Select the colors menu item on left to assign colors to defined groups And other non language specific things .
Update OpenROAD Configuration
There are three environment variables that should be set to allow OpenROAD to use an external editor. The first environment variable, II_W4GL_SYSTEMEDITOR, must be set to TRUE, and the second two environment variables, II_WINDOWEDIT and II_WINDOWVIEW, must contain the command to start the external editor, and pass the arguments to the editor. The following lines should be placed in the OpenROAD config.ing file.
II_W4GL_SYSTEMEDITOR=TRUE
II_WINDOWEDIT="C:\Program Files\textpad 4\TextPad.exe" -t"%t" "%f(%l)"
II_WINDOWVIEW="C:\Program Files\textpad 4\TextPad.exe" -r -t"%t" "%f"
The percent lowercase T is the title (component name), the percent lowercase F is replaced with the file name, the percent lowercase L is replaced with the line number, and the -r is for read only.
