Syntax colouring schemes
-
Just wondering what colour schemes you use for syntax colouring? The current articles on CodeProject use an old scheme (VC6 standard? Not sure) but my latest colour scheme is the same as last weeks CodeProject VS.NET package ad (Clickety). I'm also using a light grey background instead of pure white because it seems a little easier on the eyes. What's everyone else using? I feel the need for a change... cheers, Chris Maunder
Code is black, comments are dark blue. I find all the keyword coloring, etc. to be extremely distracting when I'm trying to read code. The only thing I want visually separated is the comments from the code. And before you start with the black and blue jokes...

// comment
string = "text";
BTW, I really like the enhanced syntax coloring by Visual Assist (Still waiting for our purchase department to order it :| ) Edited: I've modifed the scheme's background, so it looks as in my DevStudio Regards Thomas Sonork id: 100.10453 Thömmi

Thank you.Yep - used Visual Assist all the time while working with VS6. Going from that to VS.NET without the enhanced colouring (at that time Visual Assist for .NET wasn't cooked yet) was weird - like viewing everything in black and white cheers, Chris Maunder

Mine's the VC6 default, but I have a light grey background (actually it has a hint of blue) which is the set as the window background colour in Windows, as I found the default white background to be harsh too -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

Though I've left the normal background white, I changed it for comments only to bright orange, just as the collapsed posting headers in the CP fora. So I can distinguish between code and comments easily. Regards Thomas Sonork id: 100.10453 Thömmi

I use green for comments and for string it depends: red, light-red or dark blue. I hate the scheme with green string and brown comments. Best regards, Alexandru Savescu

Oh, are the comments red now? WOOHOO. Finally I benefit from being red-green color blind. Cheers, Simon "Sign up for a chance to be among the first to experience the wrath of the gods.", Microsoft's home page (24/06/2002)
LOL I know how you feel ;p Cheers, Peter Pearson

I'm old fashioned I guess. Green comments and blue keywords. The rest is black unless I'm on a unix terminal outside of X where the rest is white.
