The reason it “imposed a green color” (or rather, that your Global Override settings didn’t impose a black color on syntax-highlighted text) is because you didn’t enable the Global Override on foreground and background color as well.

For example, the second screenshot you posted proved you didn’t understand even my first paragraph, which only mentioned the Style Configurator dialog, not the Preferences dialog.įurther, I cannot imagine why you want to pick Notepad++ as your text editor, then disable one of its core features (syntax highlighting, where comments are different color from keywords are different color from known constants or functions are a different color from identifiers are a different color from …).īut if you want to take an awesome took like Notepad++, and make it effectively equivalent to the Win11 tabbed notepad.exe but with a better search engine – fine, I’ll tell you how to ruin Notepad++.

I’m not convinced you actually read my post, or the link I sent you to.
