Notepad++ Compare plugin colour settings for any dark mode style (e.g. obsidian)

Here are a set of colours which work well with the Notepad++ Compare plugin for any dark mode style used within Notepad++. I personally prefer to use the style Obsidian.

Change each of the compare colour settings to the following: R-G-B

i.e. In notepad++, go to "Plugins > Compare > Settings" and change the following using the provided RGB values:
  • Added new line = 0-100-0 (dark green)
  • Deleted line = 100-0-0 (dark red)
  • Moved line = 0-60-119 (darkish blue)
  • Changed line = 125-125-30 (dark gold)
  • Changed highlight = 255-140-0 (dark orange)
  • Highlight Transparency = 100

Logitech G29 Pedal Replacement Screws (screw measurements + where to buy)

Recently my Logitech G29 pedal screws needed replacing (inc. potentiometers). I could not find the screw sizes anywhere online so with aid from a friend and some calipers I measured them myself.

1) Brake and Clutch pedal screws:
Length = 30mm
Diameter = 4mm (known as M4)
Thread Pitch = 0.7mm (really hard to measure this)

2) Accelerator pedal screws:
Length = 16.5mm (you can get away with using a 16mm)
Diameter = 4mm
Thread Pitch = 0.7mm

Best place to buy them In the UK:

Make sure to select "metric socket countersunk screws" and then use their filter system to select the above measurements for the screws you need to replace :)
