I've got a memory like an elephant
and cannot write down the simplest things
Question:
How do I get the hints warnings and errors to show on the right side of the
editor screen?
Look at the settings options that Ryan responded with. If that doesn't
work, check to see if the dock drawer is visible. I sometimes have a
hard time finding the hints warnings and errors window. The best
places to look are the View windows dropdown menu (check to make sure
the right things are checked) and the right half of the screen
(sometimes the hints, warnings and errors window goes there, but it
hides along the right border, and you need to move the mouse over it
to make it grow. Other times it positions itself along the right half
of the screen but it makes itself very thin. In those cases, you need
to click on the left edge of it and drag the window wider with the
mouse.
How do I change the background color from that dos blue to white?
Either use somebody elses "exported settings" file, like the one Luis
sent you, or make your own color scheme.
If you want to make your own color scheme, you go to the Windows
Dropdown "Edit" menu and select "Editor Options".
In the "Option Areas" part of the Editor Options window, you'll see a
treeview with all the options. Select "Colors" under
"Languages/Highlighters". The "Languages/Highlighters - Colors"
options come up.
In the middleish of the window is a list of all the different
"Language Elements". It contains things like "Comment", "FileID",
"Float", "FormStatement", "FunctionDefinition","Identifier","Label",
etc.
Simply select the "Language Element" that you want to change, and
select new Foreground/Background colors.
I changed the background color of all my language elements to White. I
used and loved Turbo Pascal in the 80s, but I enjoy the bright and
simple white used in most modern day languages. Change the foreground
colors to whatever you like. I enjoy greens for my Strings and
StringIdentifiers (variables with a "$"). I like blues for my
NumericVariables and Numbers. I pick plain/drab/natural sorts of
colors for Comments, so they look different from the bright colors I
use for the code. I usually use brown. Its all your personal
preference, really.
I am installing my editor on my desktop and so far the only thing I was able
to find and do was to remove the bottom half of the screen to show more of
the program
I don't quite understand your question. Did you mean "Desktop
Computer" or your "Windows Desktop"?
What do you mean "show more of the program"? Are you having trouble
seeing the bottom half of the program? If the program is longer then
the screen, there should be a scrollbar for scrolling down.. What
specifically is the trouble you are having?
