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:
- 2morrow Night
- 2morrow Night (Eighties)
- Basic
- 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 Envy Code R, available [here][http://damieng.com/creative/typography]
