Yeah, it'd be great... :)

You are totally right colors are just a matter of taste and they can be
changed easily... though from what I've seen in the source code, the in-HTML
versions of JavaScript are crippled and can't have as many color settings as
they should, it'd be nice if the JavaScript was a full "copy" of the stand
alone CPP lexer. In some ways I've been thinking about possibly reusing CPP
functionality inside HTML; HTML would depend on CPP, and CPP would have more
a generalized version of its lexer available for HTML (or others) use. (This
would make the source code and hence the binary much smaller too)

Of course I am... It's always a good thing to improve great source code :)
... I just hope I can find some spare time :S, and I'd be needing some help
(I just got into Scintilla's source code a couple hours ago) ... for
instance that about the style bits (I don't fully understand that yet, I saw
some comments in the source code.)
>* - .js files use the CPP lexer, BTW.
That's what I just read in the source code :)

Kronuz.
