Aptana 3 PHP var colours not updating with theme - colors

How can I get my php vars to match whatever theme I am running. They seem to stay black even if I switch to say.. Choco or nightlion themes. It's really annoying and I just can't see anywhere in the theme menus how to change php var colours.
Any help much appreciated :)

I found the setting! (On a mac, it appears this might be different on other os's)
Prefs > PHP > Editor > Syntax Coloring.
From here I was able to alter the variables etc colours for PHP docs

Sublime Text 3 Theme Tabs-font

After I installed and activated Ayu theme,tabs look ugly,
see here
How can i fix it?
Change theme instead, I personally like Eiffel. Do give a try.
And if you still want to use the same theme and want to change the color of the tab, Do refer to this link https://forum.sublimetext.com/t/how-do-i-change-the-background-tab-color-its-too-subtle/4673 Hope it helped.
So basically, You'll need to edit the appropriate images within the /Packages/Theme - Default/ folder

Trigger different iterm color scheme when entering vim

I'm fairly new to Vim but I have been always using iTerm as my main terminal.
I'm on OSX as you may expect and I have a theme defined for iTerm, but I wanted to know if it is possible to trigger a different theme when I enter on Vim. In this case I'm using Homebrew theme as my main iTerm theme, but when I enter Vim I want it to change the theme to Cobalt2 (only for the window with Vim).
Thanks in advance.
I wanted to know if it is possible to trigger a different theme when I enter on Vim.
Yes, you can change it using :colorscheme scheme_name, But cobalt2 scheme does not seem to be shipped by default. You can iterate the list by :colo <TAB>.
For setting it permenantly, we need to set it in ~/.vimrc.
In this case I'm using Homebrew theme as my main iTerm theme, but when I enter Vim I want it to change the theme to Cobalt2 (only for the window with Vim).
Apparently, cobalt2 is not shipped by default on vim, Hence we need to install it first.
The usual procedure is to place the sheme file in ~/.vim/colors. Create the colors folder, if not existing in ~/.vim.
Google search give few links like cobalt2-vim. If this does not help, then you might like to pick a colorscheme of your liking from here.
This might not exactly solves your query but hopes. it helps

Vim Colors Bright/Faded in iTerm2, but not in Macvim

My screen looks like this when I open vim in iTerm2, when it is supposed to look like this.
When I open vim in Macvim, it looks as it is supposed to.
I have tried:
Suggestions from here, including getting the latest nightly build of iTerm2 and the newest iTerm themes
The first answer from here, which is to insert hi Normal ctermbg=16 in my vimrc
Does anyone have any ideas for diagnosis or solving this?
Thanks in advance.
The colorscheme you are using depends on the 16 "ANSI" (yes I know, there's no such thing as "ANSI" colors and so on but that's how they are called everywhere so let's keep it simple and… incorrect, shall we?) defined in your terminal emulator.
If you want Vim to look like that screenshot, you'll need to set up iTerm to use that colorscheme's specific colors. This could be done manually but the author has added a preset to his repo.
How to use a preset:
Preferences… → Profiles → your current profile → Colors
Load Presets… → Import…
Choose the bundled preset
Load Presets… → coffee

Changing Gantry v4 menu color

I can't seem to figure out how to change the menu color or add a background to the menu bar in Gantry 4 for Joomla. Tired of the gray or dark gray default.
I could change the font and selection through the .less file but not the menu itself.
The documentation on the Gantry website is too general.
Thank You in advance.
Also check: menu-light.less & menu-dark.less in the less\ directory.
The folks at RocketTheme don't recommend editing the compiled CSS (but it works great as #Adriana pointed out).
Hi Gantry framework for joomla as you probably notice uses Less to really understand how to change things on the template you first have to learn how less works even that Gantry compiles the less files for you. Less it is fantastic so it worth it. Basically you use a code to define css in a clever way much more economic and then you compile this into more efficient css files
If you change the compiled files as our friends are saying here make not sense at all because as soon you compile again (and you will) this files will be override and all your work lose.
I will give you the direction and you will see that it is not that difficult as look.
1- check the menu you had selected on your Gantry template under Templates Manager - Style - menu style.
2- on your less folder you will see a less file for each of the menu styles with the main variables
for example menu-dark.less try to make sense of the variables and the colors and change them to see what is what.
3- on the same folder you have menu.less and there is where the magic is done using the variables from the previous file. You will see that for example define first level of menu you will have something like:
&.l1 {
> li.active {
background: #menuActiveBack;
So that menuActiveBack variable will be the background value of the active li of the level 1.
4- the last part will be the menu-hovers.less that i thinks it is over complicate things because it is not a need to have a different file to do the hovers but there it is.
You can control CSS compression, Compile Wait Time and Debug Header, as well as manually clear the cache with the Clear Cache button at Extensions → Template Manager → gantry → Advanced → Less Compiler.

Hope it helps to start with....
Happy coding,
Eduardo
it took me a while maybe half an hour to go through the "menu" css file in the "css-compiled" folder.
You can find all the css to alter the background and colors of Gantry's default menu.. I'm using Gantry v4 also.
Go here:
Joomla>templates>gantry>css-compiled>menu-675c76.....
Please view my image to see my results:

Use FireBug or similar to find the default CSS styling.
Create a file /templates/gantry/css/gantry-custom.css and add your own CSS to override the default CSS.
This is a better method than editing compiled or other template less or css files which can be overwritten during compilation or when the template is updated.

Anybody else find Visual Studio 2012 hard to read?

I find the new UI very hard to look at after a few minutes. They seem to have gone to give it a low-contrast look so reading the text is very difficult.
Anybody found a workaround to get a VS2010 look but still take advantage of the new stuff in .net 4.5?
Change theme to Light to Dark. (Options > Environment > General)
Change toolbar font / BG colour. (Options > Environment > Fonts & Colours)
Try to use themes.
