Hey there;

Do we have any new updates on the coloring issues? Or should I be moving back to VA.NET?

We assume you refer to this thread in which colors are severly whacked:

http://forum.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2514

We created a clean install of XP SP2 and VS.NET 2003. No changes to default. No language changes other than default US English. No other software installed. Installed VA X 1246. Coloring is fine.

Can you send us a zipped screen shot of your entire display? Perhaps we can spot something unusual.

One last question. Albeit obvious, do you have coloring enabled for source windows in our options dialog?

Actually, I'm talking about this topic:

http://forum.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2308

I'm going to leave the screenshot as it is. The only difference is the version number in the VA.X dialog.

Two things which may be different to your setup:

I have the DirectX 9 extensions to VStudio installed.
I have a black window background.

As far as I can tell, that's the only obvious differences.

We try your white/black combo for text. No problem for us.

Do you mind pressing "Use defaults" in Tools|Options|Environment|Fonts and Colors? It causes the IDE to set a slew of internal color settings.

Redo you custom settings.

I've done that before with no difference in behavior once I restore my original color settings.

My turn for questions...

Have you confirmed that it works fine with this code:

#define SOFTWARE_DATA_VERSION_MAJOR (1)
#define SOFTWARE_DATA_VERSION_MINOR (1)
#define THIS_ISATEST_TOBESURE
#define THIS_ISATEST_TOO (1)
#define thiscontains234numbers		1021
#define THIS_CONTAINS34NUMBERS		1023
#define __TESTSYMBOL				(1)
#define __TESTSYMBOL2(a,b)			(a == b)
#define __TESTSYMBOL3
#define __TEST_SYMBOL				(1)
#define __TEST_SYMBOL2(a,b)			(a == b)
#define __TESTSYMBOL				(1)
#define __TESTSYMBOL2(a,b)			(a == b)
#define __TESTSYMBOL3
#define TEST_SYMBOL_2
#define TEST_SYMBOL_2_TEST
#define _TEST_SYMBOL_2_

struct testNumbers {
	bool thisis1;
	bool thisis2;
	bool thisis33333;
	bool lookattheorangenumbers22222;
};

#define CLASSES_STRUCTS_TYPEDEFS RGB(255, 192, 203)
#define VARIABLES RGB(255,215,0)
#define PREPROCESSORMACROS RGB(255,0,255)
#define METHODS RGB(255,255,0)


Also, have you tested it using the following settings?

#FFC000 - classes, structs, typedefs
"Yellow" - Variables
Fuchsia - Preprocessor Macros
#FFC0C0 - Methods

If you can tell me which file contains the settings for the environment, I'll pull that for you too.

Did you look at coloring after pressing "Use defaults" and before settings your custom colors?

Variables in your sample are colored correctly for us.



Your settings for VA X colors are fine for us.

Try exporting this from the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\7.1\\FontAndColors

Not originally, no. But I have done so now, and include the image below.

Note the coloring errors still present:



Look at the line saying #define __TESTSYMBOL2(a,b) (a == b)

Note the miscoloring of the 'a'. This happens on several lines.

Well, that's just peachy, but I can reproduce the same (or similar) coloring errors on three separate computer systems.

Interesting update on this...

I reimported my fontsandcolors.reg file, re-loaded VS.NET 2003. Colorization stopped working in VA.X

I then reinstalled VA.X, and the only remaining color problem is with the macro parameters - everything else now works correctly.

That's really really really weird.
