I've been trying to use solarized off and on for a while now, but the text highlight just doesn't have enough contrast for me. Any highlighted text is unreadable. Tomorrow Night looks like it doesn't have this problem. Awesome!

#82If HN believes creative thinking is a waste of time I’ll get downvoted for this but I fancy just letting my imagination go wild so here goes... Video gamers can supposedly differentiate between tones more similar to one another than non-gamers. Perhaps, if you made a theme of very similar colors, you could achieve the same benefit from programming. Although I suspect it might not work because the difference in the co…
You might find graphical programming languages like LabVIEW interesting; here's a little tutorial that shows what LabVIEW programs look like: http://www.ee.buffalo.edu/faculty/paololiu/edtech/roaldi/tut... "Wires" that carry values are color-coded according to their contents (integers are blue, floating point values are orange, booleans are green, etc.). Loops like FOR and WHILE are actual "loops" that encircle the r…
Max/MSP does the same thing for DSP (audio) programming. http://cycling74.com/

LabView IS fun, I've written a couple of drivers and a (physical device) testing GUI with it. As I've been thinking about it more I see two hurdles to overcome with LabView though: - Layout: Spaghetti code becomes a very tangible issue if you don't follow guides on routing religiously. Intro courses only touch on this and LabView code in the wild are rarely clean. These visual routing guides are ORTHOGONAL to good co…
True enough, LabView visual 'code' doesn't scale cleanly. One of the reasons for this 'spaghetti' is that the language combines control-flow and data-flow constructs in the same schema level. However, LabView remains the most successful graphical language to date, leaving MUCH room for future language innovations for those who dare to journey out of the scripting realm for software expression to deal with the scaling and many other engineering issues for a new paradigm.

#84When I used Notepad++ my favorite theme was Waher[1]. I've since switched to Sublime Text 2 but do miss it, Monokai just isn't doing it for me.

#85Doesn't seem to have the technical justifications of Ethan Shoonover's solarized [ http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized ] but looks pretty well thought out to me.
Re: Tomorrow Theme
#86Speaking of using color as a formal syntax in a graphical programming language. The example found at http://www.coretalk.net/CubiconPrivate/CubiconPaper/MemoryMa... (User: Cubist1 and Password: Sandy2) is the executable design of the Memory Manager module for a next-generation virtual machine (VM). The visual directory on the left of the screen is a number of control-flow methods, interleaved with white and gray backgrounds. The colored icons express fundamental language constructs, in this case, memory pointer transfer, comparisons, and the like. This set of methods compiles into 37 KBytes of ANSI C.

#88Personally I love jellybeans.vim It works great in a 256 color console and in a GUI. https://github.com/nanotech/jellybeans.vim
I've been using skittles-berry[1] a lot lately.. Supercolorful but pretty scannable.

#89STILL missing a Netbeans theme.
I've been on the receiving end of these sorts of comments before, and I cannot convey how annoying this attitude of entitlement is. Someone has worked on this theme, off-and-on, for almost a year. He's built something useful, and he's giving it away for free. If you want a feature, gpmcadam's comment is a good example to follow. Simply point out the missing feature and say how it would be nice to have. Ideally, submi…
You are right. I apologize. Allow me to reword my post:
"Still no Netbeans support? What can I do to help?"
Hummm... to make amends I'll take a couple of hours this week and "port" the color scheme to Netbeans. See what I can come up with.
Thanks for setting me straight.

#90Vim users should go here: http://vimcolorschemetest.googlecode.com if they haven't before, that's where I found darkburn, a darker variant of zenburn that I've been happy with for a couple years.
Vivify [ http://bytefluent.com/vivify/ ] is another good one that takes the opposite approach: Show you code snippets from different languages at once and switch the colorscheme. You can also quickly scrub through the schemes and edit them to create your own.
