Attached an illustration of both editors (I know of). Excuse my beautifully drawn arrows using mspaint and a touchpad
Should make answering Chris's question easier. I'll throw in a suggestion while I'm here. You could always edit the settings file directly:
New Editor is [etc]\editor\editor.ini. Default colours should be these, I think:
; Colours
ColourStandardText=0,0,0
ColourKeyword=0,0,255
ColourString=139,0,0
ColourComment=0,100,0
ColourSymbol=150,58,70
ColourBackground=255,255,255
ColourFunction=0,0,255
ColourType=0,0,255
ColourVariable=0,0,0
The old one's stored in [etc]\Editor\frontend\IDEprefs.cfg. Dunno the original colours as I was going through a "phase" when I set mine but here's the set:
edit_font_name=Courier New
edit_font_size=10
edit_font_color=0
edit_font_backcolor=14340815
edit_font_style=*
edit_keyword_color=16711680
edit_keyword_backcolor=14340815
edit_keyword_style=B
edit_number_color=0
edit_number_backcolor=14340815
edit_number_style=*
edit_string_color=8388736
edit_string_backcolor=14340815
edit_string_style=*
edit_comment_color=32768
edit_comment_backcolor=14340815
edit_comment_style=*
You need to search for it for the new editor as the config file's quite large. I dunno why this happened or if this'll fix the problem (it could be something internal) so it's just my two cents worth.
