Is there any way to turn off the highlighting that occurs for the current line. I'd like to have an option even if it's just a settings entry to turn highlighting off so that that the current line looks like any other line. i.e. not have the extra black background in the dark theme and not the blue-ish background in the white theme.

Something like:
[view]
current_line_highlight=0

Would suffice.

Separately, (and I think I mentioned this in another issue some time ago) but it would be good to have all such settings document by Help option.

The option just loaded a text file like so:

[view]
current_line_hight=[0|1]
// Enables or disables highlight for the current line
other_option=1
// Does whatever
etc.

or use an html file would allow some better formatting.

Anything would be better than nothing though. It could look for a language specific file first and default to an English one if no language specific file is present.

The settings help option should probably go on the File menu but on my 1366x786 laptop that menu is probably too busy to fit. It could also go on the [?] dialog where [check for udates] and [ok] exists. It could be changed to say instead:

[settings help][check for updates] [ok]

[configure short cuts] could also be moved here too to reduce clutter on the File menu and group help together but it might be less intuitive as the [?] button is a bit out of the way in the right hand corner. I easily missed that when I first used BP.

Anyway, just an idea, but the current_line_highting=0 option would help with readability.

Thanks.
