Textreme 2

i plan to use it for my college thesis

This is pretty sick, one feature that would make this amazing is if it let you save the text as a looping gif of the text that fits on the screen, maybe even with toggle-able transparency for the background to be able to use it in games or other projects, other than that its still pretty cool to play around with, wouldn't use it as a serious noting text editor

It's okay, though I wouldn't recommend using this full-time as I was planning on doing. First issue: With the way the color and styling is done in plaintext, files can get messed up if you do certain things, here's an example: I usually write plaintext lists like this: - List Item #1 - List Item #2 - List Item #3 - List Item #4 - List Item #5 But sometimes I write them like this: * List Item #1 * List Item #2 * List Item #3 * List Item #4 * List Item #5 Nested I write like this: - List Item #1 -| List Item #1 child - List Item #3 -| List Item #3 child --| List Item #3 child child All of these don't work well with the parser and it's a very odd issue, to be honest I'd rather use a .TXTR file or something similar if it means I would have the effects without affecting the readability of my text documents. I'd be fine if the software had something akin to BBCODE where it had a stop and start point that the parser reads for. But it does not, for this reason I cannot use the software in the way I intended to use it. Second problem for me is the lack of customization, I cannot change the color palette for the program nor can I add syntax highlighting like the previous TEXTREME product. The Symbols pane is nice but it doesn't give me as much freedom as I was expecting, something akin to a vertical Minecraft creative menu bar. With all unicode sets with a clear icon for each. Third problem is the sliders, they're great but there is no way to just manually input a number, for instance I had my jerk at 101% and couldnt get it back to 100% without turning my mouse sensitivity to the lowest point it can go. Fourth is no features most text editors have, no find and replace, no syntax files, no syntax selection, etc. If notepad has more features than your editor, but not as much "juice" you're doing something wrong. Fifth ties back into the color palette thing I can't really change the colors of the characters, though my favorite was the bell. Sixth is for me, it gets really slow after having it open for too long, I'm wondering if it's just poor optimization on the engine's end or the developer's. Well, I'm done with my review for this product, it's a shame, as I was really hoping this would be a direct improvement over the original, it is don't get me wrong but both have issues and I'll have to look elsewhere for a interactive text editor. Thank you for reading.
