#000 or #111 code editor background

[mfidemraizer]

Hey. I find the color scheme pleasant for me, but may you also publish a darker flavor with #000 or #111 editor background color?

Editor background color is the most critical thing in a theme. If the background color changes, the hue and brightness of all remaining colors need to be re-commissioned to match, including various interface elements colors and various code character colors. Even after all above is completed, I will need to maintain a more theme since then. That's a huge task.

Sorry, I can't meet this request.

Hi! Thank you for the quick answer.

I was looking for something like the following pic. It's just I need a darker editor background. Everything else may be as is:

Give me a day, I will give you a rough set of settings to match the background color you want. Not change the theme plugin, just your personal settings.

Yup! Thanks. I still don't find a reason to explain why most dark themes don't use #000 or #111 as background color.

I've been using Tomorrow Night Bright. Yours feels better for me because the other colors are cooler and less brighter than others'.

Anyway, it's my personal preference :)

In #000 background, the contrasts of code characters colors are too strong, which are harmful to eyes. So I only made #111 version. Paste the following text into user settings and use it with Eva Dark (Bold). Hope it helps.

Hey, thanks! ;-)

Actually my screen is set up to has 0 brightness. Probably this contributes to preserve my eyes even with #000 :D

I've already pasted it. It looks nice.

Are you going to publish it as part of Eva theme?

[fisheva]

No...I like the current version of Eva Dark : )
