Roku Developer Program

I have created the following styler settings for BrightScript files in Notepad++. You can save the following to brightscript.xml. Open Notepad++ and go to the View menu -> User-Defined Dialogue. Click Import... and select brightscript.xml. The colors might look bad if you use a bright colored background (see note below)

Note: It was created on a darker global background color set in the Style Configurator. You can set your global background color from the Settings menu -> Style Configurator, Select Global Styles | Global override, check Enable global background colour, then pick your background colour; I use RGB(62,62,62) in the screenshot. You can also customize the colors of BrightScript from the User-Defined Dialogue after selecting BrightSript for User language at the top left.

And, here is the lighter version. Also included is the roku default colors taken from the eclipse highlighting.
If you are running a version of Notepad++ that does not have import / export on the "User-Defined Dialogue" then just add the lines to your "userDefineLang.xml" file.

That looks very nice. I was able to get a similar result using by going to Settings>Style Configurator ..., selecting Language : VB/VBS, adding brs as a user ext., then adding in a few user-defined keywords (by selecting Style: WORD): endif void invalid.

I'm going to try using your style for a while and see if I like it better. The only thing I would change so far would be to add "void" as a keyword.

I submitted this to Notepad++ developers so maybe they will include it in the next release https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=d ... id=612385#
