Meta: This is also a testament to how learning is often incidental. Like I read the comments on this thread and go to another thread for far manager and bam screenshots link on the top right corner.

I don't usually look for screenshots as the first thing to look for when I go to a website at least not consciously so I appreciate your comment.

you get what you pay for? the gripe with the ux is more a wxWidgets issue than a CodeLite issue. IMHO. It does what it claims it does. It doesn't waste cycles on making things pretty, but rather making things functional. Granted, I do wish devs would take some extra time on ux and colors, in this case though - it's out of scope.

However, I do see they support some VSCode themes so maybe in the future the UI could get some love. If you're used to vim and/or unix c/c++ development, you probably don't care - target audience of CodeLite.
