Some colors don't match with the original VSCode theme

Hi, thanks for the colorscheme, it's my favorite and the one I have been using for the past couple of months.

But one thing caught my attention, the color of functions, imports, classes, etc is usually blue and not purple in the original colorscheme. Would it be possible to change those or was it intentional?

Hi! Thank you for your comment.

In my opinion, the biggest difference is caused by the fact that VSCode uses a different strategy to parse the source codes and different highlight categories. In Vim, the basic parsing is very simple and you usually need to install more advanced plugins.

Throughout the life of vim-code-dark, a lot of people have contributed with more accurate color definitions. If you look at the codedark.vim file, for example at the JavaScript section, you will see that jsFuncArgs, jsClassDefinition, etc. use a blue color, not purple (pink). However, this depends on how your Vim and your plugins parse your JavaScript code, and it works the same for all other languages.

If you are not a fan of the purple (pink) color, you can try using the conservative mode (let g:codedark_conservative = 1) that replaces pink by blue.

Thank you for the explanation :) it's my favorite colorscheme, I have tried others but I always end up going back to this one (I like to change the background color to black, it looks really nice that way as well).

I use treesitter highlighting which helps. But what I meant was something more like the gruvbox-material theme where there are two different colors for example let and set in vimscript not removing the pink color just adding a few more. Maybe even create a new more colorful mode who knows :D

Things are MUCH better with treesitter and #79

@tomasiser May I suggest you add this theme to https://github.com/rockerBOO/awesome-neovim#treesitter-supported-colorschemes now that it is treesitter compatible.

A bit late to the conversation but hoping I can get some help.

I'm using Vim 8.2 and I use coc as my lsp.
I'm am looking for a theme like visual studio proper. This one I think is close enough.
Thanks for the effort but into it! ❤️

I write a lot of c++, and notice that the object/classes are not the teal I'm used to in vscode/vsproper.

I've tried:

" Set colorscheme Onedark
set t_Co=256
set t_ut=
# And also
" let g:codedark_conservative=1
" If you like the new dark modern colors (Needs feedback!)
" let g:codedark_modern=1

None of these setting got me the teal color.
Treesitter is not supported for vanilla vim. Might someone know a solution to this? This is my complete .vimrc
