IDE Colour Schemes
Posted by Adam Posted in 3 comments
Since I started re-playing with Ruby on Rails a few days ago, I thought I would be nice to create a few colour schemes for the various development environments I’m using.
For Rails development I’m using Macromedia Dreamweaver with the RubyWeaver extension. I’ve customised the design for this quite nicely based on a TextMate (for Mac) theme. Unfortunatly, Dreamweaver doesn’t seem to support storing more than one colour theme at once, so I could only make one.
Controller View
Template View
Having made this theme, I moved on to creating a theme for Zend Studio for my PHP development. Zend is far better than DW in this respect although I did miss not being able to type in hex colour codes (HSB or RGB only).
PHP Code
Javascript
HTML
CSS
Fortunatly, this theme is one I can easily export and publish – so here you go, I’ve zipped up the XML file and published it. To install the scheme, you simply need to copy the file into [drive]:\Documents & Settings\[username]\ZDE\config_[version]\schemes.
