Arduino Library Issue?? Help needed please.

Using Arduino Programming Questions

I have added a new library to the correct user path C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\Arduino\libraries and it shows up in the list in the Arduino IDE when I go to import library. However, I am not sure if it is working correctly since it doesn't get highlighted red (xxxx.h) like the other imported libraries in my sketch. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I have done numerous web searches for this issue but can't seem to resolve my issue. The compiler has lots of issues, so I am thinking the library has not been loaded properly?

Problem solved. I had a bad file and reloading it took care of the problem.

Colouring keywords is a feature of little or no use in practice. The colours to be used and the associated keywords are in a file called keywords.txt in the library folder. The library will work without the feature if the file is missing. Look at the keywords.txt file for other libraries to see how it is laid out and add one yourself if you think it would help.

What other issues do you have with the library ? Deleting it and start again would be an option.
