Whitespace foreground colour

Post by martinlooker »

When displaying whitespace, using View -> Whitespace the characters used to display the white space are not displayed in the forgeround colour set in the Colour Options for Whitespace data.

It looks like it is using the delimiter colour instead. Even for the double >> character showing spaces which is not listed in the delimiters. This is using the standard PHP keywords.

This is correct. Rather than add a visible whitespace colour option to the colour setup dialog, the visible whitespace was just assigned to the delimiter color instead.

What I was hoping to do was make the paragraph, space and tab whitespace characters show up in a very pale grey, so I could see them but so they were not so noticeable.

Anyway take this a suggestion for a future version, use the existing whitespace foreground colour to display the whitespace characters. This doesn't require the addition of a new Visible Whitespace colour option as you can already specify a Whitespace foreground colour, it just doesn't get used and if you are not displaying whitespace characters you won't see any characters in this foreground colour anyway.
