    Code::Blocks

    I was wondering if anyone has some good dark themes for Code::Blocks I searched their site and found nothing and google is useless when searching about Code::Blocks.

    Code:
    [Editor.Custom]
    Assembler=clLime, clNone, 0, 0, 0
    Character=$00FF6633, clNone, 0, 0, 0
    Comment=$00FF6633, clNone, 0, 1, 0
    Float=clFuchsia, clNone, 0, 0, 0
    Hexadecimal=clFuchsia, clNone, 0, 0, 0
    Identifier=clLime, clNone, 0, 0, 0
    Illegal Char=clRed, clMaroon, 0, 0, 0
    Number=clBlue, clNone, 0, 0, 0
    Octal=clFuchsia, clNone, 0, 0, 0
    Preprocessor=clMaroon, clNone, 0, 0, 0
    Reserved Word=clGreen, clNone, 0, 0, 0
    Space=clWhite, clBlack, 0, 0, 0
    String=clFuchsia, clNone, 0, 0, 0
    Symbol=clLime, clNone, 0, 0, 0
    Selected text=16777215, 8388608
    Gutter=65280, 0
    Break points=16777215, 8421504
    Error Line=16777215, 255
    Active Breakpoints=16777215, 16711680
    Was my Dev-C++ theme and I was hoping for something like that... I have experimented a bit but was hoping perhaps someone had a good one... main problem, which I will keep searching around about is that the cursor flashes black to clear instead of the standard black to white so I can't see it on a black background.

    EDIT: Nevermind about the cursor thing... I found it.

    >> Your post is smaller than your sig

    My post is 1008 words.
    And my sig is 22 words.
    So ... what are you talking about?

    I do like the color scheme though. Reminds me of Pascal and Clipper.
    But... I'm too attached to black backgrounds. Couldn't possibly use that.

    I like it, I usually like black background forums, because if you're in the dark it's easy on the eyes. In the light there isn't much of a difference. Mario's is nice because none of the text colors are in high contrast with the background, but they don't conceal themselves within it either. Is there a file that I can import that will quickly edit mine like yours mario?

    Give me three more hours and when I get back to my home computer, I'll attach it here. Code::Blocks or Dev-C++?

    It's in your folder Documents And Settings-><your windows user name>->Application Data->codeblocks.

    It's the default.conf file in there (you are using the nightly builds aren't you?). Open it with an editor, search for the <cc> tag. Replace everything between <cc> and </cc>, inclusive, with the contents of the file attached.

    There's one last thing to do. I always try to use anti-aliased fonts. I find it easier on my eyes. I always avoid high contrast, since I find it very distracting. You need to change the font of your editor in the Settings menu->Editor, if you like the font above. It's one of my monospaced favorites. Bitstream Vera Sans Mono.

    I believe you have it installed already. If not, you can find it easily on the web.

    Enjoy

    I do like it more than the previous one Wraithan. It's surprising the operators dark blue doesn't get concealed too much by the background.
