I'm not in a position to know whether anyone has such plans, but I
assume that trying to standardise syntax highlighting is probably a can
of worms that no-one would want to open, as it is just too subjective an
issue.  However, I seem to remember that you can use /setminted to set
the style and

  pygmentize -L styles

will give you a list of predefined styles.  Maybe one of them is suitable.

Cheers,

Loris
