I have Borland based themes because I want contrast. I hate all these pastel dull themes where all the colors are a similar hue or shade. Who uses them? How do they use them?
Turbo Pascal was my first proper IDE. I remember our school had a new Ibm Ps/2 which ran dos 4.something, it had the text ui based editor, but it was just an editor. Turbo Pascal is where I spent 3 years of college, day and night.
I use the cyberpunk theme in visual studio professional and it’s pretty easy to read the text.
Gah! A bit too much for me, but if you want contrast it's certainly got it.
Yeah some of my coworkers are not keen, but each to their own.
The only thing that sucks is the search box above the solution explorer kinda is invisible when not in focus which is strange.
