Editor text hard to read
Hi,
Is there any setting to increase the contrast of the editor text?
I can change the colors, etc. but the entire text looks like it's kind of grayed out, hard to read.
Thanks,
Ed

Re: Editor text hard to read
There are many settings in the Options of Topstyle under the Editor - Color Coding where you can change the text colours to suit your needs. I have a specific set of colours I like for css, html, js and php plus I have also (with my poor eyesight, increased the overall font size.
You can change both text and background colours, this really is a user setting you need to just play with
You can also change the font, I use Bitstream Vera Sans Mono - you can download it here http://www.dafont.com/bitstream-vera-mono.font

I have changed colors, fonts, etc. All that works fine.
However, the overall text is almost grayed-out, no contrast, very hard to read.
It's a pity for this fine piece of software.

Re: Editor text hard to read
Overall text? Can you do a screen grab and post here so I can see what you mean? I have one of the issues you describe.

Sorry for the delay in replying, I don't visit these forums often enough, I will subscribe to the thread to get a message about your replies
That is certainly not normal
Can I suggest you go to Options > Options > Editor > Color Coding
Then select the Reset to Default Color Coding
It should look something like;
If that still fails get back to me (us) and we can try and sort it out with other suggestions.

Re: Editor text hard to read
I did as you suggested but, alas, it did not change one bit.
If I 'd see the edit text as you see it, I'd be more than happy.
Like you, Old Homesite fan using Topstyle 5, not really happy.
Thanks for all the help.

Re: Editor text hard to read
OK how about trying my settings and see if that sorts it out.
See the attached, unzip and copy it to your
USER\AppData\Roaming\Bradsoft.com\TopStyle\5.0\schemes folder
Let me know if this helps at all.

Re: Editor text hard to read
It worked!!!
A whole lot better, thanks a lot.
While I'm at it, is there any way to place an "Undo" button somewhere on a tool bar?
Sometimes I go 10 steps forward to check if a certain design thingy looks good and then, when I don't like it, I have to go back to "Edit" --> "Undo" ten times, which is very annoying.
Thanks again,
Ed

Re: Editor text hard to read
Excellent news
To add the undo and redo buttons you need to ensure that the Site tool bar is active and then the items you want to display are shown

The Site item is selected but, for the life of me, I can't locate that site tool bar.
Maybe I had one beer to many.

Re: Editor text hard to read
Turn them all off and then re-select the Site toolbar and see if it shows up and then add specific buttons

Sorry, I may be a bit dense.
I just can't find it.
Never mind.
Thanks anyway.

Re: Editor text hard to read
Finally figured it out.
It's the edit toolbar.
Thanks,

Re: Editor text hard to read
hmm mine is the Site one, but the Edit one makes more sense, maybe I modified it quite a while ago
