Russ,

Ah another developer that has seen the light. *bg*

You have to first set the default color of the editor to have a black background color and then set all the other items to be some forecolor on the default backcolor.

Here's a dump of my reg settings that you could apply if you want:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualFoxPro\8.0\Options]
"TraceNormalColor"="RGB(0,0,0,255,255,255), Auto, Auto"
"TraceExecutingColor"="RGB(255,255,0,0,0,0), NoAuto, Auto"
"TraceCallstackColor"="RGB(0,0,0,212,208,200), Auto, Auto"
"TraceBreakpointColor"="RGB(255,0,0,0,0,0), NoAuto, Auto"
"TraceSelectedColor"="RGB(255,255,255,0,0,0), Auto, Auto"
"WatchNormalColor"="RGB(0,0,0,255,255,255), Auto, Auto"
"WatchSelectedColor"="RGB(255,255,255,0,0,0), Auto, Auto"
"WatchChangedColor"="RGB(255,0,0,255,255,255), NoAuto, Auto"
"LocalsNormalColor"="RGB(0,0,0,255,255,255), Auto, Auto"
"LocalsSelectedColor"="RGB(255,255,255,0,0,0), Auto, Auto"
"OutputNormalColor"="RGB(0,0,0,255,255,255), Auto, Auto"
"OutputSelectedColor"="RGB(255,255,255,0,0,0), Auto, Auto"
"CallstackNormalColor"="RGB(0,0,0,255,255,255), Auto, Auto"
"CallstackSelectedColor"="RGB(255,255,255,0,0,0), Auto, Auto"
"BookmarkColor"="RGB(0,255,255,0,0,0), NoAuto, Auto"
"ShortcutColor"="RGB(0,0,255,0,0,0), NoAuto, Auto"
"EditorCommentColor"="RGB(255,255,0,255,255,255), NoAuto, Auto"
"EditorKeywordColor"="RGB(255,255,255,255,255,255), NoAuto, Auto"
"EditorConstantColor"="RGB(0,255,255,255,255,255), NoAuto, Auto"
"EditorNormalColor"="RGB(0,255,255,0,0,0), NoAuto, NoAuto"
"EditorOperatorColor"="RGB(255,255,255,255,255,255), NoAuto, Auto"
"EditorStringColor"="RGB(0,255,0,255,255,255), NoAuto, Auto"
"EditorVariableColor"="RGB(0,255,255,255,255,255), NoAuto, Auto"

>I have become partial to an editor that allows me to put green text on a black background. Was hoping I could set up the VFP IDE to be the same, but the only way I have been able to figure out to do it is to set the windows colors, which mucks with many other things.
