Our syntax highlighting can struggle for some languages and themes. Specifically the bold characters are hard to differentiate in the Dawn and Dark themes.
JavaScript/C/C++ does ok, but common Python syntax highlighting really relies upon bolding. A lot of dark mode editors use different colors for Python dark mode syntax highlighting in place of bolding. Is this something we can turn on? Or at least a little bit bolder of a bold?
Samples to try in different modes:
Easier to read:
- JavaScript
for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
console.log("Hello World");
}
- C/C++
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
printf("Hello World\n");
}
Harder to read:
- Python
for i in range(10):
print("Hello World")
