Customized Ruby Blue Theme for Notepad++
I’ve been a big fan of Notepad++ for quite a while, but it wasn’t until I discovered the Ruby Blue theme that I totally fell in love.
Ruby Blue was originally designed for TextMate, the leading text editor for the Mac OS, and was modeled after the code sections of http://ruby-lang.org.
I’ve always had a thing for the color blue, and Ruby Blue’s combination of muted blue-tone colors and eye-catching highlights for reserved words and operators looked simply perfect to my eyes.
The latest versions of Notepad++ comes with a bunch of themes, and Ruby Blue is one of them. But the problem with the default theme is that the syntax highlighting is strangely missing for most of the popular languages (i.e. C/C++, Java, Perl, etc).
So I tweaked it around a bit to include these missing languages… and it’s looking good so far!

The as-installed Ruby Blue theme wasn’t doing syntax highlighting for me for Ruby, let alone other langs. Your version fixes that, and I needed a good number of other langs too, so big kudos for the effort & sharing!
Thanks,
