Dark theme - contribution
oBFusCATed:
A theme can make it in trunk, only if it has been implemented for most of the languages we support.
A C/C++ only theme is useless most of the times.
Alpha:
A future idea someone could consider, if they have the programming time, is to change lexers so instead of (or maybe in addition to) taking color parameters for each item, they take a variable name ex. "MainKeyword", "LightComment", "Operator",...
Then creating a new theme could be done for all languages by creating a new color set of definitions for the variables.

Ouch. I see Code::Blocks as a C/C++ IDE. How come "A C/C++ only theme is useless most of the times"?
There are 45 languages listed in Settings/Editor.../Syntax highlighting. It's a daunting task to create a new theme that supports "only", say, 15 of those. If by "most" you mean at least half, it becomes discouraging.
How about the dev team runs a poll to find out what languages people use most in Code::Blocks?

Let it say another way: we cannot ship it in the installation, because it will be incomplete.
There have been a user that have done a perl script that does a theme conversion.

installing another theme from here so the OPs advice about backing it up is
sound.
Here is a comparison between SublimeText's monokai theme and
this one. Scintilla's lexer seems indeed limited.
That light blue (or is it teal? I am colour blind. :) ) colour for keywords
seem better suited but that's up to one's own taste I guess.
