[Eric] Black Background

[detlev]

Hi,

the solution is to set the background of all highlighter styles to the 
background of your style. You must set the fill to end of line option for the 
default font as well. That should result in the desired effect. Unfortunately 
there is no method provided by QScintilla (or even Scintilla) to do that.

Regards,
Detlev
