The Best TestComplete's UI Scheme

Hi Testers,



As you know, TestComplete offers Code Editor’s several highlighting settings. However, we’ve got used to working with them so fast that they become very boring and irritating. Sometimes, you want to bring something new into your coding to make it fresher and more interesting. Don’t you think so? One of the ways is to set a new highlighting scheme :)



I believe that each of you has your own coding highlighting settings that match your perception, or sensation, or maybe the weather outside :) That’s interesting to know what highlighting schemes you are using at the moment. Let’s share them!

We can vote for them and identify the most interesting and fascinating scheme!



How to share:

That’s simple - you can do this in several clicks:



1. Export your highlighting settings and attach the created *.acnfg file to your reply. For this, click TestComplete’s Tools | Settings | Export Settings and enable several Root | Options options specified in the attached ExportSettings.png file.



2. Make a screenshot demonstrating what your Code Editor panel looks like and attach it to your reply as well.




How to apply the scheme you like:

It is as simple as the previous steps:



1. Download the *.acnfg file corresponding to the scheme you like.



2. Click TestComplete’s Tools | Settings | Import Settings and specify the file you’ve downloaded.




Don’t forget to vote for the scheme you like!



Let’s start :)
  • Hello!

     

    While working with TestComplete's editor from day to day for years, I also noted that looking at the same standard colors that are not changed from nineties is boring. Thankfully, TestComplete allows modifying the color scheme of the editor as you wish. A couple of major TestComplete versions ago I started to create alternative personal schemes and that made my everyday work more interesting and inspiring.

     

    My current scheme is based on the new cool Visual Studio 2012 Dark theme and I am glad to share it with everyone.

     

    Happy testing! :)

  • Hello,

     

    Somehow, when I import one of the schedule, nothing is change to TestComplete's layout. Also after restart the application nothing has changed.

    - Importing works fine. No errors.

    - I'm using TC 12.6

    Is there something I'm missing

     

    Kind regards,

    Daniel
