How do you edit code completion colours?

Post by paul17041993 »

How do you edit each of the colours for each object in the code completion list? (struct, class, enum, etc) they all display as a single, non-customisable colour (ie, no GUI option anywhere), which is an algae green...

Can you post a screenshot of what you want to change?
I don't think I understand what you are trying to achieve

Well I ended up finding the global colour option, which was 'Workspace tags', for some reason the actual colours between the two are ever so slightly different and I hadn't noticed.

The actual problem however is I need the ability to colour each individual 'tag' separately from eachother, not just be all the one colour, simply selecting only some of the tags doesn't help either because the unselected tags just end up blended with everything else, it's a loose-loose configuration option.

The number of colours is limited. The number of colours that can be used is 8.
The editor component is not that flexible, so no, you can't use different colours per tag

(Hopefully, I understood from the screenshot what you meant)
