No. It doesn't matter unless you are designing graphical objects for a UI (e.g. icons, logos, etc.). But that sort of thing is best left to actual graphics designers. Syntax highlighting is nice but not required to program. You can be fully blind and program - it is just text on a screen after all. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 *NEW* MyTaskFocus 1.1 Get on task.
