Description: In the course of compiling a JSP, I encountered a syntax error. When I double click on the item in the output window, the source editor is opened with the error line highlighted in the (I guess) default pinkish/orange color. If the line contains static text (deep pink), it is extremely hard to read this text. In my case, the error was in this static text (there was both a " and a ' next to each other) and it took me quite a while to see what was wrong. In Pilsen, the line was highlighted in light green and all the text on that line was changed to black (with reserved words and tags in bold). Suggested Fix: Since the pink/orange highlight for errors is standard in NB 3.3, we should not override it. However, it may be a good idea to follow the Pilsen approach and change the text color on the line to black with tags/reserved words in bold. Perhaps tag attributes could be shown in italics instead of their normal deep green color for this line. Attempting to verify this in s1s5se build 030206_1, I see that the line is still highlighted as described, not with the text in black as discussed in the suggested fix. The magenta of the tag attribute values is difficult to read against the orangish-red background color of the line. jrush@netbeans.org 2003-02-08A comment.
