Rich Text Tale Vol1 : Background colors

[blockd]

Townk, if the rest of that post applied to me...

...and fix some missing features on your snippet too, like if you scroll the screen with mouse wheel for exemple, you get an undesired behavior.

What sort of behaviour? It's working OK on my end when I scroll with the mouse wheel. Is it possible to post a screen shot of the issue?

It might require some tweaking (like only updating the effected areas), but if you move the cursor across many lines, then the rectangle doesn't look like it's updated too smoothly. I.e., don't jump across many lines, but go through all intervening lines say with the up arrow key.

By the way are you interted in build some kind of multi platafom Qt IDE?

I've actually been considering that myself, but I don't know how much time I would have for that right now.
