What is the cross-hatching for? (Style Configurator)
-
If you open the themes you will see that they have different licenses
and/or copyright statements or non at all.
What needs to be done if there is no license or copyright statement but an author stated?
What needs to be done on GPL2?If one wants to bring all to the same level, all should have the same license, correct?
-
Well, you could always create the script anyway, and power-users could benefit by updating their individual copies of the theme files. It might be the thing that finally kicks me over the hump to stop using the default theme. :-)
But, yes, I guess I am not sure how to answer the licensing question.

Let me think about it.

@Ekopalypse said in What is the cross-hatching for? (Style Configurator):
0 = default foreground and background
1 = default background
2 = default foregroundThanks for that. I hadn’t known either about the right click or the colorStyle attribute values (neither was previously officially documented)
PR#81 for preferences docs include describing the right-click on the color box to get the same behavior.
Docs PR#82 includes describing that behavior in both the configuration files details and in the UDL (same attribute values in both).

and in the UDL
And in case you didn’t know, my experiments show that the “inherit from default” for UDL inherits from the Style Configurator > … >Default Style colors, not from the UDL > Default Style: > Styler. I made sure to document that.
And also found a bug in the UDL color box slash indicators.
So this discussion prompted two PRs and a bug report so far. Thanks. :-)

Thanks for that.
in case I wasn’t clear, thanks to everyone in this thread, who all contributed to the understanding.

And there’s more to come yet:

Hello @peterjones, @alan-kilborn, @ekopalypse, @michael-vincent, and All,
I have not migrated to
v7.8.6, yet. However, I noticed, since a very long time, the bug you mentioned, Peter, in the link below :https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/npp-usermanual/pull/81#issuecomment-614183652
To produce that issue, where both the background and foreground colors are available, where only one should be :
-
Start Notepad++ ( I did this test with the release
v7.8.5) -
Run for instance,
Settings > Style configurator -
Verify that the
Default ( stylers.xml)theme is selected -
Select the
Global Styleslanguage -
And select, for instance, the
Mark Style 1style -
By default :
-
The foreground color is not available and its color is a light grey
-
The background color is available and its color is a light blue (
0,255,255)
-
-
Now, switch from the
Default ( stylers.xml)theme to the nextBespintheme -
And switch back, immediately, to the
Default ( stylers.xml)theme -
Re-select the
Mark Style 1style -
This time :
-
As before, the background color is available and its color is a light blue (
0,255,255) -
But, the foreground color is, now, available and its color is a dark red (
204,0,0) ??!!

Best regards,

@guy038 ,
Weird. When I use my normal v7.8.5 portable, it never shows Global Styles > Mark 1 with greyed foreground. If I take a fresh v7.8.5 portable, it does start with Mark 1 greyed, and if I follow your path to Bespin and back, it gets ungreyed when I’m back in default sylers.xml.
Weird.

Hello, @peterjones, and All
I just redid the test of my previous post, with :
-
A new fresh dezipped
32 bitsportable version of N++v7.8.5in a folder, without any additional plugin other than default ones -
The new dezipped
32 bitsportable version of N++v7.8.6in an other folder, that I haven’t downloaded, yet
And I confirm the previous behaviour, with the two colors available, both for
v7.8.5andv7.8.6
Mauy be, once more, it could be only related to my
Win XPconfiguration ?BTW, to get the initial colors and default behaviour of the
Style Configurator, simply, stop and restart Notepad++Best Regards,
guy038

I can confirm the behavior.
But like @PeterJones, I see that only with a fresh version,
not with my regular version.With a fresh version I see the following:
disabled Tag Global override Default Style Indent guideline style Brace highlight style Bad brace colour fg Current line background colour fg Selected text colour bg Caret colour bg Edge colour Line number margin Fold bg Fold active Fold margin bg White space symbol fg Smart HighLighting fg Find Mark Style fg Mark Style 1 fg Mark Style 2 fg Mark Style 3 fg Mark Style 4 fg Mark Style 5 fg Incremental highlight all fg Tags match highlighting fg Tags attribute bg Active tab focused indicator bg Active tab unfocused indicator bg Active tab text Inactive tabs bg URL hoveredNow, if I change to Bespin theme and back
all but “Mark Style 2” are enabled.But if I do the same test with Choco theme,
then all of them, including Mark Style 2, will be enabled.I haven’t tested with other themes.

Same actual version numbers of Notepad++, just a freshly extracted one versus the one you use day-by-day (where maybe you’ve upgraded configuration files manually bit by bit)?
-
fresh version = portable, downloaded from npp without any modifications and additional plugins
regular version = my portable version - highly customized and with additional pluginsTest was done with npp 7.8.6 (fresh) and 7.8.5 (regular).
