Supercollider IDE completely gray

Development
1

Hi, my SC ide is completely gray in color. I can’t use it at all, and can’t see anything in the preferences. I’m running 3.12.2 because apparently this version works with the VSTPlugin extension. I’m running a macbook pro with Monterey 12.3.

Please help, thanks

I can run VSTPlugins in SC 3.13, OSX Ventura 13.6.4 for what it is worth. Unfortunately I have no suggestions to solve your problem other than try SC 3.13. What is your mac model?

Not sure if this will fix it but you might try clearing the ide config file:

  1. Quit IDE.
  2. Since display is unclear in the IDE, open terminal.
  3. Run sclang.
  4. At the sclang prompt, run Platform.userConfigDir.openOS.
  5. Rename “sc_ide_conf.yaml” to anything else, like “sc_ide_conf.yaml.bak”.
  6. Quit the command line sclang by running 0.exit.

Then try IDE again.

I hope this will revert to the default white background color scheme.

Thanks, I couldn’t get it working as it said there was an API version mismatch. Any suggestions? I used the universal binaries that came from the plugin site. It would be nice not to have to run an old version of SC. My mac is a 13 inch 2020 MacBook Pro running Monterey v12.3. 2GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5. No M1 chip or anything

Nice one! This seems to have worked, and I could even rename that file back to its original file name. Thank you :slight_smile:
