Is this still a global issue or is it just my zed? It seems like the syntax highlight lacks a bit, a lot of things share the same colour, especially when compared to neovim. Thank you for the amazing effort everyone.
@iamnbutler What are your thoughts on coloring lifetimes in our themes? It would indeed be nice to make them stand out a bit more like the examples people are showing.
I really, really like having type arguments/lifetimes both colorized and italicized.

It would be awesome to reuse my existing tree-sitter queries to merge/override zed's queries and just tweak the colors associated with the matches. Colors that differentiate between primitive types and type identifiers would also be great.
The lack of a user-facing, fine-grained customization for syntax highlighting is less than ideal. That said, it seems like zed is close to super-customizable and the vim integration probably the best outside of vim/neovim.
