I like your assessment of LabVIEW. I find that if your code is turning to spaghetti, you're not using enough sub-VIs. Try to find blocks of code that accomplish one thing and put that code in its own VI. As a bonus you get to design a little icon for your new sub-VI. :) Your "rabbit hole" analogy is spot-on and I'm not sure how NI can address some of those problems. Some things like Ctags that are so valuable in text…

If you right click a VI in a LabVIEW project you can "Find Callers" and "Find SubVIs" I'm using LV 2009, I'm not sure what version this was added.

I'm sure part of the issue was that I was trying to teach myself Labview under a deadline as a fresh college grad with zero oversight from anyone with experience with it.

Monokai is popular choice for many initially, it looks good but hurts eyes. Solarized on the other hand seems to lack contrasts at times.

After spending a great amount of time in 'Merbivore Soft', then 'Made of Code' last year, I've fallen in love with 'Tomorrow' - ST2 & XCode. Mostly for the vibrant colors and pleasant contrast. Clojure too looks very nice in this.

Coal Graal is another nice theme - http://goo.gl/fH9rP http://goo.gl/4nCHk

Judging by the screenshots, this does not include a replacement/substitute for Solarized Light.

I installed it for Sublime and the plain "Tomorrow" is like Solarized Light.. where as tomorrow night - xx are a collection of darker themes.

Yes, though the light theme doesn't exist yet for all editors (Visual Studio, in my case).

Vim 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.

Good site, found a few there myself.

Fair warning to low performance/feeble browser machines - there are A LOT of images there.

I've never seen Solarized, so Tomorrow it is. Looking forward to Kate support.

Kate's editor (I guess at least, it was in KDevelop which uses Kate as an editor as far as I know) has a great functionality - different colors for different variables. I only worked on one project in KDevelop but I really liked this functionality and missed it in other editors.

If 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 try naming your functions in Chinese. There's evidence showing that people take advantage of the face recognition machinery of their brains to read Chinese[1].

Coincidentally, native speakers of tonal languages (Chinese being one of them) also seem to have a higher chance of being pitch-perfect [2].

STILL 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…

Don't really mind these sort of comments to be honest but thanks very for the well meant concern :)

Crags comment is perfectly valid, NetBeans support has been missing for a while now. I'm looking into it now however.

JavaScript in ST2 looks gorgeous in Tomorrow Night 80s. Java, not so much. Keywords, class names and annotations all being the same color makes for a lot of lavender. http://i.imgur.com/8wRBN.png

Wow that is not good. Keeping your screenshot for future reference. Thanks!
