My first PC monitor was monochrome (b/w not amber) with an Hercules graphics card (720 âˆšÃ³ 348!)

For me it seems that the colors reflect some 80ies / arcade playing background. Again, all that not possible in your usual ABAP development environment. Lucky guys you are.

PS: Does someone remember amber monitors?

I will play around with colors for parameters (although my methods are usually pretty short), thanks.

if think first of all one need different colors for:
– parameter color
– local variable color
– instance field color

so onecan see where he uses what

but i also use the usage-highlighting although your colors are too aggressive for me.

i also tried once to build a TextMate brilliance-black-espresso whatever like theme with IDEA but
failed. i think darker backgrounds are better for me, so i should try once again
