Thank you, @b4n! With your help and a fair amount of experimentation, I have been able to discover a few things:
1. This may be different in different DEs, but on my desktop (Cinnamon) the call_tips are entirely unaffected by whatever I put in the call_tips line. The calltips are determined by the "Applications" theme, so no matter what I put in my conf file, the calltips do not change. If `default=FGcolor;BGcolor` and I define `call_tips=BGcolor;FGcolor;true;true` (intending reverse video, similar to at least some other schemes) there is no change whatever I put for the values of FGcolor or BGcolor. But if I go to Preferences>Themes and change from, e.g., Mint-Y-Dark-Sand to Mint-Y-Dark-Red, the calltips do change (dramatically). I'll plan to leave something more or less sane in the conf file in case it makes a difference in some other DE. 2. I'm still not too sure how to reproduce whatever effect string_eol is supposed to have. I'll keep looking for languages like that and see what I can manage. 3. Labels are quite fascinating. I was not seeing anything because I was using a construct like:`label=keyword;;true` which shows up (in a Makefile, for example) in the default color (NOT the keyword color), though it is bold. OTOH, using `label=keyword,bold,italic` does result in labels that are in the "keyword" color as well as being bold and italic. This surprised me since `comment=dark_green;;;true` does make comments dark green and italic, but `comment=dark_green,italic` basically turns off comments, leaving them in the default color with no italics. 4. I don't really use python, but at least decorator seems to work as advertised, so `decorator=string_1,bold` does give the expected result. and most of the other schemes seem to use the string color for decorator, so I guess that must, at least, not be a glaring error. :) Anyway, that is what I have so far. I appreciate the help.
