Does anyone want to share their editor colors?

Hi

It looks like CB only comes with default white color environment. I am wondering if anyone would like to share their color settings? It would be nice to be able to have alternatives by default. I probably will end up making mines too(which will be availbale later)

thanks

Attached is a zipped copy of my default.conf file (renamed to colors.conf), and it has about 10 or 12 different color schemes in there.  Some are pretty nice, but some will make your eyes water.

Use "cb_share_config.exe" in your install directory to copy the color schemes into your own default.conf file.  After you load the colors into your default.conf file, find one that you like (more or less) then customize it for your own use.

Note that only the C/C++ syntax colors are included here (no FORTRAN or Java, etc), but it should be pretty simple to extend the colors to other languages.

The "cb_share_config.exe" program is in your CB program directory. All it does is copy certain config items from one config file to another config file.

First, make a backup copy of your "default.conf" file; for example "copy  default.conf  saved.conf"

Second, download "colors.conf" and put it in a temporary directory.

Third, run the "cb_share_config.exe" program; in the left-pane window select "colors.conf", in the right-pane window select your own "default.conf"

Fourth, in the list of items to copy over, select the "editor colors" (I think it's the 2nd or 3rd item from the top).

Then hit the copy button and exit.  Your "default.conf" now has (in addition to what you already had) the color schemes from colors.conf.

Run CB and select a new color scheme; if for some reason the "default.conf" got messed up, just copy your old one (that you named "saved.conf") back to "default.conf".
