Description matthies 2007-07-16 15:23:05 UTC 
It appears there is no way to define sytnax highlighting for package names (other than category "Identifier").
I think there should be, and/or for fully qualified type names (like "java.net.URL" for example).
This would (optionally?) also affect the coloring of the seperating dots.

This sounds more like an enhancement to me...
Comment 2 matthies 2007-07-16 15:34:42 UTC 
Well, treat it as you like. :)
For me it feels like a defect that you can define custom settings for pretty much all kinds of identifiers but not for 
package names or fully-qualified type names.
