Hi Erel,

I was wondering if you could change the color of the marker for the bookmark in the scroll bar from the dark yellow to something like light green.

I have a hard time distinguishing the bookmark color from the compiler warning colors.

Sometimes I have many unused variables that create yellow bars in the scroll bar. When I set a bookmark to quickly scroll to different part of my code, it is sometimes hard to figure out which is which... I end up using breakpoints to have red marks in the scroll bar. I know you can navigate from one bookmark to another but I set too many and it is not convenient...

Breakpoints works fine but when I then execute my code, I need to remove them... etc...

Is it possible to change it to a more flashy color or simply add an option in the IDE options to let us specify the bookmark color ? One nice feature would be to be able to have like 3 different colors for bookmarks to set visual cue in the scroll bar for easy access.

Another nice feature would be to be able to assign a color when you declare a region. When set, the scroll bar would change color according to the region position. That would make it very easy to scroll from region to region in the code...

At least just a change of color to the bookmark from dark yellow to light green.

Some of the colors can be changed by editing the B4A.xml file: IDE Color Schemes

The current statement color (yellow) cannot be changed.

I was talking about changing the color of the marker in the scroll bar not the actual code. It would help when I need to scroll to different part of the code.

I don't see an attribute to change the color of the marker for the bookmarks...

Is it possible for you to implement it in the scheme ?

As you can see the code bookmark is dark yellow and the code warning is light yellow... it makes it hard to quickly scroll to different parts of the code when there are many warnings.

You can change the "WarningColor" in the XML file.

Thanks that will help. This will do the trick.

Do you think that in a future version you could add a tag to change the color of the bookmark in the scroll bar and left icon ?

Would it also be possible to assign a background color when you declare a region. Like «#Region Billing #800080» or something like that ? When working on some part of your code it would make navigation easy instead of using the find dialog to go around from sub to sub...

Try using Jem 's b4acolors ,I think could help you

This is more problematic.

scrollviews in the designer would be nice in the next update... i have lots of views in my activities and need more space...

thanks

This is possible.


This is more problematic.

Cool. If the second part is problematic, it would be nice to have like 3 types of bookmark with assignable colors.

Thanks
