[C++] Incorrect text syntax color on generated image about codesnap HOT 12 CLOSED

I'm using an extension named Better Comments which install counts are about a million user.
it makes comments colorful. For example if you type //! my comment as a new comment line, it gets red.
Unfortunately CodeSnap shows all of those comments in default green color, not what is really shown on screen.

Thanks for the report,

What theme are you using? is this the default c++ language definition?

I thought it was default theme, but when I select the default theme, the colors match your generated image even in my editor.

I'm using the default dark theme on Windows 10. Yes, I didn't use any custom definition (I don't even know how to declare it yet). I also installed Polacode after this weird bug, seems to be affected as well. Did you try using my code?

After trying today, simple codes are now affected by this bug as well:

My settings.json file doesn't even have any modification related to theme: https://pastebin.com/DKeKVzhr

I'm using MinGW C++ compiler with C/C++ extensions installed if that helps, I will try cleaning my extensions folder or even deleting the entire data folder to see if the bug still exist.

Issue still persist even after resetting my VS Code data (I deleted the user-data folder and extensions\adpyke.codesnap-1.0.15 folder manually).

My list of installed extensions:

What's interesting is that when using the default vs code settings my token colors are slightly different. Even when using your cpp file. Variables are white not blue like yours, and look the same in CodeSnap. I'll investigate further when I have some free time

Maybe you don't have any C++ compiler installed or don't have C/C++ extensions installed?

What OS are you on? Looks like Windows 10 but just want to be sure

from codesnap.

I don't have the c++ compiler but I do have the extensions. I'll install the compiler when I'm at my pc later

from codesnap.

Yes, Windows 10 but LTSC edition. Doesn't make any difference to Windows 10 Pro/Home in this case.

In case you don't want to install C++ compiler (because you don't need it anyway), you can just use Nuwen's MinGW distro.

Extract it somewhere like C:\MinGW. Open Command Prompt, type set "PATH=%PATH%;C:\MinGW\bin" (where gcc.exe exist) and then type YourVSCodePath\Code.exe to run VS Code.

MinGW will now be recognized by VS Code without the need of installing it. Just delete C:\MinGW later. You may still need to configure the C/C++ extensions, though.

I'm now successfully reproducing the issue.

The colors are being changed by C_Cpp.enhancedColorization. Unfortunately I have not yet found a way to get colors set by extensions, only ones set by themes.

I'm fine with it actually, no need to push yourself. I'll try to make a request (or search for the same issue) on Polacode repo and see if it can get fixed, or maybe on VS Code repo itself.
