Dreamweaver question

Post by Mooncat »

I am trying to learn Adobe Dreamweaver. In the window containing the code XHTML with CSS, the comments are shown in a different colour for ease of finding, but I find the chosen colour difficult to read. Is it possible to change it?
I started out with nothing, I still have most of it.

To set code coloring preferences:
Select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Dreamweaver > Preferences (Macintosh).
Select Code Coloring from the Category list on the left.

The Code Coloring preferences appear.
Adjust any of the settings in the dialog box.

Dreamweaver with dual monitors

Post by Mooncat »

Thanks. Sorted out the Font size as well. Found out I can have a second monitor, so I can have the coding window on one and the panels on the other. As the motherboard has on-board graphics, D-sub out only, and I have a spare PCI socket, I need a graphics card. I don't play games, so a basic spec will do. I have a spare monitor with both VGA and DVI inputs. Any ideas what I can get away with?

If it's on-board graphics, surely you have an empty PCI-E or APG slot?

I have a PCI and a PCI-E slot, but not an AGP slot, which is a shame as there is a redundant AGP card hanging about here. :sad: I'm hoping to get an unwanted old card from somebody who doesn't need it. :wink:

I splashed out on a PCI-E graphics card from dabs.com, and the son gave me a new hard drive as mine was sounding as if it was at death's door. Updated all software, defragged all files, and it's full steam ahead. Only problem now is there is a 10mm black band at the bottom of monitor 2 and the title bar is hidden. Shucks!

You might need to fiddle around with the display settings a bit.

Right-click on the Desktop and select Properties.

Click the Settings tab and have a bit of a fiddle with the resolution settings on the 2nd display option.
