In IntelliJ → Settings → Editor → Color Scheme → Dart, the Annotation color setting is only applied to const annotations (e.g. @freezed), but not to class-based annotations (e.g. @Freezed()).
Current Behavior
-
@freezed
- Highlighted using the
Metadata color (as expected for annotations).
-
@Freezed()
Freezed is highlighted as a regular class name.- Inherits color from
Classes → Class name instead of the Annotation/Metadata color.
This results in inconsistent highlighting between const and class-based annotations.
Expected Behavior
Both forms of annotations:
should use the same Annotation/Metadata color setting in the Dart color scheme.
Why This Matters
Class-based annotations are very common in Dart (e.g. @Freezed(), @JsonSerializable(), etc.). Treating them as regular classes instead of annotations makes it harder to visually distinguish annotations from other class usages and reduces consistency in syntax highlighting.
