific Program forum...

When making edits to code in Dreamweaver, I click on a line of code and the entire tag highlights in a really light green with white text.  This is not readable and I have gone into preferences and changed the "highlighting" which has no effect on this highlight color.  How do I change it?

Is there an easy way to change the code coloring in Dreamweaver 2017 to the coloring that it was in previous versions?Below is a screenshot of how the code looks in the previous version *which I like)And here is how it looks now (completely different colors and does not apply different coloring to PHP, JS, and HTML within same document).I have read the discussion (like here: Learn how you can customize the colors of your code elements in Dreamweaver. ) around changing LESS files, etc. but I don't have time to try and go in and manually create and figure out a new theme that matches the old look/colors. And I can't find a LESS theme on github that has the coloring I need.Can't Adobe just create a code theme called "Legacy" or something that has these old colors? I tried the "classic" theme thinking that would do it, but those colors are totally different.Any insight is much appreciated.

Hi all,I'm a Dreamweaver CS6 person - I would use this forever if I could - but my new 3840x2160 laptop and cs6 don't get along (Fonts move about when highlighting and even with compatibility turned on - it looks blurry)How can I get the colors when coding in CC 2018 to match the colors of CS6?It was just the classic php editing color scheme.Is there just a main.less I can download to make it look like cs6?Thanks for the help!

I am trying to customize my editor code colors. There is a Brackets theme solution for people on Windows, scroll down to Per Berntsen Nov 3, 2016 8:15 AM:Re: Code colouring in dreamweaver 2017My 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

I originally had a dreamweaver CS5.  Which last january I discovered was no longer supported.  I dowenloaded dreamweave 2020 in a failed attempt to upgrade CS5 to a supported platform.  I found that 1 week was not long enough for my learning curve.  Also with the cost of $300/year, the Jamestown Rotary Club can not afford it.  Now I'm stuck with an app (dreamweaver 2020) that I CAN NOT UNINSTALL/DELETE FROM MY WINDOWS 10 LAPTOP.  I tried "googling" for uninstall instructions, sadly none worked.  I need detailed instructions on how to safely remove this app.  Adobe should have made provisions for a user to uninstall any app as easily as it was to install!!!!Gail Thomas

Where's the Date Modified Column in DW 2020's Files Window?

I switched from Adobe GoLive CS2 to Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2017. Yes, I know that's a big jump. Dreamweaver CC 2017 is the dumbest program for understanding and displaying code colors in the interface. GoLive CS2 could understand code coloring without any preference changes and it is more than a decade older than Dreamweaver CC 2017. I am honestly thinking about switching back to GoLive CS2 just so I can read the code. I have tried everything I can find online about changing code coloring. Including Adobe's own, incomplete, how to on changing code colors (Learn how you can customize the colors of your code elements in Dreamweaver. ). I say incomplete because the description on how to change "Customize code colors for mixed code files" doesn't actually tell you how to change colors for all file types. On top of that, it doesn't actually change the colors for the coding languages mixed in the same file. It did change some coloring, but I have ASP, HTML, CSS, Javascript, and JQuery all mixe

I have a question for the vets at creating HTML signatures and mailers : basically, how do you handle styling? Do you link to a CSS (stylesheet) located on a public server - which I already do this with the images - or do you include it in the HTML file, between <style> tags before the body? Or do you do neither, and simply apply "style=" to every item regardless of how redundantly bloated things can get going that route? Thanks!

When I switch to Design Mode, the CSS is  not implemented.  What's wrong?

A really simple but irritating problem. I am trying to embed a YouTube video in a simple HTML page with Dreamweaver, defining the player window to be larger. But no matter what I do, the player window is too small! Here is the code I am using: <iframe width=“1280" height=“720” src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6c8Sfgte0VA"VQ=hd1080 frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> it's within a table which should be large enough.But it looks silly and puny on the livesite: http://bigmyth.com/myths/english/2_zulu_full.htm Please help! Lots of people are complaining.Thank you.Fiona

It would be great if DW were able to minify a group of javascript files. Could it be possible to add it as an extension? That would be great!

Hi,A few years ago (before I knew enough to start coding on my own) a friend of mine set up one of my websites so that I never had to use file extensions in my hyperlinks.What the server would do in the absence of an extension is cycle through a list of favored ones (specified by me) until it found a match. In other words, if I'm linking to just "/contact" (no extension) then the server would search the target folder for "contact.php" (assuming .php is first on my list of extensions to search for) and failing that, it'll search for the next extension (.html); and so on...The purpose is merely elegance, nothing more; I find that linking to "/contact" looks better than linking to "/pages/contact.html" (and also gives less away about the BTS structure of the site).I'm already using the following code (provided by one of you superheroes a couple of months back) to remove /pages from the url.:RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-fRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-dRewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^

I was running Dreamweaver 20.1. I attempted to upgrade to 20.2, The upgrade got an error code 305. I tried a few more times to do the update with the same error. I used the Windows Control Panel to remove the program and rebooted. I used  Creative Cloud to reinstall Dreamweaver. I get a 183 error code. The instructions I can find on the web say to try it again. I tried 3 more times with the same error. What's next? Thank you.

Hi everyone, Before the latest update, I was able to connect to my client's server and upload my files just fine. Now, I'm having an issue connecting to my client's server. I'm receiving the notices in the screenshots below. I, nor my client changed anything in the server from the time I initially uploaded my files to the time updated the app and needed to make edits and upload again. Can anyone provide me with guidance on how to remedy this issue? Thanks so much!!! 😊😊😊 

Hey, does anybody else have this offset shadow with Dreamweaver on Windows or is it just me? It's like that for a few years now and I don't know if it's just normal (though it looks ugly) or has something to do with settings. Having this on all my Windows computers though:
