Just wondering if there are any plans for the code view to have theme support.

It would be nice to create a theme called "don't change anything in red" for my co-workers :)

What do you mean by theme support? You can already use your preferences to change the code colours if that is what you mean. Just go to Tools > Preferences > Cutomization

right, but i'm asking if there are plans to support a theme or color scheme instead of having to set colors for each element of each language style

something like Tools > Preferences > Customization > Select Color Scheme

in place of selecting the language from the drop list, clicking modify highlighting and then setting colors for all the elements

A recent discussion along these lines demonstrated that different people use the colour customization for different reasons, and because of that, do not all have the same requirements. A global change would not be useful to all, which is why it is preferable to be able to select the language types separately.

Besides, CoffeeCup has an excellent little tool for creating colour schemes: Website colour Schemer. Check it out!

The Colour Scheemer does only create a colour scheme, not code. You have to insert the colour hexadecimals into the editor, in the styles.

i believe you...

but a web site color scheme isn't what i was asking about

Janys addressed it though and I do appreciate it.
