styler configurator is primarily used to control the appearance of
the text in Notepad++, but it also allows you to tweak some of the
other aspects that have a user configurable color. <p><imgstyle="width: 756px; height: 391px;"alt=""src="Images/Screenshots/styler_config.png"><p>The styler
configurator has two lists. The left list (<spanclass="label">Language</span>) contains all the
languages that can be styled, as well as other items with some color setting:
<ul><li> Global Styles: controls the user interface colors.
</li><li>Search results: The text of the <ahref="Search%window.html">Search results window</a>
</li><li>DOS style: Highlighting text as if displayed on a command.vom/cmd.exe shell window.
</li></ul><p>
The list on the right
(<spanclass="label">Style</span>) has all the configurable styles for the selected language.
<p>
For
most languages it is straightforward what each property does, so only
the global setup and the exceptions are mentioned here.
