Aptana Studio 3 - code coloring like in Dreamweaver

I'm trying to use Aptana Studio 3 instead of phpEd. But I'd like to have the code coloring like in Dreamweaver. I made these changes in phpEd, but I can't find where to change it in Aptana.

Also, I installed the jquery bundle, but I can't to get it working...

Thanks for your help.

Could you finally get your theme? If you want to create your own theme then first go to: Window->Preferences->Aptana Studio->Themes

  • To create a new theme just click on the "+" sign next to the themes list.
  • To add elements to your new theme right click the text in your editor and click Commands->Bundle Development->Show scope.
  • Copy the last section you see to the right of the hint window that appears.
  • In the themes elements list click the "+" located at the bottom of the dialog box (next to "Scope selector")
  • Give a friendly name to your new element.
  • Assign foreground/background colors to your new element.
  • Paste the element's scope in the "Scope selector" input box (make sure your new element is selected, if not, click on it).

I created a theme for PHP, CSS, HTML, JS and XML editors, similar to the old aptana 2 colors. If you want to get it you can write me to jgarcias.cr at gmail dot com.

Cheers.

There's actually a ticket already filed to add a theme that matches Dreamweaver: https://aptana.lighthouseapp.com/projects/35272/tickets/1508-create-dreamweaver-color-theme

I'm looking at it now, but I'm running into some internal bugs (namely https://aptana.lighthouseapp.com/projects/35272-studio/tickets/2357-scope-selectors-with-portion-prefix-match-arent-matching-properly) that I need to fix before I can finish. In any case it should be in Studio 3.0.2 and hopefully I'll fix it today and it'll be in tomorrow's nightly (here's how to get nightly builds: http://wiki.appcelerator.org/display/tis/Changing+the+Update+Type).

As for editing themes yourself, you can see the current scope at the cursor by doing Commands > Bundle Development > Show Scope. Then use scope selectors that match that sort of scope (we adopt Textmate's scoping/theming rules: http://manual.macromates.com/en/scope_selectors)

Preferences:Aptana:Themes. Figuring out what keyword corresponds to what display object can be a bit tricky, but it is all there.
