Description

Is there a way to override styles by loading data from text file (json f.e.)? I've tried it, but it doesn't work -- all text is black.

File: https://github.com/uselessvevo/editor/blob/main/editor/assets/themes/light%20theme/editor/style.json

Research direction

Start by reading editor/components/editor/lexer.py at the linked line and comparing its handling of Style.styles with the data in editor/assets/themes/light theme/editor/style.json. Verify why the JSON-defined styles do not affect highlighting; done means the configured styles are applied instead of rendering all text black.
