What I'd really like to see is a consistent background color. Or rather consistent colors and styles. It doesn't really matter very much which styles or colors as long as they're consistent between syntax files. Though I would prefer white background and just colors (no bolds, underlines or italics).
Quoting the wishlist on the wiki: Global For/Background Color Setting By Jeroen van der Ham:
Your opinion and mine is not very far apart ;)
Perhaps me and Jeroen should just have a shoot-out over this matter since it seems to me as he has the same opinion as me, though his is negated. ;)
If you look at my first email I said that I did not want all the decorations in text if it is not really functional. But as Alan pointed out: people who have low color perception don't have much use of different colors and need the decorations to really tell things apart. I think he has a point there, but I'm also thinking that this perhaps is a minority group, which should have 'special' syntax highlight bundles which fit their needs.
As for the syntax highlight bundles with different background colours, I'm all for it. I really don't like white backgrounds while coding, so first thing I do when using a default bundle is converting it to black backgrounds ;) Perhaps we should setup a collection point so that everyone can send in their adapted versions of the syntax highlight bundles. This is of course meant as a temporary solution while Alan sorts out a proper one ;)
