File locations:

  • on mac: Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/lib/theme/theme.txt

  • on Win7: C:\Program Files\Arduino\lib\theme\theme.txt

  • on Linux: .../arduino-1.6.3/lib/theme/theme.txt

  • on Windows 10: when installed as an App, C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\ArduinoLLC.ArduinoIDE_1.8.10.0_x86__mdqgnx93n4wtt\lib\theme\theme.txt, however it does not seem possible to edit it - it can be opened in notepad++ but a save fails.

Procedure

Using zip application create a zip file containing the original theme.txt found in the location of your operating system. call it theme.txt.original.zip

Now modify the theme.txt file for colors, font sizes, e CF24 tc using zip application create a zip file containing the edited theme.txt found in the location of your operating system. call it theme.txt.custom.zip

In the Arduino IDE goto the menu Arduino-->preferences under the option theme select theme.txt.custom.zip from the drop down list and restart Arduino IDE and the custom theme will take effect.

Copy the theme.txt.custom.zip file to a safe location so it will be available when there is an upgrade or reinstallation.
