[Theme] Solarized (Light and Dark)

Post by kenmo »

Solarized is a complementary pair of Light and Dark color themes which have been praised for years and ported to many programming IDEs.
They are themes of 16 colors carefully designed by Ethan Schoonover to reduce eyestrain plus maximize readability at day and night.

I was shocked to find nobody on the forum has adapted Solarized for the PB IDE. So I took a shot at it, but I am open to feedback and improvements.

Solarized for PureBasic IDE on GitHub
Direct: Solarized-Light.prefs , Solarized-Dark.prefs

You can import these color prefs files through the IDE's Preferences > Import/Export screen, or try my IDE tool for "instantly" switching color themes: ChangeTheme

The dark looks good. Can you show an image while stepping some pb code?
That is the hardest thing to get right while in dark mode. I can't tell breakpoints from current line.
The nice thing about standards is there are so many to choose from. ~ Andrew Tanenbaum

Re: [Themes] Solarized and now Selenized

For anyone who is using the above Solarized color themes in PureBasic, or anyone interested at all, I have also adapted the four "Selenized" color themes for the PureBasic IDE!

"Selenized" are two light and two dark themes, based on Solarized. You might like them better.
Here is the author Jan's reasoning for improvements:
