It would be very useful if users could change the options of the syntax highligthing; For example, I want to see the class keyword with different color than other keywords, show in italic only statics methods and fields. Or a different colour for PHP internal functions. Some of this examples are from Eclipse and it's one of the things I miss more. What I suggest is to improve the user options of configuration of this feature, because I think that a lot of programmers like to change their IDE and one useful way it's see or skimm faster their code. Excuseme for me English
adding my voice to this. I am currently trying to convert a theme for netbeans, but I am lacking options. Would be great if we could color the following in such a way that they do not get overriden: method names eg: myMethod(); $this->method(); someClass::method(); isset(); empty(); method arguments & argument values keywords 'class', 'extends', 'public', 'static' ect ect conditional blocks, if, else, foreach, switch static classes eg: someClass:: inherited class names currently the colors of these entities are set by 'method' and overridden by 'plain text', so depending on your color scheme you can end up with some rather ugly results I've had a look at the PHP5ColoringLexer to see if these options were hidden away somewhere (thought perhaps i could manually add things to the xml file) but I don't know anything about Java and i couldn't seem to find anything. some screens to help: original theme - http://cl.ly/1T0e1B2t0o3n051b2H3s netbeans equivalent (seems to be the best i can come up with) - http://cl.ly/2e3r3Q1s032x29300t1x Cheers
