Display disabled code in a different color in SciTE

[Jos]

I thank you for this, but I do wonder why mine were the same color.

Commentlines (;) use style 1 
CommentBlocks (#cs..#cs) use style 2

# Comment line
style.au3.1=fore:#008000,italics
# Comment block
style.au3.2=fore:#008000,italics

Change it to what you like to see. The default is similar colors, but the old SciTE color settings were having a slight difference

# Comment line
style.au3.1=fore:#009933,italics,back:#F0F4F9
# Comment block
style.au3.2=fore:#669900,italics,back:#F0F4F9

I think I should open a poll for this and If we will see that many want it then maybe he will decide to work on it even though it's big deal.  I think it's worth to develop it but this is my personal opinion.

You can do whatever you want but I am not going to make the changes to scilexer.dll, all LUA scripts that take comments into account, Tidy and AU3Stripper, just because you like to have this "Nice to Have".

As I wrote about the quoting issue that I am plagued with...I am not able to quote you (or at least show it).

I can see the difference in color, but it only happens when I start the line with #CE, once I replace #CE is with #CS, it is the exact color of the one line comment. I start my comment lines with #CE all the time, as I want to be able to show what code I want to comment, and starting with #CS, comments out everything below it - if you know what I mean.

When I create a block of comments...I start the block with #ce, as this allow me to see the rest of code in the original color (red for comments ect. - say the comment block is 15 lines or more), if I use #cs to start the line, all the code below the #cs, changes to the default color (what ever color it is). So starting my line with #ce, allows me to see a different color, than the one started with the semi colon (for a one line comment). I can see the different color, it is similar, but I can see the difference. Once I go to the end of my code block and use #ce, I then go up to the start, and change the first #ce, to the correct #cs, this changes all the color in the code block back to the same color that was used for a one line comment.

 

It is a mute point now, as I have change the default color for the code block as suggested above, but it might be something worth checking out on a new install, to see if it carries over? But I uploaded a screen shot, notice the color is close to the original one line code. I can show you the other side, as I have change the default color as of now.

You wouldn't start a block with #ce, that's what you use to end the block. #CS = #comments-start, #CE = #comments-end.

I start code block with #ce, then go down to where I want to end it and put #ce, for end, then go back uo and change the #ce to #cs to start comment block, it is so that I can still see the syntax color of the code, so I know where it is that I want to end my code block - otherwise all the code changes to comment green. If I need to take screen shots to show you, it will have to wait until tomorrow.

I am still unsure what you are seeing that is wrong. The CommentBlock color is by choice similar to the comment line color by default.

As a default install, if you are saying they are suppose to be different colors, I believe that statement is wrong. As I have said, that I have change nothing, except turning of the ERRORS in the code area of Scite, as Tidy was not always removing them, and I can click in the console area, and get to the line and figure out the ERROR.

That being said, when I used the comment blocks (until I just changed them, from info in post #17, using the GUI as that looked a lot easier), there was no difference in color. The only color difference I noticed was when I started by code block with #ce (and I know it is not how to start a code block, but above I have explained why I do it).

 

Since I have changed my color, I did a NEW INSTALL on a VM...please look at the pic

Seems my English isn't clear enough.  
I think I have said now at least 3 times that the Commentblock and Commentline colors are similar (the same) by default!
This was decided when the current (new) color scheme was made for SciTE. My old scheme has a slight difference as I stated in post #24 in this thread.

Sorry, I read your post 24 wrong...I like your old color scheme then. Thanks for putting up with an aging old man.

 

Though, 'similar' is not the same as 'the same', the same is the exact copy, while similar is close but not the same. Like the color burgundy is similar to color maroon, but not the same.
