I don’t know if anyone can help me here on this forum. In Brackets when creating a theme there is something called mode-aware styes, language-aware might be more accurate description, you can do like this with addModeClass flag set:

//CSS Specific  
.cm-m-css .cm-tag {  
color: #6c9ef8;  
}  
//PHP Specific  
.cm-m-clike .cm-tag {  
color: #6c9ef8;  
}

I’m trying to use ‘mode-aware’ styles in a Brackets theme (integrated into Dreamweaver CC 2017) But the above doesn’t work, do I need some additional selectors in there because of the enbedding or is it not possible?

Thanks …

You should delete the spaces between the class names. I.e. `.foo.bar` means an element with classes foo and bar, whereas `.foo .bar` means an element with class bar that has an ancestor with class foo.

Thanks,

yes it works in Brackets like the examples below, but for some reason the code-aware styles don’t work in Dreamweaver 2017 (Brackets is the embedded code editor in Dreamweaver now).

.cm-operator.cm-m-clike {color: #FFBF00}  
.cm-comment.cm-m-clike{color: #FFDD77;}  
.cm-string.cm-m-clike{color: #FFFF00;}
