Crystal Hammer's modifications

Link to original issue/topic here.

  • Created left and right margins only for markers.
  • Markers are now smaller and don't overlap.
    • On left: edited code lines (saved, unsaved) and breakpoints (red).
    • On right: bookmarks (skyblue) and find results (orange).
  • Bookmarks have 4 levels.
    • When put together markers change size and color, visible on the screenshot below.
    • This is good when you have plenty of them and don't want them to look the same.
  • Options dialog is opened with RMB, this way is more convenient, it doesn't change position.
  • More syntax colors (numbers, strings, etc.) for scrollbar and preview code area.
    • All colors can be customized in options dialog (reworked).
    • Preview is now more like the code.
  • Find results markers are drawn as an overlay, so when the scrollbar gets resized they are still the same
    • Added also options to change their sizes (separate for right margin) and bookmarks size.
    • This can be seen on the second screen with 14k lines of code.
  • Added option SplitterH for masking the dirty area, seems working.
  • Added font size for preview, it changes after restarting. Resigned from bold fonts which consumed one char when longer.

Screenshot

Shows all marks, Options dialog and code preview area.
My theme for both VS and MetalScroll (also for ProgressiveScroll for VS 2010 and more) can be found on My Website.
