Using an External Editor

This topic is covered in the Usage documentation and you can find the instructions there.

Dark Theme

By default, CQ-editor starts with a light UI theme. This can be changed in Edit->Preferences->General. There the Light/Dark Theme control can be toggled between Light and Dark. This will not change the background color of the Editor or 3D Viewer controls. To change those you will use the following settings.

• Editor - Edit->Preferences->Code Editor and then click on Color scheme. Monokai seems to work well with the dark theme.
• 3D Viewer - Edit->Preferences->3D Viewer and then click on Background color. A dark gray seems to work best as edges are already rendered in black and can blend in with a completely black background.
