I really do love the fun IDE colors.

Does anyone else switch IDE themes depending on the project? Whenever I started a new project I would choose a new theme to go with it.

I prefer original Comic Sans. How Comic Mono has all characters forced to the same width makes it uglier and less readable, especially capital letters.

Mono spaced fonts are used when writing code , usually. Or in a terminal emulator.

Right. But monospacedness is not a requirement for programming fonts. So I often promote proportional fonts for programming because they are better IMO. I mean that variable width allows fonts more potential to be good at what I want from fonts, not that every proportional font of better.
