Hi!
It would be great to have a good dark theme. There is a bit of theory behind about how to choose a nice color schema. It would be _great_ that the crew behind this effort have a look at it.
we do have a good dark theme⦠probably not the one you like the most, but is good (based in darcula for eclipse) :)
Here is a set of colors that works well for the dark theme. The code highlighter may greatly benefit from it. http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized <http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized>
You already have solarised highlight in pharo. But it will not work out-of-the-box on dark because of the default font (is dark gray)â¦. I suppose it can be adapted easily for dark theme too. Esteban
It even works well for the white theme.
Cheers, Alexandre
NB: Thanks to Damien Pollet for the Solarized link!

Hi,
The Dark Theme is a standard theme upcoming in Pharo4, but as you might noticed, is still far from perfect. I would like to take some actions on it but I do not have a lot of time this days, so I thought on asking for help :)
What I think is needed?
1) There are some bugs (for example in the search window, cmd+f in text panes) 2) Icon-set is not prepared for dark backgrounds. Now, this is a problem in eclipse itself who didnât had a dark-theme either until recently. Now, I know they added a dark-theme and a corresponding set of icons (a set that can be displayed correctly both in white and black backgrounds), but I cannot find the icons. So if someone knows where they are, Iâll gladly replace them. I know in an ideal world we will have our own set of icons, but that requires a lot of effort and design talent⦠so in the mean time, I think eclipse icons are doing a good job :)
cheers, Esteban
