Title: Change colour of classes
Post by: Sidhartha on February 25, 2012, 02:31:20 pm

Hi All,

Just started using CodeBlocks for C++... have got my editor colour set up as I want them...
However, I'm surprised to see that classes don't appear in their own colour... they simply seem to be shown in the foreground colour...

Am I missing something? I think it's really helpful to highlight classes in a different colour.

Thanks

No, there is no semantic highlighting implemented for code::blocks. Sorry.
If you really need it you can step up to implement it (it is not that simple).

Thanks for your quick reply.

Ok, fair enough. I'll live!

While I'm here, one more query... I am using a dark theme... dark grey background. Right now my cursor is black and I am seeing no 'active line highlight'... no matter what I set the colours of the 'active line' to be in the editor...

Again, am I missing something? I really need to see the active line clearly.

Many Thanks

"Settings -> Editor -> General settings -> [Editor settings -> ] Highlight line under caret" to highlight the actual line.
Whether you need the part in the brackets depends on your version of C::B .

"Settings -> Editor -> Margins and caret -> Caret -> Colour" to set the carets colour.

Not too hard to find I think.
