Feb 6, 2012 at 23:00 comment added Shane Madden @Iain Mind turning it off for the ios tag, too? It means a different thing here than it does on SO.
Feb 6, 2012 at 22:24 comment added the-wabbit Either I am getting colorblind or the code highlighting does not deserve its name - the changes in color nuances on keywords are marginal and hardly distinguishable (at least on my screen). Are there personal settings to change the color scheme for highlighting?

Feb 6, 2012 at 19:40 comment added Bart De Vos Indeed. Manual looks like the best for now. Thanks @KevinMontrose!
Feb 6, 2012 at 19:34 comment added Shane Madden @Iain Yup, and we don't get a lot of Objective-C questions here - a small handful of auto-highlighted tags might make sense (database tags, scripting language tags), but for the most part I think we'll need to stick with manual.
Feb 6, 2012 at 19:31 comment added user9517 Mod @ShaneMadden: That was caused by the iphone tag having default code highlighting.
Feb 6, 2012 at 19:23 comment added Shane Madden Ok, can one of our mods get some serious mass-disable going on the tag set? A ton of these tags are non-applicable, and there's some strange results.

Feb 6, 2012 at 18:43 comment added Kevin Montrose Looks like the consensus is "turn it on", so it's been turned on. Moderators can now configure which tags get syntax highlighting, 74 tags are already configured for it.
