Arc Dark theme for Geany

damo · 2017-08-23 01:09:08

Based on "Kugel", with some modifications to suit Arc Dark, and programming string colour is green instead of red.

Save the code below as "~/.config/geany/colorschemes/kugel-arc-dark.conf", and choose it from "View -> Change Color scheme", after restarting Geany.

Thanks for this. Geany is usually so bright.

Which I linked to. The Arc colours are a mod of the Kugel theme from codebrainz, which I have been using for a while, and then got irritated by the clash with the gtk!

Not a big fan of dark themes for text editors but this looks nice.

When i look at white text on a dark background i get light trailings or light remnants after looking/reading etc. Not sure what that is about so i prefer for longer periods of time to have dark writing on a light colored background.

tknomanzr · 2017-08-23 14:03:22

I am the exact opposite. Too much bright really strains my eyes after awhile, so themeing the code editor with darker colors makes sense for me. Back when I was learning java, I would modify window's cmd.exe to produce a black background and matrix green text. It had just never occurred to me that I could theme geany. The just opens up a whole new world of coolness for my favorite text editor. Given @damo's new wallpapers, I feel a blue theming for my desktop coming when I get the opportunity.

If only it was possible to have one (dark) geany colour scheme for editing and another (black on white) for printing.

oh!
well there's still the base16 repo.

Looks really great, I like it! As a bit polish it could be delivered with #BĹ out-of-the-box.

If anyone is wanting to get rid of that vertical line: Edit -> Preferences-> Editor -> Display-> Uncheck ‘Enabled’ in Long line maker.

As I've just read it shows the (old standard) 72-character line break. At the end of the typewriter age, most designs were geared toward 72 CPL, derived from a pitch of 12 characters per inch, multiplied by 6 inches (see for example IBM Selectric). This would ensure at least 1 inch for each margin, with the U.S. government at the time having standardized on 8 1/2×11" paper. Early computer text editors used this measure as a baseline for their terminal interfaces.

@damo
Thanks...I am going to use this config in my dwmXS distro...
@martix
Thanks for the Long line tip

martix · 2017-10-01 02:41:02

@mrneilypops You're welcome This theme is so great, this should be shipped with the distro.

I'm struggling with one thing though: Which code does the light grey color have? (Or which setting is it in the config above - I mean the light grey color which e.g. the line numbers have). Everything looks great, this is the only color I'd like to set it to something darker (not for the line numbers but for the code).
