Latest Sublime Text JavaScript Syntax Highlighting Irregularities

[jonobr1]

Hey there,

Love the flatland theme, but noticed that when I updated to the latest Sublime Text 2 and 3 all my JS got way more orange. Here's what it used to look like:

And this is what it looks like now:

I'm not totally sure how themes work, but it looks like I'm not alone: https://forum.sublimetext.com/t/javascript-syntax-highlighting-changes-in-3103/17328

Indeed, the theme must be updated because last ST3 build introduced new syntax higlighting rules. I hope it won't take long since flatland is the best ST theme ever (EVER!) and now its js syntax higligthing is pretty useless - like almost everything is orange.

I'll look into this further. I'm sure it's just tweaking the Flatland Dark.tmTheme

wbond over on the Sublime Text Forum recommends updating themes like so (https://forum.sublimetext.com/t/javascript-syntax-highlighting-changes-in-3103/17328/36):

<dict>
    <key>name</key>
    <string>JS Accessor</string>
    <key>scope</key>
    <string>keyword.operator.accessor.js</string>
    <key>settings</key>
    <dict>
        <key>foreground</key>
        <string>#F8F8F2</string>
    </dict>
</dict>

I'm going to fork and give this a try.

@jonobr1 Any update on this? I've been holding off updating Sublime because of the breaking changes to the Flatland theme.

No update?
This issue has been open since 2 months now? :/

Adding the following settings to "Flatland Dark.tmTheme", most of the highlighting looks previous one.

Anything similar for C++ and other languages?
Why isn't the theme being updated itself?
