How do I make a custom syntax highlighting?

[mbekkomo]

Hello, I want to ask how do I make a custom syntax highlighting. I know you can see it in the color.md, but the documentation is poorly made and also difficult to understand.

[DeadNews]

Docs: https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/blob/master/runtime/help/colors.md
Example: https://github.com/joseluisq/micro-one-dark

You need two files:

• ~/.config/micro/colorschemes/darkone.micro

color-link default "#ABB2BF,#282C34"
color-link color-column "#282C34"
color-link comment "#5C6370"
color-link constant "#C678DD"
color-link constant.number "#D19A66"
color-link constant.string "#98C379"
color-link constant.string.char "#BDE6AD"
color-link constant.specialChar "#DDF2A4"
color-link current-line-number "#C6C6C6,#2C313A"
color-link cursor-line "#21252C"
color-link divider "#1E1E1E"
color-link error "#D2A8A1"
color-link gutter-error "#9B859D"
color-link gutter-warning "#9B859D"
color-link identifier "#61AFEF"
color-link identifier.class "#C678DD"
color-link identifier.var "#C678DD"
color-link indent-char "#515151"
color-link line-number "#636D83,#282C34"
color-link preproc "#D19A66"
color-link special "#D19A66"
color-link statement "#C678DD"
color-link statusline "#282828,#ABB2BF"
color-link symbol "#AC885B"
color-link symbol.brackets "#ABB2BF"
color-link symbol.operator "#C678DD"
color-link symbol.tag "#AC885B"
color-link tabbar "#F2F0EC,#2D2D2D"
color-link todo "#8B98AB"
color-link type "#66D9EF"
color-link type.keyword "#C678DD"
color-link underlined "#8996A8"

• ~/.config/micro/settings.json

{
    "colorscheme": "darkone",
}

@UrNightmaree This is exactly what you need to do. The docs are limited because you’re expected to look at the existing files and figure out how to do it from there.

Not like I am trying to copy the file but the documentation didnt explain each syntax do and the example of the syntax.
