Fixed: different colors for different braces... that's weird...

Post by DerellLicht1 »

I don't know what to make of this change in 15.80... I actually selected the color that I wanted to use for all symbols, and I rather want the editor to use the color that I selected... different colors for different levels of braces, makes the code *harder* to read, not easier...

Could I have an option to turn that off??

Wait... that's not quite what is happening... apparently square brackets just use a different color than other symbols do... can I set that color separately?? I'll look in syntax highlighting and see... This is in C++ highlighter...

I don't see a separate setting for the square brackets... ??

ummm... but squiggly braces *do* use different colors for different levels of nesting... nope, that's not what I want...

For now, I have reverted to V15.75, and turned off auto-updates...

I'll wait for this weird multi-colored-braces change to be reverted, or at least have an option to avoid it...
I need my syntax-hiliting selection (for Symbols) to be recognized...

I realize that I'm thus missing out on some updates that were made specifically for me, I'll have to just live with it.

I'm not sure why you're so upset. It's just a beta version?

Anyway, there is an option (in the final version) in the "Environment -> Themes -> Customize..." dialog to turn it on/off.
