Colour themes

Post by mattyk »

I'm sure I saw this on another thread but couldn't find it.

I know there is a way to save settings including colour themes but I'd really like an easy way to change the theme. Maybe we could then share these themes. I'd like to be able to switch these easily.

Yes, i would really like to see this.

Maybe it would be nice to have an importer, too.

So you oppose or are neutral?
if you are neutral you are "0" and not "-1". Is a big difference. 8)

and what inconvenience would arise if the authors make this feature? :?

I do not understand your motive

This would be a great feature. I looked at a lot of similar editors before discovering WeBuilder and many, while lacking features that I'd firgured were essential, did have the ability to select from many different and interesting schemes. I have set up a black background, white text and a mixture of neon and pastel tag colors. It sounds hideous but I sit on WeBuilder 10 hrs daily and I find the default white background gets too bright as the day wears on. I would like to be able to share the scheme and try some that others have done.

So here's my +1

If anyone can tell me how to export this scheme you're welcome to a copy.

Yes, +1

Some people, like me, need it because need some more eye-friendly colour configurations because my eyes get tired when i spent much hours in front of the PC coding.

I've been using web builder for a few years now. I still haven't found anything better on Windows but I can't help my eyes from wandering to other editors because of the lack of this feature.

I know it doesn't sound like much but at the end of the day after 10 hours coding I'd like a dark theme.

I know its not a catwalk but come on - we all like "nice" things. Otherwise what's the point in bothering in the first place?! I'd like to choose some dark calming colours and a nice font if possible.

I've just been playing around again with the colour options withing Webuilder

I created a scheme for CSS that is darker - not too difficult as there aren't so many different elements to style and they can basically get the same style as each other.

I did run into an issue however with the "hightlight row" feature. As this is a light colour, my text is no longer readable as its also a light colour. It's possible to change the highlight but if some file types are dark and others are light then it won't be great for every file type.

Basically I wanted to post that in case someone else was thinking of doing the same thing. Don't just stick with the light scheme and hope that some kind of general colour schemer is added in future. I really hope so!
