Set a color to every struct in c

#1

Hello, how can a set a color to every struct i use in c.
For example, every type is already blue, and every struct will be a different shade of blue, a darker one, or maybe a purple different from the purple of the numbers.

In the following example the type NinjaType would have a color.
typedef struct
{
uint16_t Number;
uint16_t Age;
uint8_t Gender;
uint8_t PurchaseMade;
}NinjaType;
typedef struct nodeNinja
{
NinjaType Ninja;
struct nodeNinja *Prev;
struct nodeNinja *Next;
}NodeNinja;

typedef struct
{
NodeNinja *First;
NodeNinja *Last;
}ListNinja;

That would require a static analysis to your code. I dont think ST’s syntax does that.

Or at least it would require a compiler to run over your code and provide callbacks to the ST highlighter, which is impossible with the current ST API.
