| How about giving the option for changing background color as well? That would allow me to do reverse-video. |

| Or what about highlighting the vertical column between the brackets? Would help with indentation orientation. |

Hello all,
I second these two suggestions.
Would be nice if it is possible.
Thanks in advance.
With kind regards,
Patrick Luja |

I think in another thread about a different topic they said that controlling the background was harder than controlling the foreground, but I hope they find a way and can implement this too.

| I would find this feature very useful, especially when dealing with complex code that are several screens in size. |

this sounds very cool 
how would you see this working for the code:
for(int a = 0; a++; a < 10) {
for(int b = 0; b++; b < 5) {
// do something
}
}
# #
i would expect the columns with the red marks hightlighed myself |

Well, I would expect VAX to reformat this to normal, readable C++ style (the opening bracket on its own line) and THEN highlight the column  |

[I just realized, I agree with feline's brace style! But I admit, most people do it your way... ]
Yes No, and it needs to change those "x++" occurrences to "++x"... more efficient for non-built-in types, you know. 
Hey, welcome back...

Totally correct, Larry Maybe it could also exchange the condition with the instruction in the for statement in this sample.
Sorry about my lack of error reports, it's not because there are none, it's because I'm not using it much lately. But, hey, its you chance to catch up with posts |

i always used to put the open brackets on a new line, but where i work use the above style instead. it took me an age to get used to it  |

Personally, as a contractor, I've worked in so many different places, each with their own style, that I can't even remember half the time which style I originally preferred. I just do whatever their style is, and in three months it seems totally natural to me. So I can (and do!) argue both sides of most (but not all) formatting issues...

this was my first programming job, so quitting over the style would have been a bit extreme ;)
also, i had more than enough problems getting to grips with vi and Unix to worry about the formatting style  |
