Over the weekend, I was trying to redesign my Flash Actionscript IDE to look dark…looks like I’m addicted with Dark Themes now, my eye pupils are more relaxed on the new colors settings. For those whom are using big CRT can consider this; what I heard was using darker themes tend to save energy and produce lesser heat. Anyway, take a look at my cool actionscript IDE now.
Here are my settings but, it does that few hours for your eyes to get accustomed with the sudden switch of light to dark theme. Is just like driving in heavy rain using sun glasses. Then again, you can always revert to default settings if you don’t like it.
Settings

Yeah, a biggy and vague topic. Those of you who wondered into my site probably read a lot of forums and technical blogs each stating their own style of installing Microsoft Windows Vista.
About a few months ago, I was trying to upgrade my Pentium 4 to Windows Vista SP1, but encounter tonnes of blue screen problem to system hangs on boot up. IT WAS A NIGHTMARE!
Then, I reformatted and stopped the SP1 from auto updating until I resolved this issue. Later, this month - I decided to get a new set with better hardware and hopefully having less trouble in installing to Vista. Prior to that I’ve done some research here and there.
I listed out some of the important pointers one should take before considering about installing Vista on your test machine.

Normally editor such as notepad, editplus, notepad++, visual studio, devstudio and many more. They came with light theme by default, which means utilizing white as the background and the syntax as the colored ones. Have you ever seen a dark theme before?
A dark theme looks like a classical o/s prompt command or linux terminal. I found a wonderful color customization from Boris Popoff that day, regarding the customization of color template for dark theme for Aptana IDE. After using Aptana IDE for quite some time, I find dark theme suits my vision better, cause I always thinks that white background on the lcd monitor can be way too bright. Well that’s just my field of vision.
For those who are new to Aptana IDE - Free javascript IDE can read my review here
The font used for this is MS-Consolas. When tweaked your IDE will look like the picture above.
