  1. 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.

  3. nice scheme. port to Vim?

    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

    Thanks, I love the color scheme! I’ll have to port this over to vim at some point. :)

  7. Wenbert says:

    @Brian, you should! :D My brother is looking for one ;)

    Thanks for this. I was pretty bummed when I went to download Thankful Eyes and found out that the website it was hosted on no longer existed. This is exactly the sort of theme I’ve been wanting for a while now.
