I have just started using newest Xojo2024R3, using it for Web App on Mac OS.
I am in the habit of double-clicking on the single word I want to copy/paste in IDE.
Now, the IDE highlits the selected line (I think this is the newest feature for high res monitors if I remember correctly from release notes) but the problem is that it is now impossible to see the highlighted word:
Is there a way to use different color for indicating highlighted line vs highlighted word in the current line in the IDE?
In case somebody wonders, I wanted to do the search on “AccountSearchButton” in the code so I double clicked and wanted to copy with Ctrl-C but wasn’t sure if I selected the string.
It respects my system highlight color (yellow) on the Mac.
Which platform, and what is your system highlight color?
You can also adjust the Row Highlight Color in Settings → Coding, but be warned: the first time I tried this, the IDE crashed. After restarting the IDE, I was able to change it.
Kem, thanks for quick response. I am on 2021 M1 Pro, using Ventura 13.5, I don’t want to update the OS. I typically stay away from customizing anything and expect the defaults to be the best for regular user. So, my default is light greay. I also use the regular color theme (don’t use the “dark mode”).
I am going to use Xojo2024R3 as of this morning going forward and not planning on using older version anymore, I just see that the highliting of the selected line is annoying now, maybe I will get used to it.
Also I use inline comments a lot, change them too, so if I have to select part of the inline comment the current line selection color prevents me from seeing selected portion.
This is what I have, I have never bothered changing the default, now I need to find out where to change the color to distinguish between selected line and selected portion of the text.
This is the first time I change those settings. I set 240 - 240 - 240 to Row Highlight because the gray was too dark for me.
I miss (Xojo removed that a long time ago) the row number which appeared when the mouse was over a row. Now I have to check “Show line number in gutter”. It is ok as I now use a MacBook 16" instead of a 15".
