The first thing I had to do after building my first Arduino kit (a RBBB from moderndevice.com) was to change the eye-scorching default color scheme to something better suited for the cave-like environment I keep my computer in. I’m a big fan of ZenBurn (originally created here) and use it as the default for just about any program that’s going to require a lot of staring at tiny lines of text.

Installation is simple, follow the instructions included and your eyes will be thanking you in no time. [ Download ZenBurn for the Arduino IDE ]
