Thanks a lot George! Now I've got a beautiful-looking, high-contrast screen. /Roger -----Original Message----- From: oXygen-user <oxygen-user-bounces(a)oxygenxml.com> On Behalf Of George Bina Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2021 3:47 PM To: oxygen-user(a)oxygenxml.com Subject: [EXT] Re: [oXygen-user] How to set the color to black and white? Hi Roger, Check the Options->Preferences -- Editor preference page https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/23.1/ug-editor/topics/preferences-ed… Probably you have the "Find highlight color" set to white and the same color is used also for displaying the results. For controlling the selection colors, on the same preferences page try playing with the Selection background color Allows you to set the background color of selected text. Selection foreground color Allows you to set the color of selected text. Note also the Options->Preferences -- Appearance https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/23.1/ug-editor/topics/preferences-ap… This section allows you to export a color theme and also to import a previously exported one. You also have links to all the preference pages where colors can be set.

Hi Folks, I have mostly got my screen configured as I want (black and white) but a couple items are still not right. First, when I do a "find" the results are displayed at the bottom, as expected. But the string that I searched for (in the example shown below I did a find on the string <bearing1>) becomes white. See screenshot below. How do I fix this, please? Second, when I select/highlight something there is no color change, i.e., I can’t see what I selected/highlighted. How do I restore the selecting/highlighting color, please? /Roger [cid:image001.png@01D72547.A7987050] -----Original Message----- From: oXygen-user <oxygen-user-bounces(a)oxygenxml.com> On Behalf Of George Bina Sent: Monday, March 29, 2021 3:42 PM To: oxygen-user(a)oxygenxml.com Subject: [EXT] Re: [oXygen-user] How to set the color to black and white? Dear Roger, There are two type of symbols that are rendered with a color, elements with the xsd prefix and an XPath expression. For the first type, go to Options -> Preferences -- Editor / Syntax Highlight / Elements/Attributes by Prefix We have here an association between a prefix and a color. This allows to easily distinguish elements or attributes with a specified prefix from the rest of the document. You may remove those mappings or define the color you like them to be mapped to. For some additional details please see also: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/23.1/ug-editor/topics/preferences-co… For the second type you need to control the XPath syntax highlighting colors. For that go to Options -> Preferences -- Editor / Syntax Highlight and ecpand the XQuery/XPath entry and set the desired colors and styles for the different token types.

How to set the color to black and white?
by Roger L Costello 29 Mar '21

Hi Folks, My aging eyes need greater contrast than the default settings provide. Black/white is, of course, the greatest contrast possible. I've been able to find the color settings for most things, but there are a few stubborn items that I cannot seem to change. See the below items in blue. How to change them to white? /Roger [cid:image001.png@01D724A2.9BCEEB50]

[Ann] Version 2.5.0 of the Oxygen Git Client add-on is released!
by Alin Belu 23 Mar '21

23 Mar '21

Hello, We are excited to announce the release of Oxygen Git Client add-on version 2.5.0! This add-on is compatible with Oxygen XML Editor/Author/Developer version 21.1 or higher. Some of the most important features found in the newest version of the add-on were also some of the most requested, such as the improvements made for when working with submodules: * After a repository that contains submodules is cloned, all submodules are also automatically initialized and cloned. * When pulling the remote changes for a repository that contains submodules, the submodules are updated as well (by default). This behavior depends on the Update all submodules after pulling changes from the remote repository option from the Git Client preferences page in Oxygen. * If a submodule appears as changed in the Unstaged files area, you can open it using the Open action from the contextual menu. * The tooltip shown for a modified submodule from the Unstaged files area now presents information about the currently and previously tracked commits. Other improvements added in version 2.5.0 of the Oxygen Git Client add-on that expand its functionality even further include: * The addition of a new field in the login dialog box for authentication using a personal access token. Note that from August 13, 2021, GitHub will no longer accept password-based authentication (https://github.blog/2020-12-15-token-authentication-requirements-for-git-op…) * Branches created from other local branches are now automatically checked out. This behavior can be disabled by deselecting the Checkout branch option in the Create branch dialog box. * The Git Staging side-view has been slightly redesigned and now has a cleaner look. * Added support for Dutch localization. * Fixed an issue where debugging the Git Client using Apache Log4j did not work. * Fixed an issue where opening submodules that required authentication was not possible. * Fixed various other bugs and added several small UX improvements. Also, make sure to check the README page for the Git Client add-on on GitHub: https://github.com/oxygenxml/oxygen-git-plugin/blob/master/README.md We hope that you will enjoy using the latest release of the Oxygen Git Client add-on as much as we enjoyed developing it!

by Alin Belu 19 Mar '21

19 Mar '21

Hello, We are excited to announce that version 1.1.0 of the Oxygen DITA Prolog Updater add-on is now available in the Oxygen XML default add-on repository! Version 1.1.0 of the Oxygen DITA Prolog Updater add-on comes with these useful new improvements: * The possibility to customize the value of the type attribute for the author element that is inserted to allow you to specify the primary (creator) author. * A new option was added that lets you customize the value of the type attribute for the author element that is inserted to allow you to specify an additional author (contributor). * The process was improved so that an additional author (contributor) cannot be added if they are already specified as the primary (creator) author. * An issue where a warning message was reported even though prolog updating was disabled has been fixed. To install the add-on, follow these instructions: 1. In Oxygen, go to Help->Install new add-ons to open an add-on selection dialog box. 2. Enter or paste https://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Addons/default/updateSite.xml in the Show add-ons from field. 3. Select the DITA Prolog Updater add-on and click Next. 4. Read the end-user license agreement. Then select the I accept all terms of the end-user license agreement option and click Finish. 5. Restart the application. For more information, see the details for the Oxygen DITA Prolog Updater add-on on GitHub: https://github.com/oxygenxml/oxygen-dita-prolog-updater We hope you will find this add-on useful and, as always, your feedback is welcomed! Best regards, Alin -- Alin Belu Oxygen XML Editor

to from fun

Hi all, I am going on vacation soon. I have Oxygen on my desktop and have installed it now also on my laptop. I am still authoring on my desktop, but I want a way to sync my files etc. from my desktop to my laptop so that they will contain the same data. How do I do this? I am guessing that the project file alone won't help me. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
