BlockStyler: Make Blocks more recognizable in source code

Hi everyone,

I built a little syntax highlighting extension for the Nautilus source code pane, which puts a background color behind blocks, so that nested blocks are easily recognizable.

Install with:

Metacello new

baseline: 'BlockStyler';

repository: '<a href="github://maenu/BlockStyler/repository" class="">github://maenu/BlockStyler/repository';

load

GitHub: https://github.com/maenu/BlockStyler

Doesn’t work with “Format as you read”, just as the IconStyler. If anybody has an idea how to integrate it properly into Nautilus as a plugin, let me know. Currently it’s an ugly meta-link hack to get access to the sourceTextModel.

Cheers,

Manuel

It’s installed through a meta-link on AbstractNautilusUI >> #addIconStyle and uses RubConfigurationChange to announce on the editor’s sourceTextModel. It is not yet a proper Nautilus plugin and should be portable to Calypso, as it still uses Rubric.

Re: BlockStyler: Make Blocks more recognizable in source code

Hi.

I will look. Maybe Calypso plugins are already able to do this kind of extensions

This looks really nice, however the shading isn't at all visible (to me)
with the Pharo 3 (white) theme.

How much work is it to use themes and develop a white theme?

Thanks,
Alistair

And I did pull request https://github.com/maenu/BlockStyler/pull/1 which simplifies everything.

There are already IconStyler hierarchy for such kind of extensions. So I adopt your code for this and remove metalink tricks. Also I move settings directly to the BlockStyler class

Re: BlockStyler: Make Blocks more recognizable in source code

And I merged it, thanks Denis for Calypso support and getting rid of meta-link trickery. Themes are now supported as well. It only brakes on Watery + Calypso, but I think this is a Calypso issue, not introduced by BlockStyler.

Thank you!

This is really useful in the context of Seaside render blocks.

How hard would it be to also add vertical "lines" at the sides like in the following screenshot:

Best regards!

Hi,

I would like to get the ratio of "darkening"/"lightening" as a setting if possible. I find the change of color a little abrupt but since it is a personal taste I would like to customize only for myself. So a setting could be cool.

Else, this is a really cool plugin :) I'll definitively use it.

Hi Manuel,

Thanks very much for making this available and taking the trouble to get
it working with the light theme as well.

I was about to send exactly the same email.

When I first looked at the plugin with the dark theme (which I can't
use, as I can't see it clearly) the colour change seemed to be less
pronounced, but in the light theme, as Cyril says, it is too big a
change.

Thanks again,
Alistair

Hi Cyril,

There already is a setting to set the color with alpha:
