Optional

A recent addition was using a few different sytax types like constant and keyword in the language definition syntax. This is a bit of a hack because Sublime Text does not seem to have an easy way for a plugin to suggest colors for the language scopes. In addition, it is hard to know what scopes will be available in a theme, so with most meta.hour.crontab and meta.minute.crontab will show up the same. This led me to believe the plugin was 'broken' when it was first installed because everything was one color.

The syntax will look acceptable with most themes with these revised scopes:

keyword.at.crontab
keyword.minute.crontab
constant.hour.crontab
class.dayofmonth.crontab
keyword.month.crontab
constant.dayofweek.crontab
string.command.crontab

This will at least give it some syntax coloring with most themes - but still allow themes to override the colors.

If you would like to make the colors look more like the vim darkbg style, add the definitions from the included optional-add-to-theme.xml file to your theme, or perhaps use the Sublime Theme Editor to customize.

vim dark
