Quick story:
I got a The Game Creators kit which included many things including DarkBASIC Pro compiler, it was a Christmas present from whatever year, I think it was in my high school days when I got it. Specifically from immediate family. I first used this compiler (it was my second compiler, the first one (which was not from TGC, it was CodeBlocks)) on a Toshiba Satillite laptop (which ended up useless after a yr+) so about a year later, I finally get it on my tower(same machine I spoke of in a previous thread I made).

Let me get to my point:

I install it, activate it, and remove irrelevant (two icons) links. Now, when I first had it on a machine I found a way to change the skin of the compiler. It was very usefully and vividly eye-friendly.

So I'm looking for what I had set. And yes, I searched vigorously on the Internet looking for already asked similar questions, found nothing.

Okay, forgot one thing, the setting I'm looking for is -already- in the original software.

Are you talking about the compiler or the IDE (Integrated Development Environment)? The compiler is a non-graphical application that takes a file full of code and produces an executable out of it. An IDE is a graphical program that allows you to type text into it. The IDE is usually the program that shell executes the compiler in the background when you hit "compile" in the menu.

Here are a few IDE's that are really cool to work with:

Indigo
CodeSurge

The compiler itself (along with the default GUI) and I don't know what an IDE is.

So specifically I'm trying to find how I once previously made the (compiler) interface look really smooth with custom GUI looks.


By the way, what are those hyperlinks about? (looked at them)

I'm pretty sure you're talking about an IDE. The compiler doesn't have a GUI or any graphical interface.

The links I posted are IDEs in which you can type your code. They are much better to use than the one that comes with DBP. Just download one of them, install it, and you're good to go.

The IDE sits on top of the compiler and talks to the compiler, that's why you're mistaking the two.

Just to emphasise what TheComet has just said:

What is an IDE?

I'm afraid I don't know what settings you are talking about either.

Okay yes yes indeed an IDE. I looked at the wiki link.


I think EXtends has this special GUI. I saw some custom fonts shown in here: http://www.thegamecreators.com/?m=view_product&id=2080

2) XGui System and 3) XFont System

Including the two first square inch sized pictures.

(I did not post the link neatly because I didn't find any message coders)

Are you talking about the skin changing option of the IDE in Tools->Options->Environment->Application Appearance.. ?
It has settings to change the style of things

It's set at visual studio 2008.

Did not find what I was looking for.
