Change Code Color Scheme - Dreamweaver CS6 Mac


I find the standard color scheme for Adobe Dreamweaver to be aggravatingly bland and worthless. I found a color scheme online that is supposed to imitate the ever popular Monokai code color scheme for Dreamweaver. The download is a .zip file that has a readme file and Colors.xml. From what I've read, this process should be very simple:

  1. Make sure Dreamweaver is closed.
  2. Go to Dreamweaver's Configuration folder and then into the subfolder of Code Coloring.
  3. Rename the original Colors.xml file to something else.
  4. Then copy and paste the new Colors.xml file into the folder and you should be good to go...

The problem is that I wasn't good to go because I opened up to see the same bright white color scheme with blue code. I read further that sometimes the above process doesn't work as described and that removing the original file and then replacing it with the color scheme you want will get it to work. However, that didn't work either. Anything I do seems to have no effect on the color scheme... I'm becoming very impatient with this and am curious if anyone on here has any solutions?


Solution

  • If you want, you can create a custom theme by going to File > Preferences > Code Coloring. Hopefully that helps and probably faster than importing a theme.
