Adding a new color scheme to spyder: sublime text 2 colorschemes

[filip.k...@gmail.com]

Hi guys,

I was wondering whether you know a way to add a color scheme file of the format found in this webpage http://colorsublime.com/ to spyderlib so that it can be used as a syntax colorscheme?

Thank you!

Hi there

There is no inbuilt support for this (yet) but it seems like a nice project for someone interested in developing the functionality.

Those *.tmTheme files are just XML files so you could use a the xml module in python to parse the contents and assign 

the usable ones to the custom colors in the preferences menu. 

You would need to add a new button inside the preferences dialogue (on top of the 'Reset to defaults values') that would then

call a openfile dialogue with some included file filters (*.thTheme in this case) and allow you for the selection of such file.

Interested in developing this?

Cheers
