texmaker
I am beginning in TexMaker and I want to change into the dark mod (direct request of my eyes).
In the configurations, I clicked on the dark theme button but nothing changed, even by restarting the program. Any indication guys ?
Moreover I tried to change the .init file, but after a restart, the file turned like it was before.
Thanks a lot for your help !
Click on tl-tray-menu as shown in Portable Texlive.
Note: You should have wine installed and configured.
For the sake of this discussion, assume that your TeXLive folder is named TeXLive2012.
If the following is your USB file configuration:
USB folder
|______texmakerwin32usb
|______TeXLive2012
then fire up your portable TeXMaker by clicking on texmaker.exe inside the texmakerwin32usb folder and then set up the drivers by clicking:
Options > Configure Texmaker > Commands
Use the built-in viewer of Texmaker. Alternatively, you can download a portable PDF viewer of your liking and save to your USB. Then in PDF Viewer, click on the folder icon to browse to the location of the portable PDF viewer in your USB. For PS, see how to install ghostscript in the answers in Configuring portable TeXstudio to use MiKTeX portable
For each driver, click on the folder icons in the Commands configuration and browse to the location of the corresponding driver in the TeXLive2012 bin folder.
You should get something like this.
LaTeX > "../TeXLive2012/bin/latex" -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex
PdfLaTeX > "../TeXLive2012/bin/pdflatex" -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex
Latexmk > "../TeXLive2012/bin/latexmk" -e "$pdflatex=q/pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode/" -pdf %.tex
Bib(la)tex > "../TeXLive2012/bin/biber" %
Makeindex > "../TeXLive2012/bin/makeindex" %.idx
dvips > "../TeXLive2012/bin/dvips" -o %.ps %.dvi
Dvipdfm > "../TeXLive2012/bin/dvipdfm" %.dvi
ps2pdf > "../TeXLive2012/bin/ps2pdf" %.ps
metapost > "../TeXLive2012/bin/mpost" --interaction nonstopmode
It's easiest to just download the .iso file and mount it.
Create TeXLive2012 in your USB root folder.
cd to the mounted directory. Usually
cd /media/username/TeXLive2012
You can replace username by your actual username.
Type and enter
perl install-tl -portable
Choose the directory by typing D then write the location of your USB:
/media/username/usbname/TeXLive2012
then hit Enter. You can specify every directory this way if you like. But since USB's are slow drives, you can choose to install it on a writable folder, say in your desktop then copy and paste the folder into your USB. I find it faster this way.
For Texmaker, simply unzip the folder to your root USB folder.
After doing this, you should have the file structure we have above.
Since version 3 there is a built-in dark mode. You can enable it by opening the settings (Options → Configure TeXstudio...) and selecting Adwaita Dark (txs) as the Style in the General tab.
You will have to click OK for the setting to take effect.

If R. Schumacher's comment didn't help out and your Texmaker is still not in the dark theme, you can just fill in the colours yourself, because (as far as I can tell) the dark theme button just changes the hexadecimal values. I'll list them here for you:
Hope this helps, because I can't really work with a white background myself for a long time so I know the pain!
