    Hi

    I wanted to change the syntax highlighting for Ruby (with black background) so through styler configurator i needed to change global styles. Now it works perfectly for Ruby files, but because i changed global styles now for c++ files i have black background too. Is there any way to change the fields in global styles only for one language.

    Thank you.

    Akif,

      notepad++ should definitively have widget styles for every language, not just global widget styles. the way it works now is useless if you want a dark background with lighter text on some languages, and normal on others. this must be changed! :-/

        The Global override feature will be in the next release (v4.3), so you can change your bg / fg colour on just one click.

      Related to this I think...  I changed Global Styles to have the background color I want for text.  I'd like to copy this to all my other languages (I have to switch to Normal Text to get my proper background).  Is this possible now or is this coming in 4.3?

      Also, I added Autohotkey to languages (via its installer) and I don't see how to change the style for that language (I can't select it in the style configurator).
