DarkScintilla: dark scheme for Maxscript Editor

Tools 3ds Max
1

I sat down and created a dark scheme for the Max script editor. It’s inspired by other dark schemes available for other IDEs ( like “Oblivion” etc… ). Does most things in the user properties files and hence tweaks are more accessable now ( use of symbolic color names )

Anyway, be sure to keep backups of your original files…

Notes:

[ul]
[li]!!! BACKUP YOUR ORIGINAL FILES !!!
[/li][li] There is no adapted “html.properties”, so html display is not “recolored” -> see readme in the zip
[/li][li] This scheme uses Microsofts Consolas font, which is freely downloadable at MS ( see link inside the zip)
[/li][li] Changes can easily be done, just edit self-explaining symbolic color values in “MXS_EditorUser.properties”.
[/li][li] If you make some improvements and tweaks, please contact me and share and i will integrate them

Thanks for the nice comments - appreciated!

Have updated the DL link above to V1.2
Now comes as Maxscript install package and does some things differently … small color tweaks too
plus uninstall option etc…

Updated again to V1.2b

fixed an install error and a typo in the indent settings, thus i recommend updating. Otherwise auto-indenting will not work correctly on closing braces…

7

And updated to 1.2c

fixed another typo ( verbatim strings coloring related)
and made the caret color a darker gray…

same link to download :wink:
