Release Notes

You can customize your highlighting colors by looking at the speedware.tmLanguage.json file. Look for the "name" field for each type of match. This is what is used to color your keywords. You can use this by going to your VScode user settings and applying them to the scope of your custom textmate rules. This will change the color of these elements to your desired color. Example below:

    "editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
       "textMateRules": [
           {
               "scope": "keyword.control.spw",
               "settings": {
                   "foreground": "#ff00dd"
               } 
           },
           {
               "scope": "constant.numeric.spw",
               "settings": {
                   "foreground": "#d66b06",
               }
           }
       ]
