My Notepad++ can't read style correctly
-
There’s several style in the stylers.model.xml file, but in the Style Configurator there’s just a few options for setting and when I open a file, the color style is not what that look like on other computer. (forgive my poor English, my native language is not English)
-
Your JSON is showing as styled, so Notepad++ is properly behaving as designed, and styling the JSON correctly.
However, I think what you’re commenting on is that
stylers.model.xml
lists 14 different styles, but your Style Configurator only shows 6.That’s because a default installation of Notepad++ uses
%AppData%\Notepad++\stylers.xml
as the Style Configurator config file. Thestylers.model.xml
you found in the Notepad++ program directory is what Notepad++ uses to re-create%AppData%\Notepad++\stylers.xml
if there isn’t one found. So, my guess is that you’ve updated Notepad++ on this computer, so that itsstylers.model.xml
is newer than your%AppData%\Notepad++\stylers.xml
. If you opened%AppData%\Notepad++\stylers.xml
(File | Open, and paste that string in), I believe it would only show the 6 styles that you can see.To fix this, you have two options:
- Delete and Re-create
stylers.xml
:- WARNING: if you had customized any of your colors in the style configurator, this method will delete those customizations and you will have to redo them. I do not recommend this method if you want to keep your custom colors; try method#2 instead.
- Close all open Notepad++ windows
- Go to
%AppData%\Notepad++\
and delete thestylers.xml
file - Open Notepad++. It will re-create
%AppData%\Notepad++\stylers.xml
- Style Configurator > JSON should show all 14 styles now.
- Manually merge the two
- WARNING: Do not change any Notepad++ settings until after step #6.
- Close all open Notepad++ windows.
- Open a single Notepad++ window.
- Open the files
stylers.model.xml
in one view, and%AppData%\Notepad++\stylers.xml
in the other - If you have the Compare plugin, you can compare the two files to find where differences are; otherwise, you can just manually compare the two, and copy rows from
stylers.model.xml
tostylers.xml
that were missing instylers.xml
. - Close Notepad++ without changing any other settings
- Open Notepad++.
- Style Configurator > JSON should show all 14 styles now.
