Thank you, I tried modifying filetypes.common but was not able to redefine just the color used for quoted text in a bash script file. Googling a bit more, it seems filetypes.sh might be the best place to modify this color. However, the algorithm used by geany seems pretty complex - does anyone perhaps know exactly which variable I would need to modify? Also, let's keep this on the mailing list, thanks. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
