How to change to basic STM32CubdeIDE view - stm32cubeide

I want to change my editor and I made a big mistake. I installed Darkest Dark theme and after that, my whole STM32CUBeIDE changed, then I deleted it. So view is like eclipse view, but I want to go back to my basic view of STM32CUBEIDE. For example when I click build console doesn't show me anything. I don't even know if project is build or not. I don't want to configure debugger and other things again.

reset the perspective it will be fixed

vscode settings pane is blank

For some reason, my vscode is no longer showing any settings in the UI settings pane. I can still open my settings.json, but even with my settings editor set to "workbench.settings.editor": "ui", I still get this:
I'm on macOS Catalina version 10.15.7 and vscode version 1.52.1
Any ideas on what might be causing this? Should I make a backup of my settings files and then reset the settings to default?
I was having this exact same issue recently, so I was a little disappointed when there were no solutions. I did not have my settings editor set to "workbench.settings.editor": "ui",as you had, so I tried doing that, but after restarting vscode it didn't appear to do anything.
I've been working in the same folder for a while now, so I tried toggling to a different folder to see if somehow that would kickstart vscode into displaying the settings pane. That did not work, but when I toggled back to the folder that I was originally in, the settings pane was now populating with the normal settings for User and Workspace.
A little bit more troubleshooting and it seems like if I have the settings pane already open in the workspace when the workspace loads (either by toggling to a new folder or by restarting vscode), I can see the settings, but if the settings pane is not already open in a workspace and I try to open it, I get a blank page. I also noticed that the settings pane that appears when you load a fresh workspace is stuck on one tab (ie the settings don't change if you toggle between User and Workspace), but if I close and reopen the tab (not the whole workspace), it works as expected. Here's a gif to prove I'm not crazy:
This is me just clicking around to show the behavior I'm describing
I can't embed the picture because of my reputation, but hopefully that shows the behavior I am seeing. I wouldn't be surprised if at the end of the day this is still somehow my fault because of my settings or something, but hopefully this helps someone else.
Small Edit
Just wanted to point out that I acknowledge that this is not an actual solution to the underlying problem, but it's certainly worked well enough for me for now, maybe some one else can chime in with the true solution.

Complete Removal of Eclipse plugin

I use Eclipse Neon under Windows 10.
I installed a plugin (MonjaDB) using Eclipse Market Place. As I didn't find the plugin to be very useful I uninstalled it using Help->About->Installation Details->Installed Software->Uninstall. Sadly, however, this didn't seem to fully remove the plugin.
I now have a small red square on the right hand side of my workspace in the shortcut toolbar. This cannot be removed using the close option. I went so far as to remove my installation of Eclipse and the .eclipse directory in my home area but after a reinstall the square is still there.
Presumably this means that it is somehow associated with the project in my workspace?? Does anyone have any ideas how to remove this annoying square?
EDIT:
I have noticed two things
The MonjaDB perspective is hanging around somehow and
If I press the little red square on the right it opens an empty tab in the tab set to the right (where mylyn sits) with the title of DB Tree but I cannot remove it.
I have added three screen shots
MonjaDb perspective Partly Active
It seems like your current perspective is the one that was uninstalled. Just try opening a new one via the Open Perspective toolbar button that's close to thevred square, and then you can try right-click > Close on the red square.
At least a part of this is intentional...when the implementation class of a view no longer exists we leave the view 'open' but are supposed to show an "Error Part'. The reason to leave it up is to handle cases where a user has installed a new eclipse and opens his old workspace before installing the extensions. If we were to remove the views the user would have to set up their perspectives again once they had installed the extension.
Note that resetting the perspective won't work because the class implementing IPespectiveFactory no longer exists.
Closing the perspective and opening a new, different, one should work. If the perspective you open has visible views that are no longer available you should just close them.

How to remove a "lost" task bar in eclipse

In my eclipse Mars I have two task bars with only red corners as items:
How can I remove this both task bars? I have already disable all checkboxes under "Window" - "Perspective" - "Customize Perspective...". The both toolbars are still there. Also I cannot do a left or right click on these both toolbars ...
EDIT:
Ok, after reinstalling the "JBoss Developer Studio" PlugIn I get (instead of the red corners):
But I still cant remove these toolbars ...
The file where the workbench layout is stored is
<your-workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi
I had something similar happen once and was able to manually edit that file (with some trial-and-error) to get rid of the duplicate, unwanted toolbars. I can't really recommend it, though, as it's a very error-prone process. If you do decide to attempt it, make sure to make backups of the file before you being.
Alternatively, you can try just deleting that file (rename it or move it somewhere else) and see if Eclipse will re-create it automatically.
A better alternative is probably to export your workspace preferences then create a new workspace. You can import your projects and exported preferences into the new one.

How to change toolbar button order in eclipse 4.2?

With the old version, we just needed to drag and drop to change the positions toolbar's button. But with juno, how do we do this?
I don't believe you can re-order them in Eclipse 4.2.
However, you can choose to hide them:
- Window -> Customize Perspective -> Tool Bar Visibility
This is bug 364046, and has supposedly been fixed but is not yet released.
In the meantime, you can reorder the perspective buttons using the Live Application Model View. I am not sure what you need to install to get this view -- Eclipse e4 Tools perhaps?
I didn't see the view in the Show View dialog but it shows up with Ctrl-3.
Once you get the live application model view up, you need to find the Perspectives Stack,
which I found under Windows->Trimmed Window->Controls->PartSashContainer->Perspectives Stack.
Then you can reorder either by dragging/dropping in the tree view, or by the up/down buttons in the editor. I had to restart Eclipse to see the changes.
until the bug is fixed, i've found that one can:
figure out the order of the perspective items you are interested in
close all perspectives (or at least all that are in the wrong order
re-open in the order preferred.
if switching the last 2, just close the 2nd to last one, then re-open it, and it will be the last one.
if you want to move the first one to the last position, close it, then re-open.
if you want to move the last one to the first position, well ... you'll have to close all the others, then re-open them in the order you want.
this might involve less work than pulling in the "live application model view". at the very least, it just worked for me after coming to this question in hopes of seeing a real answer to the problem.

How do I get the old colors and look & feel back in Eclipse 4.2?

I had been using Eclipse 3.x for a few years and while I had a few issues w.r.t. its stability and performance, I never had any particular annoyance with the UI itself...
Now that the new and shiny Eclipse 4.2 is out of the oven, it feels more stable and somewhat snappier, but I instantly felt a dislike for some details of its UI:
I find the "curved" look of the main toolbar distracting and it seems to me that it does not mix well with any other element in my desktop. It could just be a color issue, but the toolbar is prevalent enough to merit a specific mention.
The default colors do not work well with the TFT/TN displays of the laptop and both desktop computers that I am using. The various gradients seem completely washed out, the tab separators are practically invisible and the toolbar curve looks totally weird.
It's also almost impossible to tell which view is active - Eclipse 3.x used a unique blue color for the active tab header. Juno uses a color-reversal in all inactive tabs, which probably sounds more visible, but in my opinion that effect is lost because the active tab is still in a shade of gray which is lost in the overall gray-ness of the new UI...
So, how do I get back to a more reasonable look and feel? Is there somewhere a theming option that would help?
PS.1: I use Eclipse/GTK on Linux...
PS.2: What happened to all the colors in Juno, anyway?
PS.3: Can we keep the new splash screen, though? That one, I like...
Apparently, the Eclipse developers were kind enough to leave us an easy way out:
From the Window menu, select Preferences.
Expand the General category in the Preferences dialog tree.
Click on the Appearance sub-category.
On the left side of the window, a Theme drop-down menu will appear - click on it.
Select Classic in the Theme drop-down menu.
Most important: you need to restart Eclipse after that, even though no hint to that effect appears.
This setting is mentioned in several blog posts, which for some reason I could not find until I started using terms such as "awful" and "ugly" in Google. It seems that I was not the only one to find the new theme unbearable...
There is another way documented here.
This goes a lot further than the switch to classic theme and makes it look like 3.x.
The problem with the Juno L & F is that its great on monitors with 1600x1050. But my work PC has 2 screens that are 1280x1-24. Not so great!
I found a way to make Juno look like Indigo: I know there are new fancy themes around but I'm not willing to spend time on it.
My solution is just to copy the Indigo css_prefs files into Juno directory
.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings
The file you have to look for are
org.eclipse.e4.ui.css.swt.theme.prefs and org.eclipse.wst.css.ui.prefs
If you don't have them you can download from my blog http://www.venturin.net/2013/04/04/eclipse-juno-looks-ugly-in-linux-mint-14-nadia/
To restore traditional style tabs on more recent versions of Eclipse, edit e4_classic_winxp.css and change swt-simple: false; to swt-simple: true; (this assumes you are using the default Classic theme).
