Hi

I want to change the "boring" white background of the editor
there seems to be no setting for the background , so i changed all items in the list to my desired color, but
then I notice that the "empty spaces" in the editor field remain white.
Is there a way to change the whole background color ?

Kind regards ,

Ronny

Hi Ronny,

I never played that much with editor configuration, but the best place to find some information about this is to head directly to the Scintilla editor Web site. We plugged the Scintilla editor into Ride7 without any internal change (we do not even recompile it).
The guys up there will possibly be helpful with the editor configuration oddities.

Regards,
Bruno.

Have you found the answer? As I have eyes problems, writing code with white background is very hard. I tried to change the editor.config file but it seems to have no effect. I've visited Scintilla's website and there is no answer on it unless you want to make your own editor.
By the way , one function doesn't work :
It seems that we can not make a new configuration for the editor colors.

The config file can be found at C:\Documents and Settings\yourWindowsUserName\Application Data\Ride7\config that could help

I can't find any documentation about how to fill these config file.
I tried to change default color, but nothing has changed. I've read Scintilla's doc.
I don't find any documentation about script files in RIDE7 and how to process a script function once the file has been loaded.
