I was having problems with this path thing but finally got Function List to list functions for my MQL4 code when i select one of the C languages. Not able to add any group or rule yet from the Parsing Rules dialogue box yet without crashing NPP. Curiously, if i try to view the results for VB, it will also crash NPP. Anyways, i had trouble with path till i found "Run" in Accessories and typed in %appdata% notepad++ This revealed the path/folder to where this legendary extra FunctionListRules.xml file was located. Sure enough, it was only 1 KB instead of 33 KB. So i took someones advice and overwrote the 1 KB file with a fresh 33 KB (the size of my original file) file, and for the hell of it, changed it to read-only. Finally! I'm starting to get results. For the hell of it, i reverted it from read-only to what it was before and it seems to not be bothered when NPP opens and closes. Don't make the mistake i made re: path. I manually searched for the path of this elusive appdata (in Win 7) or application data (in XP) folder by unhiding hidden folders. I first went c:\Users\default\AppData\Roaming ...but i found no Notepad++ folder! So i made one, and also a plugin\config and put the files in there! That was a waste of time because it was a wild goose chase. I had somehow not seen there was another path that goes more like this: c:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++ To see AppData folder, you have to go to Organize>Folder and search options... Whew! Now if i can just edit in some rules without crashing NPP! RE: path for files

Light grey background is hard to see, so I would like to change it.

How can I change the active and inactive line background color?
Could you put a color change possibility into config file?

Thanks!

What operating system are you on? Try adding a rule in the editor inside of Notepad++ and then check the FunctionListRules.xml file to see if it added it to the list or not. @Richard, Did you close out of Notepad++ before you made the changes to the FunctionListRules.xml?
