Better handling of colours (and font and font size) in inline tags of RegEx v 1.0.0.0-based file types:

*

There are two confusing inconsistencies with such inline tags:

1)  If you defined a regex tag pair and set it to be excluded from translation, the colour (and font/font size) are not used but the text within the tag pai is just greyed out. These options should either be greyed out or - better - obeyed even for non-translated tag pair content: If one doesn't want this tag pair content coloured he/she should just don't set any colours. But to beter find and locate such tag pairs colour would in fact be really helpful. That tag pair content is excluded from translation does not mean it is less important!

2) The usage of colour even for such tag pairs would be conistent with the advanced filter, because if you use the advanced filter to filter by colour, you can filter the non-translatable text by colour even if the colour is not shown in the segment. That is really confusing. Either there is colour – than display it. Or it is not – then ignore it.

So solve this inconsistency (which for me would be a bug if encountered in my own programs) to just display the colour would be probably the programmatically easier solution.
