Theme isn't changed when selecting language

[silkfire]

When opening a file that VSCode isn't able to identify the language for, no theme is selected by default (if using a dark theme, the colors are white on black). So far so good. I'm able to myself specify which language VSCode should interpret the file as via the Command Palette. When I do this, the file is themed, but not with the theme that I specify with Theme by language, instead it uses the default theme. Only when I switch tabs from one document and then back to it does it choose the correct theme. Is there a way for it to choose the configured theme right away when selecting language?

Yes it's a know limitation.
Maybe the API has changed since then and now it is something that is possible.

I haven't spent much time on the extension in a while. When I have time, this is definitely on my todo list :)
