Just noticed that I can set a default background color and it works across the board!  :o No more white blocks on the brace matching.

Spoke too soon. I have found an issue with it. When loading a file that is read-only, and going back to the regular c/c++ file, the background on these will turn to grey. Or if another file is loaded that uses white as a background, the colour will turn to white.  :(

Well, I noticed that on read-only files, the background would turn to grey. I thought it was normal, but on a second thought... it shouldn't be that way, should it?

I think it is a very useful visual clue - you don't have to get angry because editing won't work.
Since most SCM systems use write protection when you need to acquire a lock, for example, this is a good reminder.

No argument about a different colour for the background on read only files. But a lot of things are hardcoded into C::B and they turn into a pain in the ass when you aren't using the program the same way. I load a lot of readonly files into C::B, and I end up having to copy them into a folder and making those copies non read only so C::B doesn't blind me.

I made a file and I gave it a typo-ed extension instead of .h last night, and for the rest of the session, I had white backgrounds behind all my braces. And then if I did load a read only file, I had a grey background.  :o

Just a small annoyance when I load a read-only by mistake and I have to shutdown and restart. Something I've wondered is why the background changes to red when I have a > or ( symbol typed? I was using some STL streams, and everytime I typed a line I got some red flashes using the << and >> operators. :lol:
