title: Syntax Highlighting Guide for Atom
body: <p>I am very pleased with the new editor by Github. Unfortunately it isn't exactly easy to customize it. I wanted to create my own Syntax Highlighting Theme, because I am not happy with the ones available to download (at least they don't seem to do well with Java)</p>
  
  <p>Now the files (syntax-variables, color.less, etc.) to style seem to be in:</p>
  
  <pre><code>~/.atom/ .../packages (if you want to change existing themes)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is just that I don't know which (CSS) classes style which elements of the syntax. Is there a place where I can look up how to change the color of for example variable type declarations?</p>
