This was very cool, but it needs a simple change, it needs a way of changing the text color independently of the background color. Perhaps holding the mouse button would be text color preferred and not holding it would be background preferred or something.
That said, I would love a page that had some ipso-lorem type code C, Perl, js, C++, Java, Etc where each click would change the 'type' of element (keyword, comment, etc) and you could mouse around to set the color. Then right click and download the vim color scheme.
There is a custom syntax color theme maker for Visual Studio here: http://studiostyl.es/schemes/create. Its user interface is pretty close to what you’re describing. And there might be some way to convert Visual Studio color themes for use with other editors.
However, that page is not very good for creating dark-background themes. It’s missing a bunch of styles that I saw fairly often in C# code, and their default light colors look awful on a dark background.
i would love to see this applied in a sort of CSS zen garden way where a simple layout's color scheme is updated continuously based off of moving your mouse around.
I would love for it to stay as simple and barebones as it is and not accrete crufty features such as applying the color theme to vacuous stuff like a generic layout on generic text/code, that is not representative of where I will use it anyway, and it won't know which color I'll use for what.
