KevinM1 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I figured it would be fun to see what themes everyone uses with their favorite IDE(s)/editor(s). Maybe it will inspire people to try a new one, or make their own, or whatever. For PhpStorm, I use Friends of Symfony: http://phpstorm-themes.com/theme/friends-of-symfony/ For Visual Studio, I use Dark Bliss: http://studiostyl.es/schemes/dark-bliss Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/265485-what-ideeditor-themes-do-you-use/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikachu2000 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I just manually set my crappy old version of Zend up with some colors that I liked . . .

xyph Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 ... default. I keep my second monitor at a much lower brightness, and I prefer a brighter work environment so the contrast of black/white doesn't bug me much. Sometimes I change the font? I've never liked the light-on-dark themes, but I'm sure they're much easier on the eyes. I should probably force myself to get used to them just for health reasons... the Dark Bliss looks very nice.

KevinM1 Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 Even in well-lit rooms, I've felt a bit of eye strain recently with light/white backgrounds, so I've been changing everything I can to the reverse.

Straight white on black hurts my brain way more than black on white, but when the contrast is lowered, this changes quite a bit. I did a little more reading (slow day here) and it seems there's a lack of study for prolonged exposure. Most of what I've read comes to this rough agreement: Bright room - dark on light better. Dark room - light on dark better. I've always preferred a bright working environment, so it probably explains why I've never bothered with the dark schemes. IMO, it's pretty much poh-tay-toh-puh-tat-oh. If one's causing strain, try the other one. Kevin - I think you need to lose the sunglasses when you're outside.

kicken Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I just use Edit+ and afaik it doesn't really have theme's per-say. You can go in and change the colors but I don't. I used to be a fan of the reverse setups with a dark background and light text but for the last 5 years or so I've just kept it default with a white background. It doesn't seem to bother me anymore like it used it. Maybe because I tend to work in more well light rooms now than when I was a kid, I dunno. On a somewhat related/interesting note, back in the windows 95/98 days I would go into the system and change the default window background color from white to a slighly darker gray color. Ran into a few cases where it would cause some applications to be hard to use because they authors must have assumed that the default background color would always be white. I remember the home page for Yahoo looked kinda funny because they did not explicitly set a page background color and Netscape used the system's default window background color in those instances so it was a gray background for me. Rather than use GIF images and transparency they used JPEG images with a white background, probably to get better anti-aliasing effects I suppose. Didn't come out right on my end though heh.

ignace Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I would have to actually check. I switch so many times between color themes I lost count.. Even sometimes in one editing session (CTRL+~ to switch themes in PhpStorm). I use PhpStorm like Kevin and their color themes... SUCK ! And they don't allow me to color certain keywords different, so I also regularly switch editors too (netbeans, PDT, notepad++, ace, sublime text 2, ..). But since I use it at work and it has all the features I need/want.. and there is no other editor like it, I always end up back with PhpStorm. But I would switch in a flash for another editor that has all the features I need AND allows me to color certain keywords differently.

scootstah Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 For the most part I use the default Eclipse theme, though I have modified a few of the colors for syntax highlighting.

Mahngiel Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I've tried many times to use Zend, Eclipse, PhpStorm, but I find that java based editors are extremely heavy and slow - especially when working on remote systems. Even sublime text is retardedly slow in my experience this way. Even though it doesn't have the best folding / scaffolding capbilities and doesn't highlight / fold HTML5, BlueFish has been the best editor i've used. In regards to the whole light vs dark argument, I'm voting with the anti-vampires on this one. I hate sitting in the dark and I absolutely abhor darkly themed sites / programs. I'm glad as hell to see a huge surge in the blue/gray/white schemes being used everywhere lately as opposed to the black sites that were the fad before it.

scootstah Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Meh, I don't find Eclipse to be that slow. Sure it takes a second or two to startup, but that only happens once a day. What do you use?

Mahngiel Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 It's not as feature-rich as the java based editors. but it's very light, cross platform (works best on Linux), and quick. I work primarily on the server-side and opening / saving files is about as quick as it is locally. If you don't have 2.2.3 in your repos i have a x64 deb if you need.

Maq Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I use Eclipse on a daily basis with the default theme, slowness/lag is rare for me.

Nyphrex Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 The Java based editors ruin my workflow; they're so bloated and full of junk that I get sidetracked! Therefore, I use Sublime Text. And while I'm not ever going to be 100% satisfied with any editor... this one comes the closest. As for colour schemes: http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized Solarized and Birds of Paradise are my favourite.
