My Color Theme for Notepad++
I really like the color theme from the Adobe Source Code Pro font announcement for HTML and XML as well as the beautiful Source Code Pro font for coding. Then, I read this Programming Fonts comparison and really like the color theme for C# in the screenshots.
My favorite text editor is Notepad++ on Windows when I don't feel like opening the slow and bloated Visual Studio. I really wanted a good dark color theme based on the Source Code Pro announcement and Programming Fonts comparison for coding HTML/XML, C#, and Python. I will eventually optimize the colors for JavaScript and CSS very soon.
It is similar to many many other themes out there. A friend of mine even mentioned it looks like a typical VIM highlighting theme. I am going to call it Obsidian PyCs since it is based on the Obsidian theme that comes with Notepad++.
