I'm using github.io to host a website that's built with Jekyll. I'm having a little trouble customizing my configuration.

I don't like the default syntax coloring, so I want to change the coloring scheme. I researched this a bit, and I found some very complicated solutions that involve changing my local installation of Jekyll. I want it to work remotely on github.io, so I don't think that would work for me even if I did it. Is there a simple way to do this? Maybe just modifying _config.yml?

  • This is likely just a matter of editing the CSS / SCSS to your liking. I don't think there are a preset number of "themes" to choose from, but you can choose the exact colors. – vcsjones Sep 30 '16 at 18:44
  • Thanks for the feedback. I had a look at the source of a rendered page, and I see that there are span classes with names like 's', 'kn', 'n', and 'o' that seem to represent different colors in the syntax highlighting. I could set the colors for each of these with CSS, but I was hoping that there would be themes available. – Pet Detective Sep 30 '16 at 20:42
  • You might be able to find some themes around, but not built in to Jekyll. – vcsjones Sep 30 '16 at 20:47

    I think I found the relevant SCSS file in _sass/_highlights.scss. Editing this should be simple enough, but there are 68 different syntax classes to deal with. – Pet Detective Sep 30 '16 at 20:51
