[kronomia]

Dear Programmers,

Since we spend long hours in front of the screen, a good trusted color syntax theme is necessary. Here is a well tested color theme based on the famous Oblivion style.

How to Install the Theme?

Step 0: Make sure that Code::Blocks is closed along with all its associated files.
Step 1: Navigate to: ~/.codeblocks/
Step 2: Locate the Default configuration file: default.conf
Step 3: Edit the file using your favorite editor.
Step 4: Locate the <colour_sets> </colour_sets> tags.
Step 5: Copy the above code to replace those tags.
Step 6: Save the file.

Note: I have attached my default.conf file for further assistance.

Nice theme, although it does not look good on Windows XP(where almost everything is white).
