Re: RDi 9.6.0.7 fixpack is now available!

[Jason Olson <josys36@xxxxxxxxx>]

I use Dev Style in RDi without any issue.

The lone problem I found with it was context assist. If you were using a
dark theme when context assist would pop up you would only see a white
square. I contacted the developers of Dev Style and they had it fixed in a
few days. Past that I haven't had any other issues.

What I wish they would do with RDi is stop using Eclipse versions that
might as well be 400 years old. I understand using Eclipse, but I wish they
would have kept Code/400 up to date instead of jumping on the Eclipse
bandwagon.


Thanks,
