    kismert - 2008-11-13

    I just upgraded to n++ 5.1, and now my html and xml tags are highlighted with a dark gray background that makes it very hard to read. If you select text, the background becomes almost black, making it nearly impossible to see.

    But when I go to the Styler Configurator, I can't find those dark gray backgrounds in the Global, HTML or XML styles.

    I installed 5.1, then manually updated to the ascii version, so I wonder if the stylers.xml file is up-to-date.

    Are those styles hidden somewhere? Or, do I have to re-install to see them?

    Thanks,

    -Ken

      See if you have the following file (your path might be different depending on your install)

      "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\Notepad++.UserManual.chm"

      It's pretty skimpy but it might be useful.

      I have the same problem in 5.0.3. The fix:

      Settings --> Preferences --> MISC --> Uncheck "Highlight Matching Tags" options (bottom right side)

      I have not seen 5.1, so YMMV
