Changing B3D look

| Hello. This might be a stupid question but where in B3d can a person change the settings to make the text, numbers, reserved words, and other items a different color. Someone must have asked this before but I get no hits when using preferences. I have heard about Ideal but it has not available syntax commands on the sidebar Thanks for your help |
| ||
| In your blitz3d Folder there's a folder called cfg Open blitzide.prefs with a texteditor You can change bkgrnd string ident keyword comment digit ... |
| ||
| There's only a : font called "Blitz", the "dbg toolbar", "ide toolbar" and "toolbar" nothing else This is version 1.108 I tried adding a blitzide.prefs file to the folder and nothing happens. |

I made so many changes over the years, but I guess blitzide.prefs always was in cfg as is Blitz.fon and 3 toolbar.bmp-files Maybe its a matter of explorer settings? Hides system files with certain extensions? |
| ||
| That's exactly the file format that I created in the cfg folder Whoever works on this code may have put the prefs inside of the application itself. Does the application modify itself? |
| ||
| The prefs-file gets always modified ... recent files are added and position and size of the ide |
| ||
| But no one knows what folder it sits in thie version? |
| ||
| What is your B3D install folder? If you're using Vista/Win7/Win8 and installed in either "c:\program files" or "c:\program files (x86)", then it's possible that the config file may have been hijacked by windows and stored in one of it's virtual paths instead of the actual program folder. Doing a search of your entire HDD for blitzide.prefs (including system and hidden files and folders) should pull it up if that's the case. |

| We had the same discussion a month ago: http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=102777#1232469 In that case the winning suggestion was to use a different IDE. |

| Thanks for directing me to that thread. It solved the problem. I need to run B3D as administrator. |
