Usually there are complains that documentation either comes too late or never ...

Here I give you the possibility for a new kind of complain:

With the current version of WinBuilder 076 this Tutorial is not applicable.

It is valid for WB 077 and later

Now the item itself:

The Syntax Highlighting in WinBuilder has some colors and font styles, I decided.

As known, many members have different opinions about 'beautyness' than me (Themes, classic style etc.)

To help these members to use their own HighLighter Style, I added the possibility to change this style.

To make changes you have to

• Create an empty section [HighLighter] in WinBuilder.ini.
• Start WinBuilder and exit it.

That fills the previously empty section with 'my' values:

[HighLighter]

Comment=Style:[fsItalic]|Foreground:clGray

String=Foreground:clRed

Variable=Foreground:clGreen

Number=ForeGround:clBlue

CommandItems=Style:[fsBold]

IfItems=Foreground:clMaroon|Style:[fsBold]

StrFormatItems=Foreground:clMaroon|Style:[fsBold,fsItalic]

SystemItems=Foreground:clMaroon|Style:[fsBold,fsUnderline]

OtherItems=Foreground:clMaroon

BooleanItems=Foreground:clTeal

If you change anything here, it will be used for you.

Generally, at every 'text-class' you can change 3 different items:

• Style (font: bold, italic, strikethrough, underline)
• Foreground (color of the text)
• Background (color of the background)

If there is more than one item, you must use the vertical bar as delimiter

Style: A set of font options, valid is:

• fsItalic
• fsBold
• fsUnderline
• fsStrikeOut

As a set, it must be included in brackets, multiple properties are separated by comma.

Allowed colors for Foreground and Background (original names by Billy the Door)

• clAqua
• clBlack
• clBlue
• clCream
• clDkGray
• clFuchsia
• clGray
• clGreen
• clLime
• clLtGray
• clMaroon
• clMedGray
• clMoneyGreen
• clNavy
• clOlive
• clPurple;

BTW: Inspite this currently seems to be unusable trash, it will become valid soon.
