Description John R. Hicks CLA 2001-11-12 14:53:54 EST 
It would be very useful to add a preference to change the background color of 
the Java editor, since all of the other elements are editable.
Comment 1 Johan Walles CLA 2001-11-14 03:08:59 EST 
This seems to be a duplicate of bug 4117.
Comment 2 Kevin Haaland CLA 2001-11-20 21:51:02 EST 
This specific defect is referring to a problem with the Java Editor. Once you 
have determined the requirements for the Java specific editor please let me 
know what support you need from the workbench.
Comment 3 Carolyn MacLeod CLA 2002-01-14 14:59:39 EST 
This feature should apply to all editors, not just the Java editor.
Comment 4 Claude Knaus CLA 2002-02-12 10:51:27 EST 
fixed in 20020212-I.
Note: There's no preference page for plain TextEditors yet.

fix

Implementation notes:

@@ TextEditorPreferencePage2 @@

Copied relevant parts from JavaEditorPreferencePage.

I did not read the contents sample from a file but rather made an entry in the
properties.

I left the tab's title "Syntax" -- a plain file has no "syntax" so this might
be a misleading tab title; I did not change it for consistency w/ the
JavaEditor.
Comment 11 Sebastian Davids CLA 2003-08-07 07:32:13 EDT 
this should be moved to platform ui

Comment 15 Dani Megert CLA 2004-12-02 03:55:51 EST 
This has been fixed in I200412011139: there's now a shared/global editor
background preference. It is currently under
Workbench > Editors > All Text Editors
but this can still change since preference rework is still ongoing.
