User stylesheet modifications

Fixes:

Some UI may cause the cursor to appear as invisible, or the same as the background color, in search boxes. If you have this issue, you can add this to your stylesheet:

.cursor {
  color: rgba(244,129,187,1);
  border-left: 2px solid rgba(244,129,187,1) !important;
}

Suggested modifications for the default UI theme (One Light)

// style the active tab in One Light UI theme
@soft-purple-darker: #b4addf;
.tab-bar .tab.texteditor.active {
  background-color: #f9f5f5 !important;
}
.tab.texteditor.active::before {
  background: @soft-purple-darker !important;
  width: 4px !important;
}
.tab-bar .close-icon {
  color: @soft-purple-darkest !important;
}
.tab-bar .close-icon:hover {
  color: @soft-text-dark !important;
  background: #fff !important;
}

Other modifications that compliment this theme nicely:

// BPMono is a cute rounded fond that looks nice in italics.

// Italic BPMono for comments:
atom-text-editor::shadow .comment {
  font-family: "BPMono";
  vertical-align: top;
  font-style: italic;
}

// Italic BPMono for function declaration:
// targets the word "function" when declaring a function
.syntax--type.syntax--function.syntax--js:not(.syntax--arrow) {
  font-family: "BPMono";
  font-style: italic;
}

// I like to use the Fira Code ligatures,
// even if i'm using another main font
.syntax--keyword.syntax--operator {
    font-family: "Fira Code";
}

Contributing

TODO:

move all color definitions into one place, written in a standardized way, to make it easier to keep track, make alternate versions of the theme, and port to other programs.

Currently only styled with JS, CSS, and HTML in mind.

Happy to hear any input <3
