When I select a block of text with the mouse, currently the selected text has a black background color which makes the text very hard to read I would like to change that to cyan or yellow, something which would make the selected text easier to read
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

would it be possible to request an option to be able to change that behavior.
currently i use white as my background color, i'm assuming that changes to black when inverted.
i'm pretty busy with work now, but I"ll look into possible experimenting with different colors.
i was thinking of an option to just change the background of the selected text to a user controlled color and not the foreground. I would also have this be optional behavior so that folks would have an option to use this technique or not.

chaat: Specifying a different set of colours for selected text would be difficult. The highlighting is not even done at a text level, but as a simple graphic rectangle that encloses the text; then a graphic invert is done. It's simple and fits nicely with both keyboard marking and mouse selection routines. If you're not using colourize, this all seems so simple, if you do use colourize, just altering BG alone could leave you just as bad off depending on what set of colourize values you've chosen. I also use white as a BG colour, and things seem OK with using inversion. Here's a sample of what I see. Note even the colourize is still present. George ![Hilight]() |

robert, it's on my employers work machine, so i'll have to get screen shots and email them to my home email address.
i tried to port my home spflite.ini file over to my work laptop to get the colorize setting and keymap to sync up.
however that has led to spflite crashing just about every time i use it on my work laptop.
is there any easy way to port setting from one machine to another. ps...
my directory structure is different on my home machine. Spflite is installed on my D: drive not in C:\Program...
where as on my work laptop everthing is installed in the default directories.

chaat: I'm not sure why you can't copy your SPFLite.INI and KBD files to your work system. I'm assuming you are still allowing SPFLite to use your normal \User\You\Documents\SPFLite on both systems. (i.e. you are not overriding with a -INI command line operand.
Yes, it will probably complain about the Recent Files, default FM paths etc., but that should be a one time correction.

thanks George, I'll give that a try when I get some time. right now at work, we're in the "it has to be done by the end of the week" mode so not much time for anything else.
and to think that i went back to work part time after retiring and now i'm right back where i did not want to be from a stress perspective.
