Question

Can I change the color or carriage returns?

Hello,

 

When I turn on hidden characters with View->Code View Options->Hidden Characters carriage returns are bright white (I'm using a dark theme) while other characters like Tabs and Spaces are dim grey.  I really hate the bright white carriage returns and with they were the same color as other characters, but I can't seem to find a way to customize their color using main.less as I have for other elements.  Does anyone know if this is possible and if so, how to do it?

 

Thanks!

The obvious workaround is to turn off hidden characters.  Or go to Preferences > Interface > Try a different Code Theme.

I use a Brackets Theme from GitHub called RubyBlue.  As you can see from my screenshot, paragraph marks are dark and barely noticeable.

I prefer to see them, so that's not really a workaround now is it?  🙂

 

Thanks for the link to Brackets Themes, I'll give those a try.

Well, I tried about a dozen different themes, but they all had bold white carriage returns, so I'm guessing it's something specific to DW on a Mac.

 

 

Thank anyway, perhaps someone else will have a solution.  I found a better theme at any rate.  🙂
