This is just too tempting :). I edit Ada 95 code with Emacs, which provides colorization of strings (among other things). The variable that sets the color of these strings is font-lock-string-face. Here is the definition of font-lock-string-face: (defface font-lock-string-face '((((type tty) (class color)) (:foreground "green")) (((class grayscale) (background light)) (:foreground "DimGray" :italic t)) (((class grayscale) (background dark)) (:foreground "LightGray" :italic t)) (((class color) (background light)) (:foreground "RosyBrown")) (((class color) (background dark)) (:foreground "LightSalmon")) (t (:italic t))) "Font Lock mode face used to highlight strings." :group 'font-lock-highlighting-faces) So, to change the color of a string in Ada 95, I would change one of the colors listed above. That was fun :). I assume you are really asking about the color of a string displayed in a particular graphical user interface. You'll have to tell us which GUI toolkit you are using, on which operating system, to get anything like a helpful answer. -- -- Stephe
