I thought I'd share my notepad++ color scheme...
This works in notepad++ v5.9.4

Put the userDefineLang.xml file into your notepad++ directory (or appdata notepad++ directory).
Restart notepad++ if it is already running.
Open an autohotkey script that has a .ahk extension.
Select Language / AHK AutoHotkey.
Select Settings / Style Configurator / Zenburn theme.
Select Settings / Style Configurator / Global Style / Default Style - Font = Consolas 10pt
I also have those global enables unchecked (global font, global font size, global bold...)

I highly recommend you turn on "ClearType" font smoothing for windows.
Go to you windows display properties (control panel) and find the Appearance tab and click the Effects button.
Enable and select cleartype for screen font smoothing!

Nice look, think I'll try it thanks :-)

For whatever reason I can't get this to work on v.5.8.5

Puzzling

Sorry, make sure you select the zenburn theme in notepad++ style configurator.

[Relayer]

Thanks, that was it.

[x79animal]

cant find it as a theme...

put it at

C:\Program Files\Notepad++\userdefinelang.xml

[panofish]

Yes.. put the userDefineLang.xml file into your notepad++ directory.
You may have to merge this file with your own if you already have some user defined languages in your xml file.

Then select Settings / Style Configurator / Zenburn theme

Finally, select Language / AHK AutoHotkey

[x79animal]

Yes.. put the userDefineLang.xml file into your notepad++ directory.

nope the theme just isnt showing up....

[panofish]

Hard to believe they would have removed all the themes.
I'm running 5.6.7 at home and a newer copy at work (don't know exact version)

Here's my list of themes that came with notepad++.

I tried this out and it is not working for me as well. I put the theme to Zenburn and the .xml is in both the Notepad++ directory and the Themes directory.

Also, the xml provided doesn't look complete.

[panofish]

OK... I did a fresh test with the latest versions of notepad++ 5.8.6 (unicode and ansi versions). This also worked with my previous version 5.8.3.

I put the userDefineLang.xml file into the notepad++ directory.
Restart notepad++ if it is already running.
Open an autohotkey script that has a .ahk extension.
Select Language / AHK AutoHotkey.
Select Settings / Style Configurator / Zenburn theme.

The color coding works fine.

I like this theme a lot thanks. not emo dark, not hard-to-see light.

Just a couple mods and I'm almost happy.


edit: may I suggest you post the xml code in here, in code tags? just incase that site ever goes down. Maybe even submit it to notepad++ to include AHK in the language menu. or maybe just as a download on there site.

edit2: Been using it for a little while now and noticed a lot of keywords are missing. :?

Which keywords?

[Cragaha]

Been using this one for a while, I just changed the keywords list, I think they are all there now..

Thanks a million panofish, very nice scheme

[panofish]

Updated to include most missing ahk keywords.
Tweaked and added some colors in the scheme.
Updated the screenshot image.
