As we all know hbIDE is only 1 month 19 days old PLUS the whole learning curve to exploit Qt PLUS the memory ploblems of hbQT, I feel hbIDE is at a pretty good grounds. It is a general programming fact that a developer tends to drift with fascinations and knowledge points and I, with hbIDE, is not an exception. Sometimes you start some feature but end up implementing altogether different, because, in the process of implemention of planned feature you learned entirely new which in turn get implemented out of sheer curisity and fascination. Block copy/paste is a real challenge and Qt does not provide for any built-in functionality. So it is taking a time. As far as editing and building a project, hbIDE has got some grounds. >> I know hbide is at very alpha stage and I do not want to say, that themes >> are not important for a good product, but it is not that we need to begin >> using the application. > > We can certainly discuss priorities (even HBQT is > far from stable yet), but eventually some sort of > "theming" or color setup is inevitable I guess. > I'd only be happier if the default would be more > clean cut MSVS/Eclipse/NetBeans-like, and not overly > colored.

Anybody with MSVS/Eclispse, etc IDE's color schemes? Today I implemented speed optimization, it is worth watching. Another point is the speed of syntax highlighting the first time text is pushed into editor where Qt tends to format the whole document at once. To me it sounds bug. It should been like highlighting the viewport full of lines. But I have an idea how to control. Once I get hold of it, speed issue will be resolved for ever. For rest of the features it is just a matter of time which I have in plenty at this moment.
