This is exactly what I was looking for, as I am thinking of switching back Form Sublime to Gedit. Thanks a lot!

  It does work on 16.04
  Just save the .xml file in a location you want then go to Edit -> Preferences -> Font & Colors
  Push the plus button at the bottom and select the xml file.
  
  Thanks for the article.
