How do I stop this moronic orange highlighting from appearing.

Thank you for deleting my previous question. Apparently you do not mind being idiots but you do not like people making the observation...

How do I stop this moronic orange highlighting from appearing when I click a <P or <TD etc?

I have tried the "main.less"
I have tried the "brackets.json"

And I have spent several hours trying everything else.

PLEASE ONLY POST IF YOU KNOW.

DO NOT ASK me stupid questions like "Have I tried VIEW > CODE > SYNTAX COLORING" because you obviously do not know.

Thank you

I think that I fixed the problem,

Thank you to all who have helped.

The solution:

Go Here >>

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2017\www\main.js

CHANGE THIS

{className:"CodeMirror-matchingtag"}))}var s="close"==o.at?o.open:o.close;s?n.state.tagOther=n.markText(s.from,s.to,{className:"CodeMirror-matchingtag"}

to this (just put any letter on the end of the CodeMirror-matchingtag)

{className:"CodeMirror-matchingtaga"}))}var s="close"==o.at?o.open:o.close;s?n.state.tagOther=n.markText(s.from,s.to,{

/*
* Brackets Default Theme
*
* Defines all the variables that one can configure in a theme. This should
* contain all variables / mixins for UI styling that we want to be able to
* change in a theme.
*
* Throughout the rest of the LESS files we should _only_ use color
* variable names that are on the LHS of the list below. So, if we
* need a new color for some UI element, we should add a variable
* in this file.
*/

/*
  This LESS file contains code coloring configuration and the default colors specified
  in this files have been defined globaly. Which means if a selector defined below is
  being used in multiple document modes then all of those tokens will be colored using
  the color value specified here. In order to control the number of unique colors used,
  selectors are grouped together to distribute a limited number of colors across all
  possible tokens in different document modes.

  For example consider the following HTML snippet -
   ----------------------------------
    <div>
        My Sample content
    </div>
   ----------------------------------

  And the following CSS snippet -
   ----------------------------------
    div {
        color: #00f;
    }
   ----------------------------------

  In CC 2017, in both HTML and CSS doc modes 'div' has been assigned '.cm-tag' selector.
  This implies that if in this LESS file the selector group containing '.cm-tag' is assigned
  a color value '#446fbd', the tag name 'div' in HTML and the selector name 'div' in CSS will
  have the same color. For a more detailed understanding of tokens and selectors being used in
  different language modes, please go though the follwoing helpx page section -

  (https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/customize-code-coloring.html#Understandingselectors)

  However it's possible to specify different color values for these selectors targetting
  different language modes. What needs to be done is identify the tokens what's being used
  in a particular doc mode and target the corresponding selectors by nesting them under the
  MODE selector.

  For example let's take the snippets and case described above. If we want to override the
  default color of tag only in HTML mode, we need to append this selector after the "custom" marker
  in this LESS file.

   ----------------------------------------------
   .HTML {
        .cm-tag {
            color: <custom color here>;
        }
   }
   ----------------------------------------------

   This example can be expanded to include individual selectors or certain selectors grouped together.

   These are the list of popular language modes along with the file extensions which they are associated with. Any of these modes can be used as parent selectors and then the individual token color can be
   nested inside to make sure that we change only the targetted modes coloring.

Are you working in a PHP document or an HTML document?

Have you tried testing it with an ordinary HTML file yet?

Jon, the css above is when I tried to create a NEW theme.

I also went through the C drive and did a global search for MAIN.LESS and found 10 of them, out of this 5 had the CodeMirror-matchingtag etc which I also changed.

BG == #fff

Color == #000

Still nothing

So I changed the theme and now the orange has changed to a lite blue

Just marvelous...............

I think that I fixed the problem,

Thank you to all who have helped.

The solution:

Go Here >>

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2017\www\main.js

CHANGE THIS

{className:"CodeMirror-matchingtag"}))}var s="close"==o.at?o.open:o.close;s?n.state.tagOther=n.markText(s.from,s.to,{className:"CodeMirror-matchingtag"}

to this (just put any letter on the end of the CodeMirror-matchingtag)

{className:"CodeMirror-matchingtaga"}))}var s="close"==o.at?o.open:o.close;s?n.state.tagOther=n.markText(s.from,s.to,{className:"CodeMirror-matchingtaga"}

Do some creative saving (Make sure that you make a BACK UP COPY FIRST

SAVE as main.js

Reboot DW

problem solved.

over 28 hours wasted on this

Sadly that doesn’t solve my particular issue.

I DON’T want to have to change anything else of my set up apart from the background colour of the files panel (and the css panel) which I would like to be white – so I can read the text on it. For instance on the CSS panel there is some writing which is grey on grey which makes it unnecessarily difficult to read.

If I apply themes as you suggest then I end up with all of my colours changing.

It looks like I’m just gonna have to hack at the brackets.css and main.js until I find it usable.

Thanks for your input.

The color of the Dw UI and code view are 2 different things, (in the same preferences selection though).

If you go into preferences and choose an app theme, (4choice) you can have a light theme. you can then select the code view theme of your choice, which can be a dark-background theme.

UI - is User Interface. I don't care what Adobe call them, but a UI is a UI is a UI.

However, regardless of nomenclature, I have tried the ways you suggest and they haven't enabled me to have a WHITE BACKGROUND in the FILES PANEL, not without then messing up all of my other colours, also the BG on the 'light' theme isn't 'white', it appears to be also grey - though a lighter version perhaps (#EEE when I want #FFF).

Thanks for your input. To be honest, I just want to work, I don't want to have to spend all this time setting up MY working environment to the way I like it, and if it is possible to have 'themes' then I don't see why it isn't possible for me to choose the fore and background colours of individual elements. Theming is a poor and extremely limited solution. I used DW for years - and then left when they dropped proper code-folding (!!) - and have for 16 years had a white background on both my CSS panel and my FILES panel. I don't understand why I am unable to set this up this way easily.

Anyway, as I said, I'll just keep hacking DW files until it works for me instead of against me.

This will not help, but for info.

Since Dw2017 was released lots of users have asked for the old code view themes/way-of-setting, to be re-introduced, but so far there has been no indication that they will be re-introduced, and it is possibly impossible for the Dw team to implement anyway, as no one has been able to create a theme that comes even close to matching the old code editors.

I don't like the way the Brackets code editor has been implemented in Dw, as it has the look and feel of a free code editor still, and has removed many of the features that made Dw what it was.

BTW: I don't like the UI color choices, as there is no way to set the contrast between background and text.

Agreed, no 'help', but nonetheless, interesting to hear your thoughts. I think I've actually almost got it sussed anyway - I'm gonna spend the weekend doing some dummy-runs, but am pretty sure that by Monday morning work start, that I will have DW2018 jumping through my hoops instead of vice-versa.

p.s. I haven't even dared open my brand new copy of PhotoShop yet lol!

If colors are critical to your workflow, drop back to DW CC 2015 before the Brackets editor was introduced.  Your CC Desktop has Other Versions for this reason.

Cheers. I (well, my organisation) gave me a subscription for DW and PS so that we would all be able to use the interchangeable files functionalities of the more modern Apps. Also, in the hope that the plethora of bugs (and missing features) to be found (or not) in earlier versions would be fixed ... isn't this why we are constantly encouraged to upgrade to more secure, stable, 'modern' versions. It seems to be a strange thing to have to do - to 'downgrade'. The reason I was given DW and PS was to be 'in step' with the designers and other devs in the office - this would put me out of step. I assume anyway! Or has DW2015 been 'retro-fitted' with features from the later versions? I seem to remember DW2015 was the version that killed code-folding, until it then returned in later versions when somebody managed to get their devs into rehab, and that was the reason I dumped it after about 2 hours, and vowed never to touch an Adobe product again. I heard it had been re-introduced, but until now, I've had no real reason (or need) to go back to it.

Having said all that, I thank you for your input, but I'm pretty familiar with Bracket's code and styling now, and feel reasonably confident that I can fix this issue (and several others) by rewriting some of the more offensive code into something that works (for me).

p.s. sorry Nancy, I meant to say that, yes colours are essential to my work-flow. I am an Aspie...thus some things cause me extreme 'anguish' and I have to say that often in ways that do not affect the majority of people. So, I do have a little appreciation of how 'weird' it can seem that I need things to be a 'certain' way. From an employer's side, I understand that If no value is earnt from accommodating my 'needs', then they would be 'secondary' to 'traditional' processes, and this would be fair. However, I produce more code, at a higher quality, in a faster time, than ANY other person I have met. I started at 8 yrs of age. However, if my development environment disturbs me in some way, I can literally get 'code-block' and simply cannot write code (on a computer anyway - usually at that stage I go get a pad and write it out by hand if I have to). So in this instance, every panel is causing me some disturbance. Whether it be that the files area has grey background or using a colour associated with 'disabled' fields for the input field backgrounds (!!) on the properties panel. Also there is so much grey on grey in the css area that I have to wear my slightly stronger glasses to ensure that I read the right text at a quick glance. Anyway, as I say, I am particular - so I don't expect everybody to want the same as me, but as a coder myself (just like yourself) I don't understand why one of the alleged best (web) development programs in the world can't have these options available. As I say, I think personally themes are a very poor solution to 'personalisation', and a little bit lazy too (of DW coders/designers) if truth be told.

Anyway, I do go on don't I...sorry about that!

Thanks Nancy, in the end your post convinced me to go back several versions. I've just gone back to Dreamweaver CS6 (which had many issues, but I could live with them). I do feel quite frustrated that I actually already own a copy of DW CS6 that I paid (quite) a lot of money for. SO, now I'm paying Adobe monthly for a program that I already legally own. Photoshop better be worth it! I've literally been scared of opening it, in case Adobe have managed to completely f*** that up too (which going on the last several release of CC, seems more likely than less).

I am aware that I lose all the ermm... benefits of the new CC Dreamweaver - but after I found it was injecting extra apostropes into some of my posted variable names, I realised that Adobe don't actually test their products in-house, and instead we pay a subsctiption every month test it for them! How the world has changed! Once this jiob is over, I shall be dumping EVERY app of Adobe's in favour of notepad and ftp client. I can't ever recall either of them re-writing MY code. Absolutely disgusted with Adobe tbh.

Anyway, thank you for your help.

For what it's worth, the Creative Cloud version of CS6 received several more updates beyond the perpetual licensed version. 

I'm using CC 2018 right now and finding it very stable.  No problems to report.  Also Photoshop is running fine for me on Windows 10.  So I can't complain which is rare for me.

Thanks for that, I was unware. Perhaps this will mean less 'Not responding' notices - I found DW 2018 to be constantly freezing as well as having the 'styling' issues (of which I'd actually sorted most out), and inserted random apostrophes in to some of my $_POST variables! BUt I do recall DW CS6 also constantly had 'Not responding' issues - so perhaps less of them now. I'm running with an excess of RAM on an i7 processor with 200Gb free on the drive from which DW is running... oh and it's an SSD drive. So, I shouldn't be seeing 'Not responding' messages on any program - and strangely enough, the only program that does do it regularly (i.a at least 100 times over the period of my daily work-cycle - which is usually between 12 and 16 hours a day.)

I guess I just get a little annoyed that one of the alleged 'best' IDEs for web development is so sluggish, and has errors that a 4 year old tester could have spotted! Quality control doesn't seem to be in Adobe's (or Microsoft and several other companies) list of things to do when creating software. Adobe Flash is estimated to be the cause of over 7.2 billion US dollars loss - through malware using it to steal information. You'd think they'd have started to take things more seriously after that, but once you've got a certain amount of money on this world as a company you apparently become 'untouchable' and 'unemphatic' to customer's needs (or even legally obliged duties to them). It's an actual psychological condition - New Scientist had an interesting article  a couple of years ago...though they were using it as a means to show why once people become politicians they are far more likely to act in their own best interests than in the interests of their constituents. In hindsight this seems like an obvious thing, but for some reason people don't seem to believe that this also applies to corporations - though with the advent of Windows 10, many people are beginning to realise their mistake in giving power over their lives to corporations with shareholders. It used to be consumers first, then shareholders... this has now reversed. It hasn't improved things. I should be a 'consumer' when I buy a product, not an 'unpaid tester'.

Thanks for your input...sorry to ramble... but this world does my head in sometimes.... and it's only getting worse. Thank goodness for  random solar flares 🙂

Try reinstalling after running the Cleaner Tool. CC2015 should still function without issue on Mac and Windows. The 2015 version of DW hasn't been updated since 7-8-15.

Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems

The time was not a complete waste since it saved many others from wasting time on fixing this annoying problem.  Thanks. Every time I see the orange highlighting I instinctively fear my next action will delete the code. At the very least it should be a feature that can be toggled on and off in Preferences.

...Searched for "matchingbracket" etc..

Thanks! It's ridiculous the amount of work people have to do to have a working product!
