Hello once again, I did some digging and I hope, I realized the general idea about coloring. There are categories of tokens defined in Lexer of specific language. And there are "fontsColors.xml" files, which provide mapping of the categories of tokens to particular color. They also provide the list of coloring categories for the Options dialog.
So, to provide option for the coloring of EOLs separately one would need to: - Introduce new category of tokens in the language lexer (ultimately, in lexers for each language, if we want to have this feature in every language). - Adjust "fontsColors.xml" to provide coloring-category and default values for the color. Could someone confirm, that my understanding is correct (or point out that it is not correct, maybe providing also some hint about what exactly is wrong)? Could someone also tell, if it is a good idea to modify lexers for languages e.g. like Java (being honest I did not look at the implementation yet)? Thank you in advance. Dmitrii.
