So I think I'm going to start using a code editor of some kind instead. the black-on-white gets a little hard to look at after a while, does anyone know of any editor whose color coding plays pretty well with DF's code structure, or that they otherwise prefer?

Thanks in advance.

Notepad++ has customizable color schemes. Amber on dark blue is a pretty soothing combination.

I do my code editing on my mac, so I'm checking out TextMate (thanks to the glory of web fortress, my actual DF instance is offsite)

I believe there was a color scheme someone had specifically devised for raw editing. Even if it doesn't solve the problem directly (it'd still be on a white bg I believe) the text would be coloured - not to mention that I hear it makes modding much easier. I'll try to find it, unless someone happens to have a link ready; I'm afraid I don't remember the exact name of the thread. One sec.

Text mate has been treating me pretty nice, with the exception of the fact that I've not yet figured out how to change the font color. Auto indents and auto brackets, nice slate colored background. Very easy on the eyes.

I think this works with Textmate too. If not, Sublime is gooooood.
