Diff syntax highlighting doesn't work

See original GitHub issue

Hi, using Sublime Text 2.0.1 and latest version of your plugin, for some reason diff syntax highlighting isn’t working. 😦 When running diff, it says in the status bar:

Info: Invalid language: Diff. Available: JavaScript, ..., Line 13, Column 1

Checked Sublime Packages for Diff folder - it’s there. What may be the problem?

@jonaf: Thank you for this. It was exactly what I was looking for.

This is what I am using with the iPlastic theme:

        <dict>
            <key>name</key>
            <string>diff.header</string>
            <key>scope</key>
            <string>meta.diff, meta.diff.header</string>
            <key>settings</key>
            <dict>
                <key>fontStyle</key>

                <string>#C30D19</string>
            </dict>
        </dict>
        <dict>
            <key>name</key>
            <string>diff.inserted</string>
            <key>scope</key>
            <string>markup.inserted</string>
            <key>settings</key>
            <dict>
                <key>foreground</key>
                <string>#009933</string>
            </dict>
        </dict>
        <dict>
            <key>name</key>
            <string>diff.changed</string>
            <key>scope</key>
            <string>markup.changed</string>
            <key>settings</key>
            <dict>
                <key>foreground</key>
                <string>#FF8000</string>
            </dict>
        </dict>

Which looks like this:

To make this work for other themes, the short-cut is to modify the *.tmTheme file for the theme you want to work, and copy over the diff definitions from the Monokai theme. I added this to my *.tmTheme file for the Wombat theme, and it works fine. (Note, you can change the hex values if you want to forcibly choose a different color scheme for diff specifically to better match your theme, i.e. if it’s a light-on-dark theme.)
