>I don't know about everyone else, but I don't settle with the default coloring. I set a color for operands, strings and literals. Making operands red helps me enormously. And now with 7.0, it's awesome the way the editor hightlights the text when you enter the closing parenthesis. That help a ton.
My comments have a light-blue, and strings bright yellow bacground - the latter helps another ton, because any mismatched quotes show up immediately.
