<h1>Styler Configurator
</h1>
<p>The
styler configurator is primarily used to control the appearance of
the text in Notepad++, but it also allows you to tweak some of the
other aspects that have a user configurable color. <p><img style="width: 756px; height: 391px;" alt="" src="Images/Screenshots/styler_config.png"><p>The styler
configurator has two lists. The left list (<span class="label">Language</span>) contains all the
languages that can be styled, as well as other items with some color setting:
<ul><li> Global Styles: controls the user interface colors.
</li><li>Search results: The text of the <a href="Search%window.html">Search results window</a>
</li><li>DOS style: Highlighting text as if displayed on a command.vom/cmd.exe shell window.
</li></ul><p>
The list on the right
(<span class="label">Style</span>) has all the configurable styles for the selected language.
<p>
For
most languages it is straightforward what each property does, so only
the global setup and the exceptions are mentioned here.
<p><dl>
<dt>Validation:
<span style="font-weight:normal;">
<ul><li>
<span class="button">Save
&amp; Close</span>: Store all style information and close the dialog.</li><li>
<span class="button">Cancel</span>:
Revert any changes made and close the dialog. Same as closing the
dialog.</li></ul></span>
<dt>Dialog options:
<dd>
<span class="checkbox">Transparency</span>
enable transparent dialog. The slider controls the amount of
transparency. Note that transparency is only available on Windows
2000 and later.
<dt>Style themes:
<dd></span>A style theme is a complete collection of style properties (see below), foa all languages and global settings. At any given time, one theme is active, and you can change it at any time using the dropdown list at the top of the dialog. The list is read at startup from the themes\ configuration subfolder, but you can add to it later using the <span class="Menu">Preferences -> Import -> Import theme file(s)</span> command.
<dt>Style properties:
<dd>All styles have some properties assigned to them. Som
styles have properties that others do not have, such as a background
color. If a property is not available it is simply greyed out.
<dl>
<dt>Colors:
<dd>Clicking
on the color box shows a popup with a few default colors. Clicking on
those will change the color to that. Click <span class="button">More Colours...</span> to
manually specify a color. Either color can be rightclicked upon, if enabled, to
leave the color property 'blank'. The style will then use the default
color instead.
<ul><li>
<span class="label">Foreground
color</span>: The 'main' color. For text this is the color of the
characters.
</li><li><span class="label">Background color</span>: For text this is the background 'filler' color.
</li></ul>
<dt>Fonts:
<span style="font-weight:normal;">
<ul><li>
<span class="label">Font
Name</span>: The font to use when drawing the text. Leave blank to use the
default.
</li><li><span class="label">Font
size</span>: Size of the font (in points) to use when drawing text. Leave
blank to use the default.
</li><li><span class="checkbox">Bold</span>:
Check if you want to use bold text.
</li><li><span class="checkbox">Italic</span>:
Check if you want to use italic text.
</li><li><span class="checkbox">Underline</span>:
Check if you want to use underlined text.
</li></ul></dl></dl>
<p>
If
a regular language is selected, two edit controls are shown:
<ul><li>
<span class="label">Default
ext.</span>: default file extensions associated with this language. If a
file is opened with that extension, Notepad++ will switch to that
language.
</li><li><span class="label">User
ext.</span>: user definable list of extensions (space separated).
</li></ul>
<p>
When
a style is selected that has special keywords assigned to it,
selecting that style will also display two extra edit controls:
<ul><li>
<span class="label">Default
keywords</span>: These are the keywords used by default of the given
language.
</li><li><span class="label">User
Define keywords</span>: These are (space separated) keywords you can enter
yourself to supplement the default ones.
The
style will then only be applied if a word in the text equals to the
keywords (variations can occur depending on the language, because
syntax can be different).</li></ul>

The
Dos language uses a special font called MSLINEDRAW to enable
“box-art” for files written in the old Dos codepage. You can only
control the fore- and background color of the text (applied to all
the text). The font properties are derived from the default style
(with the exception of the font name, which is always MSLINEDRAW).
