Ordering of special attributes "fgcolor" and "style"

Templates/Scripts
1

When I use both these attributes, it looks like fgcolor is ignored if it comes before style.

I’m using the theme Starry Sky (dark), just in case the theme affects the ordering of fgcolor and style.

The style attribute includes both a foreground and background color. If you use it with fgcolor it will currently override the color given with fgcolor.

Styles can affect both foreground and background colors but by default just change the background colors. To see the current colors open the Theme/Color Options dialog and scroll down to Template Styles . Styles can also be set for variables using the SetStyle/

I took this to mean that the styles supplied with 010 Editor don’t, by default, change the foreground colors?

This is a little tricky. Styles do have a foreground and background color but by default the foreground color is set to ‘None’, meaning use the default editor color. When you use

int test <style=sHeading1>;

that forces the foreground color to ‘None’. If you want to change the foreground color, the solution is to set the fgcolor after setting a style like this:

int test <style=sHeading1, fgcolor=cBlue>;

Got it. Thanks for the clarification (which should perhaps go into the 010 Editor Help).
