Hello,

I just installed Adobe Cloud Dreamweaver and have been using CS5 Dreamweaver. How do you REMOVE the auto highlighting of the tags within code view?

Do you mean you have been using Dreamweaver CC?

I was using Dreamweaver within the Creative Suite 5.

Looks like there’s some kind of ‘feature’ which will lock you out of editing (and highlighting) your tags.

OK. In your original post you said you just installed Adobe Cloud Dreamweaver so I'm still a little confused on whether you're using CC or CS5.

Can you post a screenshot showing the issue?

[tonyf48659979]

Sorry. I was using Dreamweaver CS5 and then got a new computer.

With the new computer came Dreamweaver Cloud. I’m used to editing my own tags manually and can’t seem to do it.

Here’s a screen shot. The dark blue highlighted tags are un-editable. I want to remove the highlighting and want to be able

to manually edit these tags.

(Thanks!)

Sorry Tony. No screenshot came through. You have to use the Insert Image icon in the web forum toolbar

Thanks John. Here's the screen shot. I can't edit anything within the actual div tag itself (div id, div class name, other code), and I can't remove the dark blue highlight.

I have since downloaded Notepad++. It also came defaulted with the same type of issue, but the fix was easy: I was able to click Settings, Preferences, Highlighting and then unclicked the two enable boxes for the Smart Highlighting and Highlight Matching Tags, and it works great.

Hopefully, you can help find the same type of 'Smart Highlighting' disable feature(s) in Dreamweaver. Thanks!

The silence is deafening... Earth to Adobe, Earth to Adobe. Hello Adobe.

In the latest versions of Dreamweaver CC, you must edit yout theme's main.less file.  See the post below for details.

Solution: White on Mint Green Code Color.

Have a look at Learn how you can customize the colors of your code elements in Dreamweaver. in particular the section called Adjust the color of the highlighting of paired tags
