Ekini Edit: A gEdit Scheme that is dark and suitable for low-light conditions

Posted on: Nov 19, 2009 by wenbert

A dark scheme with reduced glare and improved readability. The scheme is called Ekini Edit, it is based on the Zendburn and Thankful Eyes.

My problem is the opposite as often both the terminal and gedit are unreadable because of the light that come from the eastern window. Have you any suggestions on a color scheme? :)

I haven’t had that problem here at work. You can try to experiment between a dark scheme (like the one above) and a light scheme for gedit.

Hi Boosis,

I’m sorry I do not have this scheme for netbeans. I have not tried using netbeans yet. If ever I get my hands on it, I will certainly be creating a port for this scheme for netbeans since I always code with a dark background.

@John, sorry brother, no port for Vim now. Just download Zendburn. This scheme is based on it.

Thanks,
Wenbert
