istib / rainbow-blocks Goto Github PK

Currently, If I do (def one 1), The def part isn't syntax-highlighted as per my major mode (say, clojure-mode). It would be nice if rainbow-blocks would only set those properties I have explicitly defined in the customized faces but not override/replace/whatever those from the major-mode.

The result I'm hoping for is this: have the foreground color of my text be decided by the token type (builtin, string, comment, etc.) and the background be decided by the scope. Currently rainbow-blocks sets both foreground and background based on scope.

Specifically, the screenshot in the README. That typeface is very legible and aesthetically pleasing, and I'd like to use it myself :)

Hello,

First of all, I'd like to thank you for contributing this plugin! I found it exceptionally useful at quickly perusing the structure of my Lisp code (and quite pretty). Great work!

I've noticed occasionally (and in a way that's hard to reproduce) while editing code or scrolling in my buffer, the rainbow colors seem to sometimes temporarily disappear. They'll re-appear if I modify the code blocks in question, or sometimes, just wait a moment. I was curious if you've ever seen this, and if so, if you know of a quick way to fix? (I've tried byte compiling the file, and I'm running on a fairly fast machine).

Thanks again for your hard work!

Best,
Steve

Hi, do you have any recommendations for color choices when using zenburn theme? At the moment it looks a bit dark.

Hi,
I like the idea of this mode. I enable rainbow-blocks mode in either a clojure or emacs-lisp buffer, but dont see any block highlighting (using the current version in this repo, emacs 24.3 on osx mavericks).
I dont understand emacs themes well. I'm not sure if this should be used in conjuction with some theme or not.
I've tried with no theme, and with zenburn. The only difference i see is the text colors change, but there's no block highlighting.

Any hints on what should be in my emacs init file to get this going (other than the require, and add-hook) would be appreciated.

I guess it could be conflicting with some other thing in my init, which I'll check out.

Cheers.
