edit comment colour

[dphi...@bhbs.hereford.sch.uk]

Is there any way to change the colour of comments? The reason for this is that I often use Thonny in school and project onto a whiteboard - the fact that the comments are pale grey means that they are often really hard to read for students because of the washing out of colours when using the OHP.

I (and my students) much prefer Thonny to IDLE, but I have had to resort to using IDLE whenever I need to emphasize the importance  of comments in code (which is fairly often with a bunch of teenage coders!)

Thanks

Hi!

Currently Thonny doesn't allow configuring syntax colors, but I added this to my TODO list: https://bitbucket.org/plas/thonny/issues/194/make-syntax-highlighting-configurable. Check this link for a temporary workaround.

Hi, sorry for taking your time:

is there any way to change the color for triple quotes comments?? As for use them as documentation comments?

I tried this:

but does not work. It works fine for built in though.

Hi!

Try changing self.multiline_tagdefs in coloring.py, eg.

        self.multiline_tagdefs = {

            "STRING_CLOSED3": {"font":main_font, 'background':None, 'foreground':"Red"},

            "STRING_OPEN3"  : self.uniline_tagdefs["STRING_OPEN"],

            }

best regards,
