Title: Is syntax coloring modifiable?
Post by: bostonantifan on April 20, 2009, 02:13:05 am

I'm new to codeblocks, but so far I love it, with one exception.  The syntax colors aren't to my liking.  I'd like to be able to change them but I haven't been able to find an option to change them.  Does anyone know if changing the colors is possible, and if so, can you explain how I can do it?
Thanks

"Settings -> Editor... -> Syntax highlighting"

@jens

If I want to manually change or add some keywords. How can I do that?
It seems after I press the "keywords" button. I dialog pops up.

But what does the "Set" editor control with spin bar do? (see the screen shot)

Thanks.

Hi,

the wiki page contains some information about the lexer and the index /sets information.
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Creating_a_custom_lexer_for_Code::Blocks_editor

Code

This tells us which indices are valid and what each one represents:

Index 0, "Primary keywords and identifiers"
Index 1, "Secondary keywords and identifiers"
Index 2, "Documentation comment keywords"
(notice that index "3" is not used)
Index 4, "Global classes and typedefs" 

In the menu Settings->Editor->Code completion you can specify the additional key word sets to be included!

Thank you!
I appreciate your help!
I will try it.

Hello comrades, sorry for necropost.
Would you tell me how to copy my changed syntax highlighting from one computer to other one? Where does C::B keep these files?
Searched in Application Data, in C::B's folder, in help and in this forum - no answer :(
Thanks for Help,

Added: found it! That was here:
C:\Documents and Settings\<Profile_Name>\Application Data\codeblocks\default.conf
Thx for reading.

To import/export parts of default.conf you can/should use cb_share_config.
The exe should be in C::B's executable directory.
