I have a situation where the colors in the Projucer text editor are changing. Anecdotally I think it happens after I pull from my repository after the .jucer file has changed. But, I’ve not been able to manually choose steps that make it happen, so that may be a red herring. Mind you I don’t actually use the editor, but I thought I should report it. I am running Win7, and JUCE 5.1.1.
FOUND IT! Bringing up any of the dialogs from the File menu (About Projucer, Application Usage Data, or Global Search Paths) causes the text editor colors change. But, this doesn’t happen if I first bring up one of the dialogs from the Tools menu, and then open one of the dialogs from the File menu. So, the easiest recipe is launch Projucer and open one of the dialogs from the File menu.
Did you check whether the Projucer opening on double click is the same you open manually? You can check this using Windows task manager (Details tab, right-click and something like “Open Location”).
It might be that the linked projucer is an older version that doesn’t read the stored settings correctly.
After some debugging the problem seems to be that when loading a .jucer file as command line parameter the colour scheme from CPlusPlusCodeTokeniser is used instead of the one that ProJucer has defined as dark or light colour scheme.
I tried a bit to find out at which point this goes wrong but as the colours are stroed within a settings ValueTrue which is being changed all over the place I wasn’t able to get far.
