AkelPad

Hey everyone!
I've tried Notepad++ and Notepad2 before.
AkelPad is the best because it have the best features of both.

Just some minor adjustements in the GUI would be perfect:






And as I'm here, not as a suggestion but out of curiosity, I found this .nfo reader which have the smoothest text/font rendering in the world
https://code.google.com/p/infekt/



I think it uses hardware acceleration/directdraw or something.

For this, manual settings are useful (read in AkelHelp-Eng.htm, section "Manual settings").
Set parameter PaintOptions to 768:
"256 - Show scroll bars only when needed."
"512 - Draw thin edit window border."
For ease you can use the script: AkelPadManualSettings.js

Thanks KDJ!
I'd never thought of those options could be set in the .ini
This AkelPad is powerful! Very well written!
I'll look some more in the help file!

dziękuję ci

(It's an old thread, I know.)

Why would you have to draw the small border? 256 should suffice, shouldn't it? Especially if status bar is activated (via main menu). But also if there is no status bar I cannot see why one would need borders?

This is pretty neat. Are there more customization options in the manual settings? I'd love to have maybe if there was a theme changer option and youd be able to customize and save your own themes. Would that still be considered minor gui changes?

To change color theme:
- Main menu -> View -> Colors,
- Coder plugin, function Coder::Settings.
