Hm, don't know why that is. Could be an opacity problem on the Forgroundcolor somewhere.

I have attached a screenshot how I see a library function in either HTML PHP or Textpattern Language Scope.

Did you get anything different then that ? And if not, could you tell me which scopes did create a problem for you ?

Thanks.

Hello to All

This is a revised version of Texari Reborn. As you might know, not all Themes have support for more exotic Languages like Textile for Instance.

It was first created to cater the proper Textpattern Styles.

I have revised the Theme since then a couple of Times. It now has also good support for Textile, php and HTML of course.

I even modified Brad Choate's Textile Language Grammar yesterday, to add support for Acronyms, codeblocks and a couple of other things that are only available in Dean Allan's version of Textile 2.

Unfortunately I lost my changes, due to the fact, that I had to force quit TextMate.

However the Theme is there.

One useful addition, that I made, is to add support for zem_template, which is used to create the Textpattern plugins, that are running from cache. It helps to avoid Errors, styles comment blocks and special comment blocks as distinguishable lines and so forth.

It has a very resting effect on the eyes.

Give at a go, if you wish.

regards, marios

Ok, yes I can see the problem. That looks pretty ugly. It's the selection values. I slided the opacity down to about 9 % and moved it more in to the blues and greens.

File attached. If there is any wishes to add support for a couple more Languages, just let me know, and I will see, if I can add those in.

I still find it hard to read, see new example

Whoops, forgot to attach the file, wasn't attached.

One further mention, on why this Theme was baptized Texari.

I view and work a lot with Text. With TextMate, Textpattern on Safari. So: Text + Safari = TextSafari = Texari.

The Reborn thing has to do with the Language Grammar refactoring.

The problem here is that there is insufficient value (lightness) contrast between the colors: humans are great at distinguishing color with value contrast, and much worse when there is only contrast in hue or colorfulness.

In this case, the scheme overall would benefit from

having its colors be lighter: at the moment, they are of middle lightness, which means they don't contrast as well as they could with the black background.

That is true. I'm not entirely happy myself with it. Now, the problem here from my point of view was this:

I wanted to have a theme that plays as low in contrast as possible, preferably on a blackboard like color. ( The ones we had in school. ) with pastel like colors. ( The ones that mimic the chalk ones we had in school as well. ) Anything that has too much contrast, has a very tiring effect on the eyes. In fact, if I could get this right, it'll allow you to spend much more hours on screen. ( One reason I liked Thoma's Twilight Theme )

The tricky thing here is to find a balance of contrast between the text values and the background values.

But whatever happens to the text colors, the highlight color here should be darker, because at the moment it is of near identical lightness to the text colors, and they therefore blend right together.

Also true. Once I changed the background colors, I noticed that I've run in the opposite problem. Since I usually only use it for cutting and pasting, I didn't care about readability.

Apparently the color values have to change all together.

I'll give it another overall shot, once I get the chance.
