App Designer Theme
If you used IDEs like Eclipse, Aptana and Notepad++ – they all allow you you to install your own themes, customize color, layout , fonts etc.
I recently read an article in ITWorld | 13 fonts to make a programmer smile. And it inspired me to go ahead and play with App Designer to see if I can make it more fun to write and look at code for myself. In the end of the day – that is where I spent most of my time during the day.
I wanted to share my experience here – I hope this will brighten your day and make you smile. Here are the steps I used:
- Download the font – in my case I chose Monaco
- Install the fonts, by unzipping them, double-click and Install
- And finally open App Designer, open any PeopleCode code definition and git’ to it:

-
- Font Style
-
- Number Style
-
- Comments Style
-
- Quoted String Style
-
- Keyword Style
-
- Class Definition Style
-
- Built-In Operators

Where do you set the font in App Designer? I’m not seeing an option under Tools-Settings.
Eric,
did not see your comment right away – it went to Spam for some reason. You need to open any PeopleCode first, and then you will see the option under Edit Menu.
Let me know if this helps
