I'm using MySQL Workbench on Mac to write queries and I can't find a way to change the GUI theme. It looks from the online resources that are available like users can usually fix this by going to Preferences and going to Preferences and selecting "Fonts & Colours". This is what it usually looks like, apparently:
Preferences page according to online resources
However, when I go to my preferences, this section just appears as "Fonts" and no option to change theme is provided:
Preferences page on Mac
Is this because I'm on Mac? And is there another way to change to a darker theme? I've been able to last for a while but the white is murder on my eyes.
Thanks in advance for any input!
I was trying to remove dark mode from MySQL Workbench version 8.0.15 and the following command in the Terminal did the trick (Running MacOS Mojave 10.14.5):
defaults write com.oracle.workbench.MySQLWorkbench NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool yes
You can try changing the bool condition to 'no' to go back to dark mode.
I referenced this thread : https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=92902 and the comment from Jonas Trollvik.
The theme settings in MySQL Workbench are for Windows only, hence this setting is not visible in OSX or Linux. The dark theme in OSX is rather new and doesn't usually affect applications, so there is no meaning in adding support for that in MySQL Workbench. Of course the menu bar is still dark, also when WB is the active application (if set to that).
The other color settings (like those you can change via the xml or any other you see in the preferences) are used to change syntax highlighting colors and modeling colors.
you can go to system preferences
In General>appearance > Light
It will reflect
Seems the dark theme has now been considered for the latest version, 8.0.13, but think i'll be rolling back as the it's terrible.

In this tutorial you can see how to extract the VHD image file of the Windows XP contained in the "Windows XP Mode".
The tutorial also explains how to run it on VirtualBox and it works nicely (no special parameter, you just add the disk).
But I want to run it on QEmu and there I get a blue screen.
This is the command I'm using:
qemu-system-i386 -m 1G --enable-kvm -drive file=VirtualXP.vhd
I tried to convert the image to qcow2, raw, ... same issue.
I tried x86_64... same issue.
I tried without --enable-kvm... same issue but the blue screen is covered partly by a black rectangle.
After the blue screen it restarts and allows me to choose safe mode. But all options give this identical blue screen.
When I boot the image with VirtualBox I noticed that the VM has already a driver installed to allow the use of the host's mouse cursor. I suspect that this image has VM guest drivers installed that are not compatible with QEmu and maybe make it crashes.
Important note: I don't have a Windows XP CD-ROM to help me.
Here is a screen shot of the blue screen (I suppose it will be the exact same error on all machines):
This might have to do with the drivers windows expects, there are various results using search engines to fix/repair this issue I found but they mostly boil down to:
Install standard IDE drivers
Registery edit to add these IDE drivers
If BSOD 0xCE
Remove Intelppm driver
Edit registery to reflect the removal of this CPU driver
I like the idea of a Windows XP image converted to another, for qemu. And it sounded awesome if this was a legal way. And I now know how they solved this. There is a 30 days trail period and after this, our downloaded image will nolonger boot. (unless you redo all your steps on a fresh copy that never has been started).
Sources to help you (and I ) anyway: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/troubleshoot-inaccessible-boot-device
wich was to me very cryptic and what to do?
But it was also reverenced by the following more helpfull article, and i was almost capable of making a bootable harddisk image for qemu because of this: http://0x0badc0de.blogspot.com/2013/05/converting-windows-virtual-machine-from.html
But after some hours back and forth, I wasnt fully successful and even the author mentions the 30day trial. legal, maybe, but still troublesome.
There is however a key included and if you where to acquire a XP install disk, maybe able to obtain a successful install of windows XP with the same 30 days trial. Hope this answer helps you or any traveler to decide their own story.
I am trying to install the Oracle MySQL Server and Workbench on a server computer running Windows 2008. For some reason I just can't install it - can someone give there opinion on the problem - I am uploading pictures of the installation process.
I downloaded the 32 15.8M version
Agreed
Here is where the first problem appears. The only two options I can actually choose are Default and Custom . i chose Custom because the only thing I can install is MySQL for Excel..
Custom
...
...
And at the end there is nothing installed
After choosing the setup type and product features, Do you get a chance to see the attached screen? with all components downloaded? installation image
If you could see that and click on execute the product must be installed.
-Don't forget to check if
*your account has Admin privileges to install.
*The machine in which you are trying to install has access to internet via installers
-If you still face the problem i would suggest you to download the file of size 230MB and try installation with that.
I would like to install different MySQL versions on Windows. I have a MySQL 5.5 running, and I want to install a MySQL 5.7 to debug compatibility issues of a program I am working on. Both installations should stay side at a side, may have their own databases (it’s OK to start with an empty 5.7) and I am happy to run or stop the one or other from the Services control panel manually. The nowadays MySQL installer - community wants to upgrade my existing installation and, unlike explained in this article, does not offer another option to install the versions side to side. All I found was a rant confirming my problem, but no real solution. If it requires me to install it manually, I need detailed instructions. In my case, default setup (default port) is sufficient, because I don’t need to run both instances the same time.
This is not so obvious but using the "MySQL installer", you need to run it, then click on "Cancel" and a new window will appear, letting you install new elements. You can then select the version(s) of MySQL that you want to add to your system.
You don't need it but if people want to run several instances at the same time, they need to choose a different port for each installation.
Why not simply use a virtual machines to install your different MySQL version ?
Like that you will be sure to have no compatibilty issues between them and you can start/stop vms as you like.
Otherwise, I did find that : https://www.codementor.io/arpitbhayani/setup-multiple-mysql-servers-with-different-versions-docker-du107solq but can't confirm it's working.
Use Dockerized mysql and you can run as many mysql versions you want on different ports.
I open Workbench normally, then I make some queries and then I click on save icon.
After clicking the save icon, the platform stop working.
I'm using workbench 6.2.4 on windows 8.1.
SOLUTION
It seems the new version 6.3.3.0 fixed the problem.
I found the solution in the following URL:
https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=75015
So, I had to install and old version of mysql workbench (6.1.7).
Hope they can fix the problem in future versions.
I have tried removing it from the extensions section in Chrome settings, but it reappears every time I reopen Chrome. My computer runs on Windows 7 Ultimate
As you haven't specified, I assume, you are using Windows OS. It is a potential malware. You have to uninstall the program explicitly from control panel and then restart chrome. It should work. If it doesn't work, then you might have to scan your system by some good anti-virus like kaspersky or avast.
You should download Microsoft Security Essentials (or another similar anti-virus program) I've used MSE in the past and it works well (without noticeably slowing down your system) there are no up-sells with it either (like you'll get w McAfee or Norton antivirus).
Just go to Google, search Microsoft Security Essentials. Then download and install the latest version (for Windows 7 32-bit)
It's free and should get rid of this program (looks like Malware to me).
