I am new to Notepad++. I have been using Textpad for many years but I recently got fed up with them because they have never taken the rather obvious suggestion of allowing one to scroll font size up and down like almost every other Windows application. For aging eyes this is a must. I found Notepad++ does this and a whole lot more. I have spent some time in Style Configurator and am pretty happy with all the options, except that for some reason when I highlight or select any given text the font color or foreground remains the same. In most applications, as in Textpad, when you select text this applies the background color and the foreground goes to white. Even in the Style Configurator window itself, when any item under Style is selected the item is highlighted in blue and the text changes to white. It would be almost impossible to read it if it remained black. Even as I type this request, if I select a word the black font changes to white under the blue selection color. I’m working around this in NPP by using a fairly light color for highlighting, so I can still read the black through it, but I would prefer a darker highlighting with white font or foreground. Hope someone adds this rather obvious option soon.
