Eclipse 4.x - Solarized CSS theme - css

With Eclipse 4 new support of CSS themes, I wanted to ask if anyone was able to port Solarized (http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized) to it. I'm not looking for a simple Color Switch in the editor, but rather the whole window.
If no one is able or willing, would you please point me to a reference for the Theme styling?
Thank you.

Your best shot would be to start from this plugin : https://github.com/eclipse-color-theme/eclipse-ui-themes
And then modify the CSS.
Here are some resources:

you could use the Aptana Studio plugin's out-of-the-box themes, and create or customize one to suite your needs (let alone to create a custom Solarized theme). these themes can be set to "invasive" mode to force theme to all views (not just the editor).
to do so, simply open Window / Preferences / Aptana Studio / Themes and play with the various attributes:
here's an example for a custom theme made using the Aptana themes, that mimics stackoverflow's Java highlighter:

Will "Hello Elementor" automatically convert SCSS to CSS

I've just started using the WordPress page builder "Elementor" and have decided to move from "Genesis" to their own theme called "Hello Elementor". However, their theme uses SCSS and GruntJS.
On their documentation, they've included a custom.scss for all the custom styling. But when you add anything to this via WordPress, nothing happens. I know I could download the theme and use Visual Studio Code to make changes and use a sass compiler to automatically compile this for me, but it would require me to constantly upload files via FTP. Ideally, I would like to stay away from this.
Is there something I am missing? Or something I could do for WordPress to automatically compile this for me?
Edit:
If anyone has any recommendations of other themes to use with Elementor, I would really appreciate it.
They removed this option in Hello Elementor. You can no longer integrate custom scss. And I don't know since which version it's not present anymore, considering that I've tried the latest two ones and none of them seemed to accept the scss custom file.
However, you can check the answer they gave me a few days ago on the Hello Elementor GitHub page, if you want.

Material Design Lite: Is Installation on Wordpress possible?

Random and probably dumb question-can Material-Design-Lite blog template be fully installed on Wordpress? Downloaded the full template from http://www.getmdl.io/templates/blog/index.html and wondering how to use the entire file....
Thanks!
Sure it is possible! I actually was playing around with MDL and integrated it into WordPress. If you are interested you can grab it off GitHub:
https://github.com/braginteractive/MDLWP
Yes, you can absolutely make a Wordpress template using MDL. Helping you do that though... is a bit of a big task. Try looking for help around the web on just building Wordpress templates, then when are you working with HTML, use MDL classes and necessary attributes for components.
Yes. You'll probably want to do so by creating a new theme. The MDL templates provides static HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Wordpress requires PHP to dynamically add your content. You could approach this from two directions: modifying an existing theme or blank starter-theme to work with the CSS and Javascript, or adding the necessary php to the MDL HTML files (and making them php files).
You could also potentially add the MDL css and javascript through a child theme or plugin to use only select portions of it if you're not looking for a MDL Theme. At a minimum you'll need to add classes to the elements you want to affect, and watch out for potential conflicts.
Not sure of your level of experience, but here are some starting points.

Custom Gitbook Themes

Does anyone know how to modify the look of a git book? I've seen 2 books that have a different look from the default:
http://codac.co/
http://coalman.github.io/tott-gulpjs/book/
But can someone point me in the right direction of how to customize the look and/or build a custom theme for gitbook?
I can't seem to find any documentation on customizing a gitbook.
If you are using the CLI Toolchain (as opposed to the online editor noted above), you need to create a directory called '/styles' in the root of your book then add a 'website.css' file to that directory.
Customize that website.css file to adjust the style of your gitbook.
'gitbook serve' or 'gitbook build' when done to view changes.
If you are editing your gitbook online at gitbook.com, you can edit the stylesheets by selecting the down arrow in the far right of the toolbar:
You can start to see the theme templates and change too see how it works

theme-settings.php not included in STARTER of foundation subtheme

I'm trying to create a subtheme of the foundation theme so I'm following the directions in the readme in starter map. All goes well except for there isn't a theme-settings.php file included in the starter map. I've now just copied the theme-settings.php file from the base foundation theme. Will this give me setbacks in the future? Do I need to create my own theme-settings.php ?
You can do fine without a theme-settings.php in your subtheme, unless you need to customize the theme settings form. I noticed the entry in the README file too, and I think it refers either to a previous version of the Foundation theme or to a next proposed feature.
If you don't need to customize your subtheme settings form you can happily proceed. If you do - or will in the future-, you can provide your own theme-settings.php; just be aware of issue #943212 in Drupal queue. You can find a neat workaround to that issue in Zen theme starterkit's theme-settings.php.

Adding the Gantry font sizer feature to the RocketTheme Afterburner2 template

I use a customized version of the RocketTheme Afterburner2 template. The Afterburner2 template is based on the Gantry framework and has been stripped of of all unnecessary features in order to obtain a very fast template.
I am novice in using the Gantry framework. I would like to reintegrate in my template the Gantry font sizer feature, but don't see how to do it.
Thanks for your help or for pointing me the right documentation.
Jean-Pierre
It's unlikely a simple task to re-enable this feature in Afterburner but you could add another extension to do this for you such as the non-commercial jFontSize module:
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/style-a-design/accessibility/24328
Alternatively, you could switch to the default Gantry template which is reasonably lean but still has the font sizer feature included.
