Hi all,
I'm a Dreamweaver CS6 person - I would use this forever if I could - but my new 3840x2160 laptop and cs6 don't get along 
(Fonts move about when highlighting and even with compatibility turned on - it looks blurry)
How can I get the colors when coding in CC 2018 to match the colors of CS6?
It was just the classic php editing color scheme.
Is there just a main.less I can download to make it look like cs6?
Thanks for the help!

This is the css code that I've used to make the update less traumatic from DW 2015 to 2017/2018 (classic theme, white backgroud):
@background: #FFFFFF;
....cm-atom, .cm-string, .cm-string-2, .cm-hr { color: #747474; }
.cm-comment { color: #C4C4C4; }
.cm-keyword { color: #f00 !important; }
.cm-def { color: #494949 !important; }
.cm-variable-2 { color: #0e83fc !important; }
.cm-variable-3 { color: #db2114 !important; }
.cm-string { color: #480AC0 !important; }
.HTML {
.cm-atom { color: #747474; }
}

You will never get an exact match with previous code colors because too much has changed in DW CC since Brackets code-mirror was added. You could drop back to the older 2015 version before Brackets was introduced.
Or do what I did and get a Brackets Theme from GitHub I could live with.
I copied the Main.LESS file from GitHub and added it to a newly created custom Theme. After a week of using the new Theme, I completely forgot about my old code colors.
