Studio

[Peter Truman]

Hi John - I have a dew days free at the moment (unusual) so I thought I would have a crack at your IDE. I believe I may need a product key or other authenticator? At the moment I can open a new file, but I get mostly redacted (black lines) stuff. Its the same if I try and open a samaple file.

Can you point me in the right direction to get started?

Many thanks in advance :-)

Download the install from here.
This is the latest version available and should get you going. 
I suggest you uninstall whatever you had previoulsy installed first.
There is no product key required.  You must Positron installed before installing studio.

Another thought, it sounds like you colour scheme stettiongs are screwed up.  Can I suggest you change to the Light theme   (Options, Settings, General - choose Light undder Scheme).

If you want to go use the Dark scheme you will have to adjust the highlighter setting manually through Options, Settings, Highlighter.  Alternatively, close application and edit the PositronSudio ini file in Program Data. Delete the section [Highlighter_Dark] and restart. It should restore to a default set of Dark colours.

Belew are the colours which work for me.
