june-night: color blue is hard to read (used by Markdown-plugin for headers)

[mkriele]

I am using June as my standard theme. It works very well with Jewel but when using the Markdown-plugin, headers appear in standard blue and are hard to read. I believe that this is due to the lines

    .cm-s-june-night span.cm-header {
      color: blue; }

in june-night.css. As far as I can see, they are not used by Jewel. Would it be possible to change blue to a color that is easier to read on dark background?

Thanks for the report – I'll fix this as soon as I can. If you want to fix this temporarily you should be able to change the colour directly, perhaps to something like #F0EFD0.

Thanks for your fast answer and thanks for the hint. #F0EFD0 works well and is easy to read. The only draw back with this color is that it similar to the color used by bullet lists. I ended up using a light orange #FFCC99 which makes the headers stand out a little more.

Cool, I'll give the orange a go when I fix this.

I noticed that in the Markdown plugin links and names of links are also blue and not affected by the color for span.cm-header. As far as I can see this color is not set by june-night.css. Either a setting from june-night.css is overridden or june-night.css doe not address this type of mark-up.
I am not bothered by the link color and just wanted to alert you to it.

Ok, I went for the pretty lazy option of changing headers and links to your orange colour, it'll be in the next release. I haven't really made any effort to make June work well with Markdown yet, but it'll be on the list when I start doing more CSS work.

Thanks! The color scheme works great for my mark-down file.
