Hello.

Regarding Point 10. Allow custom color for Document Map. This is not solved since I cannot see the option to view it.

Regards and great job BTW.

@Javier-Villajos ,

The colors will look slightly different in the Panel because it’s actually applied with transparency overtop whatever’s underneath. But Settings > Style Configurator > Global Styles > Document Map contains the color settings for the Document Map, as advertised in #10.

Are you using a custom theme? You will not see it unless you add it to the custom theme:

Notepad++/themes/myCustomTheme.xml

[...]
    <GlobalStyles>
        <!-- Attention : Don't modify the name of styleID="0" -->
[...]
        <WidgetStyle name="Document map" styleID="0" fgColor="2F393C" bgColor="81969A" fontStyle="0" />
    </GlobalStyles>
</NotepadPlus>

Note, change the fgColor and bgColor values to match the theme you want or just put anything and then you should see it in the Style Configurator (after a close and restart Notepad++) and can configure it there.

Cheers.

It seems to me that there may be a problem with tab width in UDLs in this version compared with v8.1.4. That is in 8.1.5 the tab size in UDLs seems to not respect the preference but is 8 spaces long. Sometimes you have to save and reopen the file to see this.
