Template editor code colors

Comfy.n · 10-19-2024, 03:28 AM

Are the code colors in the template editors customisable?

I wanted to change them to higher contrast tones.

No, they aren't without changing source. If you want to do that then see line 160 in calibre.gui2.dialogs.template_dialog.py.

FWIW: keywords, builtin functions, and constants all use the "link" color. The colors for strings, comments, numbers are all hard coded.

I've used the Color Variations View in this nifty program SE-ColorMaker, and found that three shades brighter than the current are way more visible in Dark Theme, here's what's in the "changed tones" screenshot:

("comment", "#00C700", False, True),
("string", "#B6B600", False, False),
("number", "#D96D00", False, False),
