The standard color themes that come with xcode have never worked for me (sorry Apple!). If you're needing something a bit more VIM or lovely like TextMate try these. I've converted them from themes of the same name for other applications (original credit goes to those authors).
Contains themes:
| name | preview |
|---|---|
| 2morrow Night |  |
| 2morrow Night (Eighties) |  |
| Coal Graal |  |
| Glitterbomb |  |
| Kellys |  |
| Monokai |  |
| Night |  |
| Resesif |  |
| Sidewalk Chalk |  |
| Sunset |  |
Place .dvtcolorthemes in
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/FontAndColorThemes
or clone this repository into
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/
and rename it to
FontAndColorThemes
Select the theme from the prefences menu of Xcode. The font I use is Anonymous Pro, available [here][http://www.marksimonson.com/fonts/view/anonymous-pro]
