What about switching the default ACE theme from GITHUB to CHROME?

Hei,

When it comes to syntax highlighting I find the default Zeppelin theme
(github) very "ascetic".

It is basically not highlighting SQL and has some strange (bogus)
highlights for Scala.

IMHO the CHROME theme provides better syntax highlighting while sharing
similar appearance characteristics like GITHUB. Couple of screenshots are
attached to illustrate the difference. You can also compare both ACE themes
at: http://ace.c9.io/tool/mode_creator.html

I know i can modify the theme locally (STYLE.md) but still i believe that
the default theme should bring the best experience for most of the use
cases.

What do you think? Are there any other compelling reasons to keep the
GITHUB theme?

Cheers,
Christian
