Detailed Description

Color theme definition used for highlighting.

Introduction

The Theme provides a full color theme for painting the highlighted text. One Theme is defined either as a *.theme file on disk, or as a file compiled into the SyntaxHighlighting library by using Qt's resource system. Each Theme has a unique name(), including a translatedName() if put into the UI. Themes shipped by default are typically read-only, see isReadOnly().

A Theme defines two sets of colors:

  • Text colors, including foreground and background colors, colors for selected text, and properties such as bold and italic. These colors are used e.g. by the SyntaxHighlighter.
  • Editor colors, including a background color for the entire editor widget, the line number color, code folding colors, etc.

Text Colors and the Class Format

The text colors are used for syntax highlighting. // TODO: elaborate more and explain relation to Format class

Editor Colors

If you want to use the SyntaxHighlighting framework to write your own text editor, you also need to paint the background of the editing widget. In addition, the editor may support showing line numbers, a folding bar, a highlight for the current text line, and similar features. All these colors are defined in terms of the "editor colors" and accessible by calling editorColor() with the desired enum EditorColorRole.

Accessing a Theme

All available Themes are accessed through the Repository. These themes are typically valid themes. If you create a Theme on your own, isValid() will return false, and all colors provided by this Theme are in fact invalid and therefore unusable.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Theme() [1/2]

Theme::Theme ( )

Default constructor, creating an invalid Theme, see isValid().

Definition at line 21 of file theme.cpp.

◆ Theme() [2/2]

Theme::Theme ( const Theme & copy)
default

Copy constructor, sharing the Theme data with copy.

◆ ~Theme()

Theme::~Theme ( )
default

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ backgroundColor()

QRgb Theme::backgroundColor ( TextStyle style) const

Returns the background color to be used for style.

0 is returned for styles that do not specify a background color, use the default background color in that case.

Definition at line 72 of file theme.cpp.

◆ editorColor()

QRgb Theme::editorColor ( EditorColorRole role) const

Returns the editor color for the requested role.

Definition at line 102 of file theme.cpp.

◆ filePath()

QString Theme::filePath ( ) const

Returns the full path and file name to this Theme.

Themes from the Qt resource return the Qt resource path. Themes from disk return the local path.

If the theme is invalid (isValid()), an empty string is returned.
