Re: QtCreator-style block highlighting (and colours) in Kate(part)?

[Dominik Haumann]

Hi René,

my take on this is rather simple: I don't directly see the value in this
feature, so investing a significant amount of time is out of scope. I
believe this is valid for other Kate developers as well, especially since
we have more important issues to solve (finish port to KSyntaxHighlighting
framework to use its Themes for instance). That said, it won't happen,
except if someone provides a (good/clean!) patch... :)

PS: the better place for this discussion is kwrite-de...@kde.org.

Best regards
Dominik

Not exactly the answer I was hoping for (though I kind of expected it ...)

I *could* create a colour scheme if I had no other monk's tasks lying around 
(there are a *lot* of colours in the Creator scheme which would have to be 
mapped correctly). Implementing the distance-based backlighting feature is 
probably out of my league though. How much chance would it stand as a feature 
request?

No and no :)
But feel free to create/add a color scheme called Qt Creator.

Greetings

QtCreator-style block highlighting (and colours) in Kate(part)?

[René J . V . Bertin]

Hi,

I quite like Qt Creator's feature that highlights blocks (in code) by applying 
a gradient of background darkening that makes code less conspicuous the further 
it is outside the current context. Has something like this ever been considered 
for Kate-based editors?

I also find Creators default colour scheme very nicely done, is there a way to 
import it (from the XML file, not by hand via the GUI :))?

Thanks,
R.
