I'm very new to Code::Blocks and it's my new favorite IDE. I used to use DevC++ a lot, and I'm getting into Ogre3D. It is said that they don't offer any support for DevC++ because it's developement was halted or something along those lines. Anyway, this is a great IDE. I was going to use VC++ (and I did install it), but it's so bloated and hard to get used to, I just ditched the idea. Then someone told me about Code::Blocks.
Anyway, I was wondering if it would be possible to add custom identifiers or keywords that would be highlighted a color the user specified. I ask this because identifiers like string or any custom classes I develop aren't highlighted and it'd be really nice if they could be. It'd make my code much easier to read.

Hi,
you can use lexer_cpp.xml to add new keywords. This can also be done using settings/editor/syntax highlighting and click the button keywords.

Thank you! I found that XML "User Keywords" element highlights keyword set 2. I changed it to highlight blue. :D
That way, I can keep track of the keywords I have highlighted as well as have it blend in, making it easier to read. Now I'm contemplating whether I can make an widget or something that allows me to make a list shown off to the side of all of my custom keywords.
