    Just wondering what colour schemes you use for syntax colouring? The current articles on CodeProject use an old scheme (VC6 standard? Not sure) but my latest colour scheme is the same as last weeks CodeProject VS.NET package ad (Clickety). I'm also using a light grey background instead of pure white because it seems a little easier on the eyes. What's everyone else using? I feel the need for a change... cheers, Chris Maunder

    I use green for comments and for string it depends: red, light-red or dark blue. I hate the scheme with green string and brown comments. Best regards, Alexandru Savescu

      Oh, are the comments red now? WOOHOO. Finally I benefit from being red-green color blind. Cheers, Simon "Sign up for a chance to be among the first to experience the wrath of the gods.", Microsoft's home page (24/06/2002)

        The red/brown comments *are* rather distracting... Gray or green would be nicer, IMHO. Again IMHO, violet works nicely for strings. --------

                I'm old fashioned I guess. Green comments and blue keywords. The rest is black unless I'm on a unix terminal outside of X where the rest is white.

                    Well, I tried to capture a screen here at work, but pasting the captured image into Windows Pain(t) and then saving as a jpg file really trashes the image because it appears to severely compress the image, taking a lot of quality with it. You'll have to wait until i get home so I can use better tools. ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends

                      White text, black background. Keywords are cyan, operators purple, numbers teal. Strings are RED so they stand out and say "hey, move me to the string table!". ;) --Mike-- Just released - RightClick-Encrypt v1.3 - Adds fast & easy file encryption to Explorer My really out-of-date homepage Sonork-100.19012 Acid_Helm

                        Mine looks something like this if you view it on a black background. I tried to post it that way but the pre tag, table tag and div tags won't take the background color or they are controlled through the CP stylesheet.
