VB IDE Colours...

[darre1]

Hello all,

i know you can set the colours of your text in the VB IDE, but i was wondering if there is anyway to set all text in quotes "blah", to grey or something, just to make it easier to distinguish between text in quotes and normal VB code.

here is a screendump of how i like my code. i set the Identifier text to dark grey, and all other text to black, but that will still keep various other things black.

Do you have any other strange preferences?

indeed! as you can see, i use the font Terminal at size 6, which most people struggle to read.

i dunno why having normal text and identifiers a different colour is strange though, i find it makes it easier to read.

I suppose you just get used to doing something a certain way and find other peoples methods strange.
Like trying to understand vegetarians and tea-totalers I guess.

yeh but can you JUST set the quotes and the text between them to grey, leaving the rest black??? - Just like it does with the examples in the API guide - ever noticed that???

[GlenW]

I'd never noticed that, it looks quite good.
I'm going to try to find out how to do it.

You should look into making a VB-Addin that will accomplish this.
