ICSharpCode.TextEditor - Change Syntax Colors

Question

Hello, I'm using the ICSharpCode.TextEditor and want to change the syntax colors... in the namespace

ICSharpCode.TextEditor.Document

there is the

public class HighlightColor

but I don't know how to give new colors to the editor. Somebody there, who knows how to do this or where I can find a documentation for that editor control?

Thank you.

The syntax highlighting in ICSharpCode.TextEditor is determined by the syntax highlighting definition (.xshd file) used for the highlighting.

See http://wiki.sharpdevelop.net/Syntax highlighting.ashx for a description of the file format and how to load it into the text editor.

If you download the SharpDevelop source code, you can find the existing highlighting definitions in SharpDevelop\src\Libraries\ICSharpCode.TextEditor\Project\Resources.
