Hello.

I understand that kdevelop highlight is far better than kate's only, mainly
because it understand context, but arguing that some hardcoded options (like
bold fonts or colors) do improve readability is a mistake - readability is a
subjective and personal taste. I for example do not like bold fonts. There are
those who believe this:
http://www.sourceinsight.com/features_files/FullAppLg.gif is a readability
improvement, I disagree.

To be honest, what I hate most is software that thinks that knows more than
myself about my own taste. Thats why many of us are using Linux, not Windows.

No, basically you failed to understand what he was asking. And it really bugs
me that you treated him this ironical way of yours.

Thing is, to disable the bold font for method and variable names I had to edit
kdevplatform sourcecode. I do think thats a bug - maybe not a software bug.
This choice clearly don't belong to the developer but to the user, and users
usually don't know or don't want to change code at all. They should'nt need.

If possible, a solution to this bug would be to provide options for the users
regarding colors and styles that don't belong to kate.

Thanks.
