<p>For clarity, what exactly <em>is</em> the workaround here? OP is on Windows 7 (as am I). <a class="user-mention" data-hovercard-user-id="811085" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/elextr">@elextr</a> seems to indicate that futzing with the GTK theme is not effective for Windows.</p>
<p>And granted, there is no obvious and direct correspondence between programming syntax elements and GUI elements, but at a minimum there could at least be an "overall dark UI" setting, even if it is not specifically matched to the syntax coloring.</p>
<p>Question for <a class="user-mention" data-hovercard-user-id="8708778" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/AnthonyVO">@AnthonyVO</a> - did you ever find an acceptable workaround?</p>
