nothing wrong with a nice dark theme

How do you program while looking at a supernova?

What do you think about Kotlin or Scala, anon?

>>60566159
they're pretty nice.

>>60565885
that reddish orange pops out too much

>>60565844
how the hell is a dark background more eye straining than a white one?

>>60565844
>>60566588
Don't be alarmed dubdubs, it's usually a matter of not only font (and size), but of lighting.
I work in a very well lit environment and I switched to light background (spacemacs-light theme) and it has been easier on my eyes.
If you write in dim lighting try a pastel scheme, and if in relative dark, then a dark scheme.
You could even switch between them depending on the amount of ambient light.
There's no one size fits all in this case, but AFAIK light background have been shown to actually cause less eye strain. The dark ones look cooler, but fuck it, I stare at a terminal most of my day.

sublime uses whatever font you want

anyone use matrix esque setup?

>>60565844
Only advantage is that sytax highlighting is more expressive on a dark background rather than a white one.

>red numeric literals
>blue strings

Approved. Strings should be easy on the eyes, while "magic numbers" (which usually shouldn't be there in the first place) should stick out, if there's too many of them, there's probably too many of them.

>>60566573
See above. Using red(dish) for keywords (which are all over the place, duh) is not the best of ideas.

>>60565844
i'm not a fan of it myself, i prefer a semi dark blue as a white background will eventually make my eyes dry up like raisins

Then use a fucking white theme.
They just like bigger and better black cocks.

Its called personal preference.

People on /g/ who use dark themes live in a basement without lights.

If you work in a well lit office a light theme won't hurt your eyes. (it sometimes depend on the screen though).

t. employed programmer.

>>60570819
Funny enough most employed programmers i see use light themes, the only exception is webdevs which use dark themes just because they look cooler

>>60570727
stop swearing, it's against the code of conduct here

>>60570382
The theme is gruvbox plus with dark contrast (you can try Medium if the red is too intense for you)

The font is Operator Mono (both in the editor and in the tree view), the tab bar font is Intro.

The tree view on the right is a setting on the tree view package settings.

oh and the ui theme is called Nucleus Dark
