I checked out the scintilla source from mercurial, made the changes and uploaded a patch:
https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/fea ... ests/1023/

Thanks, now font colors are fixed too. Haven't got the chance to get anything upstream although I'm looking around how to do this. I made a fork of Geany on GitHub which includes your patches https://github.com/fbcoder/geany . A pull request is an option but they suggest to change Scintilla code ups...

One thing: In your screenshot the comment color is light gray. Here the single line comments are red and the multiline comments are just black (as normal text). Where can I change the colors of the comment blocks?

I tried to apply your patches to the source tree of 1.23.1 Just overwriting the respective files in the 1.23.1 source tree gave errors when compiling. Took me a while to find out which pieces you had changed and only applying those changes to the new source files. It seems like most of your work was...

Thanks again TJF! Unfortunately I run into an error when compiling that source package. ./configure was OK after installing the dev package for gtk2 make This reports errors in the file tm_tag.c tm_tag.c: In function ‘tm_tag_unref’: tm_tag.c:448:21: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘__attribute__’ tm_tag....

Thanks TJF. It would be great if those changes were adopted upstream. For the time being: Could you share your version of the Geany source?

Not really a question, just a file to share. I made a slight adjustment to the FreeBASIC syntax highlighting file for Kate. The new file can be found here: https://gist.github.com/fbcoder/6777920 This is just the default file with added support for multiline comments. When you put it in the folder ~...

Geany is a great editor for FreeBASIC in Linux. However multiline comments still don't seem to get handled correctly for FreeBASIC. I have looked in the filetype definition file for FB (/usr/share/geany/filetypes.freebasic) and the relvant part is: # single comments, like # in this file comment_sing...

LOL, nice work dodicat!

T(h)anks a lot guys :) This seems exactly what I was looking for.

For a puzzle game I'm writing I load a simple bmp sprite of a tank I've drawn. In the image the body of the tank is blue but I want tanks of different colors. Should I loop over all pixels and pset all blue pixels to the desired value or is there a built in command to do this?

I can confirm dkl's approach works for 64 bit Ubuntu 12.10. If you use Geany as your editor you can change the compile command so it includes -l stdc++ (that's what I did).

Thanks everyone! So basically two solutions for the dynamic array problem. The ptr ptr ptr looks complicated indeed :P but as you explain it it makes sense. Regarding the forward declaration: Was it always possible to use a pointer to a UDT as a type for a member of that UDT? I recalled you needed a...

FB doesn't allow dynamic arrays inside udts ... It does compile with the redim statement in place. I can try to leave it out though and see if it makes any difference. Thanks. Thanks!! it works now without the redim :) Code works fine without it. The only thing it can't handle now is maps larger th...
