OK, so this is in fact two different issues: * bad colors from the scheme * missing FAQ entry to help user customize their color scheme for just a single/simple thing. (I don't even know if this is possible...)
Your question about the color scheme I use made me go look, I use the default one. D'oh ! But with the Preferences/Editor/Display/Invert syntax highlighting color config box checked.
I think that may be the cause of the "Bad color scheme" assumption. And may also explain why my previous attempts a "fixing" the bad color scheme by following the was not successful.
I'll go find a real "dark" color scheme and will disable the "invert highlighting" and get back here.
Thanks for the prod in the right direction.
