C/C++ variables are set red

[w-xy]

In C/C++, all variables are set red. It's too harsh when the C codes are full of variables.
I wonder if it's a bug, if not, how can I set the variables gray as in python codes?

Hello, Either you can change your theme to material theme or you can change your IDE. I personally use both Sublime text as well as VS code But in sublime text, the variables are not in red color. So it's completely your choice which option to choose to.
Happy Coding!!!

@sagarbarapatre02 Thanks for your suggestion, but I don't have a commercial lincense of sublime text, so vs code is the only choise for me. I use atom in my personal computer, and I really enjoy the One-Dark theme. I cannot give up easily...

could you provide the code in your screenshot

@Binaryify

#include <stdio.h>

void main()
{
   char *name = "Jack";
   printf("Hello, %s\n", name);
}

[Binaryify]

did you installed other extensions?
that name is not red in my vscode

@Binaryify
I reproduced the problem in my personal computer.
I installed the offcial extension: C/C++, and the name turned red immediately. When I disable the extension, it turns gray.
I noticed that there's a wavy line in your screenshot, which seems to mean you didn't install C/C++ extension, or you didn't configure the include path so the header file cannot be identified.
If you have installed the extension, you can just reproduct the problem without any header by this:
void main() { char *name = "Jack"; }

[Binaryify]

ok

[Binaryify]

still can't reproduced, did I miss something?

[w-xy]

It seems good in my WSL too. Could you please try it in Windows?

[Binaryify]

[w-xy]

[Binaryify]

[w-xy]

Thanks. It's fine now in my personal machine. I'll check it tomorrow.

Hi, it seems that the same problem happens again. All kinds of variable in C are coral now.

This can be reproduced on both Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04 with the only other extension C/C++ by Microsoft.

Local variables are light white only if C/C++ extension is disabled.

[Binaryify]

@Gytobp will fix that soon

[Binaryify]

@Gytobp you can check v3.12.3

In C#, all variables also are set red. Could you please change it too? =)

[Binaryify]

@e-potashkin ok

@Binaryify Hello，I am accustomed to the coral color of the variables in the C language. Now it was fixed as a bug. I am very uncomfortable. Can you make this an option?

[Binaryify]

@MoonChasing
you can add this in your settings.json

 "editor.semanticTokenColorCustomizations": {
    "rules": {
      "variable:c": {
        "foreground": "#e06c75"
      },
      "variable:cpp": {
        "foreground": "#e06c75"
      },
      "variable:cs": {
        "foreground": "#e06c75"
      }
    }
  },

@Binaryify Thank you very much.

Initially it was a jarring change. Wondering what Atom One Dark Pro does in this situation. It was kind of nice to be able to see the parameters at a glance easily. Don't really care enough to stray from the default behavior however.

It should be consistent with the original implementation of the theme. They should be grey. If red is preferred by some it could be a potential option. But if you are to make a clone of a colour theme then you should be consistent with it, otherwise what is the point ?

If you just want to keep using the defaults of one dark pro but still use the c/c++ extension, you can set the following extension setting:

"C_Cpp.enhancedColorization": "disabled"
