Volker -- colours for code will be highly subjective.
See Carl's choices here:

     http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/view-script.r?script=color-code.r
And  REBOL.org's choices here (look for "script colorizer"):
     http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/css-view-system.r

Gregg, if you check out the DLL.SO group, you can see Benjamin is 
already tackling changing cursors with user32.dll !

Volker, I usually like the colours to be not very bright, ie. I set 
my strings to be very dark green, keywords to dark red or blue etc. 
so most of the text is close to black. But, as Sunanda said, that's 
subjective, my point of view.

I use this style sheet for my colour code: http://www.ross-gill.com/styles/rebol-code.css

Thanks for suggestions. Have to look into that. Currently i have 
anti-colors, mostly because i box the words, not just colorize them. 
looks like suqeaks etoys :) to see it, run edit-tools in my developer-folder, 
open a script, choose color-rebol.r in the plugin-list and close 
your eyes quickly :)) more a demo how to markup text.

Whoa! what a bizarre user experience!  :)

hehe ;)

I click "edit-tools", then I press "open" button, it opens a dialog 
"save /d/anton/dev/rebol/link/developer/et/doc/readme.txt" [Yes] 
[No]...   eh !??!

oops, yes. choose no.

I press [No], then it opens a file requester, so I press "Cancel" 
and that minimizes the edit-tools app. Is this an april fools joke 
that no-one discovered in time ?

thats the first-time opened file, if you use the multi-file-version. 
missing files are created. then it thinks that missing file on disk 
is diferent to that empty edited file and -hu, more problems?

should test on windows first maybe.

can you open a real file with the requester?

no idea about minimizing. crash maybe, but minimize?

You had me reading code there... yeah that's weird, the minimize 
- no where in code is "minimize" found.

Here's the problem, surely:
	button "open" [save-file/? ta sr open-file refresh]

can you look for
  wait: :my-wait
and delete that?

it contains a workaround on linux. maybe windows does not like it.

refresh -> window -> hide main-window

aah - hmm, on linux i use [hid main-window] to stop timers before 
replacing layout. on windows that minimizes?

yes

on linux it does nothing, except stopping timers and flash a moment.

so that should be changed to [hide main-window/pane perhaps.

somewhere in the [window: func]

Mmm.  HIDE doesn't work on latest Rebol/View betas, but it minimizes 
a window face on View 1.2.1.3.1

doesn't work

 = doesn't change appearance of the window (don't know about timers 
 yet)

published a fix. can you try it again?

Open still tries to save, obviously, but when I cancel now it does 
not minimize (I see a quick flash of the window though)

:) The next problem is: why is the "Open" button asking to save ?

open tries to save the last file. it thinks it is modified, instead 
its missing. but text <> attempt[read file], so..

Ok...

Gosh! the two scrollers interact with each other...

its tricky to stop the timers. hide works but flashes. hide on window 
does not flash on linux, so i thought i had a good way.

yes, use the left. the right scrolls a fixed amount.

sometimes i have files with some 100kb. than the normal scroller 
scales not fine enough. then i use the right one to scroll in that 
area.

Ah yes, a relative scroller. Middle-mouse button would be good for 
this one day...

yes, poor mans middle mouse :)

Maybe we can trap right+left combo ?

hmm, worth trying

I wanted to make one of those relative scroller icons as seen in 
Firefox. One day...

Well, I got it to colourize some code. Pretty ugly ! ;-) but you're 
getting there. Interesting "floating" coloured blocks.

interesting point is, you give it a text-face, a start and end, and 
a template for markup and do:
  markup-face ta make markup-face! [color: local/2] start end
and then you have markup :)

Very cool Volker! You never cease to amaze me.

*=blush*= :)9

:.)9 -> :)

Does anybody know if it's possible to catch third mouse-button's 
up and down events? I know of the scroll-line and scroll-page thing, 
but ...

I don't think so. Let me check the binary :)

Nope, there's only down, alt-down, up, alt-up

On windows maybe the system port will see the WM_MBUTTONDOWN & UP 
messages.

Did you know you can do the whole markup with iterated faces? 1766 
markups ~8000kb.
