ragnarok-inspired

Inspired from various schemes among others: ‘Ragnarok Grey’, ‘Midnight Ocean’ and ‘Moria Alt’.

OK some thought on the scheme:

– Generally red and yellow colors are reserved for debugging, warnings, errors etc. Standard colors are kept in the blue and purple ranges for consistency reasons. A subjective goal was to keep coloring easy on the eye.

– Type colors show interfaces, classes, structs, enums and delegares with different colors for easy identification. Value types are kept in dark blue colors.

– The background is not quite black. Again to avoid high contrasts. To enhance the experience one could install the VS2010 ‘Productivity Power Tools’ extension and make the background black for the current line (R: 0, G: 0, B: 0) and gray when inactive (R: 128, G: 128, B: 128) – http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/d0d33361-18e2-46c0-8ff2-4adea1e34fef

– Comments have a neutral color. It was not possible to specify the ‘XML Doc Attribute’ value but it should be light gray (R: 208, G: 208, B: 208). If a particular comment should be highlighted install the VS2010 ‘VS10x Comments Extender’ extension – http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/17c68951-7743-40bd-ad35-608706f54a92

– Because numbers generally take up so little space, they have been highlighted with a high contrast green on black coloring.

– Font: Consolas with size 11 works nicely

Changes:

– I changed the color for delegate types to make it easier to read in daylight conditions.

– I changed the outlining colors.

Unfortunately I was not able to upload the whole schema here. Additional color settings need to be changed to get the full experience. Below I list the most interesting XML coloring elements that can be included in the downloaded schema if the target IDE is VS2010:

The following VS2010 XML coloring elements can be used for coloring of other text based windows (immediate, command, F# interactive, Power Shell etc.). They are not all available from the UI. The only way is to edit an exported schema file and then import it again:

The following VS2010 XML coloring elements sets the color for tool tips (VS2010):
