Urban Xcode Screenshot

Urban is an Xcode theme that uses a soft dark background, with subtle blue, orange and yellow colors.

Formerly known as ǝɹɐǝqʎǝuoɔ, this theme has been downloaded an astounding 14317 times since the first release, so we decided to make the name a bit more official, make it open-source and put it up on Github.

Installation

The easiest way to install is to use the Alcatraz package manager for Xcode. Go to the colors section and click the install icon next to "Urban".

You can also install manually using these commands in Terminal:

Xcode 4, 5

mkdir -p ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/FontAndColorThemes;
cd ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/FontAndColorThemes;
curl -O http://raw.github.com/UrbanApps/Urban/blob/master/Urban.dvtcolortheme

Xcode 3

mkdir -p ~/Library/Application\ Support/Xcode/Color\ Themes;
cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Xcode/Color\ Themes;
curl http://raw.github.com/UrbanApps/Urban/blob/master/Urban.xccolortheme

Restart Xcode and you should be good to go. Enjoy!

Lastly, I run a small software company called Urban Apps. It pays the bills so I can take the time to write helpful things like Urban. If you found this page helpful at all, I would really appreciate it if you would check out my Apps on the iTunes App Store.
