Oracle SQL Developer

Installation

Unfortunately Oracle doesn't make it easy to import a new colour scheme into SQL Developer, thus a little bit of hacking is required.

  • Close SQL Developer. This is important. If you modify the scheme file while SQL Developer is open, your changes won't be saved.

  • Locate file dtcache.xml in the SQL Developer's settings directory.

Windows:

%APPDATA%\SQL Developer\systemn.n.n.n.n.n\o.ide.n.n.n.n.n.n.n

Example:

C:\Users\dracula\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\system3.2.20.09.87\o.ide.11.1.1.4.37.59.48

Linux or Mac OS X:

~/.sqldeveloper/systemn.n.n.n.n.n/o.ide.n.n.n.n.n.n.n

Example:

~/.sqldeveloper/system19.1.0.094.2042/o.ide.13.0.0.1.42.170225.201

  • Locate <schemeMap> tag inside dtcache.xml file. Insert the content of the color scheme file Dracula.xml inside <schemeMap> alongside the other colour schemes. Be careful not to break the XML.

Insert the contents of color scheme xml file after opening schemeMap tag

  • Launch SQL Developer. Navigate to menu Tools->Preferences, then select item Code Editor -> PL/SQL Syntax Colors in the left pane.

  • Select theme in the "Scheme" drop down list on the top.
