[REQUEST][DONE thanx to Wxlearner] Now hide BLACK FOLD LINES in the editor!

<< < (2/6) > >>

idhan:
Its clear that for some user the black fold lines are useful and for others not. Personally I don't like this feature. I prefer the visual studio style.

The best solution is to be an optional feature, that way all the users get what they need :-)

Hmm...... I think to support different options might be a long way to go. :?
Please see scintella screenshot.

Biplab:
I wanted to reply your last thread. But it was closed.

FYI, wxScintilla (A derivative of Scintilla) is one of the core components of Code::Blocks (C::B). This is NOT Developed or Maintained by C::B team. We'll take up and fix a problem, iff the problem is in implementation of wxScintilla in C::B. We're not bothered about fixing any bugs or adding any new features in Scintilla or wxScintilla. It's beyond our scope.

So if you don't want to understand the problem and just yell on us that it sucks!!, any moderator will close your threads as the threads are very aggressive in nature.

Most commercial editors (MSVC, Borland Editors) do not use Scintilla and it could be one of the reasons that you don't see them.

If you are talking about wxDevC++, it's not using Scintilla (AFAIK). They use JVCL.


--- Quote from: foldingBLACKlinesSUCK on March 14, 2007, 08:18:06 pm ---1) Do you really like the DARK BLACK lines after folded blocks, Aren't they distracting?
2) Can really focus on what you do?
3) Doesn't it make the interface cluttery?

To sum up, AFAIK, it's a problem in Scintilla. There's no such easily accessible function which can allow us to change it easily. So if it really bothers you, do the following.

1. First, request Scintilla team to add this feature in their upcoming releases.
2. Once they add it, then make a request to wxScintilla team to update their release.
3. After wxScintilla has been updated, put a post here.

Try some other Scintilla based Text Editors and IDE, the behaviour would be same; you'll see the black lines.

Surely they don't use Scintilla; but the main point is that these companies carefully study everything. If they all choose NOT to put black line, it is NOT because their devs or someone else didn't like these lines.
As as pointed in my last post, they study scientifically how the brains react and take into account the presence or not of these lines. They concluded that the lines add supplementary work to the brain. The more there are lines on a screen, the more supplementary work for the brain. That means lesser time for the brain to think about everything else.

You are definitely right!
But we should request Scintilla team to support, shouldn't we?
