Feedback GMS2 {} and () colour

[Geoff Jones]

Hello all.

I've noticed in GMS2.0 the { and ( are both grey making it very hard to see the difference for people with vision impairments. I find it very difficult to tell the difference on my small, high resolution screen. in GMS1.x they were different colours, making it very easy. Pics attached. Please let me know if there's an option I can change, or if it could be implemented in future patches. This is literally giving me a headache.
I guess one way around it is to change the font to one which has more distinct ( and { characters. but having them different colours would be preferable.

EDIT: In the meantime try using this font. Its a nice monospaced font for code editing with very distinct ( and { characters. http://www.1001freefonts.com/source_code_pro.font

This is a fantastic point. I was wondering why I was struggling in some places and this explains it perfectly.

I hope this gets changed.

Yes, of course! I would not have been able to put my finger on it! The curly brackets were the same color as the keywords. I would like to have that back!

Agreed!

I agree, the parentheses and curly braces look way too similar. It's very easy to mistake one for the other.

using this font would help a lot. Its a nice monospaced font for code editing http://www.1001freefonts.com/source_code_pro.font

Okay, there's a bug been filed for this and a preference will be added in a future update to control the colour of the {}...
