Changing Processing IDE color scheme

Processing
19

understand, like it is kind of relaxing…
but the

syntax highlighting

actually has the opposite idea, to catch your eyes on the program structure…
so it was my idea to bring

// comments
/* and other info */

more to the background
but as i say, just a private remark.

//____________________________________
for the other thing:

distributing/publishing a preferences.txt file

i hope a expert can jump in.

no,no, not worry,

yes, might be better.

but actually i think the whole thing could be discussed
as a kind of processing 4.0 wish.

  • -a- move the editor color settings out of preferences.txt
  • -b- into the theme.txt
    it is now obvious to me that background and text color have to work together.
  • -c- move the theme.txt file to the “user” directory where preferences is
  • -d- make a file select entry in preferences.txt so we can hold several theme.txt files
  • -e- allow IDE /File/Preferences to select one of that files
