Hi,

Is there a way to override a style of a text range that was already styled?
If I use that in my highlight configuration:
TextStyle textStyle = defaultTextStyle().copy();

then it loses all the previous colour syntaxing and so on.

What I am trying to do is to modify the background color of a feature while preserving its syntax colour.

Thanks for the help
Aurel

You mean something similar to what is said below?

Quote:
Although, the implementation of the IHighlightingConfiguration interface is a good possibility how to add new text styles, all default text styles are lost with this option. The possible solution how to preserve the default styles is to extend the DefaultHighlightingConfiguration class already implementing the interface and override the configure method to add new text styles. In order not to lose all default text styles, method's implementation has to contain call of the ancestor's implementation.
