Enhance syntax highlighting / coloring #46

Open mario-d-s opened 6 years ago

mario-d-s commented 6 years ago

The (light) theme, as generated by the template in this repo, makes heavy use of bold fonts, and very few colors.

I have enhanced the syntax highlighting in my fork, at least for C# so far. See my branch @ https://github.com/mario-d-s/visualstudio-colors-solarized/tree/syntax-coloring

I whipped up an example file containing all significant elements and took screenshots for comparison.

Default coloring

Solarized-Light-Default

My version

Solarized-Light-Altered

I would like to open a PR, but I realize this may well be an entirely personal preference and not everyone may want their C# to look like a coloring book. Hence, I open this issue to have a discussion first.

@leddt Is enhancing the syntax highlighting something you want to integrate in your repo? If so, do you agree with my choices for colors or do you want some changes?

If this is something you'd like, I'll also point out there is more work to be done here to enhance other languages and contexts (F#, XML, ASPX, XAML, ....)

What text font are you using ?

@cata0309 I have been using Input for quite some time, which should be the font you see in those screenshots.
