simurai / tone-syntax

An Atom theme with customizable colors

Tone

An Atom syntax theme with customizable colors.

It tones down less important parts (like punctuation and brackets) and highlights only the important ones. This leads to a more calm color scheme, but still lets you find the stuff you're looking for.

Settings

You can change the color scheme by going to Settings > Themes > tone-syntax Theme (or the cog icon next to the theme picker). There you can customize the colors. Or edit your config file directly.

Language support

Why is the language support somewhat sparse? In order to decide how a language should be highlighted, it's helpful to understand the language. Only then you can get the nuances right. Therefore this theme only supports a language if somebody actively maintains it.

Contribute

Want to contribute? Awesome! Here the steps to add syntax highlighting for a specific language:

1. Add an example file to spec/. Doesn't have to be complete, just something to test the highlighting.
2. Add a Less file with the styling to styles/languages/.
3. Add an import to that Less file in styles/languages/_index.less.
4. Add yourself as the maintainer to this README.md.
5. Make a PR. 🎉

Note: Since there are hundreds (thousands?) of languages out there, less commonly used languages might not get accepted. 🙇

tone-syntax's Issues

Python

Are there any plans to support Python syntax?

No bracket matching in Python, MD, and LaTeX

Bracket matching seems to work okay for things like HTML tags (both with HTML grammar selected and markdown grammar selected), but other things that are caught by the Bracket Matcher package are not marked as such by this syntax theme. I'm not sure what the issue is since the .bracket-matcher .region is being selected in the editor.less file and is being assigned a value.

Adding the following to my styles.less seemed to make everything work:

.bracket-matcher {
  position: absolute;
  border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
  z-index: 1;
}

I'm not knowledgeable enough to say what the proper fix to this repo is.

Maintainer wanted

Hey, just wanted to say I was interested in possibly becoming a maintainer!
What all would that involved I'd like to get started right away!

Hovering over Custom Colors Default: [object, Object]

Love this library!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Under settings:
If you hover over a custom color the default color will be [object, Object]

Thank you

UI colors

Would it be possible to have the UI colors follow the background color set for the editor?

Search is unsupported/broken

I really love the theme, but the search seems broken. Anyone willing to help me out with this?
