Not all colors configurable - difficult for dark theme users about fluentmark

[grosenberg]

Is anything more than a dark theme button required?

[de-jcup]

Normally the steps described at
de-jcup/eclipse-asciidoctor-editor#60 will bring up correct colors automatically when user start up with dark themes - see comments and code from @vogella
(css variant)

This is normally the standard way to provide dark theme colouring in e4 style. But -at least currently - it has problems when you switch between white and dark theme. Dark theme colors where not assigned automatically on switching. So I left my "Defaults for dark theme" button in case of problems...

Hi @de-jcup

I'm facing the dark theme issue myself, and I've noticed you mention steps for configuring ascii-doctor, so what you are suggesting is to use the same approach to solve this issue, or that if you install ascii-doctor and correct colors in it, it will solve the fluentmark issue ?

thanks in advance, hope this is a work-around :-)

Hello @toniocus ,

In my plugins I have always a special "Apply defaults for dark theme" button in color preference pages.
This is only a workaround and - i you want to adopt this - you have to implement it by your own - I did this in my plugins when it comes to problems.

But you should also apply the wanted official way and provide a dark css file for your plugin. I am not sure why this is sometimes working and sometimes not - but it's the official way and I think it will work in future "out-of-the-box" - e.g.:
https://github.com/de-jcup/eclipse-asciidoctor-editor/blob/master/asciidoctor-editor-plugin/css/dark.css works well

My workaround is a little bit cumbersome, because new colors must always be maintained in dark.css and also in code for button... but it works always...

That would be super useful. Selected text is currently completely unreadable (black text on black background).
