Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: GCC OS: Linux Some developers, like me, prefer to use a dark color scheme to save your eyes and battery power. But I've got more machines on which I do development, which means I have to set up color schemes everywhere (it is true, I'm lazy). I've got actually two ideas on this issue: - Providing a few more color schemes, like the ones below, in the default distribution. - Because creating good color scheme's is a hard job it would be an idea to look after supporting VIM color schemes (eg. on the fly or by using a script that mappes fields and creates Kate color schemes). For VIM there is already a huge set of schemes arround, that, when color fields are mapped correctly, can be a huge content-improvement for Kate. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~maverick/VimColorSchemeTest/index-html.html Possible Kate color schemes to adopt as non-default alternatives: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/zenburn+-+eye-gentle+Kate+color+scheme?content=66209 http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/darK+-+A+Kate+Syntax+Highlighting+Theme?content=53388 http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Coolate+color+scheme+for+KDevelop%2BKate?content=34243 http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Kasandra+-+dark+color+scheme+For+Kate?content=29831

Dear user, this wish list item is now closed, as it wasn't touched in the last two years and no contributor stepped up to implement it. The Kate/KTextEditor team is very small and we can just try to keep up with fixing bugs. Therefore wishs that show no activity for two years or more will be closed from now on to keep at least a bit overview about 'current' wishs of the users. If you want your feature to be implemented, please step up to provide some patch for it. If you think it is really needed, you can reopen your request, but keep in mind, if no new good arguments are made and no people get attracted to help out to implement it, it will expire in two years again. We have a nice website kate-editor.org that provides all the information needed to contribute, please make use of it. For highlighting improvements our user manual shows how to write syntax definition files. Greetings Christoph
