GAH.

Van Godric, cool on the line syntax. I respect your decision to use blue. However, it's standard practice to package the program set on a plain theme, and include your preferred theme with it. Most to all professional quality software does this, it's to broaden initial appeal.
CLS and PRINT are part of QBs language. However, they are an extension to the language, a standard library. Printf and atoi isn't highlight in C++ IDEs, nor is "System" highlighted in Java IDEs. Code block keywords (if/do/for), data types and definitional keywords such as "function" or "type" are what is considered to be language, its syntax.
Please understand, I like your compiler, but I'm not going to talk about how it's already fine, I'm telling you what would make it better for me, an average user. Guinea pig if you will.

EDIT: Sorry about the venting. Finals are slowly unraveling my cool demeanor to reveal the viscious freudian monster that lives inside my lockbox
QBW - toad - 12-06-2004
hey, not sure if anyone is interested but i made an IDE for QB a long time ago. i don't mean to take the attention off the current IDE in dev, but maybe the two could fuse or something. i noticed the IDE by VonGodric is coming along nice, but doesn't have module/procedure seperation like the original QB IDE for DOS does. take a look how i did this in my screenshots for QBW :

here's two more: (to show the color features)

it has options for compiler, linker, etc; IDE functionality (fonts, tab spaces, etc) and a few other things, like Undo. i'll paste a url if someone wants to try it. 8)
mine's writtin in VB and i wouldn't know the first thing about making it portable. i just thought i'd post it.

I do miss the function index... I almost remember this program too, it looks familiar.
If it gets put into any idea it's look better as a dialog box with a menu option and a keyboard shortcut, though.

well Jofers, if you were with me on mIRC, #qbrpg (i think?) with Nex' and i think SJ Zero and some others like a year or more ago, you probably helped me with the design. i think you were. can't remember...
FBIde 0.3.1 -> 0.3.3 - Jofers - 12-06-2004
Nah, not much of a chatter.
FBIde 0.3.1 -> 0.3.3 - VonGodric - 12-06-2004
function list is already there -just click tha stupid refresh and then select combobox again, you'll see all functions/subs are listed. The refresh will be gon I promise
FBIde 0.3.1 -> 0.3.3 - Jofers - 12-06-2004
hey, awesome man... keep up the good work!

Von: Font sizes?
FBIde 0.3.1 -> 0.3.3 - Sterling Christensen - 12-06-2004
Quote:Von: Font sizes?The font size is themeable, but that means you have to edit the theme file you're using to change the font size.

Why do people insist on posting screenshots of the entire screen? I don't need to see a million white pixels. It's horribly annoying to have to scrool horixzontally for every post.
Jofers, you are not the only person under tremendous stress. It's unacceptable for people to use that as an excuse to bitch. Thats why I'm not going to comment on my pressures now.
Marzec, maybe you should read before you post. I never said C/C++ was a better alternative. I merely said "i wish i could be more helpful." I still would have prefered this to be in VB. But thats not the point, this is in C++. It's out of my control.
VonGodric, good job so far. I'm waiting for the next release. A thing though...the current syntax highlighting isn't coloured enough. Although I edited the theme somewhat, maybe you should do something to the default theme.
