ObjectEdit Syntax Theming

New category at WC?

External Link
January 17, 2007 1:17:31 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
I use ObjectEdit allot. For making websites to gadget scripting. I have played around with it allot to tweak it to fit my own preference. I've found that using a white on warm black with subtle colours is easier on my eyes. And of course using a shorter tab indent, like 4 spaces. And I have also rewritten quite a few of the syntax files as well to they include more keywords. And I've had to write syntax files for some languages that didn't come by default with OE.

I was wondering what your setup is?

Should we have a OE syntax gallery at WC?

I have uploaded my current set of syntax files for anyone interested.

I use OE every day. It's a part of me. If a computer doesnt have it, I just run it off my flash drive. I use it for a lot of web work, and text editing that doesnt need something fancy like Word.

Exactly what I was going to say.

Early on in my web developement, I got a copy of a php syn file that someone had on the newsgroups.  Since then, I've enhanced the colors, as well as variable highlighting.  In addition to all that, I've modded my CSS one as well, to include more keywords.  I love working with ObjectEdit, its a great little program.  I'd honestly like to see a couple more features added to it (*coughUTF8supportcough*), but as a basic text editor, its awesome!

I'll second the UTF8 support and add that a time/date stamp would also be greatly appreciated. I use Object Edit daily and it is one of my more important computing tools, thank-you Stardock!

It's nice, but what I'd really like to see is Stardock really give ObjectEdit some up to date support. Whilst community creativity is the heart of WinCustomize, the fact remains that there is a base level of functionality that Stardock should be giving a product like OE - which in so many other ways is a very polished tool.

I love OE, but I don't want to spend ages messing around with the syn files when I'm coding in a widely recognised language. Out of the box I think it should certainly have up to date css syntax highlighting, as well as php support.

As it is, OE is only available (I believe) to Object Desktop subscribers. If they're going to make it part of a paying package, there is a level of quality I think we have a right to expect. Otherwise it should be a free download.

Don't get me wrong. I really like OE, but I think it's high time someone at Stardock gave it a bit of attention.

A documentation of the .syn syntax feature would be nice. Currently the OE helpfiles looks more like spaceholders.
Think I mentioned this in another thread, but how about we start a thread where people post the different features they discovered in OE? And in that article we can link up to people's .syn files.

There's one in the package I linked to. You might want to change the colours as I run a non-standard white on dark theme.

Actually! I think I still have a black on white more conventional colour syntax for PHP backed up somewhere.

I think the dark theme should be fine.

One thing, to use the white on dark theme you got to set the background colour and text colour on OE. It's a bit awkward. I'll be submitting a support ticket on this. (I've been keeping them busy this week. )

Background colour: RGB 40,36,36
Text colour: white
