I really need to add Undo/Redo so that this has some value, but I can't do it, anybody knows how to?
I know how to, but for a text editor, it's a little more complicated.  Essentially, you need to store a certain number of "actions" into a buffer (Say 30), and then be able to undo and redo them. I would have two stacks. One is for Undo, and one is for Redo. Actions go on to the Undo stack.  When you "undo" them, they swap to the redo stack, along with being undone. When you redo, if there are any on the "redo" stack, you swap them to the undo stack, and redo them.

As for how much text you decide is an "action", or how you deal with that, is up to you. As long as you can undo and redo it.

Nice!
definitely a fine program :)

Single issue I can say is the text size, if I had to read a whole page my eyes would really start to hurt...

Some irony, hein?

Next version will have an option to choose the size, I'm already making it. For now, I only added it to 12, quick update :).

this is exactly what i do for my tilemap editor. i can give the method for manipulating the stacks if you want, scout. though it may be better to learn about the package javax.swing.undo, because it was built for redo/undo in things like a text editor. my tilemap editor is really simple because you can only undo or redo placing a tile. in a text editor it's probably more complex.

http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/undo/package-summary.html

This looks as easy as in .NET:

Code: [Select]
textBox1.Undo();
textBox3.Redo();
While trying to implement a Font Dialog, I came across an automatic Font Dialog, but it needs to import stuff like:

Code: [Select]
import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.events.SelectionAdapter;
import org.eclipse.swt.events.SelectionEvent;
import org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Color;
import org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Font;
import org.eclipse.swt.graphics.FontData;
import org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Image;
import org.eclipse.swt.graphics.RGB;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.FillLayout;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Button;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.FontDialog;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Text;

Both NetBeans and Eclipse say that those imports are invalid. Is it a special download?

why do you need all those classes? and yes they seem like a package you would download from the internet for extended usability of Eclipse.

Great, if you need any help I'm willing to help you with code or anything.


Also, I hate releasing two versions in the same day, but this one is just an optimized version of the other one  8)

I am proud to announce that this version is 16.9KB large and the other one was 18.4KB large.  :w00t:

Nice, it gets smaller. For the black background mode you should make the cursor white, though.

i think you can change the cursor (i.e. go from the standard cursor to the hourglass waiting cursor, etc), but i don't think you can actually change the cursor's attributes like color.
