Syntax colors

Post by LandLord323 »

I want to know where if I can define the syntax color coding in the syntax file? If not, how can I extract the exact color to put it in the syntax file(commented) so everyone that uses my syntax file will have the same color?

No easy way to do that. Must be done manually.

What I have done is included the Color info as comments in the syntax file. Here is an excerpt from my Macro Scheduler syntax file:
[Keywords 3]
;Navy (0,0,128)- Conditionals
If
IfFileExists
IFE
IfFileChanged
IFC
IfWindowOpen
IFW
IfDirExists
IFD

[Keywords 4]
;Red (255,0,0)- Navigation
Goto
Label
Repeat
Until
Gosub
SRT
End

[Keywords 5]
;Sea Green (64,128,128)- Visual Basic
VBSTART
VBEND
VBEVAL
Hope this was helpful.............good luck,
Bob
