Notepad++ Styling/Theming

[Sirupsen]

Hello! I wrote a small guide on how to style.

Notepad++ is an awesome free open source editor as we all know, but.. one problem with it for me is that there's noone really making themes for it, so I had to make those myself, but.. I suck at that! So, I googled around for something - I found a few themes, but the selections were few. I fell upon a lot of Textmate themes, I noticed those were all XML - so I thought maybe there could be some kind of converter, and there sure were. A smaller guide on how to do this:

Find a theme for Textmate you like, there's thousands around! You can just look at TmThemes.com or here if you don't know any other site.

Download the theme you want, open it in Notepad++, copy the XML there, close down Notepad++.

Go here. And paste the XML from the Textmate Skin into the field, and then hit "Download".

Go into Notepad++'s app data folder (CTRL - R, and enter: %AppData%/Notepad++)

Backup and delete the file called "styler(.xml)", go to wherever you downloaded the file from the converter - rename it to "styler" (it should be .xml already), and put it to the folder where you deleted the old styler(.xml) (at %AppData%/Notepad++).

Win! We just converted, a Textmate theme to a Notepad++ styler theme! You can now open Notepad++ and it should look like the Textmate theme! Here's mine:



Hope this was useful to you guys! I didn't know about it myself until now!
