# Visual Studio Dark Theme for EnlighterJS When I started this blog I ended up using the [WordPress plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/enlighter/) for [EnligherJS](http://enlighterjs.org/) for displaying code with syntax highlighting. It has good number of themes out of the box, but none of them were really to my liking. I generally like dark themes as I find them easier on the eyes and easier to distinguish between different colors and color-variations than with white/light themes. I started looking for an existing Visual Studio theme but couldn’t find any, so I decided to try and make one myself. The result is what I’m using on this blog. I’ve recently put it up on [Github](https://github.com/Krusen/EnlighterJS-VisualStudioDark-Theme) for anyone interested in using or modifying it. It’s pretty close, but not 100% as all the parsing/matching is done with regex so it’s not possible to infer if a symbol is an interface or class etc. except from their name and casing. Because of this a few things are (at least somewhat) dependent on naming/casing – classes (`PascalCase`), interfaces (`IPascalCase`) and generics (`` or ``). **NOTE: *I’ve only tested this with C# and XML*** I had to make some changes to the language setup of C# in EnlighterJS to get the most accurate theme. I’ve detailed the changes in the readme on [the Github repository](https://github.com/Krusen/EnlighterJS-VisualStudioDark-Theme) and also included a “patched” version of EnlighterJS. This does make it a bit more of a manual process when you want to update the plugin, but I haven’t figured a way out of it so far. ### Screenshots Here’s a few screenshots of how it looks in action. ![enlighter-theme-csharp](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1653483841824/h-oMs4uMP.png) ![enlighter-theme-csharp-attributes](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1653483843363/ZSUOEATGl.png) ![enlighter-theme-csharp2](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1653483845525/rCYLbgY18.png) ![enlighter-theme-xml](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1653483846832/H0lTahEYL.png)
