I might be misreading something here but shouldn’t (color-prefs:lookup-in-color-scheme 'framework:syntax-color:scheme:keyword) get me the current style-delta that is being used for that type of entry?

I guess I don’t understand style-delta% enough. I’m trying to go from a style-delta% to a string suitable for framework:color-schemes. I wish marshalling the style delta gave me the correct format…

Facing another problem.

I expected code such as:

(color-prefs:lookup-in-color-scheme 'framework:basic-canvas-background) To reflect what is actually manually defined in the preferences screen but it does not. Can someone help finding a way to get the actual values used by DrRacket?

Interesting. It works for the theme “Classic” and “White on black”, but doesn’t work with other themes.

For other themes, (color-prefs:lookup-in-color-scheme 'framework:basic-canvas-background) is always '(255 255 255)

Even after we adjust the background color manually

EXACTLY!

I was building an entry for the quickscript competition, it was supposed to gather all the values you have manually set and export them to a new package so that it becomes easier for us to share colorschemes, but I can’t get accurate values.

The values I get seem to always resemble the ones in “Classic” regardless of any selected colorscheme or manual setting.

The implementation of color-prefs seems to have a lot of layered legacy and special case handling, iirc from looking through it a couple of months ago, and some issues which I started to document in https://github.com/racket/gui/issues/179 and https://github.com/racket/drracket/issues/380 in case any of that helps.

In case the titles don’t seem directly relevant : the issues contain a lot of discussion beyond the issue mentioned in the title.
