AutoIT Editor Dark Theme

[argumentum]

The newest SciTE comes with a dark theme, cool !, now switching back to light(standard) theme, there are leftovers from the dark theme, so, i merged those two and recreate them to not leave leftovers from the prior (Light/Dark). Did not do it for all the themes, just those two default standard themes.

...I've got to this back and forth due to Switching to and from "High contrast" windows themes, so I wanted to do the same flawlessly in SciTE, hence the above code.

Do your own copy and paste, or to a new file, just in case you wanna keep the original install, original.

WARNING: These themes are gravely flawed ( as discussed farther down ). Side effect include messing up any other extension type coloring due to inclusions of global parameters, out of place in a user only configuration file !!!.

It will be better to check out the betas that are available.

Did you check the beta directory versions whether they are correct?

Jos

[argumentum]

no, no. I just compared one to another, googled what I needed and put it together. Did not think of looking into the beta folder.
But the setting I posted are correct. I'll look at the betas now.

[argumentum]

...practically the same. I could have save me a good 4 hours if I dared look at the betas.
There is a thing or 2 that are missing in the betas that would be handy. One is the "triple dash" color that comes out brown default, I've added that, and the other is the default color for other text files, to keep it align with the concept of a dark or light theme.

[Jos]

I'll  match your file with the current beta to see the differences.

Thanks Jos

I looked at your files, but there are too many differences for a simple match so needs work. Also no idea which one you used for your "light" version you posted. 
@jpm worked on the current dark version so maybe he can have a look to see what we like to copy into the current version?

[argumentum]

What I called "light" is what is named "standard", but is not the "*_Dark.", so I called it light.

[jpm]

Not sure too understand what is proposed against what I submit. for dark

I just see the number and the keyword color swap. If I remmber what I did I try to fit the VSCode color.

YHe only think I did not manage (perhaps widows change since I test it) is the color of the vertu=ical indent line .

When using dark an after standard (light) the line is more dark than the default value (without using the SciteConfig value)

Just post where you can see Something which is not so cute so I can improve if needed.

Cheers

[argumentum]

Your dark theme is great, going back was not so great
So I fixed that in the standard theme.

The only thing I've added to your dark theme ( and matched it in the standard theme ) , is to have the default for other ( non-au3 ), a blackish background on whiteish text, as to not hurt my eyes for the sudden increase of brightness, as I use SciTE for most everything.

As a side note: I have a 35 inch as my main monitor and my eyesight is going down, fast. These sudden change in brightness, really does a number on me, therefore my attention to change everything I can to a dark theme. I use your dark theme's colors. I like them  

[jpm]

Hi,

I checkcarefully your .SCiteConfig and I found out  that your propose blackisl/Whiteish is ok for Text file but no so good for .lua .html, … files

Neverther less I cannot find a solution for those files.

Another remarks is I cannot find where

error.marker.fore=#9D004F
error.marker.back=#9D004F                           ; on error event: side marker and console highlight
 

have influence can you tell me how to see the impact you propose?

Cheers

[argumentum]

error.marker.=xxx is not that really important given the true problem.

..it's a pickle @jmp. None of these ( windows OS or windows programs ), are designed for such radical change in visual style.
One would have to change every file for every language ( .lua, .html, etc ), and/or change the global file too.

I'll add your findings to my posting warning of the global side effects of its usage. 

Please disregard my simplistic approach, as it would truly need a whole new global theme changer and not just for .au3 .
It's an undergoing that is quite time consuming and most likely, not backward compatible to prior releases of our SciTE to implement either.

[Earthshine]

for the record, I love your dark theme @argumentum

[jpm]

Thanks I will send to Jos the latest update

Where did you get the definitions for the different styles?  (eg. 34 = matching braces)

Thanks.  Lots of information on that page!

The only thing that I can't find is the ability to change colors in the output pane...?

[quickbeam]

Revisiting this...

I made my own theme with muted colors (if the point is to be relaxing to the eyes, then I need to avoid white and bright pink, etc).

The only problem I have is the cursor is just about the same color as the background, and it's thin to start with.  This is a problem at the start of the line or just to the right of a matching parenthesis, for example.  Can we set the cursor color?

the cursor looks OK in my setup. Then again, I'm using a dark theme ( High contrast tweak ), so if you use a "regular" windows, the cursor will be black instead of white, as the picture of my setup above shows.

[quickbeam]

Thank you, that is worth installing.  I've been "too busy" to update for a while.

[malicioussoap]

I don't know if anyone has updated this thread but, Tools>SciTeTools>EditorColours> (click on the change scheme button at the bottom left of the window) > SciTe auto darkmode (or something similar).

 

Im very tired rn so I'm sorry if I didn't catch anyone else say this already
