Code View Customization in DW 19

[rickster56]

Doe anyone else have problems with the code view colors?  I'm having problems reading large swaths of code when everything is monochromatic.  There are very few options and from the user guide you have to go into a main.less file which is far too complicated.

I've been using DW 2015 because of smoother workflow.  DW 19 has too many problems.

Does anyone have a better system for customizing the code view?

Thanks in advance.

Hve a look at Learn how you can customize the colors of your code elements in Dreamweaver.

Unfortunately, there's no easier way.

Adobe simply hasn't re-integrated Code Coloring back into the Preferences interface. Whether they plan to do that at some point in the future is anybody's guess. CC 2015 was the last version we could change from there, ever since, we've had to modify program files instead of choosing colors for a list of categories.

Does anyone know why my updated code colors aren't showing in th html and css I'm editing? The syntax is correct. I checked multiple times and it just doesn't work.

If you are using the latest version of Dreamweaver, have a look at the correct answer. If you still cannot get the changes to show, start a new discussion with details of what you have done. That way we may be able to replicate the problem and help you further.

Save your theme's LESS file.

Go back to Preferences and apply the new theme.

Restart DW.
