    Hey guys,

    I'm the author of nedit-ng. I am considering the idea of supporting multiple color schemes in a future release (or at least having first class support for editing the current color scheme in the UI) and while I could make some alternative color schemes myself, I'm not exactly an artist and I'm also not an expert on EVERY language that nedit supports out of the box with its default language modes. So, I was curious if any of the nedit user base have developed color schemes that they like and would be willing to share!

    I'd be particularly interested in color setups that are more of a "dark mode" as I personally find it a little easier on the eyes as I get older :-P. But really, any alternative color setups would be interesting and useful.

    Thanks,
    Evan

    Hi,

    I'm not sure to understand what a color scheme is.
    I think you don't mean syntax highlighting depending on the language used in the window editor ?

    Regards.

    Yea, the setup of syntax highlighting colors. Or what NEdit refers to as "Text Drawing Styles".

    As a whole, I am refering to the entire set of text drawing styles as a "Scheme" or "Theme".

    Hi,

    If I give you my nedit syntax highlighting color (from the .nedit/nedit.rc file), you'll be happy with that ? I think it is more or less 95% the default colors.

    Regards.

    Xuo.

    Yea, the nedit.rc would cover all of the styles. So yea, it would be helpful for sure. Though hopefully others who have changed more than just a couple of colors would be willing to help too :-)

    Hi,

    Here are my 2 config files : the one from nedit and the one from nedit-ng (which was translated from the nedit one as far as I remember).

    Regards.

    xuo.
