Xcode Color Themes


This is a small collection of my personal preference of color themes for xcode programming environment. For those who are looking for a dark theme. You can chose from one of the following color themes. I’m currently using teliaz theme, it has been tested and works very smoothly.

To get

teliaz theme

run the following code in Terminal:

mkdir -p ~/Library/Application\ Support/Xcode/Color\ Themes; cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Xcode/Color\ Themes; curl http://teliaz.com/files/apple/TeliazTheme.xccolortheme &> TeliazTheme.xccolortheme

To get

Ego theme

run the following code in Terminal:

mkdir -p ~/Library/Application\ Support/Xcode/Color\ Themes; cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Xcode/Color\ Themes; curl http://teliaz.com/files/apple/XCodeColorTheme.xccolortheme &> EgoTheme.xccolortheme

“EGO” uses the font “DejaVu Sans Mono” at 12pt. Some of you may know it as “Panic Sans” from Panic’s Coda (which is a repackaged version of it). You can grab the font over at dejavu-fonts.org. If you already have Code installed, feel free to swap in Panic Sans in place of DejaVu Sans Mono.

To get

Humane Theme

run the following code in Terminal:

mkdir -p ~/Library/Application\ Support/Xcode/Color\ Themes; cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Xcode/Color\ Themes; curl http://teliaz.com/files/apple/Humane.xccolortheme &> Humane.xccolortheme

Now just restart Xcode, go to Preferences > Fonts & Colors, and select “one of these themes” from the color theme drop down. Hope you like it!! Happy coding…
