Hi! I'm a software developer and I really want to get this editor. I downloaded the free trial, but I can't seem to find a way to change the editor to a dark theme. I'm used to working in Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code, so I'm hoping I can make CoffeeCup just as dark. Is this possible?

If the free edition is the same as the one paid for, the following is the route to follow -

Tools > Highlighter Colors, Options, Auto Correct, Code Templates... then
on the Highlighting tab, near the bottom left, click on Highlighting Color Schemes and Load Color Scheme to choose the one wanted, and then click on OK.

Oh thank you for this, I also can't find the option on mine but not really a fan of dark modes when working so I just let it be, but I do want the dark theme if my eyes are tired on editing, so this will helps.

Thank you for the info Frank,

I am stuck on version 16.2 because the upgrades since require an internet connection to run and my LAN is air gaped for security. My version has no "Highlighter Colors" off the tools menu. It does have a "Preferences" option and then a "Modify Highlighter Colors" where I can try and reassign screen colors one at a time but I have not had good success with setting a dark screen mode. Any suggestions...

Best,

The version you have, 16.2, was launched in 2018 and doesn't have the option of a dark mode. That was added in version 18, sometime in 2022.

There is an online startup check for Site Designer, but I haven't found evidence of a similar check with The HTML Editor. I am therefore wondering whether it is in fact the case.
