In the beginning of web development a lot of people are creating their code-files with Adobe Dreamweaver, a standard tool for beginners and designers, because it is in the Adobe Collection, but no solution for serious programmers. When a programmer leaves the text-editors and graphical-editors behind to use a serious IDE there are a lot of possibilities like Netbeans, Zend, Eclipse, Visual Studio and so on.

My choice for developing web applications is Eclipse with the Aptana Plugin. This is really comfortable for PHP-Development, but i always hated the boring and ugly built-in syntax highlighting. Searching on the internet for a nice color scheme was leading to some quite nice results, but I was missing the nice, clear and colourful syntax highlighting of the Dreamweaver, so I decided to create a color scheme similar to it. Example:
