white background
black for plain text
bold and blue for keywords
green for comments
olive for pre-processor
red for numbers
maroon / purple for characters and strings
light grey for operators

i like to use courier new and nice big size 12, 10 hurts my eyes.

i think this is the default for mingw studio.

Ya know how the human eye is more sensitive of green than blue and red? Well, I had a friend tell me that if you're dyslexic, some combination of black and green is often better than the standard black and white. Black print on white paper or a white background is supposedly harder on a dyslexic, and I imagine black print on lime background is a little sweeter for that.

Take that for what it's worth, of course.

I used white text on a white background. I love a challenge[wink].
Actually, I used the standard Visual Studio colors, except I changed strings to actually have a bluish green color.

White on pure black really hurts my eyes, for some reason. I much prefer something like this if I'm going to use a solid black background.

Is this where we post some hideous picture of our desktop?

Background: Black
Preprocessor: Green.
Comments: Green, italics.
Keywords: Light blue; bold.
Strings: Red, dark redish background.
Characters: Orange, dark redish background.
Operators: Yellow.
Identifiers: Gray.
Numbers: Cyan.

Edit: Nuts to showing off my beautiful wallpaper, makes it too big with PNG and too blurry with JPEG if I try to keep it at a reasonable size.

Ah, one of those IDE thread.



to simulate programming in DOS.

gVim default settings:

Fixedsys, 9 pt (but I have my monitor resolution set low :P )

black text, white background
preprocessor = lavender
constants (string literals, numbers, true and false) = pink
comments = blue; some 'special' comments (XXX, TODO, FIXME etc.) get automatically highlighted with a light-yellow background, the same as is used for searched-for text.
keywords/operators = bold green and bold maroon (I'm not exactly sure how gVim clasifies them... type names, 'template', 'const', 'class' are green, but 'operator', 'sizeof', 'if/else', 'public:' are maroon...)

Well, I didn't intend for this to become one of those post your desktop threads... but I guess everyone loves pictures.



That's windows 2000. A little note about my windows colors; The default windows colors have a little bit more red than green and blue. I swapped the red for blue and it looks a little more soothing. I also don't use the title bar fade effect because I never did like it.

I just picked my favorite NeHe tutorial in a place with some colors to show.

Here's mine:

Just working on my spring physics simulator thingy.

Ah, you've got to be kidding me! That is horrifying.

kSquared, yours is very pleasant. I made this thread to get some ideas... and I've actually changed mine to look like yours

Amen to that!

Powder blue: it's like an eye massage.

Here's my old one:



After reading this thread, though, I decided to try something new:



So far I like it a lot better.
