Great gEdit Theme Repository

I'm a fan of light on dark backgrounds when writing or coding, and Githubber kalmi maintains a great collection of gEdit (the default text editor in Gnome) themes - they can be found here: https://github.com/kalmi/gedit-themes

To use, clone the repo into a temporary directory, using:
 git clone https://github.com/kalmi/gedit-themes.git 

Then copy them into a styles folder in the gEdit directory, using the install script from the repo:
 cd gedit-themes
 ./install.sh  

To use them, open gEdit, then go to Edit -> Preferences -> Fonts and Colours. The themes should now be available in the Colour Scheme scroll box.

Enjoy!
