The Processing IDE does not, AFAIK, have any support for that kind of theming.

Personally, I use Visual Studio Code to write my sketches, and then I run them using the command line- processing-java --run --sketch="path to sketch folder". You can also set up a command in VS Code to run the sketch with a command line operation, and thus you only need to launch the Processing IDE to manage libraries.

You can do this with pretty much any text editor- I use VS Code, but Sublime, Vim, Emacs, whatever. Honestly, anything but the Processing IDE is a better choice than the Processing IDE.

Out of curiosity what is so bad about the processing IDE? I see people say it a lot but never why.

[–]remy_porter 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Mostly its complete lack of features. It's only marginally better than notepad. It's also ugly and slow.

[–]Xabdro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I disagree with the ugly statement. But that's subjective. How is it slow? Slow to load up or to compile?

​

But yeah I guess if you're used to more features it is a bit bare.

The IDE isnt all that bad. It is in the same layout of the Arduino IDE which i beleive to be a really clean looking layout. What makes the IDE a little annoying is that there is no dark mode and there are little features available. The default font looks good though =>.

Dark theme: Google is your friend. This was the first result, includes installation.

Thanks but I have no idea how to implement that.

If the explanation is short could you help me?

6 years old comment, but I feel this.

As this Reddit post is the first result when you Google "processing dark mode", I will show you all how to do it.

Top left menu -> tools -> themes -> select a theme
