    thinAir Themes

    Starting from thinBasic 1.10.5.0 thinAir editor has the possibility to configure text themes in order to adapt the editor to the personal visual feelings.

    How to change thinAir theme
    thinAir themes can be changes using right click on any thinAir editor window and then "Themes..." menu
    What are thinAir themes
    thinAir themes are special XML files with specific properties set.
    Theme files are stored inside \thinBasic\thinAir\Themes\

    thinAir themes examples
    thinAir comes with some pre-configured themes like:

    1. Default (is the basic theme from all others are derived)
    2. Candyland
    3. Default DOS
    4. Monokay
    5. Monokay Blue
    6. vim Dark Blue
    7. vim Zenburn


    How to create new themes
    Copy a pre-configured theme file into a new one. Make relevant changes. See results.
    If you will read XML theme file you will see that all options are derived from default theme.
    It means that all options not set in your theme will be taken from default theme.

    Some example

    I think it is too
    However, the downside is the look with CodeTips for I can't customize the colors.

    A bunch of High Contrast Themes including installer

    I made a few themes over the time. All of them are focused on readability,
    all of them use mainly monospaced fonts. Most are mixed fonts and all fonts are free for personal use.

    Because of the fonts these themes come with some installer. A tiny thinBasic-script that will take care of moving the ressources to the locations where they are supposed to be.

    How?
    After download of themes that you like you should download also the ThemePackSetup.tBasic-utility.
    It will install your chosen theme(s) including the required fonts directly from the packages. There's no need to unzip nor to drag files to any other location. All will be done by the ThemePackSetup-script if you double-click on it within your downloads-folder while the zipped themepacks are in the same folder.

    It will create a fonts-subdir within the thinAir-themes-folder and will copy everything of the ThemePacks that you downloaded where it's needed. If you like some of the fonts to be available systemwide on your pc, it's up to you to drag them into the Windows\Fonts-Folder.

    So this is the Installer-utility for .theme.zip-packages: it will setup all it finds at once.
    You still will need to right-click into thinAir-coding area and select a new theme.

    High readability in a bright theme. Use the ThemePackSetup.tBasic to install directly from the zipped package.

    HighContrastDarkbased-theme

    Another high contrast theme on a very dark background.
    Very clear and pleases the eyes. If too small you can always use the mousewheel while holding CTRL-Key and pointing into the codewindow of thinAir. It zooms - i guess - up to infinite magnification.

    Use the ThemePackSetup.tBasic-script to setup eveything instantly from the zipped themepack
    .

    Yellow Contra Byte - High Contrast and good readability in medium bright environment

    This theme is bit dark yellow - which is not really dark but lets say medium bright. Focused on clear readable code it will help to relax your eyes looking onto it - while your mind can be undisturbed and highly active without any headache caused by insufficient screen settings.

    Use the ThemePackSetup-Utilitity to install everything directly from zipped archive.
