Apparently what I have called a "bug" is in fact a "feature".
According to http://www.gnome.org/start/2.20/notes/en/index.html #rnusers-gedit, the color schemes are actually for syntax highlighting, not for the user interface as I implied. However, I still have yet to find any mechanism for editing or creating new color schemes so that they will take account of new .lang files. As an example I have attached a custom .lang file, which works perfectly in Feisty, but in Gusty only highlights comments, since the other styles default to no special formatting. Note that the .lang file does validate against language.rng from gtksourceview-1.0 ** Attachment added: "Custom .lang file that doesn't show highlighting on any elements other than comments." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9602840/spu_asm.lang -- [gusty] Syntax Highlighting tab is no longer present in the preferences dialogue https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147078 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gedit in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
