color-for-external-allegro-symbols

Arguments: cg-configuration

Returns the color that is used by colorize-source-code for symbols that are external in Allegro packages other than the common-lisp, cg, and ide packages, or nil to avoid colorizing these symbols at all. This color may be useful for warning when you have mistyped an Allegro symbol, or to remind you that a particular function is built into Allegro rather than being defined by your application.

The colorization is based only on the symbol's package and external status, and will occur even where the symbol is not being used as the function or variable for which it is exported.

The value may be set by calling (setf color-for-external-allegro-symbols). The value should be an RGB color, as created with make-rgb, or nil. This option also appears on the Editor Color tab on the Options dialog.

Example

(setf (color-for-external-allegro-symbols (configuration *system*))
      (make-rgb :red 0 :green 120 :blue 160))
