Appearance
These options control the general appearance of Simply Fortran, including the editor colors and font, and certain aspects of the user interface.
Colors
The colors utilized by the editor can be modified by the user. A drop-down box specifies which color component to change, and the Select… button opens a selection dialog. Because Simply Fortran features syntax highlighting, the user can configure keywords, comments, and variables to stand out from each other. The Background and Default Text color will also be used for the general interface colors throughout the Simply Fortran interface.
The default light and dark theme buttons will set the editor colors to sensible light and dark colors respectively.
Under the colors drop-down, an Import Theme… button allows the user to select and import Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio 2010-2013 color themes.
Font
The font selection dropdown and the associated size text box allows the user to adjust the font used in editor tabs within Simply Fortran. The font size may also be increased in real-time within the editor by holding the Control key while moving the mouse’s scroll wheel.
Font sizes for user interface elements are changed in the Left Panel or Tab Behavior screens.
Menu Mode
The menu mode option allows the user to switch between themed, custom menus to match the overall Simply Fortran theme and system menus that rely on Windows for management and drawing.
Toolbar Button Size
The toolbar button size option can change the size of toolbar buttons throughout Simply Fortran. The image size in the main toolbar at the top of the window along with the left panel buttons will change immediately.
Rounded Buttons
Enabling rounded buttons will cause some buttons in Simply Fortran to appear slightly rounded, which is the default on Windows 11. When this setting is changed, Simply Fortran must be restarted to take effect. Generally, Simply Fortran will choose the best default based on the current operating system version.
