Colors For SAP Web IDE!

Colors For SAP Web IDE!

Posted on January 11, 2018

Dude, where's my color scheme?!

At some point, SAP took away my Monokai Color scheme from the SAPUI5 Web IDE! That is unforgivable...

Like I said, unforgivable.

Don't worry - code to the rescue!

I wrote a small tampermonkey script that address this issue, and you can get your monokai colors back! (See Ace's GitHub for all possible themes.)

What's this trickery?!?! Is that MONOKAI for SAP Web IDE?! What's this trickery?!?! Is that the MONOKAI color scheme for SAP Web IDE?!

This obviously requires that you have tampermonkey installed for your browser - check out the tampermonkey website on how to install it.

Once you've installed tampermonkey, just copy in and paste the script from below (or the GitHub page) and all you should need to change is the [YOUR_USER_NAME_HERE] value in the @match variable. This username is your SAP 's' username, an 's' followed by 10 numbers, i.e. S0123456789.

TL;DR: Gimme Code!

The full code (as of January 11, 2018) is as follows:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Monokai Web IDE colors
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      1.0
// @description  Changes the Ace Shell CSS in SAP Web IDE from any defaults to Monokai.
// @author       Chris Frewin
// @match        https://webide-[YOUR_USER_NAME_HERE]trial.dispatcher.hanatrial.ondemand.com
// @grant        GM_getResourceText
// @grant        GM_addStyle
// @resource     customCSS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ajaxorg/ace/master/lib/ace/theme/monokai.css
// @require      http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highlight.js/9.6.0/highlight.min.js
// @require      http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js
// ==/UserScript==

// *** NOTE: feel free to replace the 'customCSS' link above with any of the following ace themes found here: (make sure to select the raw version!)
// https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace/tree/master/lib/ace/theme

window.setTimeout(function() {
    var newCSS = GM_getResourceText ("customCSS"); // monokai css for ace editor
    GM_addStyle (newCSS);
    console.log("added css...");
    var editor = $("#__editor0"); // select editor ID
    $(editor).removeClass(); // remove any of the default classes
    console.log("removed default css...");
    $(editor).addClass("ace_editor"); // add back in original class
    $(editor).addClass("ace-monokai"); // monokai colors class!
    console.log("added ace-monokai css...");
},20000);

I would recommend you check out the newest version on GitHub: https://github.com/frewinchristopher/sapwebidecolors
