Hi

1. Can we change the font of IDE/VLE (not source editor pane) ?
2. Can we change the default-style of IDE/VLE ?
3. Can we configure Eclipse with Curl v7.0 ?

(I think we can, coz IDE/VLE are also curl applets, then which are their respective start.curl files)

1. I think that might be controlled by some OS font preference, but I'm not sure.
2. I don't think so.
3. I expect there will be a new Nitro 7.0 beta which will have the same Eclipse features that will be released with the first official non-beta Curl 6.0 Eclipse CDE.

In relation to 1 and 2, even though the Curl IDE is an application written in Curl, I don't think there is any source.curl file that is installed with them, which you would be able to change.

Duke's right, the IDE and VLE pick up the current font setting from the OS. If you change your OS setting -- on Windows I think it's the dialog font setting -- you should see the font change in the IDE.

I don't thing there's a way to change the style sheet used by the IDE.

The entire source for the VLE is included with the IDE, so if you're so inclined, you can modify the VLE code to use a different font, and probably to use a different style sheet too.

If you change the source of the VLE in the ide/vle directory in your curl install tree, the next time you launch the IDE the newer source will be used. If you do this, you may want to make a backup first!

And no, neither the IDE or the VLE are curl applets.

No solution from OS settings. Its may be within the IDE/VLE code and set for "Courier" font. No prob. I just wanted to know the setting.

To be clear, exactly what text is showing up in Courier? By default, that's the curl monospace font, which in the IDE is only used by the curl source editor. You can change this setting by using the curl editor preferences dialog.

Also, I think you might have to restart the IDE for it to notice that the OS dialog font preference setting had been changed.
