Dark Dreamweaver Theme

code-colouringIf, like me, you spend all day staring at a Dreamweaver code screen, you may have given thought to your eyesight and the steps you take to preserve it.

After over 10 years of software development, I have finally taken it upon myself to set my IDE background to black. I have tried this a couple of times over the years, but have immediately changed it back due to it looking ‘wierd’. I had just become too accustomed to the colour coding scheme PHP uses and found it extremely difficult to re-adjust.

After a scour on the internet for some sort of ‘theme’, I came across this excellent color scheme.

I’ve now applied this colour scheme to the three PCs I develop on and two weeks down the line I’m really getting used to it. I think it will take another couple of weeks before the colours become second nature to my brain, but it’s worth it in the long run.

    this is pretty cool, thanks for the heads up. I’ve been doing coding for two weeks straight and was getting tired of the interface, hopefully it will keep me going
