Hi,

I'm writing up some info on colour schemes and through testing it seems that "marker_translucency" doesn't do anything. Can anyone test to confirm?

It says in the manual and filetypes.common file that it's supposed to control the translucency of the line markers (first arg) and the search indicators (second arg),

Actually it speaks about "the line marker [...] and the search marker", no indicator here.

but it seems that the line marker is hardcoded to fully opaque and that the search indicator is hardcoded to a fixed translucency level (not fully opaque).

It's entirely possible I'm missing (or misunderstanding) something.

I'd say that the doc is not clear on what this does, but it works properly. These values are used for the markers 0 (GCS_MARKER_LINE, line marker used e.g. when triggering "got tag definition") and 1 (GCS_MARKER_MARK, user marker).

These markers are generally displayed as a symbol in the marker margin (either an arrow or a plus sign), but are drawn as a line background if the marker margin isn't visible (View->Editor->Display Marker Margin). The translucency value is used only when drawing that background (see Scintilla docs: http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html#SCI_MARKERSETALPHA).

The search marker (GCS_MARKER_SEARCH, which actually is an indicator) however has an hard-coded alpha value of 60 (highlighting.c:680.

Maybe changing the docs from:

Translucency for the line marker (first argument) and the search marker (second argument). Values between 0 and 256 are accepted.

to:

Translucency for the line marker (first argument) and the user marker (second argument) when drawn as a line background. Values between 0 and 256 are accepted.

may help.

Hope it helps. Colomban
