| Edit: Nevermind. I think I'm going to go with IDEaL instead. Original post below: I'm trying to switch over to using the Protean IDE. I've been using Visual Blitz forever, but have had some issues with it recently, so I want to give Protean a try. A few quick questions for anyone that has used Protean. 1. Is there a way to remove the boxes around functions when they are collapsed? I've been able to change the color, but the box is always there. 2. How do I turn on the line numbers? 3. If I have multiple files open and hit F5 to compile, it cycles through all the open files before compiling the currently open one. Is it compiling everything? how can I adjust this behavior? Thanks |

| 3. No, it saves all open ones, so close those you don't need. You can not alter that, thats common expected behavior for IDEs |

| Protean was ace for its time but it's dead now and probably doesn't even behave as expected with the latest .Net releases... |

| I tried using protean the other week or so, and it would crash and shut down. Couldn't do a thing with it. |

| Thanks. I've gone with IDeal now anyways. It looks to do everything that Visual Blitz did for me including a few new features I know I will use. Protean looks packed with features, but tons of stuff I will never use and a bit slow to boot up too. For some reason, my Visual Blitz was acting up on my Macbook Pro, so when I would compile something I would end up with a second instance of the IDE running, and it would keep doing this until I had no more memory. I've never had this problem on any other computer with it, but I figured it was time to say goodbye. |

| Hmm, interesting people are experiencing crashes with Protean, runs fine here and is my IDE of choice. Then again, suppose you use what you are most accustomed to. Yes, its a little slow to boot, but it does have a lot of functionality - I think the embedded ASCII table is great for quick referencing. |

| I used Protean for my first two games, it was cool. But it's not that good for Bmax right? There's better out there with more support (and ongoing support) |

| yeah, I use Protean just for BLitz3D. |
