color filters available?

Hello.

I'm experimenting several versions of my own colored filters but scrapped them all after being not satisfied, so I'm asking if some users are open to post their color filters in editor mode-friendly format so I can experiment more and try to adapt to some time-proven stuff.
No special requirements, just the thing you are used to.
Thanks in advance.

The first thing I do is change the "system" from highlighted to low-lighted! These should stay out of the way, not be in-your-face. So I make it grey.

I also make directories beginning with "." grey, as these are the SVN and GIT directories.

I modified the "modified today" to be a more subtle green background with black text. But then added "ageM <= 5n // very fresh" as a bolder green background, so I can see at a glance that my build rebuilt, or which files I just saved.

thanks for the reply, JD&...

I am expecting more in a fashion like:

Code: Select all

+ageM: d //modified today>FFFFFF,74C622
My main issue is splitting in groups like 30 m, 1 h, 2h, 12h, 1d, 2d, 1w, 1m and getting an easy to the eyes chromatic scale.

I got this on forum search but I'm still not happy and that's why I'm asking for alternatives:

Code: Select all

+ageM:<5 n //m|>FFFFFF,006000
+ageM:<10 n //m|>C1C1C1,207020
+ageM:<15 n //m|>8F8F8F,407040
+ageM:<30 n //m|>4E4E4E,509050
+ageM:<45 n //m|>000000,50A050
+ageM:<2 h //m|>804040,70A070
+ageM:<6 h //m|>DF7000,70C070
+ageM:<8 h //m|>FFDBB7,90C090
+ageM:<1 d //m|>FFFFD5,A0C0A0
+ageM:<2 d //m|>FF8040,A0E0A0
+ageM:<5 d //m|>FF8080,C0E0C0
+ageM:<7 d //m|>FF0000,C0FFC0
ageC: d //created today>FFFFFF,74C622
ageM: < 1 h>FFFFFF,006000
ageM: < 6 h>FFFF80,207020
ageM:<12 h>FF8040,408040
ageM:<1 d>,60A060
ageM:<2 d>,80C080
ageM:<4 d>,A0E0A0
ageM:<1 w>,C0FFC0

I did only this:

Code: Select all

+ageM: d //modified today>000000,9BE155
+ageM: 1  d //modified yesterday>000000,BFEC93
+ageM: <=5  d //modified 5 days ago>000000,E0F8CB
I know it is not a big thing... But I realized I could "decode" 3 or 4 tone by my eyes with one quick look...

Yes I see.
My approach was: the lighter letters on heavier backgrounds are opposed to heavier letters on lighter bgs. The balance is not satisfying me, certain combinations are hard on the eyes... :s
