No, you have to customize the preference page yourself.

Need professional support for Xtext, EMF, Eclipse IDE?

Thanks for your answer Razz

I have already customized this preference page with embedded editor. But there is a refreshing problem about the hightlighting of the embedded editor. It was refreshed only by clicking the "Apply" button.
I hope to refresh the embedded editor after clicking the buttons of the FieldEditors, e.g. Color, Font buttons.

I think that embedded editor refreshs it highlightings by listening to the changes of preference store which is shared with all editors. How can I customize embedded editor with a seperate preference store? Is the class "HighlightingHelper.java" right way?

EmbeddedEditorFactory has an HighlightingHelper has a TextAttributeProvider/PreferenceStoreAccessor injected

org.eclipse.xtext.ui.editor.syntaxcoloring.HighlightingHelper.install(XtextSourceViewerConfiguration, XtextSourceViewer)
