Background screen colors in IDE

[nfordbscndrd]

I would like comments in my code to have a different background color so that they stand out more. In VB6, I have Black on Light Green, but when I try that in B4A's XML, its actual color depends on the IDE background. For example, if the IDE background is Cyan, the Light Green comment background looks a dull yellow.

I assume this is because the comment background's alpha is not solid. Is there any way to fix that? (Couldn't find anything via Google.)

The background color is transparent by default.
You can change it. The following attributes are supported:

I don't see anything in your post about changing Alpha to solid. As I said, when I set BackColor to Light Green for comments and the IDE's BackColor is Cyan, the comment's BackColor looks like muddy yellow. So I assume that the comment's BackColor's Alpha is not solid.

By default the comments background is completely transparent.

By default the comments background is completely transparent.

I think we are talking about different things. I'm using the following:

<Style Key="IdeBackground" ForeColor="Cyan" />
<Style Key="CommentDefaultStyle" ForeColor="Black" />
<Style Key="CommentDefaultStyle" BackColor="LightGreen" />

In the image below, B4A is on the left and VB6 on the right with the same color specs.

My question about Alpha was because I assumed that it was less than solid and the IDE's Cyan background was diluting the Comment's LightGreen. However, I just tried Yellow in B4A for comments and it looked as expected. So I guess Android/B4A just has a different opinion of what Light Green should be versus VB6's.
