Anybody knows why I am not getting the specified color of the caret by this line? Instead the caret color is some kind of blue.

I'll attach both files I'm working on. If somebody is willing to have a look please.

Caret color is not setting directly, sorry. real color of caret is got from combination: EdCaret color and text-background-color.

New theme files: 'fixed margin' color is too light. scrollbar scrollers backgnd is light too.
Also maybe see in the Wiki if needed:

Yes, because I didn't know what ID is for what UI element, so I just made it so bright, to see what happens when I apply it. Then later I fix them one by one. Haven't finished everything yet. And some UI elements I'm not even using obviously, hence I can't see what's going on because nothing happens when I apply the theme.
I can fix some of those along the way.

But regarding the Caret color, if the background is a dark blue or something like that, does that mean I can't have the caret in bright orange lets say? If it is possible, how? I don't understand how is the caret color a mixture of the caret color and the background color? I understand how to get different colors by mixing the primary colors and so on, but that's probably not what's happening here in CudaText.

> I don't understand how is the caret color a mixture of the caret color and the background color?

no, real-caret-color is a mixture: theme-caret-color XOR (boolean operator) text-back-color.
so we have
ORANGE = theme_color XOR DARKGRAY
from which maybe we can find theme_color.
