Click to See Complete Forum and Search --> : DW CS3: Anyone have a Black-background Color Scheme?
...specifically for PHP, but i guess this is the most appropriate forum! :)
the white background has really been bothering my eyes lately because of the amount of hours straight I've been working...
Tried to edit it manually but made a huge mess and it was a pain to get the original color scheme back :)
thx!

Just replace the body tag to:
<body bg="#000000">
or in the head section add the following tag:
<style>
body{
background:#000000;
}
</style>
yup had already done that, but then all the other colors look odd....

If you are able to use simple graphic programe such as Microsoft Paint, It will be nice to attache an image that looks like what your mind has in-order to allow me look at it, then I will know what you exactly mind.
here's what im working with, not sure its the latest version but its the most recently updated one i've found online (18/04/2008): direct-link, my domain (http://www.alexweber.info/php20080418.xml)
i remember a few jobs ago i had a co-worker who was a long-term programmer and he had 'inverted' color schemes for his IDE (cant remember which one now) so intead of black on white, its white on black.
a few years later i realize that he was right. its significantly less stressing on the eyes... perhaps even something on gray would be better (less contrast). but i digress.
my point is that simply changing the background color makes certain items look strange and i cant figure out a coherent way to make them look more natural and intuitive, also DW uses a list of terms which aren't 100% clear to me... ok was gonna go ahead and post a screenshot but my website is suddenly offline... great.. ill try to post asap but you get the picture right?
so i decided to work on my own thing here and after reading up on a lot of the extensible DW files i realized that most of the ones that came shipped with CS3 included a lot of deprecated codehints, missing/obsolete functions and whatnot so im working on an up to date version... :)
