Lacking complete coverage of new keys and .figmatokens file; inclusion and re-examination of color values necessary.

[PsychedelicShayna]

As of at least Qt Creator v14.0.2, the theme structure has had some changes.

Various new keys have been added which need to be covered in .creatortheme in order to ensure the theme remains 100% accurate to the original DarkPlus theme. The extent of what they all cover is unknown to me as of right now.

The introduction of a .figmatokens file alongside every .creatortheme now controls certain aspects of the editor's appearance, which previously wasn't.

This file is ultimately imported by the .creatortheme file at the very start, but the fact that this separation exists implies there's a reason to put them apart from the rest of the keys. Every default .creatortheme file now has an associated .figmatokens file.

If those keys are not defined, the theme seems to break entirely, causing a black splash screen, as well as messing up the editor style colors.

See Issue @ PsychedelicShayna/QtCreatorTheme-VSCodeDarkPlus

The lack of certain .figmatokens definitions are the cause of this.

Note

For the moment I only hacked together a quick fix to get the theme working again, as only applying the editor theme without applying a IDE theme completely messes up the editor theme. It could have been an isolated incident, but if not, it would suggest there's some intermingling between the two that wasn't present before, so .creatortheme and now .figmatokens files could potentially.. possibly, maybee~ hold the key to coloring the keywords 100% correctly. This is worth investigating: could these new additions finally resolve the problem of being forced to choose between blue and purple keywords due to limitations that this could potentially address?

A whole new file extension being introduced, despite the keys ultimately being imported into the .creatortheme file anyway, and there being plenty of other new keys that were just added directly to .creatortheme, would suggest there is something about a ligmatoken figmatoken that makes it special in some way. There are mentions of gradients in there too. It's worth taking a closer look at.

Important

The reason this is an "enhancement" is because there are likely color discrepancies, deviations from the original theme, or other such inconsistencies. If you spot any such such inconsistency that if fixed would bring it closer to a theme that's 100% true to DarkPlus, please, go ahead and spam this issue with them so that they can be promptly fixed.

Just because the primary issue was fixed, doesn't mean that this whole pseudo-restructure of Qt Creator themes won't come with its side effects. Perhaps a key got renamed, or a new one has higher priority, or maybe a key exists that refers to something that you previously couldn't refer to, allowing for a more accurate port.

Thanks to a related issue @ catppuccin/qtcreator we have a quick list of the new keys.

However this is not a definitive list, as some of the new keys could have already been implemented by catppuccin/qtcreator, so for the sake of completeness, I'll provide an update of a more complete list by aggregating every default theme together, along with their figmakey files, remove duplicates, and filter for keys that do not appear in this theme. I could also read the docs but.. it's likely not very well documented yet.. at least that's what I'm telling myself to justify writing a sick Neovim macro and watching it run even though I could have done the exact same thing with cat, uniq, xargs, and grep.. but dopamine!
