gedit color scheme

How do I make my own color scheme?

In the prior releases of gedit you could set the background and text colors. Now it appears that you must use some form of defined color scheme. I don't like the four supplied. When I click to add a scheme it only allows me to find a pre-made scheme file. I can't figure out how to make my own color scheme. How do I do that? Can you at least provide a file name for an included scheme so I can figure it out for myself? It appears that these scheme files have a unique extension. Even that would help.

This is a new framework for style schemes support that is being developed and the old functionality is being replaced with the new. In the near future there will be a graphical scheme editor but that doesn't exist yet unfortunatly. All you can do at the moment is create a new xml file your self based off of what's already there. You can find the existing schemes (tango, oblivion, kate etc) in:

/usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/styles/

And you can edit these as you please but remember to save them under a different name before you do anything!

Once everything has matured this new method will be MUCH better imo. How about marking this as solved if it is.

Thanks Alan Mc, that solved my question.

I created a scheme color based on dreamweaver:

Just save and add this XML on gedit's scheme colors by clicking Edit->Preferences -> font & colors tab.
