per project color profile
« on: September 04, 2023, 08:08:22 PM »
Is it possible to set a different color profile for each project or workspace?  I don't see any way to do it with the project/workspace setup options.

Right now I do it with separate configuration directories but it would be simpler if there the color could just change when I switch the project.

Not yet. There is support for different color profiles for each Language but this won't help if both projects have the same types of source files.

You can definitely run a macro when you switch workspaces and I suspect a macro can change things in your configuration but exactly how I don't know.

Assuming you do not have language-specific color profiles set up, you can record a macro to change the default color scheme.

Macro > Record Macro
Tools > Options... > Appearance > Colors > (Change Default color profile)
OK
Macro > Stop Recording...
Give the macro a name, e.g., set-color-chalkboard
Save

Then you can add that command to the list of commands to be ran when you open a workspace/project.

Project > Project Properties... > Open
Add set-color-chalkboard

If you want different colors for projects because the projects are in different languages, I'd just use the language-specific color profile settings.
