WB2014: CSS color scheme - possible bug

[viking]

Hi

I can't seem to get a custom color scheme for CSS working - even though I select apply in the box under Options => Preference => Colors: Text Editor Colors.

I have tried to save a custom color scheme and load it, but it still doesen't work for me, however, the custom color scheme for HTML works just fine and as I expect.

This leads me to believe that there is a bug in the color scheme for CSS - does anyone else have his problem ?

I'm using version: 12.0.0.147

------EDIT--------

I have tried to copy the code from the CSS file into my HTML file and have noticed that the new color scheme seems work as expected.

So now I'm possitive that this is in fact a bug.

Did you modify CSS colors by selecting Language combobox to CSS first?

No, I just scrolled down and found the CSS wanted to modify on the list if this was the wrong way of doing it is my fault, however, I thought the combobox was used for filtering the list - ie. only HTML related or only CSS related etc.

Please note that color schemes are set for each file type separately (not for each language). So to change CSS colors in CSS file, you have to edit CSS, but to change CSS colors inside HTML file you have to modify HTML colors.

Hi Karlis

Thank you for explaining.

I can understand the reason why it was made like this; to give the user maximum flexibility in customization.

however, even though I'm a follower of this flexibility in customization I also think it does over complicate the settings up of custom color schemes a little.

Suggestion to a possible solution:

Give the user an option to choose whether or not the color schemes settings in for example HTML should be applied to the rest of the file types - this way users have ultimate flexibility.
