Hi,

the first enhancement request is probably covered by

Bug 82279 - Customisable syntax highlighting
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=82279

I'll put it on my list of bugs to consider for CDT 4.0.

The other is already a plan item for 4.0:

Bug 81511 - Unreachable #ifdef blocks should be marked in editor
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=81511
