Tom’s dark DW dark code colorization for Dreamweaver

posted in Dreamweaver  by

Are you coding in Dreamweaver and don’t like the default light code colorization? I created dark background color theme for Dreamweaver.  I took inspiration from Green Chaud theme for Aptana IDE.

Don't hurt your eyes with white background! Try out my dark theme.
