[BUG] Dark theme changes color

[zs-dima]

This issue had been already described, but wrongly closed #183

Reproduced for Dart and Flutter code highlighting.

Turning off Semantic highlighting will disable very useful highlighting features, that make code badly readable.

When using your dark theme with dart or flutter in VSCode, it originally looks like this

but then after a minute switches to this:

I can't really reproduce this. 🤔 Here the steps I took:

1. Open a new file
2. Paste the below sample code
3. Safe as dart.dart
4. Toggle the theme's semanticHighlighting

class _InspectionResultState extends State<InspectionResult> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Container(
      width: double.infinity,
      child: Card()
    )
  }
}

semanticHighlighting: true	semanticHighlighting: false

Not noticing a difference. Is there another (dart) extension that needs to be installed?

@simurai
0.1. Install Flutter and Dart VSCode plugins
0.2. Install GitHub theme VSCode plugin
0.3. Select GitHub theme for the VSCode

Hmm.. installed Flutter and Dart, but still can't see a difference:

semanticHighlighting: true	semanticHighlighting: false

@simurai
Just tested with the latest 'Visual Studio Code - Insiders' and the latest GitHub theme plugin, Flutter and Dart plugins are the latest as well.
Default VSCode theme:

GitHub theme - recommended - 'GitHub Dark colorblind':

'GitHub Dark colorblind':

Hmm... weird. Still can't reproduce with GitHub Dark Colorblind (Beta):

@simurai thanks a lot for the answer.
Could I kindly ask you to check it on Windows 11 or Windows 10 ?
I reproduced this issue on Windows 11

Hi, I want to share mine as well. Looks like magic/special methods are rendered in a different color. I first thought this comes from "Pylance" extension but disabled it and the problem still exists.

Language: Python
OS: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS x86_64
VSCode: 1.77.0
GitHub Theme: v6.3.4
Theme: "GitHub Dark Dimmed"

Photo from VSCode:

"editor.semanticHighlighting.enabled": false,

Thanks.

I mentioned #192 issue already - it was reproduced by many users but closed without any fixes.

Guys, I think I found the solution. In my case, vscode updated to the January 2024 version (1.86). I downgraded to version 1.85.1 and the colors were fixed 🎉
