[squeak-dev] ShoutCore in Trunk

Folks -

Thanks to Andy Tween who released a version of Shout that only includes
the core portion (ShoutCore), we now have syntax-highlighting back. Not
only that, it comes without any ugly extensions or overrides. It Just
Works (tm). If you don't like it, or if you don't want it you can just
unload it and will go without a side effect.

I also took the liberty to enhance the (somewhat aggressive) default
style table with a set of more subdued highlights. This is intended for
people who are not used to syntax highlighting and will hopefully help
them to ease into the idea of colorful code ;-) But if you want the
original settings back, turn off the "Subdued Syntax Highlights" preference.

Cheers,
- Andreas

I'm a fan of syntax highlighting and this looks great Andreas.

Excellent, Andreas. Suggestion: can't we have name of the current
method in bold in the code pane? It's always important to be able to
instantly visually identify elements in code, in my opinion.

myMethod
"some comment"
some code.

Regards,
Ian.

I'm also fond of having the method name in bold at the top. Also, the gray is a little low on contrast, making it a bit hard on my eyes. It would be awesome if we could darken the gray a notch in the default image.

Overall, though, this is really awesome:)

Yes, this is traditional so we should keep it that way, for now anyway. I committed a change. You need to toggle the "Subdued Syntax Highlighting" preference once to make it active.

Also, the gray is a little low on contrast, making it a bit hard on my eyes. It would be awesome if we could darken the gray a notch in the default image.

The gray works fine for me. But simply open an inspector on

SHTextStylerST80 styleTable

and edit items 22-24 ...

Overall, though, this is really awesome:)

Indeed :)
