How to get Google Prettify to render more like Visual Studio

It took me a while but I replicated exactly my Visual Studio's color configuration. Enjoy.

.com       { color: #008000; }
.str, .tag { color: #A31515; }
.kwd, .atv { color: #0000FF; }
.typ       { color: #2B91AF; }
.lit, .atn { color: #FF0000; }
.pun, .pln { color: #000000; }
.dec       { color: #800080; }

Comments are green, strings/tags reddish, keywords blue, types bluish, numbers red, punctuation black, declarations purple.


I don't use Visual Studio so I don't know the color scheme but Prettify is easy enough to modify.

  1. Download the full version (not the small version, as the CSS has been minified)
  2. Open the prettify.css file in the src directory. There are 10 or so "elements" you can change the color of.
  3. Grab the hex values of each color out of Visual Studio (if available; if not, you could use a color picker app to obtain the hex values).
  4. Replace the color attribute for each element in the CSS file.

I'd throw it together myself really quick if I knew the colors but hopefully this helps!
