System File Colours

jmshep

Not really a problem but when system files are posted on the forum, many are in colour. Mine are all in B&W is there a reason for this?

Duet 2 WiFi, DWC and firmware 3.2 RC2

Thanks

@jmshep this was as part of a change to RC2 due to issues with the mobile version.
It's been raised here https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/20562/dwc-3-2rc2-files-display

But I had this problem before I updated to 3.2 RC2. Is there a setting to allow file listing to be in colour after the apparent problem is fixed?

jay_s_uk

@jmshep no. Its either activated in DWC or its not.
What version was it not working on before?

jmshep

It has not worked on any previous versions, the one installed before 3.2 was 3.1.1

jay_s_uk

@jmshep it wasn't a feature of 3.1.1
It's only come in as part of 3.2 and at the moment, it's broken.

@jmshep DWC displays you config, homing, macro etc files in a basic text editor in your browser. Here's a screenshot of mine (using 'dark mode' in RRF 3.1.1):

When people post their code on the forum, then generally use the 'Code Snippet' tool in their posts. This one:

This is is what makes their code coloured/highlighted and pretty (and a lot easier to scroll through!):

Thank you both for your replies.
If understand correctly, the colour display has been disabled in DWC for touch devices (which I don't have).
The description of the 'Code Snippet' tool explains why I don't see my normal file listings in colour on my PC monitor
and I am not missing out on a feature.

@jmshep the colour display in DWC is broken not disabled.

Just upgraded from 3.2RC to 3.2 and file listings are now in colour.
