sl23 Posted June 9 Author Share Posted June 9 Yeah I just adjusted the colours to make them lighter or darker. Some I changed for more contrast and easier reading for my eyes. Play away...! donnyh13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donnyh13 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Thanks for the files. I tested both and my selection is properly setting opacity (I can still see the text when selected).... Have you tried clearing your SciTEUser.properties and then re-apply the settings? (after making a copy of SciTEUser.properties, of course)?

sl23 Posted June 11 Author Share Posted June 11 (edited) Nope, still getting the same problem, even without applying my settings! I can't take a screenshot either, because when SciTE window loses focus, the selection appears transparent! It's only when the window is in focus that the selection becomes opaque! EDIT: Managed to get a screenshot of it. This is after I removed SciTEUser.properties. Edited June 11 by sl23 donnyh13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioa747 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (edited) have you tried: open .au3 file in scite, press ctrl 1 go to tab Editor colors and press change sheme and select __SciTE4AutoIt3 ==> Standard SciTE4AutoIt3 Color scheme Edited June 11 by ioa747 I know that I know nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioa747 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 and since you have a portable version. If there is a folder in the C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\AutoIt v3 rename it to C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\AutoIt v3--- I know that I know nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Developers Jos Posted June 12 Developers Share Posted June 12 (edited) I haven't read the whole thread, but in case you have issues then please show the output of SciTEConfig -> "Other Tools" -> "Run SutoIt3/SciTE check" with me, so I can see what the active config is and your environment settings. You can PM then when you don't want to share it here.

sl23 Posted June 12 Author Share Posted June 12 Thanks for your help X-Launcher is an app portabliser written in AutoIT. It can launch apps and set paths to the apps folder rather than use system folders. Registry entries are also added/removed on program start/end. I got this version from user called rbon on PortableFreeware trying to help update X-Launcher to 64bit, this version worked fine. In a topic here about this, argumentum suggested updating to the beta version, which I did and still all was good. Then I tried updating this version with another that I found SciTE v5.5.0 full, but when trying to compile the X-Launcher script, it couldn't find AutoIT3Wrapper, so gave an error about that. As this wasn't working, I then tried the other package which is apparently a self contained EXE names Sc550. That worked ok, but then whilst adjusting the theme's I had already made, suddenly this highlight issue started when selecting text and I just can't understand where the fault is! I may just be better deleting this and starting over with a portable install? As for the requirements, I have no idea what those variables are for. Where are you supposed to specify thiose locations using those variables? There's no info on that and they don't appear in the SciTEUser.properties file. The setup I have is portable because it uses X-Launcher to make it portable. But I updated the existing apps with the portable versions too, it's become a mess and I don't understand why so many different versions of SciTE! There's the stable version, the beta version and then v5.5.0? And there's two versions of 5.5.0 one worked one didn't, Then rbon told me not to use the Sc550.exe version, so I'm just totally confused as to what the best versions to use are!

sl23 Posted June 12 Author Share Posted June 12 I've entered it into SciTE, but I can't click Tools/Go as it's greyed out. Anyway, I've just downloaded the latest AutoIT.zip and SciTE Portable, updated to the beta and it's working good now, probably shoulda done that first! Thanks for your help, much appreciated. donnyh13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developers Jos Posted June 12 Developers Share Posted June 12 (edited) @sl23, do you want to continue here or in PM as I am not going to try to keep track of both to avoid confusion? Just upgrade to the latest available portable version of SciTE to keep things clean!
