Description Erich Gamma CLA 2004-06-01 06:05:48 EDT 
When enabling semantic coloring the current default settings result in a too 
colorful appearance.

1) we don't have to leverage all color settings out of the box and should only 
use a reasonable subset of the settings. These settings need to look appealing.
2) need to decide on the colors for the subset

To simplify item 1) there should be a way to disable the coloring of an item. 
Suggest to add a checkbox on the left of the color item. Having the checkbox 
unchecked means use the default color.

Comment 2 Andre Weinand CLA 2004-06-11 08:05:24 EDT 
verified checkbox functionality for I20040611.

New color set still missing.
Comment 3 Erich Gamma CLA 2004-06-18 13:15:56 EDT 
Here is the proposed scheme for the advanced color settings:

Abstract Method Invocations: disabled - default black
Constants: disabled - default black
Fields: enabled - bold - 0, 0, 192
Inherited Method invocations: disabled - default black
Local variable declarations: disabled - default black
Local variable references: disabled - default black
Method declarations: enabled - bold - black
Parameter variables: disabled - default black
Static fields: enabled - bold, italic - 0, 0, 192
Static method invocations: enabled - italic, bold black
