Yes, probably. I'm not sure.

What's a keyword group? You can change the colors, but you'd change all of the keywords to another color (except "return": you can color returns with a different color, useful to see all exit paths of a function).

I mean log out of XP. Because normally you only need to restart the program. A well, it works now. I'm happy again :D

Poseidon has 7 (custom) groups of keywords which have different colours.
eg. import=orange, static=green, void=blue, this=purple
To me it makes source much easier to navigate.

Honestly I don't know how people can cope with that.. if you use 30 colors, don't they stop having meaning?  :|

It's possible, yes. But I think the code will look like a mess. :-P

I'll need a complete list of the keywords inside each group to do that. And... I'm back to university, and work, and in a few days I'm on vacations, so... I won't be able to do much.

Yes, but they make me feel better, especially with a blue / mint green color scheme.

Yes, I think the code will look like a mess. But maybe he's talking about primitive types with one color, attributes with other, etc. But something like:

public static void ... {
}

with three different colors would just call my attention too much and I won't be able to focus on the real code. :-P

The worst offender, by far, is the D highlighter for Kate.  It has 24 separate styles for various syntactico-semantic elements, all of which have different colors by default.  It looks like a rainbow vomited. It's just so distracting :P

Me understands..

I could list everything here, but I think it would be easiest to just
download Poseidon.
That way you can marvel at its highlighting in private.

Yeah, but poseidon's style isn't that overloaded. I also prefer its syntax highlighting.
