Thanks for making the Extension,

Is there a way I can manually change the colors from your file?

Long answer:

This extension provides the “grammar” for the language. This is what tells VS code how to chop a document up into little parts for formatting (colorization, etc).

The formatting for each little piece is determined by the theme. Change your theme and the colorization changes.

I use the default vs code dark theme which also happens to be the theme used to present the extension to the marketplace. One of the things I like about this extension is that the X is red, Y is green, and Z is blue. I’ll assume that was done intentionally; it’s what we’re used to seeing in CAD/CAM systems.

I’ll look into this a little more. We may be able to change the color of the comments. The sure fire way to do this would be to have the extension provide a theme in addition to the grammar. But then we’d be forcing users to use our theme.

The root of the problem is that CNC folks (like me) want the red, green, blue colorization. The fact that certain elements are easily associated with a standard color scheme is unique to this language and apparently not something VS code team has come across.
