Can I set the text editor theme to Monokai?

Post by Ants473 »

I am just wondering where I might be able to find text editor themes for codelite? I'm after the Monokai theme.

Does it (by chance) generate an xml so once it's created I can back it up/move it to my laptop/share with the world?

Read this post for creating new theme

The file you modified is:
If you are under linux, the file is under: ~/.codelite/lexers/
Under windows it will be under: %appdata%\CodeLite\lexers\

Thank you.

I've done the C++ portion (which is all I wish to do) as much as I could. Please feel free to change/share as you wish:
