SHPreferences commentStyle class. "SHStyleElement"

Changing any attribue in a ShStyleElement object also sends `SHPreferences applyStyle`. This method creates a new styletable based on the SHStyleElement objects in the Group class variable in SHPreferences. These object get their initial color and emphasis from the the class variable CustomStyleTable also in SHPreferences, which is inited from #defaultStyleTable (blueTheme), and this is why the whole theme changes when you only change one color.

Probably.

Thanks Henrik and Cyril. I now tried on a second machine and the default looks fine.

I checked and there was a setting left that changes the color for Smalltalk "comments" only:

SHPreferences commentStyle color: (Color r: 0.06 g: 0.358 b: 0.06 alpha: 1.0)

from grey (Pharo light theme) to greenish (like VisualStudio comments). Because this looks
more professional and aligns with Eclipse/VisualStudio/... and others.

Looks like changing one color changes back to the default theme coloring ... but I wonder why it
changes the theme when I manipulate only the comment color?

Is this a bug?

Thanks

Tested with a clean 60471 and the correct code theme is used for me (primary white text color).

What are these values for you:

----------------------

Smalltalk ui theme. "a Pharo3DarkTheme"

SHTextStylerST80 styleTable = Smalltalk ui theme shStyleTable. "true"

SHRBTextStyler styleTable = Smalltalk ui theme shStyleTable "true"

----------------------

My guess is that you have some theme setting that changed just the code color back to the default theme coloring.

Best regards,

Henrik

The damn deal might be done to switch Pharo 6 now to the dark theme - but my impression
is that the way we provide it now lets say is "not very comfortable".

When
- opening Pharo 6.0 Latest update: #60471 (as of today)
- opening a new Nautilus browser

the code color settings are unreadable (see screenshot).

I suggest to use black text on black background in the future to improve the situation
even further ;)

Are there already any bugs to have a better color code scheme for the dark theme?

Have fun
