<div id="what i should say">
Uh, thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

<div id="what i want to say">
GAH.

<div id="what i will say">
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
