Editor Colour Schemes
-
I was wondering whether some of you uses a specialized colour scheme for coding (f.ex. in Visual Studio). I personally feel that the white background can be tiring for the eyes, so I was wondering if you have any good suggestions? (At the moment I'm trying out yellow text on deep blue background.) Or maybe I'm just crazy ;)
I've always been sensitive to that. A white background is like someone shouting at you in all caps for 12 hours. I set not only my editor, but Windows in general to black text on a light grey (RGB(210, 210, 210)) background and find it much easier on the eyes.

I use RGB(238, 248, 238) as the window color in Windows, so all my editors and stuff have that color, much easier on the eyes than white. VS color scheme: I change strings to dark blue and numbers to red, all the rest is default... - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

Hmm...wonder if that's why I get so many eyestrain headaches. I'm very slightly astigmatic (trumped by my extreme nearsight - -8.0 on the Diopter scale), and I use light backgrounds in everything. *hmm*

I change the comment color to red, so it stands out more. The more my code bleeds, the better documented it is! :-D Marc Microsoft MVP, Visual C# MyXaml MyXaml Blog

I'm suprised that nobody has done blue and red on a light orange background. :)

All windows use Fixedsys 9 font. Editor colors : Black text on light gray background. Selection margin is also light gray. Keywords are dark blue. Comments are dark grey - so they don't stand out. Numbers and strings (constants) are dark red. Operators are dark green. User defined keywords are light blue. Assembly is dark purple. I've gotten so used to it i can't stand looking at code with any other color scheme. ...cmk Save the whales - collect the whole set
