Slick V3.3 manual Font Configuration Dialog

Font Configuration Dialog

•Attribute (HTML only) - This is the color used for a recognized attribute of an HTML tag. For ex- ample, the src attribute of the img tag gets this color.

•Cursor - This screen element is displayed in the active edit window when the cursor is placed on the command line. It is not the color of the blinking cursor.

•Current Line, Current Selected Line, Selection - SlickEdit Core will attempt to render these ele- ments using your normal color settings for the Foreground color. The selected Foreground color will only be used if there is not enough contrast between the font colors to be readable. It is best to specify a Background color for these elements that is as close as possible to your normal back- ground color, ensuring that the color-coded fonts are still easy to read.

•Foreground/Background - Click the color squares to change colors for the selected element. The Col- or Picker dialog is displayed, allowing you to pick a color from the palette or set your own custom color using RGB values.

•Use system default - When this option is selected, the operating system’s default colors are used. Currently, this check box is only available for the Status and Message fields. For UNIX, the system de- fault colors are selected by the editor and not the operating system.

•Sync backgrounds - Click to apply the current Background color as the Background color for other elements. The Select Colors to Update dialog appears, from which you can select specific elements to affect.

•Font Style - For color-coded elements, you may choose whether the element is normal, bolded, it- alicized, or underlined. For example, keywords are bold by default.

•Use fixed spacing for bold and italic fixed Unicode fonts - (Unicode support required) When this option is selected, and a fixed font is selected for a Unicode source window, bold and italic color-coding is supported. Since this requires the Unicode text to be converted to the active code page, some char- acters may be displayed incorrectly. The current editor display engine ignores bold and italic settings for proportional fonts or fixed Unicode fonts (which are treated like proportional fonts).

•OK - Applies color changes and closes the Color Settings dialog.

•Cancel - Restores all colors to the values they were when the Color Settings dialog box was first dis- played in the current editor session.

•Apply - Updates all modified screen elements, useful for previewing what the colors look like. The dia- log box is not closed so that you can make further changes if you wish.

•Reset - Restores all colors to the values they were when the editor was invoked.

•Schemes - Expands the Color Settings dialog box so you can try different color schemes, or define your own. See Using Color Schemes for more information.
