I've been revisiting my color settings in Vedit. I tried some new ones (using menu-config-editing colors) and then saved the file to a cfg file (save config...), say to grey.cfg. However, if I try to use this cfg file (by loading it) to change screen colors, the color settings in this config file do not seem to work on a file already loaded.
For example, start Vedit new (which uses vedit.cfg colors). Open a file, then Load the grey.cfg file. It does not affect any of the screen colors, although if I look at the settings in menu-config-editing colors, the new colors are shown there. If i open another file, the new colors do take affect on it.
Even if I type cf(cwtext,128) in command mode and then go back to Visual, it has no affect on the screen color, and similarly, a vdm file with cf(cwtext,n) commands has no affect on screen colors if executed.
It's been a long time since I looked at Vedit's coloring, but has this always been like this?? I seem to remember being able to change colors on the fly using config commands in macros, and by loading config files.
I'm using the latest version of Vedit and Win98, sp2.
