I'm using IDE 5.5.5 and the syntax coloring is partly broken. It show my
custom functions color and globals color. However, enums are not colored
at all, classes are colored with the functions color and templates are
colored with the classes color.

Does anyone know what's going on? I removed the object code and rebuilt
to no effect.

Thanks.

try getting rid of your preferences file and let CW recreate it.
also, the obvious step of double-checking your color settings before
nuking the prefs file.

Okay, I tried it twice. First I just threw away the IDE prefs,
relaunched, reset the colors, and it's still broken. Then I trashed the
entire Metrowerks prefs folder, and did it again. The color prefs are
simply broken in IDE 5.5.5. Enums don't get any special color (they're
the text color), classes get the function color, templates get the class
color.

Is no one else having this experience with CodeWarrior? It's quite
annoying because I rely on the colors to quickly visually scan a screenful
of code and understand what's what.

Mostly I want to know if anyone else is having this problem. I don't know
what to do about it.

Thanks.

Got it. I had to trash the project Data folder.

Cheers!
