The colour model for GtkSourceView2 is different, and that is what you are seeing with the upgrade to gedit 2.20+ The modern approach presents all languages and document formats consistently. See the Highlighting section in <http://live.gnome.org/GtkSourceView> for tutorials. There are many styles available beyond the default styles that ship with gedit <http://live.gnome.org/GtkSourceView/StyleSchemes>. You can install them in .local/share/gtksourceview-2.0/styles/ (restart gedit to enable them) -- __C U R T I S C. H O V E Y_______ Guilty of stealing everything I am.
