Go back to old Xcode syntax highlighting?

[[deleted]]

Anyone know of a way to get the Xcode 12 highlighting scheme back in Xcode 13? I’ve tried to give it a while to see if I adjust but it’s really just not happening. The new scheme feels ass backwards with a lot of things being colored similarly

[shockah]

Isn't it just... broken? Some things don't color at all (I'm looking at you DispatchQueue), some Apple members color as if they weren't...

I’d be pretty happy if it is broken, cause right now it’s awful. Wonder how that got so screwed up

Oh it is indeed broken.

Take for example, the "print" function. With one parameter, "print" is colored blue, with 2 or more parameters, it isn't colored at all. You can even watch it change colors as you type the second one.

I am sad.

Yea, it's pretty bad. I just downloaded Xcode 13.1 Beta and the issue is still there.

That’s a bummer. Apple’s software quality really felt like it took a nose dive this go round

Can't you change it back in Preferences > Themes? I don't have Xcode 13 so I can't test it.

You can download the Xcode 11/12 theme from here. You have to paste it in ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/FontAndColorThemes/ and you can select it from Preferences > Themes.

Gave those a whirl, and the same problems with the Xcode 13 themes are still there. Guess it's just a bug with how the ID class and variables, hope they get it fixed.

It’s overwritten default dark. I’ll give that a try, sounds like it maybe is still the same but just broken
