Changing font color in Visual Studio 2010 at 72

Question

I would like to change the font color at 72-column width in Visual Studio 2010. All options I see have it changing at 80. I am aware of the guide-lines option but I'd prefer to change the font color.

Any pointers are very much appreciated.

Thanks, -Sachin

Answer 1

The default in Intel Visual Fortran is to change the color at column 72. You didn't say whose Fortran you are using (I know of three that support VS2010.)

If you set the project property Language > Fixed form line length to 80, then it will change at 80 (you have to close and reopen the file to see this.)
