B4J Question Color coding for color blinded people

[Mashiane]

Ola

In my black ide, id like to see a "red" color for conflicts between globally defined variables and those of local subs.

Is it possible to achieve this?

Thanks.

Do you mean sub parameters? Dimming a global variable in a sub is allowed and is useful in many cases. It will not create a local variable.

Could you describe in what cases? AFAIK dimming a global variable only removes the current object and links to a new one.

Am I wrong?

Example 1:

Sub Process_Globals
 Dim s() As String
End Sub

Sub S1
 Dim s(100) As String
End Sub

Example 2:
Replacing the global object with a new one.

Ok let me clarify further... the matter is rather the "color" of the variable in the IDE.

Lets look at variable x. Its a variant of some light blue "color"

Now if we create a sub with any variable, the variables will be some variant of white "color". For example a here, its some color variant of "white"

Now lets create a sub and define in it an "x" variable. Now because this variable is global already and in a way "conflicts" with an existing variable definition, the color is blueish like.

At times noticing such "already defined globally" variables is tricky due to the "color" and one wants to improve their coding. How can the "already defined variables" rather show with a "red color" for example by the IDE.

Thanks.

Yes, it is possible to change this color.

Themes and fonts in 5.0

Hi Erel, I'm looking at my b4acolors utility to see what I need to do to support the 5.0 style editor themes. My question is: Can fonts be added to the themes as well as the various syntax and element colors beyond just the Bold property, or are fonts done strictly in the IDE itself? Thanks...
