Hi guys,

I succeeded in installing set_geany_colors tool and change the syntax highlighting color of geany in a satisfying way according to my taste except multiline comment blocks

example <<COMMENT this is a multiline comment block hello world! COMMENT

What language is that? Styles are language dependent, or at least they were until named styles support was added. It kind of looks like a 'here doc' from Perl/shell to my naive eyes. If it's perl, maybe try here_q/qq/qx style or something, although I'm not sure what that translates too in the set_geany_colors tool.

this will be highlighted in violet on violet/light-gray background I cannot find how to change this.

Even changing the colorscheme by loading any other conf file using set_geany_colors Any color will change but not this one.

You'll have to poke around in the filetypes.* files I guess if you're not using the named styles support.

Which is the key to add / change? I took a look at the manual without luck!

Did you try geany-themes? It's at least as easy as set_geany_colors, supports every language Geany supports, has many more pre-made themes, including all existing themes listed on the Geany Extras page (and even 1 or 2 from set_geany_colors), and is being actively maintained.

If I'm not mistaken, set_geany_colors basically did what named styles/Colorschemes do now. I think set_geany_colors filled a need that existed previously, judging by the first sentence of the overview "Geany itself currently has no concept of a 'colorscheme', per se.". It does now, might as well use it.

Thank you for any help Cheers Luca _______________________________________________ Geany mailing list Geany@uvena.de http://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany
