Overcolorization ("Everything is purple")
(andreyor.st)
A community for the timeless and infinitely powerful editor. Want to see what Emacs is capable of?!
And then on the other side, people come asking why even when TS is used, highlighting is not "up to par" with VS Code and etc. Then hear about
treesit-font-lock-level
, ramp it up to the max, and apparently live happily after.That's a misinterpretation of my argument. I said monochromacity: that at the highest level, many disparate node types are font locked with the same face. Try it in Python. Everything is the same shade of whatever your variable name face is.
So your complaint is about the non-default behavior? The level 3 was chosen as default explicitly to avoid the abundance of color where it's not really needed.
I don't see that "everything is the same shade", even with level 4. There are problems - like the
variable
matches in particular (which is not useful IMO, but should at least use a different face). The rest use different faces, but since most of those faces are new, it's up to the theme authors to differentiate them.Here's a patch fixing the one problem I found (try it), and below is a screenshot with this patch applied along with the new faces customized to be distinct.

That's not what I wrote.
The variable matcher, indeed, is the one I was talking about...
I'm glad we're on the same page.
You're welcome.
