Re: hairline cursor line (Vertical Bar) color

Ken,

To change the color of the vertical bar (the cursor), you need to change
the 'Background' color. Although it seems sort of counter-intuitive,
that's how it works. It's done so that the text color doesn't change. The
'Foreground' color is always for the text color. The 'Background' color
is for the cursor, the background of selected text, etc.

Re: [WDSCI-L] hairline cursor line (Vertical Bar) color

Mike,

Thanks, I did try that, I change that cursor to "RED", and my flash
cursor block would show the selected text in RED...
Actually, sort of cool, I like that... :)

I happen to use a BLACK background, and the default Vertical Line
color of White works fine for me!

But, some of my co-workers, use the white back-ground, and the
Vertical line does not show up too well...

From the menu bar select 'Window' then 'Preferences'

Expand 'LPEX Editor' and select Appearance. You can set the color
of the 'cursor'. I believe the type of cursor (block or hairline)
is dependent on whether you're in insert or replace mode. I'm not
sure about the 'Show Block Nesting' color, but I believe since this
an extension to the basic LPEX editor, the extension is controlling
that--I've nothing authoritative on that, I'm just guessing.
