- ohh, you were looking at the snowy Christmas theme, right? Yeah, that one was not too lucky, but over time there were MANY themes a lot worse!  ;D

The one I am using  is now default theme and is looking quite good:

Ken,

If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like you are looking for "One Editor to Rule them All". If that is the case, you will run into a problem. Most editors are built with a focus. So an editor that would handle RTF would have a UI that caters to formating, the shortcut keys would be mapped to formatting, etc. But an editor that would handle BAT or INI files would be concerned not with formatting, but with manipulation of unformatted text. So shortcut keys would be mapped to things like cut and past or switch to ALL CAPS. Now the latter very well may have syntax highlighting, but not formatting.

You can think of it as Wordpad (RTF) vs. Notepad (TXT). I tend to use Open Office for RTF and Notepad++ for sourcecode or generic text.

there was a similar thread just like this recently and i suggested Atlantis Nova..

a free version of Atlantis Nova would do the trick.. you have to google for it though as the developers no longer keep the free version on their website..

I thought that something about Ultra-Pad rang a bell...  It seems that Michael J. Hardy has a less than stellar reputation among several freeware/open source authors:

I'm not sure if Ultra-Pad falls in that camp, but I'm not given a warm, fuzzy feeling.
