@jasongilman: I've tamed the red a bit in my custom styles.less

Cool. That's good timing. I just released a new version of Proto REPL with some small changes. One of them is to add a class to the REPL text editor of 'proto-repl-repl'. That will let you target the css to be more specific.

I was able to disable it completely in the REPL (but keep it elsewhere) using this

atom-text-editor::shadow .proto-repl-repl .lisp-syntax-error .region {
  background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) !important;
}

Thanks!!

@jasongilman: would it make sense to package protorepl with that style included?

I was going to update the issue, but I see you've already posted there :thumbsup:

Yeah it would make sense to do that. Most people would prefer it doesn't display that way.

Was also thinking about the buffer using Clojure mode for syntax highlighting - it makes sense, but only up to a point. I mean it definitely looks better than plain text, but it does get confused when your logs contain non clojure text.

it would be cool if it could distinguish between text and clojure somehow, but I think it's out of reach for now

I've really been enjoying protorepl BTW. I've tried using emacs, and it's daunting.

I made a screencast to help introduce people to using proto-repl-charts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJUI1ntfPy8

nice @james Thanks for sharing
