Theme doesn't work in the new code editor

[nevercade]

It looks like sadly the theme colours aren't carried over into the new version of the code editor and some UI elements. :(

Thank you for reporting.

This will likely require some more work to fix, but I am not familiar with the new gamemaker UI changes. If someone else would like to update the colors for the new UI, I would be happy to review changes and merge

This was due part to CE2 having it's own theme system from the complete work up. This isn't so much as a simple "existing GameMaker theme", it's a completely separate theme system, tied with the new code editor. I don't think this can be remedied by just merging with the existing theme system.

Fortunately, a user from the GameMaker Discord, @backYard321, has already gone ahead and prepared a version matching the colours. I haven't thoroughly tested this (as I've been busy doing other things), but this should be a good base to start.
Edit: Redacted link as backYard has posted an update to date version

A few things to note before circulating this new file:

1. I've opted to recreate the CE1 highlighting more faithfully, HOWEVER as a result, this theme doesn't take advantage of certain CE2 highlighting functionality (bolded highlighting for keywords like return, different highlighting for escape characters in strings, user functions VS built-in functions, etc). This should probably be changed.
2. There are likely inconsistencies here - this was really just a rough first pass. For example: I ROUGHLY eyeballed the code highlighting colour - in my previous version it actually DARKENED the highlighted area.
3. There are many highlighting "scopes" that i left as their default, rather than using the Dracula palette, as I'm generally ignorant of how Dracula highlights these outside of Gamemaker. These should all be redone according to how Dracula typically colours them.

TLDR: my version is rough, and needs more fixes before circulating

Here's my current version:
Dracula.zip

Thank you for making this, this makes it a lot easier. Do you know if this can be included in the repo and gamemaker will automatically apply the theme colors when selecting the dracula theme? Or will users have to select this separately?

[backYard321]

Unfortunately it's separate - the CE2 colour themes are stored separately in the user's roaming appdata folder.

I took a swing at making my own .tmTheme file back when CE2 was first released after noticing that CE2 didn't pull from the same theme directory as the IDE. (and that we're using TextMate theme files now...?)

I just updated it last week to include any new scope definitions since the first release of CE2. Trying my best to conform to the Dracula Spec though there doesn't seem to be enough scope defs to cover the official spec in its entirety (that I know of).

Here's my current version:
GameMakerDraculaUnofficial.zip

I would propose just including a .tmTheme file in the download/zip and adding an install instruction specifically for "Code Editor 2" users since CE2 themes can be quickly installed via the IDE Settings window.
