I already ported all of the existing old-style color schemes to work with the new filedefs, see the geany-themes[1] project on Github to get them. Some might need a little tweaking, but should for the most part be quite similar to the original ones.
Nice!
Unfortunately, the 'dark' scheme needs some serious tweaking to make it look like I'm used to (it's very brownish dull right now), but I guess some well-placed copy/paste actions will solve that for me! ;)
Armed with a screenshot of the old scheme, dark.conf, an old filetypes.* file and the documentation[1] I'll try to recreate the old dark theme.
It'd be great if you could send me your changes after so I could update the one in geany-themes!
I will. Unfortunately, it's quite a trial and error process as the documentation isn't very helpful in where a definition is used. For example: 'string_1', 'keyword_3', and lots of others aren't mentioned anywhere.
It also would have been nice if there's a old> new name list.
See the [styling] section in each filedef to see where they map to the old language-specific styles. For example, here's an extract of the PHP style mappings from filetypes.xml::
php_default=default php_simplestring=string_1 php_hstring=string_1 php_number=number_1 php_word=keyword_1 php_variable=preprocessor php_comment=comment php_commentline=comment php_operator=operator php_hstring_variable=string_2 php_complex_variable=keyword_2
The only reason there's ones with like keyword_3 and keyword_4 is that some languages have that many sets of different keywords, and if they all mapped to keyword_1 in the filedefs, it'd mean you'd have to edit the filedefs to change the scheme. This way though, you can just change the style for keyword_4 to be a different one right in the color schemes, for example, in the color scheme::
keyword_4=keyword_1
Changes to::
keyword_4=0xff0000;0x0000ff;false;true
And then whatever languages have a 4th set of keywords would have them highlighted differently from the other sets.
