Hi Guys

When I look on Tutorials to do with coding, the people that created the tutorial often use Mac Computers. The Coding Font on that is sooo great !

Is there anyway I can get that exact font look on Windows ?

Thanks

The most important things for a font to show code is
- Make a difference between 1 and lower case L and capital i; is Ill ill or 111 or III or lll depending on the font it may be confusing
- make . and ; and : show clearly (some fonts don't make these very bold but Courier New is better than most.

I use Courier New which is also a Mac font.

The font in the image is called Consolas. But another mono-spaced font, like courier, would give a similar effect.

Thanks Guys

That Consolas font is what I was after.

The default code view in Dreamweaver is all white and it hurts my eyes after 30 minutes of coding. :(

Has anyone edited the colours in their Dreamweaver so that Code View is dark like the screenshot above ? If so I'd greatly appreciate a copy of the [ Colors.xml ] file located in:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\DreamweaverCS4\<language>\Configuration

I know you can do this manually but it takes such a long time to do it for each language. CSS, XHTML, PHP and Javascript.

I'd greatly appreciate any help. OR if you know of any other programs that have a Dark Code view as default ..that too would work.

Thank You.
