It seems like almost everybody has their own favorite UI theme to use in Atom, VS Code, Sublime, Textmate, etc. Share what your code editor looks like. Donβt be shy! π
Here is my Atom UI setup:
I jump between a variety of Dark themes, but my current favorite is [nord-atom-ui](https://atom.io/themes/nord-atom-ui) and [nord-atom-syntax](https://atom.io/themes/nord-atom-syntax).

Iβve fairly recently switched from primarily using Sublime Text to Visual Studio Code. I figured it was a good time to re-evaluate my preferences for a color scheme rather than using the default, which I had been doing with Sublime. But it turns out I prefer, or simply have gotten too accustomed to the Sublime default (Monokai) so I had to get a variation of that for Code.

Iβve always had a problem with deciding on syntax coloring. About 5 weeks ago I caught some kind of virus (not the computer kind!) that, among other things was killing my eyes in light, indoor florescent lights, and especially computer monitors.
At that time I downloaded a few themes for flash develop, looking at it now I guess I settled on MonokaiDarkSoda, which seems to be different than MonokaiDarkSoda-theme, at least in my folder. I seem to recall downloading some that were modified but I dont know.
Anyway looks like this for me, slightly different than senoculars

Before that dark theme i always just accepted a programs default, which is of course bright white. We recently had a thread here about monitor size and resolution, and thats one downside im feeling in my setup. A few large monitors are like looking at the sun, even when dimmed down, add a white background to them and it just hurts!

I just use the default in RStudio. The time it would take to change the theme would probably be more than I actually spend coding.

Id like to think that means its really hard to change themes in rstudio

I use Sublime Text 3 as my main editor for most of the things. I use solarized dark as the color scheme and ayu mirage as the theme. I write Clojure at work (and for fun as well π) so I have, some additional packages for bracket highlight, rainbow brackets etc.
Screenshot with some sample code:
I refuse to use Emacs which everyone else uses, but I think it requires more than ten fingers π
