If I do:

What I do is put my color triggers in a module so all my windows can see them, then they just get recolored in the new window.

in your example you could also use:

#WIN Channels {<color gray,firebrick>%line</color>}

That would work if I did my coloring and capturing with the same trigger. Unfortunately, I do the coloring with one trigger and it may or may not be captured to the other window depending on the text by the other trigger.

But his first suggestion, putting all your colouring triggers in a module that can be seen by all the windows that you want coloured, should work just fine.

How would I do that?

In the settings editor, use the "New" button to create a new module. Under "packages enabled for this module", check the names of the package(s) containing the windows you want to highlight text in. Then go to those windows and check the package containing containing your new module. Then move your highlighting triggers over to your new module.

Edit: Also remember that if you're using variables which are stored in those windows, they won't be visible outside the window, so best to move that to an accessible module, too.

That seems overly complicated to remedy the background color not being captured. Additionally the coloring requires a large database which is specific to the main module. I'm not sure that ripping that out and putting it in another module would work since the database needs to be maintained by the other package.

Why does the text color come over fine, but not the background color? I don't understand why this is this a problem in the first place?

Would using MXP be a way around this issue with #cw?

Should I post this in the bug section? It seems like a bug that the foreground color makes it over but the background color doesn't. I can't image it was done that way intentionally.

There is no 'bug' section. Bugs with the public version can be posted here.

Sorry, I meant the Beta section.

So do I call this a bug?
