Darker editor theme option/s

Which part do you mean by "actual file section"? Maybe post a picture? For me the sidebars and everything else honor the dark theme setting as far as the background is concerned. Or is it the text that is too bright?

[awsdert]

Yeah the text in the editor's editable textarea itself is too bright, not the UI. I know everyone has their own preferences and inventing a whole new code syntax style format would be a pain in the ass which is why I suggested supporting an existing code syntax style format.

By default the dark theme text area should look like this:

@jeremypw can something like an editorconfig override the color of the theme?

[awsdert]

Ah, turns out the "Follow system style" didn't apply to the UI but the editor huh? I totally though it applied to the UI because I didn't expect the system to have a theme for code syntax in the 1st place. In that case my bad. This is what I got when I had left it as system theme:

Since I had made an incorrect assumption I'll close this issue with this comment.

@zeebok I don't think editorconfig is intended to influence theming - see https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig/wiki/EditorConfig-Properties for current and proposed properties.

@awsdert I cannot get the text area and UI theming to conflict as shown in your screenshot - they are either both dark or both bright. I am using the default elementary system theming (OS7.1). I notice from your screenshot that you have different theming installed (as judged by the icons) so I do not know whether this is causing the problem.

Well this is the setup I have so maybe that has something to do with it? BTW I switched to the editor's dark theme by the time I thought to take this shot. Switching back to system theme results in the screenshot I previously took.
