Any way to force light mode?

[Cookiehead]

I know most people do want dark mode, but personally I like my code editors in light mode.

However, when the system theme is dark, Code::Blocks is also dark and I found no setting to make it light unless I change the system theme to light. Using Arch Linux.

Anyone know?

Not as a whole. But you can change colours manually. See settings|environment|colours and settings|editor|syntax highlighting.
The latter is language wise and can be saved as a named colour theme.

I use gnome with the default theme which is dark. My Code::Blocks has a bright theme like it always had without changing anything. That is: white background in editor, logs and other open views. On the Ubuntu machines and RaspberryOS I also use it is the same.
