How to change texmaker's theme?

Question

I downloaded texmaker and I would like to change the theme, because it hurt my eyes. From a previous question I found this theme:

The problem is that the question you refer to is intended for TeXstudio http://texstudio.sourceforge.net/, not for TeXmaker. TeXstudio is a fork of TeXmaker which offers some extra functionality, but in essence is very similar to TeXmaker. If you want to change the theme easily according to the referred question, install TeXstudio and the proposed solutions will work for you.

Opinion based: I switched from TeXmaker to TeXstudio and I find it more functional and more customizable.

I don't know how to change to that particular theme, but an easy option is the following:

Options > Configure Texmaker > Editor

In the "Colors" section you can click on dark theme.

If the standard one doesn't suit you, you can also customize it.

A easy way to access your .ini file options>manage settings file>save a copy

This creates a file and allows you to save it anywhere you like. You can then manipulate this file use this page as reference copying and pasting which is what I did.

From there options>manage settings file>replace settings file by new one(one that you manipulated)

Hope this helps!

There is a configuration file for TeXmaker called 'texmaker.ini'. It can be found in the installation directory of your TeXmaker. I do not know if you could simply add the settings above, but maybe you'll find the corresponding settings in the existing file.
