myf: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eye-candy and text editor. Please, never ever mix those two things together. Nowadays there are terabytes and teraflops spent on handling gradient backgrounds that are in most cases useless, annoying and ugly. Do not participate, please.
Moreover, PSPad now works quite well with inverse system colour schemes. I am not sure it would be even possible to use gradient backgrounds in a way that will work in every colour environment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would be surprised if such small gradients painted per tab change amounted to any significant processor time whatsoever. And given the option to select the color of a tab allows a user to choose what they think looks good (that's the benefit of the highlighter color selections). So there's no reason to stick with ugly when elegant is an option (see the image in my post above -- which is certainly not* ugly). All of this aside, however... the real issue I'm having is that selecting one of three or more colored (say green) tabs does not notably highlight the selected tab -- there is only a slight raised top to the selected tab (which is next-to-impossible to find -- and once found, it took too long). Perhaps a bold font on the selected tab would solve this? That is more important than gradients, although gradients would be a slick option -- and a feature no one is being forced to use ;-) In any case, I think the colored tab implementation Jan pushed in the prior build is _fantastic_ -- I just hope for more significant highlighting of a selected tab. -- Damion Hankejh / [url=http://www.linkedin.com/in/hankejh]LinkedIn[/url] / [url=http://ingk.com]Ingk.com[/url] [img]http://ingk.com/images/pspad_33x56.png[/img] <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?6,55988,56158> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
