as far as i can tell, no it does not. it only desaturates 00 in particular. the other colors you see in the screenshots come from matched formats/patterns. it does not do direct coloring based on byte value.

Under the Edit menu select "Highlighting Rules..." and you can define or load any set of rules you can imagine.

Thanks!

How many rules would it take to create 256 different colors for 00..FF?


pretty sure 486 support only _just_ got disabled, and will be gone with 7.1: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-7.1-Phasing-Out-i486

headlines often trade legibility for terseness, sometimes a bit too much though :)

KDE still has them: Settings -> Window Management -> Desktop Effects -> Wobbly Windows


you can also just uninstall the "new" notepad, at which point Windows will let you run the old one again (which is still shipped!).

By using a version that is _that_ old you do lose out on some of the actually useful updates legacy nodepad received, such as LF line ending support.


What? Did they accidentally revert the improvements they already made to previously shipped versions of the old notepad program?


I think it's in reference to using Win9x notepad.exe as opposed to somewhere in the Win7-10 timeframe before they went over the top in Win11.


Ah, yes, I misread it as the newer versions shipping an older notepad.

not even opposite, as mentioned in my comment it does have Initiator Mode, allowing it to act as a host


If the reason to connect them is to dump them, something like https://bluescsi.com/ in Initiator Mode might work: https://bluescsi.com/docs/Initiator-Mode


Than you, will look... I had been vaguely aware of it before but will look more seriously.


For a quick fix: `font-variant-ligatures: none;` on body or similar.


For users: paste the following in console

  document.body.style.setProperty('font-variant-ligatures','none','important');


I use NoScript and only got them after enabling JS for the blog page


I have this as !important in a global userStyle for code, pre, kbd, samp elements.
