Change Hyperlink Color?

[stigzler]

Hi folks - I'm converting all the default xshd files for DarkMode applications. On stumbling block I've hit is how to change the colour of hyperlinks. At present they look like this:

Ideally, the solution would be changing this via the xshd file, but I'm not sure this is possible? Second best would be how to change this programmatically and globally for the editor when switching to dark mode, if such a feature exists. Done a bit of a search - can't find anything on this....

Hope someone can help. Loving this btw 👍

That's not possible, unfortunately. The hyperlink generator uses a different mechanism than highlighting.

how to change this programmatically

You can set the default color like this, by having a default style for TextView in scope:

<Style TargetType="{x:Type avalonedit:TextView}">
    <Setter Property="LinkTextForegroundBrush" Value="#99DAF9" />
</Style>

Or by changing that property from C#:

yourTextEditor.TextArea.TextView.LinkTextForegroundBrush = Brushes.LightBlue;
