Your Code Editor Themes
-
Dark themes are easier on my eyes. Otherwise I just use the defaults because I don't have time to fiddle with things that don't affect my code.

I have to increse the font sizes - better than having everything scaled 150% (which I have to do anyway).

Vi doesn't support themes, you insensitive clod! </slasdot-mode>

I can't go too big on screens or my neck vertebrae will punish me for it. You have to understand that I am held together by duct tape, spit and a prayer - and I'm atheist.

What is your favorite code editor theme? Could you share a screenshot? When I used the "CodeMirror" web-based editor, I chose the "midnight"[^] theme. The options are limitless. You can view dozens of unique code editor themes, here: CodeMirror: Theme Demo[^] I'm building a web-based code editor for Project Chromosphere.com. I've got it up and running, but I've only configured a few things. I chose to go with a dark theme, because that's what I'm used to. I set the parameters for syntax highlighting and it looks OK, but I need to play around with it a bit more. My code editor is online for testing. Take a look at it and share your opinion. Do you like the theme? What would you change? Web-based JavaScript Code Editor[^]

I was wondering about that, too. When you take a look at other web-based code editors online, their font sizes are somewhat small by default. When using Visual Studio, I set the zoom/font-size to between 110%, and 150%. It depends a lot on how tired my eyes get. One of the best things I've ever done was to buy reading glasses. They only cost $15 or so at the supermarket. I get the lowest strength magnification, which is either 1.0, or 1.25. You don't realize how much difference they make until you try them. In terms of default font-size, I most often use 11 point font. Back in college, I took several typography-related classes. I learned that 11pt Helvetica font is the easiest for most people to read. For code editors, I prefer to go with Monospace. Sans-serif fonts are what I prefer because I find them to be more readable.

I can definately relate to that. I've found that the absolute best way to address neck/back problems is by taking physical therapy for a few months. Before I took physical therapy, my lower neck was in awful shape. My physical therapist performed some spinal adjustments during one of my sessions. For years, I had a sharp nagging pain in my lower cervical vertebrae. After he adjusted my spine, the pain disappeared and I haven't had any of that pain since.

Duct tape works for everything :laugh:

I haven't heard of Panda Syntax before. I googled it and found some examples. I like what I see, but the commented text needs to be brighter. I made the commented text in my editor display as green. I figure that if you're going to document your code, it might as well be easy to read.

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

The ambient light is now brighter than before. I was talking to one of the youngsters, and he suggested I try a dark theme. It works! I have less eye fatigue at the end of the day. My 'floaters' are a lot less noticeable with a dark background as well.
