Hey guys,
I know that it’s possible to change/modify the syntax highlighting inside the maxscript editor, but I’m not 100% sure what I need to change to do what I want (although a guy i used to work with had done this for me so I know it works!).
How can I make matching ( and ) colourise to say a green colour so the contrast they have with all the other parentesis in the script is noticeable? At present they are both a very similar blue which strains my eyes when I’m trying to find opening and closing ones!
Thanks in advance for any help!
Copy this ( a dark scheme I use)
