Solved

Hi Alex,
you have introduce silently (at least i didn't notice it)
<Style id="smart_highlight" name="Smart Highlight"
bold="2" italic="2" underline="2" clr="#FFFFFFFF" bkclr="Incremental Search Result 2" overview="1"/> into
def_spec.xml, thanks.
I didn't notice this before since i didn't see new entry in "Options > Color Schemes".
(Where i expected it to change the color)
And since i didn't have updated the def_spec since i
had modified mine on my own... i didn't had this feature anymore.
After copying the above line into my def,... SmartHighlighting works again. Thanks.
1.) Will you please add code to extract "Smart Highlighting" settings from color_{color}.xml?
(currently we have "Incremental Search 2" to modify, you was right)
2.) can you track modification on default XMLs into your update post
so we are informed what to check and decide what we want to update/merge?
Maybe you can provide an list of diffs? I will try this with free 'unix' diff.exe... and report back.
(BTW:
i have had
<Numbers>-+0-9a-fA-F.xXUL</Numbers>
in my def_spec ?
Was this an holdover from you? I can't imaging where this cames from...)
