C++ items color not fully matching

[yaymalaga]

Hi, first at all thanks for the theme, I'm really enjoying Zed with it!

I'm doing some C++ right now and noticed some of the keywords are not colored at all or they have the wrong colors. I'm not entirely sure if this is Zed's issue or the theme itself though, so just posting it here first.

As you can see below, the results are pretty close! However there is some missing stuff:

• Include (macros) should use the purple(?) color instead

• Keywords such as for, else, continue, return should also use the purple color too
• Namespaces names should be colored blue
• The function return type color does not match either in this case, unless it is void in which case it is displayed blue

Another difference is the brackets & curly brackets coloring, but I think that needs to be implemented in Zed's side first.

@yaymalaga thanks for sharing!

I think most of those changes can be adjusted directly in our theme. I have noticed there are some discrepancies in the colours as well.

I'll try to get to it in the coming weeks but until then anyone seeing this can feel free to tackle to if they are interested.

Hello @kcamcam!

I did some tinkering and it seems like there aren't enough options in the json file to fully match VS Code's theme? Examples: Primitive types should be #569CD6 but are currently #4EC9B0. Its not enough to just change the types entry in the json file because doing so would make user defined types the wrong color (they are #4EC9B0 in VS Code). To get if, else, switch, case, return, #include, #define colored correctly, the keyword color should be changed to something like #C57C9C but then that would make the volatile, static, and extern keywords the wrong color (they are both #569CD6 in VS Code).
