A nice config for the Max IDE

I based this on what I had set for my Blitzplus configuration. I'm not sure how true it is to the default, but it's fairly similar to the classic blitz look anyway, and a hell of a lot easier on the eyes, and more efficent with regards to space too, especailly with the font used for the side panel which can be much narrower now while still managing allow you to expand all the help items without having to scroll to see them.

Here are a couple images showing how the different colors and fonts for each section look:
Image 1
Image 2

And here is the config:
Editor:
Background - 21, 69, 112 Font: FixedSys 12
PlainText - 255, 255, 255
Remarks - 255, 255, 0
Keywords - 170, 255, 255
Tabsize - 4

Tools:

Output -
Fore: 128,128,129
Back: 0,0,0
Font: FixedSys 12

Navbar -
Fore: 255, 255, 255
Back: 21, 69, 112
Font: Verdana 10

I had to change the colors and fonts after I saw that white panel on the right where stuff was getting cut off because the font was too big, unless I made it huge. Seeing the white alone out of the corner of my eye while working in the darker code section was enough of an irritant by itself though. And I made the output window use different colors from the main program so it would be more obvious it was not code, and so it would resemble the output you get in older versions of Blitz when using Print without a call to init graphics. Like a Dos box. I used the dark gray color for the text so it would be easier on the eyes. It was hard to read lots of white or light gray text all clumped together like that. But the darker gray reads fairly easily.

grable,

That screenshot reminds me of the good old days with Turbo Pascal.

Cheers,

Nice colors muzzer, could you post your values ?

You can tell a lot by how someone colors their IDE.

TeaVirus is for example, color blind.

While Muzzer on the other hand, is rather dull.

And Grable likes Turbo Pascal, while Jim Brown prefers fishing.

Mark Tiffany is also the outdoorsy-type, but he prefers something with a bit more action, like sitting in a tree for hours with a crossbow waiting for a deer to come along.

And Bill? Bill's going to be Blind by the time he's 30.

"twang!"

darn, missed again!

(At some point I intend to add a host of presets to the Community IDE, and will include several of the above at least).
