Notepad++ DuoTone Dark: 5 clean themes

webketje

Hi all,

I ported 5 themes available on Atom/ VS Code to Notepad++, adapted from https://github.com/sallar/vscode-duotone-dark. You can find them and follow updates on development at webketje/notepad-plus-plus-duotone-dark-theme.

Screenshot

Install

Download the latest 7zip or zip release from Releases and extract it to your Notepad++ themes directory.
You can also extract the themes somewhere else, start Notepad++ and import them through the Settings menu, Import > Import style theme(s)…

Install NPP

Languages

Currently supports: HTML, XML, YML, PHP, Python, Javascript, JSON, CSS, SCSS, batch, ini, Python
Unsupported languages that are available in Zenburn theme will be displayed ok.

Config files

Currently supports: .env, .prettierrc, .eslintrc, .gitmodules, .gitattributes

Development

You need NodeJS. Clone the repo, run npm install, tweak theme.xml, then run npm run build. npm run zip will also create a ZIP & 7Zip archive in the /dist folder, however you will need to install 7-Zip first.

Please report issues/bugs, feature requests and suggestions for improvements to the issue tracker or here on the forums.

Enjoy!

Here is a preview of the Markdown UDL in “Forest” flavour:

Note that under Settings > Style Configuration, all the “Enable global font/size/bold/italic” should be unchecked.

Markdown UDL preview

This style is still likely to undergo tweaks (for example code blocks will be in monospace). In a next release, I will also add support for Dockerfile’s and potentially Handlebars templates.

Not bad! Do you plan to develop / port any of the lighter themes? GitHub-like would be neat.

@asvc well it’s called DuoTone Dark ^^ for a reason. Kidding aside, the build process is based on 5-8 color variables, so you could invert the dark with the light colors easily, or define a new scheme.

Not sure the setup would be enough to emulate the Github theme… It would probably look quite different.
