Description Francis Gastellu 2004-03-27 11:36:46 UTC
Version:           3.0.2 (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
Compiler:          gcc 2.95.4 I didn't compile it, i used the binary debian packages
OS:          Linux

With C++ files, changing the syntax highlight colors works for everything BUT the function names which always remain dark blue (the default) no matter what color have been set in the editor preferences. 

Being used to a "borland" color scheme, which uses dark blue as a background, there is no way for me to change the color of the function names to something, well... visible ! :) 

The workaround is to use the default color, obviously.

I assume you are using Katepart as editor.

try:
1. Settings->Configure Editor
2. you should now be on "Color & Font Schemas"
3. Choose tab "Normal TextStyles
4. Change the color for "Function" - "Normal".

This works here. Please tell, if that works for you as well! (it should!)

if it doesn't work,
5. switch to tab "Highlighting Text Styles!
6. choose "Sources/C++" and change the color for "C++:Function"

You don't -- and it could have been a bug.
As it works as it should I close this as INVALID now.

as it works, this is not a bug.

I came across this problem as well. 

Perhaps the name of the "Highlighting Text Styles" to 
"Language Highlighting Text Styles" so people know where to look?

And/Or maybe the pulldown tab control could have a label "Selected Language"?

But I am glad I came across this discussion. It has solved my problem.
