Different color for proposed values?

[chowbok]

Would it be possible to have a different color for proposed values, instead of gray? It's hard to tell the gray from the black sometimes, especially if it's only one character. Or maybe use italics?

I am sure it is doable, but would require changing how the text is set. Right now it is done via a Windows API. It is using this technique: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11873378/adding-placeholder-text-to-textbox/22405509#22405509

ComicRackCE/cYo.Common.Windows/Forms/TextBoxExtensions.cs

Lines 25 to 28 in 7f354aa

	public static void SetCueText(this TextBox tb, string text)
	{
	Native.SendMessage(tb.Handle, Native.EM_SETCUEBANNER, IntPtr.Zero, text);
	}

Changing the text would require modifying the code to just changing the text itself and setting the Font Properties accordingly and making sure to have a way of tracking if the value is proposed or not and not pass a proposed value as a changed value.

It is possible but the current solution is way more elegant and the alternative is more prone to errors. Since it is done via the OS maybe there is an way to change this font via the OS. Don't know the implication for a dark mode #2 and how it would be affected using the new dark mode in .NET 9.
