Customization

Themes

In version 1.9.9.7, PyScripter introduced an updated theme (skin) engine that allows the loading of external themes. You can download additional themes (skins) from this site. The downloaded skins contain files with the "skn" extension. Place these skn files in the directory %APPDATA%\PyScripter\Skins and the external skins will be automatically available in PyScripter. (%APPDATA% is the directory pointed by the corresponding environment variable).

You can also create your own skins by using the skin editor provided here.

Shortcuts and Color Schemes

You can import and export shortcuts and syntax highlighting settings using the commands under Tools, Options, Import Export. This allows PyScripter users to share shortcuts and syntax highlighting settings. If you have customized these settings to match those of popular IDEs and editors such as Visual Studio and IDLE, you are encouraged to submit them to pyscripter@google.com. A repository of such submitted settings is available here.

Here's a dark highlighter (actually only the Python version) I made based on the Bespin theme for Notepad++: http://pastebin.com/GegG7ddh

I made one inspired by Monokai (brighter characters, darker background, swapping and tweaking certain colours): https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-Wu-vqJ0z2mdFVuQ3lHNU95UTg/edit?usp=sharing Screenshots here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-Wu-vqJ0z2mQzJxRTdycEt4RWs/edit?usp=sharing

This needs the option to change the selection color because I can't see very well what is selected with a black background. The only option is "Theme Selection" on or off but neither is very good:

Off: Selection is white text and black background making it virtually indistinguishable from the rest

On: (On my pc, as I don't know what this option does very well) Selection is white text with very very light blue background wich I find just terrible

Thank you for including my color schemes directly into this fantastic project. I have created some almost 4 years ago. But, i stopped those thinking pyscripter dead; as there were no updates at that time. Good to know that you guys have updated it and now it's good too.

Though, i rarely use windows now; i will try to create some color schemes (from eclipse color schemes pages or vim color scheme pages available online) and some entirely new color schemes ( i will try at least :D ) as soon as i get some time.

I invite everyone to contribute to this project and to my color scheme page too; to make it stay updated with this project. :)

Thanks again :)
