Color the Code
Apr 3rd, 2006, 12:34pm  
Hi !

I've just worked with Processing and it came to my mind, that coloring the background of the code would be nice feature to keep the code easier overviewable.

It could work by selecting code as usual and then click on a colorfield, maybe 6-8 of them. A colored bar could then appear on the left side for example.

I'm sure you've been thinking of lots a ideas, but that are my 2 cents.

Here is a little illustration.

I think the problem with that is that there's currently no project file, so that stuff can't be saved, unless saved in the pde (then ignored by the compiler).. but it is in deed a good idea.. and with the color-picker implemented you could select your own color Smiley

fry or reas will probably correct me if i'm wrong Smiley

a project file is actually not that bad of an idea.. it opens up for more controll over your projects.. but .. it's all up to fry and reas!

That sounds awesome -

maybe it could be implemented in the commenting, like at the end of the line: five spaces then:::     //begin_blue
