Hi Everyone
This is my first post here.
I am trying to change the syntax highlighting colours for ada. There are alternative themes available on line( such as tango ) but they don't support this language.
I was making good progress copying the colour definitions from the alternative filetypes that were supported but I have hit a dead end.
Most of the items have the new colours but identifiers don't seem to despite the identifier tag being changed in the file.
So in a little more detail, take this snippet: package body Option_Sets is
Keywords "package, body and is" are all fine but Options_Sets in not right.
I changed all the backgrounds in the filetypes.ada to a charcoal grey( 0x1E1E1E ) but the back ground is white and it has red font.
I also changed what I could in filetypes.common and there is no white background defined there yet I still have the white background.
The filetypes.ada I am modifying was copied from the installation directory. It is .21 built from source.
In addition the white background turns black upon being selected.
Is there another file responsible for the white background and red font, or some other solution? I should also mention I sent default to charcoal grey background as well.
Thanks for reading-Patrick
The standard filetypes.ada says identifier=identifier_1 meaning it is the common style named identifier_1 defined in filetypes.common for the default colourscheme and in alt.conf or other named schemes for alternative ones.
In filetypes.common identifier_1 style is set to identifier which is set to default which has a white background. So thats where it comes from.
If you are trying to change *all* the background of the edit window change it in the default style rather than changing all the individual styles for ada.
