two-color syntax highlighting (vs code has more colors)

[ivang7]

Hey.

I noticed that in the code-server only three colors are used for syntax highlighting (blue for keywords, brown for strings, white for the rest).

VS code uses a lot more colors to highlight different elements - classes, interfaces, methods, etc.

Can this be fixed? maybe some extensions? or does it need to be improved on the code-server?
Are there any plans to make the highlighting more informative, similar to vs code?

I wonder if it's because code-server is using an older version of VS Code? code-server 3.6.2 is using VS Code 1.50.0 for example and 1.51.0 was just recently released. What versions of code-server and VS Code are you using? And do you have all the same extensions and themes installed on both?

I apologize for not answering for a long time.
The theme and plugins are installed the same.

Possibly the difference in LanguageServer for C #

When looking at the token and scope in the code-sever, you can see that there is no specific definition for the interface
code-server:

What versions of code-server and VS Code are you using?

I tried running the latest VS Code insiders with the Dark+ theme and created a new project with dotnet new but when I hover over the same token I only see storage.type.cs source.cs; I don't get anything about interfaces. I also tried the latest non-insiders VS Code but had the same result.

The only extension I have installed is the C# extension. I'm getting intellisense so the language server appears to be running. Do you have any other C#-related extensions installed? Maybe I'm missing one.

It looks like in your latest screenshot though code-server now has all the highlighting it was missing in your first screenshot. Was code-server initially using the Dark theme? That theme seems to have fewer colors.

Screenshot for reference, apologies for the bad quality as it's over VNC. This is from VS Code 1.51.1 on Ubuntu with dotnet and the C# extension installed using the Dark+ theme.
