Bloodshed Dev-c++ Change Color
I searched a lot but there seems to be no way to have additional color schemes in Dev C++. The existing ones are way too bland. Also, I am no good at colors, yet, it feels as if I don't have the control to choose enough colors in the Editor Options. Is there a workaround? Can anyone port '>this?
Certainly some may say this is a lot of fuss over nothing. But, I believe its really important.
Select one of the color themes in the list. Observe that while the 'Foreground' color-fields have changed, most of the 'Background' color-fields have not changed (except for 'Space' always). (However, all colors are reflected correctly in the preview box; and all new-colors take correctly after Ok is hit. To display them correctly you need to change the default Dev C codepage to windows-936 (Chinese simplified) or windows-950 (Chinese traditional). This is the codepage for the file which is independent of the system setting. If that doesn't work try the unicode setting UTF-8.

Bloodshed Dev C++ 5.11

Bloodshed Dev C++ Windows 10
No one has an answer? Or is it that Dev C++ does not have such features. /save-shsh-blobs-3u-tools.html. Tell me about a good editor (if not an IDE) which is good features and additional color scheme adding capability.
C++ Compiler Bloodshed
Originally released by Bloodshed Software, but abandoned in 2006, it has recently been forked by Orwell, including a choice of more recent compilers. It can be downloaded from:
http://orwelldevcpp.blogspot.comInstallation
Run the downloaded executable file, and follow its instructions. The default options are fine.Support for C++11
By default, support for the most recent version of C++ is not enabled. It shall be explicitly enabled by going to:Tools -> Compiler OptionsHere, select the 'Settings' tab, and within it, the 'Code Generation' tab. There, in 'Language standard (-std)' select 'ISO C++ 11':
Ok that. You are now ready to compile C++11!
Compiling console applications
To compile and run simple console applications such as those used as examples in these tutorials it is enough with opening the file with Dev-C++ and hitF11.As an example, try:
File -> New -> Source File (or Ctrl+N)There, write the following:
Then:
File -> Save As.. (or Ctrl+Alt+S)And save it with some file name with a
.cpp extension, such as example.cpp.Now, hitting
F11 should compile and run the program.If you get an error on the type of
x, the compiler does not understand the new meaning given to auto since C++11. Please, make sure you downloaded the latest version as linked above, and that you enabled the compiler options to compile C++11 as described above.
