C++ Highlighter, preprocessor directives

[Peter]

Hi,

the highlighting of the preprocessor stuff is confusing imo, because it only
uses one color at all. It looks much cleaner when only the #define (for
example) is highlighted as preprocessor directive and the rest uses the
normal highlighter attributes.

Please take a look at these screenshots.

The first one is the original C++ highlighter.
The second one is a modfied version, which looks much cleaner though.

What do you think?

Hi,

Yes, it's a good idea :)

PS: try to do not add features too much VC++-ish, we definetly don't want Dev-C++ to look like VC :)

Greetings,

Alright, but having the preprocessor directives in more than just ones color is definately much cleaner to read code :)
