Ouch! Where did my IDE colors go?

Erel,

My B4A.xml file was replaced with the version 1.9 update. Now I've lost all my custom color settings that I liked so much. Were they saved anywhere I'm not seeing?

 

[Erel]

I'm afraid not. I will add a message about it next time...

I didn't see your post before putting up a message about recovering the XML file. Maybe it will work for you too.

See http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4android-updates-questions/16396-recovering-previous-b4a-xml-file.html

Erel,
Maybe you could make the xml file a separate download? That would be a good way to remember.

Of course, I'm making a backup this time:sign0161:

I recovered fairly easily by copying my VB.Net setup. Here it is if anyone wants it (Dark Blue background). I call it "OldFart with Bad Eyes"

<Styles>
<Style Key="IdeBackground" ForeColor="Navy"/>
<Style Key="ContentDivider" ForeColor="#C2D5DC"/>
<Style Key="LineNumber" ForeColor="#58859B" />
<Style Key="ToolTipBackground" ForeColor="#36598A" />
<Style Key="ToolTipDefaultStyle" ForeColor="#F0F0F0" />
<Style Key="DefaultStyle" ForeColor="#AAFFAA"/>
<Style Key="GlobalVariablesStyle" ForeColor="Cyan"/>
<Style Key="ReservedWordStyle" ForeColor="Yellow" />
<Style Key="NumberStyle" ForeColor="#FFFFFF" />
<Style Key="TypeWordStyle" ForeColor="Yellow" />
<Style Key="StringDefaultStyle" ForeColor="#FFFFFF" />
<Style Key="CommentDefaultStyle" ForeColor="Lime" />
<Style Key="SelectionHighlight" ForeColor="#2B70B6" />
<Style Key="ReferenceHighlight" ForeColor="#E0E0E0" />
<Style Key="UndeclaredIdentifier" ForeColor="#FF1E1E" />
<Style Key="PreProcessorDirectiveKeywordStyle" Name="Pre-Processor Directive Keyword" ForeColor="#FFE5C2" />
</Styles>

Where do I put these in my IDE?

It goes in the B4A.xml file under "<Styles>".
Check the Documentation Wiki for the IDE and follow the link for more info.
