1. RE: Nexus v2
Don,
Tried the attached program, it ran and said the key was removed. I
reran Nexus, changed my window colors and got the same result.
I then traced the GetProfileBin routine and noticed that none of the
registery values were being retrieved so the problem is not isloated to
the colors.
Did I mention I was using Win2000 Pro? I wonder if this might be a
security related issue. I read through the docs on the routines to
get/set reg values and noticed some discussion of security issues for
the NT/2000/XP platform. Didn't have a lot of time to investigate.
What OS are you using?

2. RE: Nexus v2
Don,
Really like the Nexus editor! I'm actually considering trading my
ConText for Nexus! However, there's one thing thats keeping me from
doing so.
I changed the window color scheme (background, text color, keywords,
etc.) to match what I had set up in ConText. When I close the editor
and opened another file the color scheme reverted back to the scheme it
came with.
I pressed Apply and it changed but it didn't appear to save the
settings. Am I doing something wrong or is this a coming feature?

Actually this is a new feature! (Just kidding). Must be a bug. It
*was* working on version 1. To add in multiple file support I had to
recode and shuffle around about 75% of what I had already written. I
tried to be thorough in my testing (tried each button and window) but
mainly concentrated on crash bugs. Chances are good I placed the save
code in the wrong procedure so its not being called at all... I will
look at it tonight. Thanks for the heads up...

4. RE: Nexus v2
Hey Jonas, im stumped... my version (same as I sent to RDS) seems not
have this problem as far as I can tell. I can modify any setting I
choose and it will not only propigate to all open editor windows, it is
also being correctly restored when re-run.
The only thing I can think of is that its possible (although I dont know
how) that the registry key I am writing to on your system got corrupted.
Below is a small program which will find and remove the main key and all
values in it from your computer. Then you can run Nexus again and it
will reset everything to its default state and recreate the key as it
should be.
I think I will keep this in all future releases as well just in case...
Let me know if this fixes (or not) the problem you are describing.
