How do I reset code color scheme to default in Dreamweaver CS5 (Windows)?

Question

I have read this post, but the process is not clear, I don't find the CodeColoring folder.

So, how to reset code color scheme to default in Dreamweaver CS5 (Windows)?

Answer 1

The original folder referred to in that link is located at:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\configuration (64 bit OS) or C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\configuration (32 bit OS)

Copy the "CodeColoring" folder there and paste it here:

C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS5\en_US\Configuration

That will reset DW to default code coloring. Alternately you can rename the User Configuration folder to Configuration.old and DW will rebuild it on next launch and reset all preferences to default...

Answer 2

I created a Dreamweaver color theme editor, you can use it to restore the default theme, or create your own theme starting with the default theme or a dark theme I made that's designed to make it easy to transition to a dark theme.

You can edit 18 different colors, and then you can download an xml file that replaces the current one. It takes care of all the redundant color settings. It also has instructions for how to install the theme. Super easy.

Answer 3

I found a way to get Dreamweaver CC to colorize Coldfusion Coding:

c:\system...
user...
attuid file...
AppDate...
Roaming...
Adobe...
Dreamweaver CS5.5 or Dreamweaver CS6...
en_US...
Configuration...
ColorCoding...
Color.xml...
open in text editor...
Copy this block...
colorGroup doctypes="ColdFusion"..../colorGroup doctypes="ColdFusion"
and
colorGroup doctypes="CSS" .... /colorGroup doctypes="CSS"

Paste to

c:\system...
user...
attuid file...
AppDate...
Roaming...
Adobe...
Dreamweaver CC 2014...
en_US...
Configuration...
ColorCoding...
Color.xml...

we will have to maintain colorizing coldfusion code tags in Dreamweaver CS5.5 or CS6 and copy/paste the code blocks up into CC 2014
