Block Group Indicator

Does anyone know if there is a way to change the color or the transparency of the Block Group Indicator in the Propeller Tool?

Sometimes it is difficult for me to see it.

Edit: I just realized (too late) that you're interested in changing the "Group Indicator" (as you said). I don't know if that can be done or not. Sorry for not reading your question carefully enough. (You do know that ctrl+I will turn it on and off? That's all I can find to change on the group indicators.)

To change the color of the differnent blocks do the following:

In the Propeller Tool choose: Run\Preferences...

Under Syntax Highlighting | Scheme: choose "Spin".

With "Spin" selected click the "Copy" button.

You'll be asked if you want to copy the Spin scheme to "Custom" in order to change it. Click "Yes" to this.

You can then expand the "BLOCKS" under "Elements:" and see the various block types. By clicking on the various block types the "Attributes" of the block type will be shown. You can then edit the "Background" color here. I'm pretty sure you'll need to click "Save..." in order to save your changes to the "Custom" scheme.

You should then be able to use the custom scheme with you new colors.

Edit: Maybe the group indicators would be easier to see if you changed the backgound color?

Not at all a solution to your problem, but if you find that you can't stand the colors you can use a different editor. I use Gedit: http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php/140139-Gedit-Spin-Syntax-Highlighting-gt-Solution!
