Uhm, yes, I'm asking for more coloring, not exactly "syntax" coloring: I'm talking about coloring the output of the compiler and linker (and the other standard tools).
I find it extremly annoying to wade through all these warnings coming from the stl and whatnot, to find errors or even messages inbetween.
Wouldnt it be really nice to be able to see errors in red, warnings in blue, messages in - say green?
Also, real syntax coloring of code related errors? Where the compiler quotes some code fragments? (I know that is asking a lot.)
Maybe, even allow different colors for different errors, warnings, etc? I mean they all have numbers to identify them. Then I could let C4786 in default grey, but C4244 in red because its important to me.

Very interesting suggestion, especially distignuishing errors, warnings and messages should be useful.
IFAIR VA X has a list of windows to exclude from coloring (Uniwares, you are probably the prime contributor to that list  ), so maybe for the begining WT could remove the output window from the list, to see what happens  |

| I agree. Having Errors in red and warnings in blue or green would go a long way towards identifying real problems faster. With the STL displaying those cryptic-incredibly-long messages all the time it is sometimes very difficult to quickly identify where the errors are. This is even more of a problem when you have co-workers who do nothing to eliminate all the waring messages in their projects. Oh, well, what can you do. |

| Well, I had that problem in my team, so I set all warnings to be errors. That soon got rid of them! |

I had the same problem, but went the #pragma warning (disable : 4XXX) route!
Kidding, kidding!
