Hi,
I have never modified the default settings for Liberty Basic (fonts, colors, etc.), but all of a sudden they changed so that the editor font was different, keywords were not highlighted and even the output of my program was changed.
Earlier my program printed info on the screen using tabs, so that a list was printed neatly in columns, but now tab (,) is interpreted as "add x spaces after last character". This means that columns are not aligned on fixed tab positions like they used to be.
The only thing I changed on my PC was country settings for WPS office, but that should not affect Liberty Basic?
How can I restore these settings? I'm using Liberty Basic PRO version 4.04.

First I would recommend that you upgrade to LB Pro 4.5.1. Send me an email to carlg@libertybasic.com and I will send you a download link. I'm not sure why changing WPS Office settings should affect things. Perhaps that is a support question for their support team, unless of course that isn't really what's going on here. Are you having any trouble loading your BAS files and running them? If that all works, then perhaps you should just use the Setup menu Preferences item and change the preferences back to what you prefer. I'd be interested in know what the user data path is now. Try running this one line program: print DefaultDir$ Report back what the new path is and maybe we will have a clue as to what is happening. I bet the reason your columns are not lining up us because the font is changed and is no longer a monospaced font. Use the Setup menu Editor Font item to change the font to Courier New or other monospaced font. -Carl

Thanks! I changed the font to Courier New and now the columns are straight again. A bit embarrassing to notice that so simple thing got me stunned No idea how and why this happened in the first place. Timo

is there a way to change the background color of the editor?

The editor uses Windows default colours. Change those and the editor should change. It isn’t really something you should do programmatically. The users colour choice is what they desire. That’s how Windows works.
