Please return colored braces
« on: January 11, 2006, 02:19:13 pm »
Please, could we have our ability to color braces again.

For those of us with eyes over "49" the colored difference
between "()" and "{}"  is really important.

Since colored braces left, I've had 50% more
compiler errors.

thanks

Now that you mention it... the extremely useful matching brace underlining is gone too.

Editor settings -> Colors -> C/C++ -> Reset defaults

Fixed.

Yes, that semi-fixes it. The problem is that it doesn't respect the matching brace highlight background color. Actually the setting is respected but it isn't displayed when you have the active line highlight enabled :P.
The problem lies in scintilla where the active line highlight has a higher priority than other styles...
