Syntax highlight colors are becoming too dark

[montoner0]

For some reason some bright colors I've configured are becoming much darker after VS restart (not every time, can't catch the exact moment). I wonder why Codist would ever tamper with the user configured colors... Also noticed that they are also darken within an exported theme...

Even weirder thing: colors in preview and in a picker don't match

Please upload your VS theme and Codist configuration file here so I can test it.

I use the standard Blue theme with non-standard colors. Please see the attached files.

I analyzed the VS settings and found the cause of your issue.
Codist automatically adjusts the brightness of the syntax theme to the VS theme.
However, the algorithm is not stable when the editor is dark but other text windows are bright, or vise versa.
I currently can not think of a way to perfectly deal with situations like this.
I will let you know if there is a new beta version which address this issue.

As a quick solution you could add an option to disable the auto-adjusting.

Please try beta 9822.

I was using the beta for several days and so far it seems good. However I've seen other issues (not related to highlighting) though haven't found a way to reproduce, they seem random so far...

Well.
If you encounter that problem once again, please let me know.
