Hi, I really like the new Breeze Dark syntax highlighting schema. However, for the UI I prefer slightly toned-down colors such as those provided by the Krita Dark theme. The background color is less intensive and a little more neutral, but still dark enough to be easy on the eye. Unfortunately, there is no matching syntax schema, so the editor area always looks a little off when using a different dark theme than Breeze Dark. It would therefore be great if Kate (and KDevelop) would also ship with a Krita Dark Schema. The colors would be basically the same as the Breez Dark Theme with the following changes: Editor Background Colors: Text Area: #313131 Current Line: #393939 Icon Border: Background Area: #363636 Word Wrap Marker: #424242
@Andrew: Would it be interesting for you to work on this? If the decision is to not have this, would also be fine.
Sure I'll take this. I'm working on some other themes right now anyway since it was on my mind.
Cool, just keep in mind that the default themes we ship should not be defined by quantity (e.g. as many as possible), but rather as quality. That's also why I am not convinced that just changing the background color qualifies as new Theme. Then again: Who codes decides, and things can always be changed. So if the decision is to add a Krita Dark, then I'd be fine with it...

Doesn't have to be 50 or anything, but just a handful. I'm not making any *new* ones, but rather attempting to translate popular existing ones.
Hi, we ship now a lot more themes, see: https://kate-editor.org/themes/ We are open for more submissions. Here some template: https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/syntax-highlighting/-/merge_requests/125
