Gray Color Theme

Hello all,

In the interest of reducing eye-strain, I made a gray color theme for the editor. The VisualStudioDark theme was better than the default white, but sometimes even dark themes are too high-contrasty for my liking. This theme is essentially half way between the two.

If, like me, your eyes crave a softer look, you're welcome to use it too. There are two versions: one using the VisualStudioDark theme's colors for the script editor, which is nice when balanced out by the rest of AGS in gray, as well as a version with lighter script editor colors.

Download here and import the theme(s) via the Preferences menu in AGS.

Enjoy!

Really nice theme! I think the gray script is a bit hard to read.

Thanks for the feedback. I've tweaked the light script version to make the script editor's background a touch lighter for better readability. I don't think I'd want to push it much more though, since the goal is low contrast.

I've updated the link above with the new files. Please re-download to check it out.

thank you, that is better. I did an additional change in GrayTones(LightScript).json, in the script-editor -> text-editor -> word-2, I changed the foreground color to the following:
Code: ags
        "foreground": {
          "r": 40,
          "g": 115,
          "b": 140,
          "a": 255
        }

Hi all,

I've updated these themes for newer versions of AGS (tested up to 3.6.1 RC 5), as the tool bar was appearing differently than in 3.5.1.

You can download them here: https://github.com/imagazzell/AGS-Color-Themes/releases/download/GrayTones-v1.2/GrayTones-v1.2.zip

@eri0o If you're the one who previously added the themes to the official repository, you might want to update them there as well.


I also have another theme that uses the dark script look of GrayTones(DarkScript), but otherwise replicates the overall look of the default light theme.

That one can be downloaded here: https://github.com/imagazzell/AGS-Color-Themes/releases/download/DarkScript-v1.2/DarkScript-v1.2.zip

I started using the dark grey version today, and it's very good! Much easier on the eyes. Thanks for making it. :)
