Gruvbox for Xcode

How to Install

1. Create Xcode custom themes folder: ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/FontAndColorThemes/

   $ mkdir -p ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/FontAndColorThemes/
   

2. Download *.dvtcolortheme files to this folder.

3. Restart Xcode. Gruvbox dark and light themes will appear in Fonts & Colors list in Xcode Preferences.

Alternatively, you can also create symbolic links to your copy of Xcode *.dvtcolortheme files inside FontAndColorThemes folder.

For example,

1. Clone gruvbox-contrib
2. cd gruvbox-contrib/xcode
3. Then

   ln -s `pwd`/"Gruvbox Dark (SF Mono 11).dvtcolortheme" ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/FontAndColorThemes/"Gruvbox Dark (SF Mono 11).dvtcolortheme"
   

If you are using fish shell, you can use this loop,

for file in *
    echo $file
    ln -s ""(pwd)/$file ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/FontAndColorThemes/$file""
end

Xcode themes have fonts embedded in them. Follow these steps to change font or font size,
