Choose the syntax highlighting style

Syntax highlighting is provided by the Pygments library when available, just make sure to install it for the correct version of Python. To customize the syntax highlighting style change the dashboard -style syntax_highlighting attribute.

The list of all the available styles can be obtained with the following GDB commands:

python
from pygments.styles import *
for style in get_all_styles():
    print(style)
end

To cycle through and try each available style use the following GDB commands:

python
from pygments.styles import *
for style in get_all_styles():
    command = 'dashboard -style syntax_highlighting {!r}'.format(style)
    gdb.execute(command)
    print(command)
    if input('Use this style? (y/N) ') == 'y':
        break
end

Finally to disable the syntax highlighting pass ''.
