Hey peeps! This morning I spent some time making my Arduino IDE more like Sublime Text 2's Monokai color scheme. It's about as close as I can get, there really are not enough system variables to make it happen without more hacking on the source code (not really an effort I want to undertake). Regardless I think it's VERY nice if you like darker themes and thought I'd share it with you all.
THIS is the colour theme I've always wanted to get. I've found staring at a very white background is very disorientating but I wanted
to keep the Arduino IDE as I don't want to go through another learning curve by learning another IDE just for its background
Thanks for this. Saved me a LOT of time getting the look I wanted.
I downloaded Liberation Mono (from Find Free Fonts » Font Squirrel) and changed preferences.txt to
editor.font=LiberationMono,plain,18
editor.font.macosx=LiberationMono,plain,18
It's not the default Sublime Text 2 font (Emilbus Mono), but I think it's very close.
