I’m a little confused, syntax highlighting is working in your screenshot, which is why def is purple, and Repo is blue. If you want more colors than you might want to check out a custom theme for VSCode. There’s a good list of themes in: Poll: What VSCode theme do you use?

Of course! An honest question deserves a serious response. Good luck finding a theme that you like!

Wow… I made a stupid question…!

It bothered me that atoms weren’t highlighted, and that started to happen after an update.

I didn’t realize that the highlight is customized by the theme. So now I’m looking for a new theme.

Thanks for the answer and for not making fun of it!

Thanks!

Hi @mauric,

The best way to browse themes is vscodethemes.com. Just keep in mind that many themes have not been tweaked for Elixir. If you like the default dark theme, there is an Elixir-friendly version called Dark+ Elixir that is popular around here. We also had a recent poll on VS Code themes (EDIT: looks like Axelson already mentioned this…a good starting point, in any event). I am using my own theme, called Yarra Valley. Good luck!

Where Next?
