v20.0.0_2.png

Hello,
It's been two years since version 1.14.1 (everything was fine there) – is it really that hard to remove these white scrollbars? It's impossible to use STM32CubeIDE...

Hello @bobval @JensH @A.D. 

At present, STM32CubeIDE 2.0.0 is built on Eclipse Platform version 4.33.0.v20240903-0618 

The migration to a newer Eclipse version within STM32CubeIDE is planned for next year.

Hello @bobval 

I tested this behavior using STM32CubeIDE 2.0.0 and did not encounter any white scrollbars.

Could you please let me know which operating system you are using?

Hello @bobval 

I performed the test on a Windows 11 machine and did not encounter this issue, which suggests that the problem may be specific to your environment.

Let's try the following steps to troubleshoot:

1- Go to Settings > Personalization > Colors
2- Set "Choose your default app mode" to Dark.

For those were darkmode currently works correctly:

Go to `Preferences -> General -> Appearance`. There, set `Color and font theme` to something different than the default and change it back. Do you still not have these big white scroll bars? For me they appeared after I changed some settings in the appearance dialog.

Hi @Ghofrane GSOURI ,

I'm really sorry but I have the same problem with STM32CubeIDE2.0 and Windows 11 Pro 25H2. I have light grey scrollbars and can't even reproduce the dark ones.

My Windows color mode is dark, the IDE "Theme" is dark and the "Color and font theme" is Default (current). I have generated a new workspace with the IDE2.0 for testing and no addons are installed.

I have exported the settings that don't work.

 

Best regards,

Jens

Do you really have to wait until next year to find and replace two bytes from 0x00 to 0xFF in your own IDE?

 

Okay, thanks for the answer.
