Theme manager

Hi there,

I had an idea: these themes are beautiful, and it would be great to be able to set a theme per language (customisable). Do you see this as something on your roadmap?

Ya, that could be neat. A problem is that the background color has to be the same so that it matches the tabs (in certain UI themes), but the syntax highlighting could be different for each language.

Maybe something like blue-ish background and then html = red, css = blue, js = yellow.

Interesting point, I wasn't aware that this would be an issue. I guess in that case there would need to be a standard background that didn't have a tint of colour to it - which might make the themes a little less impactful.

Ya.. it could have the same background tint, but then just the 2nd hue would be different in each language.. like make these two share the same background, selectors/properties, but different values (red and green):

Not too big impact, but maybe still noticeable.

I think that could work. Yes, it would be noticeable... but I think people might overlook that for the wow-factor of being able to chose a hue per language.

It'd also make editing an interesting experience, as you'd be able to very clearly differentiate between your open files in Atom by associating the hues with languages.
