I really do love the fun IDE colors.

Does anyone else switch IDE themes depending on the project? Whenever I started a new project I would choose a new theme to go with it.

    I don’t have any colors to suggest but I do have two fonts to recommend.

    1. Comic Code is a hand drawn monospaced font that invokes the feeling of Comic Sans without looking bad on modern monitors. I love it. The downside is that it isn’t free, but if you’re interested,
    2. Fantasque Sans Mono is the same idea but free.

    These two fonts just make things feel a little more human and whimsical in a way I can’t fully explain and I love them.

    Also, about color themes, never let anyone.ake fun of you for using a light theme. Sometimes they’re better. It’s not so simple as dark or light, some tools have awful light themes or awful dark themes.

      I Like Input Sans for programming. iA Writer Quattro is similar to that. Now, I use for programming Recursive, a variable font with variable monospacedness among others. It has a configurator where all axes and features can be fixed for better compatibility.
