I use "Obsidian" on N++, on Eclipse I downloaded a plugin for themes but I won't use it anymore, I like Eclipse the way it is.

I use Solarized in Emacs and iterm2. I'd use it on DiC if I could.

I use the default on VS2008/2010 and Eclipse.
Never thought about changing the colours, may have to like the black background as used by OP :)

Now that I got Weendoos to work again, here's mine for VisualStudios. Netbeans looks similar.

You could define your own CSS file if you wanted to! :D

Eh to each their own I guess but jeesh Neo, the idea of code highlighting is to make comments, operators, numbers, variables etc... stand out...

Then again, green text is what the CRT displayed everything in back in the day... Don't miss that for a second :)

I do a lot of my coding at night and seem to end up in somewhat dark places a lot of the time so mine has pretty dark colors for the sake of my eyes.

I use Son of Obsidian on Visual Studio 2010, with Consolas 12pt.

It's fantastic on the eyes and very nice to use for those long coding sessions. No more ear wear and tear.

Combine that with some Flux usage and I'm golden. Seriously, do your eyes a HUGE FAVOR and use Flux for three days and feel the difference.

At best you change your life, at worst you wasted 3 days and 200k memory. ;)

I've seen many of you use white-on-black(ish) styles, some studies say that it's actually worse than black-on-white:

There was a very thorough research on these topics in 2004 done by: Richard H. Hall & Patrick Hanna.
It proved that just a little bit people tilted in the favor of white on black.

There was also a research in 2007 done by: A. Buchner & N. Baumgartner.
Almost the same result there.
http://www.psycho.un...nd-polarity.pdf

So that proves that white on black actually does lesser eye strain than black on white.

But I think the opposite, I guess it's just a personal preference

As for the topic at hand:

I use the default VS style with consolas 12pt

I use son-of-a-son-of-obsidian (which is son-of-obsidian modified for ReSharper and ProPowerTools) in combination with f.lux with consolas 12pt:D

Oh and Thanks for the flux info, I didn't know about that, that tool is GREAT!
