Cant set default text color in Java editor [message #870818] Wed, 09 May 2012 19:00 Go to next message

Using 3.7.2 (Indigo sr 2) on Windows XP.
I'm trying to change my editors to use black backgrounds and white text and am currently interested in changing the Java editor the most. Preferences->General->Appearance->Colors&Fonts doesn't have an option under Basic nor Java to change the foreground font color. Changing colors in Java->Editor->Syntax Coloring doesn't quite do it. I'd expect this last dialog to inherit some default color from Basic or some such but it does not. Needless to say this is quite annoying. I've seen mention on the web of a foreground/font color in the Basic section, but it's not available on my setup. Changing the font brings up a Windows style dialog which allows one to change a color, however, this doesn't take effect.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, r.

Check if 'Preferences->General->Editors->Text Editors->Background color' help you?

Thanks. This is how I set the background to black, but there is no way to set the "default" color of all text to white. I've had to modify every setting in Java syntax coloring to do this. Obviously this is not an ideal solution :-<
