QtCreator editor color schemes

[kkrzewniak]

Thought it would be fun to see what color schemes people use for Creator.

I like my code on a black background (found it's a bit less tiring for my eyes).

My scheme file looks like this:
@<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<style-scheme version="1.0" name="MyDarkTheme">
<style name="AddedLine" foreground="#359f9f"/>
<style name="Comment" foreground="#2d9a9e"/>
<style name="CurrentLine" background="#232323"/>
<style name="CurrentLineNumber" foreground="#aaaaaa" bold="true"/>
<style name="DiffFile" foreground="#349e34"/>
<style name="DiffLocation" foreground="#89892d"/>
<style name="DisabledCode" foreground="#777777" background="#222222"/>
<style name="Doxygen.Comment" foreground="#3dbbbb"/>
<style name="Doxygen.Tag" foreground="#00a0a0"/>
<style name="Field" foreground="#618f5c"/>
<style name="Keyword" foreground="#acac39"/>
<style name="Label" foreground="#bfbf3f"/>
<style name="LineNumber" foreground="#888888" background="#232323"/>
<style name="Link" foreground="#0041c4"/>

<style name="Parentheses" foreground="#ff5555" background="#333333"/>
<style name="Preprocessor" foreground="#917bbc"/>
<style name="RemovedLine" foreground="#b43c3c"/>
<style name="SearchResult" background="#555500"/>
<style name="SearchScope" background="#222200"/>
<style name="Selection" foreground="#000000" background="#aaaaaa"/>
<style name="Static" foreground="#a69829"/>
<style name="String" foreground="#485abe"/>
<style name="Text" foreground="#a1a1a1" background="#000000"/>
<style name="Type" foreground="#317f13"/>
<style name="VirtualMethod" foreground="#a69174" italic="true"/>
<style name="VisualWhitespace" foreground="#c0c0c0"/>
</style-scheme>@

Color schemes, you mean?

Just weighing in here. I've always just used the default. It works fine for me.

Sorry and thanks for correcting me :)

Nice topic! I've been always using vim dark theme, but it seems Denis' one gives better contrast to eyes tiredness ratio so probably I'll pinch it :).

[tobias.hunger]

I wonder whether we can have a "best color scheme for Qt Creator competition" here:-)

[DenisKormalev]

sidewinder, I should say that mine scheme has some problems with colors, but if you have good screen then you will not notice them.

[andre]

Default one works for me, I never felt inclined to change it.

[kkrzewniak]

A very interesting scheme Denis, it's way more custom than my fake vim modification :)

[Woody]

I have an other question.

Is it possible to give a color to classes you made yourself? For example, I made a class: event. I use it many times: Event event = new Event();
And since i got couple of those, it will come in handy to give em a specific colour (One color for all classes offcourse)
But i like to give them a specific color, which will make my code more readable.

But is it possible? Anyone an idea

[tobias.hunger]

It is not possible at this time. Contributions are welcome of course:-)

[mlong]

@Woody:

Thanks for your input (and welcome to the forums!) But in the future, please be sure and start a new thread when you have separate questions, even if the topics are somewhat related.

Thanks!
