QB64pe version 3.0 released!

[SMcNeill]

at each start of version 3.0.0, qb64 adds in the config.ini file a new section as below :

[IDE WINDOW 2]

[IDE COLOR SETTINGS 2]

[IDE WINDOW 3]

[IDE COLOR SETTINGS 3]

[IDE WINDOW 4]

[IDE COLOR SETTINGS 4]

and the editor uses other colors...

is there any way to fix the editor's colors once and for all ?

no solution ??

[IDE WINDOW 2/3/4/and on] -- these you wouldn't want to mess with, even if you could.

Code: (Select All)

[IDE WINDOW 1]
IDE_Width=113
IDE_Height=45
IDE_TopPosition=398
IDE_LeftPosition=821

As you can see from the above, what it stores for you is the IDE size (in this as 113 characters wide and 45 characters high), and where it pops up on the screen when you start up the program (at screen position 398,821).   Unless you'd expect all your IDE windows to be the exact same size, and stack perfectly on top of each other, you can expect these values to change.   Two windows at the top of a 1920,1080 screen, each using up half of it, would have TopPosition 0, but their LeftPositions woudl be at 0 and 960 respectively.

As for the color scheme itself, it doesn't seem like it'd be a stretch to add a little checkbox to the IDE for "Use Color Scheme for all QB64 instances", and then allow you to have all your various IDE windows start with whatever you choose for your color scheme.  Make a request for it as an enhancement in the github, and someone will get around to looking into it when they have a little free time for it.  (Without those requests, we're human -- we tend to forget over time what others have asked about.  Tacking a request in the github is a real good way to make certain that your suggestion doesn't get lost in time.)
