Setting background color of a symbol margin

[Paul K]

Hi All,

 

I have three margins (line number, symbol, and folds). Whenever I set the background color of the line number margin, it also changes the color of the symbol margin: editor:StyleSetBackground(wxstc.wxSTC_STYLE_LINENUMBER, wx.wxColour(0, 255, 0)). I don't see a separate style for symbol margins.

 

How do I set different background colors for line number and symbol margins? Am I missing something obvious? Thank you.

 

Paul.

There is no separate style for symbol margins.

You can choose SC_MARGIN_BACK or SC_MARGIN_FORE to use colours from STYLE_DEFAULT.

Yes, I can use SetMarginType(1, wxstc.wxSTC_MARGIN_BACK) to set it to the color from STYLE_DEFAULT, but it seems like I can't set it to anything else.

 

So, just to confirm there doesn't seem to be a way to set symbol margin background to a color that doesn't match linenumber background OR current STYLE_DEFAULT background.
