Some text elements are not colored
rien333 opened this issue · 5 comments
Despite what the README shows, integers and other numbers do not get a purple shade, but retain the color of regular text. (tested with multiple files, including a .go file, as in the example). The same goes for logical operators like != and &&.
Anybody knows why? I'm not familiar enough with emacs themeing mechanisms to say, but could this be a bug?
Hi @rien333 👋, thanks for your contribution 👍
Sorry for that time gap, must have missed this one in my notifications and just found it while cleaning up the 3k+ items in the new GitHub notification center.
Unfortunately I don't remember exactly which packages I've used to take the screenshots since I only setup Emacs for testing purposes of this theme. Maybe the shipped syntax highlighting support for Go wasn't detailed enough so the chances are high that I've used a popular package like go-mode.el in order to get the best highlighting output.
This is almost the same like Vim where the bundled syntax highlighting is only basic and requires advanced plugins like govim or vim-go for great debugging and development experiences.
The Emacs package I've linked above looks like one of the popular and actively maintained ones so maybe we can add dedicated highlighting support into this theme.
@rien333 Have you been able to fix the incorrect styles or does the problem still persists?
Sorry for not following up on this. The problem "persists", but I think this is due to the fact that you might have done some extra config when you originally took the screenshots shown in the README. By default, emacs doesn't appear to enable syntax highlighting for numerals, no matter which mode you're in. (you provided example screenshots of java and go, and both do not have highlighted numerals on my end).
As such, I don't think there is anything this package can do here.
No problem, I've also replied like 2 months later 😕
I'll check if I can find the test/screenshot configurations I've used for the project assets, but since I don't use Emacs the chance is high that it was the result of a quick copy&paste Google search.
Don't worry too much! Most guides online are pretty clear about it: you'll have to install some special mode for this too work (or add some code yourself)
