I've changed the 'comments' color and expected the open files to update automatically. Unfortunately, no change.
Could you describe it more detailed? Do you use Tools->Options->Fonts&Colors->C/C++ Editor? What is the version of used cnd?
Env: * Netbeans 5.5 Beta * CND: Tools -> Module Manager tells me that C/C++ Class View, Make Projects and Native Development are all Version 1.0. Steps: In Tools -> Options -> Fonts & Color -> Syntax Tab Language: All Languages Category: Comment Font: Inherited Foreground: [255,102,0] (Orange color) Background: Inherited Effect: None (Foreground was the only one that I changed. And in the Preview, it shows the color of the comment has changed.) In my C/C++ code (open files, or files opened after the change), the comments remain a gray color. You mention "Tools->Options->Fonts&Colors->C/C++ Editor". I do not see C/C++ Editor. Is this a tab which supposed to be there? (Side note: I also tried, instead of changing a particular field, to change between Profile 'Netbeans' and 'CityLights'. That didn't change either, which made me conclude something bigger is wrong.)
I meant In Tools -> Options -> Fonts & Color -> Syntax Tab Language: C and C++ Before it was: Tools->Options->Advanced Options->Editor Settings->C and C++ Editor then on right side: Fonts & Colors. New Options works in trunk for C++, but problems for C files. In old builds settings worked only after restarting IDE :-(. Thanks for info!
Hi! Actually, on the language pull down menu (Syntax tab) I have no C nor C++ option.
Reminder. For c files problem is still actual... Changing color model for c files takes effect only after restart netbeans.
This bug seems to be fixed in NB 5.5 Beta 2. Both c++ and c files show the correct colour for comments now. And no restart is required.
