Schemes for Linux

Create syntax highlighting schemes

Overview

Schemes is a software tool designed for Linux users who want to create custom syntax highlighting schemes.

Syntax highlighting helps make code easier to read by coloring different parts of the text based on the programming language.

Schemes works with applications that use GtkSourceView, like Builder and Text Editor, making it useful for developers who want to personalize their coding environment.

This tool is especially good for users who work on Linux and use GtkSourceView-based apps, since it supports creating new style schemes that these apps can apply.

However, Schemes only works on the Linux platform, so it is not available for Windows or macOS.

Also, there is no information about whether it supports applications that do not use GtkSourceView, so your options might be limited if you use other editing software.

In summary, Schemes helps you customize syntax highlighting on Linux with apps built around GtkSourceView.

If you want to create your own color schemes to improve code readability and are using supported apps like Builder or Text Editor, Schemes offers a straightforward way to do that.

Keep in mind this tool is best for Linux users and may not work with all programming editors outside the GtkSourceView family.

Pros

  • Enables creation of syntax highlighting schemes.
  • Compatible with GtkSourceView-based applications like Builder and Text Editor.

Cons

  • Limited to Linux platform.
  • No information on support for non-GtkSourceView applications.
