Just purchased TextPad and colors are not working. Colors worked fine in 4.x version. Do they need to be enabled in 5.2? Checked Configure > preferences

Uninstalled 5.2 - reinstalled 4.7.3 and it works fine. 5.2 buggy?

Thanks

Right click in the background and select Properties

Syntax tab, check Enable syntax highlighting

For your Syntax definition file, choose text.syn

Does it go blue?

Talleyrand, thanks for the instructions on how to manually enable highlighting. Your suggestion works for individual files.

I'm using 5.2 and think I should be able to turn highlighting on as a default for all documents of a certain class. However when I go to Configure -> Preferences -> Document Classes -> [class name] -> Syntax, check the "Enable syntax highlighting" box and press the Apply button nothing changes. I've tried this with a document of that class loaded and with no document loaded at all. The result is the same - no highlighting.

Any ideas on how to configure the default syntax highlighting?

Thanks for any help.

Duh, never mind. Typically, right after my previous post I realized I had not chosen the syntax file to use from the list of possibilies. No problem, the process I described does exactly as expected.

Sorry for time waste. It's great to have the boards to bounce ideas off.

Thanks
