Description: The selection of usable styles for gedit is -- lacking to say the least. After working with a couple of styles, rather than porting my kate style to gnome, I decided to retouch the 'Classic' gedit theme. The result, the DarkClassic theme.
It retains it gnome underpinnings while taking on a deep dark background and slight current line detail. Easy on the eyes. Enjoy!
Oops, sorry I omitted the install step. It's really easy.
To install for you only:
In gedit, from the menu, choose:
Edit -> Preferences -> Fonts & Colors -> Add
Then just navigate to the spot you saved the DarkClassic.xml file to and select it. Done.
To install system wide:
(as root) copy the DarkClassic.xml file to /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/styles/ directory, then restart gedit and the style will be available in the list in Edit -> Preferences -> Fonts & Colors
Enjoy!
