I’m not sure why I’ve never mentioned Aptana Studio in this blog except at the About page. It’s the nicest IDE I’ve found, and for web development, I’ve moved from the also-awesome Notepad++ to Aptana.

Anyway, I wanted a dark colorization so I could read my code a little better, so yesterday, I tried to make a colorization based on the Ruby Blue theme for Notepad++, but I was having a bit of trouble and it was really tedious. To add, it was late.

Frustrated, I was looking around the forums, then I caught sight of a post that linked to a colorization, called Green Chaud, made by Boris Popoff. Just one screenshot demonstrates its sheer beauty immediately. I downloaded and imported the colorization to my copy of Aptana, and I fell in love! Here’s the screenshot from that page:
