More vivsible whitespace chars - everyone has hi-res LCDs

Post by leegold »

I asked in 2003. Now with everyone having hi-resolution LCD monitors it would be even more helpful to have customizable whitespace characters (tabs and spaces) to make them more visible.

I can hardly see them. It's a text editor and I need to clearly see file content. Please!

Configure/Preferences/Class
Select the class(es)
Select Color/Scroll down to Visible Spaces, and set desired colors for Background and Foreground..
Apply and OK, repeat for each class.

===============
When making configuration changes I find it best to follow these steps, especially for any changes in Classes:

1. Close all other copies of TextPad.
2. Close all open documents, INCLUDING THE DEFAULT NEW BLANK DOCUMENT.
3. Make the changes you want: Configure/Preferences/......
4. Apply and OK your way out the configurations.
5. Close TextPad.
6. Open TextPad again, and your changes should be good.
Hope this was helpful.............good luck,
Bob
