Your poor peepers. Too much white all day long. Not only should you do this, you should use Blackle instead of regular Google to save on energy (alternatively, you can use iGoogle and just pick a darker theme). I’ve gone through and replaced the backgrounds with black and white text with CCC. Some colors (009 and 00F) have been slightly adjusted (039 and 03F) for better contrast. Other than those, the greens, reds, oranges, etc are the same. Make sure to enable “Highlight Invalid Code” or lines containing unclosed tags and the like will change to black text. Screen cap

Backup “colors.xml” in the following folder.

Vista: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\<language>\Configuration

Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\<language>\Configuration

Mac OS X: Macintosh HD:<username>:Library:Application Support:Adobe:Dreamweaver CS4:<language>:Configuration

Then replace it with this: colors.rar. Should be ready to rock.

Oh, on a side note, the font Anonymous is great for coding, very easy to read. I like it on the smallest font size setting.
