This are only colorsettings and can be overritten be the user

I don't know what you mean

Just open a Smalltalk file in codeblocks, the colorscheme is completly 
different

What is codeblocks-style? Smalltalk,C++,Ruby,ASM ... ??
They all have different colorschemes!

OK, the backgroundcolor was badly choosen.

There is already a d-lexer in the scintilla and codeblocks project
This is what I use!

I tested with Wn32/DMD2 and it works just fine.
There are 3 different compiler for D
- Digital Mars D1 compiler
- Digital Mars D2 compiler
- GDC D Compiler

You should see all 3 compiler or your compilation failed.
