Re: Minimap test request

Hi

   Forgive my bad english, i read out the char color info block by block, not by every single char. Let me figure out the highlight occurrence, thanks
from Peter

Not sure why you are taking the color char by char I believe the API
provides bigger tokens which you could merge internally into a (color)
matrix. You might slow things down by going 1 char at a time.

Bookmarks shouldn't be hard, we have an API for that.

Highlight occurrence might be a bit more tricky. I can't remember if
we have a separate layer there.

Anyhow, very nice feature!

Also try to detect if we are under a "dark" theme. A lot of people are
using the Darcula LnF and you want your code map to fit in nicely.
