1) Find the "path" of the unit Controls.
2) Insert the "path" on the ~/.ppc386.cfg or
where is your ppc386.cfg:
-Fupath

Gues what is the best code editor ?
Whell the final answer is .............:
Lazarus ;o)
This is what i use and i want to learn ...
Eat You'r own dog food said someone from RedHat (use what you build so you can improove ) Shure lazarus is not mine but i can learn what is behind an ide or rad Still i have problems compiling projects but for writing pascal code is good the only thing that annoy (make me mad ) is i'can't change the colors and to many windows on my taskbar like in gimp ( i like twilight in delphi because is like in terminal mode and hate to have white editors like word ,notepad coze heart my eyes {i have crt monitor;( ...}) by the way if i change the source code of lazarus (for example i add twilight colors) can i cvs back the code ???
or make a diff and send the pach ???

There was a bug in the color selection. I fixed that (in cvs). Please try again.

and to many windows on my taskbar like in gimp

And many other programs... . This depends on your windowmanager. The Gnome deskguide applet does not have the problem. But I'm still searching for a solution for KDE.

i like twilight in delphi because is like in terminal mode and hate to have white editors like word ,notepad coze heart my eyes {i have crt monitor;( ...}) by the way if i change the source code of lazarus (for example i add twilight colors) can i cvs back the code ??? or make a diff and send the pach ???

As Shane mentioned:
Just change in editoroptions.pp the default settings of

procedure TEditorOptions.ReadAttribute(Attri:TSynHighlightElement);

and send me the code. I will add the Twilight Color scheme.

Mattias

I have added the Twilight color scheme to editor options.

Mattias Gaertner

i have the last lazarus.zip from ftp
and i try to build with the form empty
(with no controls on it )
but it says in the compiler messages (form )
:can't find unit CONTROLS
maybe i have to write in the ppc386.cfg
something ??
i tried to put in fpcsource :/root/laz_last/lazarus but nothing because if i build from the comand line with make the examples is working but i want to do the design and the building from inside the ide

Sure, you can make a diff and send it back to any of the maintainers ! That's about the open source is all about :-)

Michal

If you make changes, for now just post a diff file.

Shane

I have atached the body (begin ...end)
of the procedure TEditorOptions.ReadAttribute(Attri:TSynHighlightElement); with the modifications
for the Twilight Color scheme
the only thing that remains is the modifying
combobox for the changing the Default Scheme
