In the IDE you can customize the highlighting scheme used for different language bindings. The UI for doing this can be found in `Options-->Text Editor-->Highlighting` and it looks like this: ![image](https://clarionhub-uploads.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com/original/1X/3cdddbec277cda9f0f9a1767231abe4b46590998.png) You can have one custom scheme per language binding. When you first create them they are saved to `%appdata%\SoftVelocity\Clarion\10.0\modes` or, if you are starting your IDE with the /configdir switch then you should know where to locate that same `modes` folder! If you have one you would like to share please reply to this topic and attach it! (or create a GIST or whatever your preferred code sharing method it of course). ---

Here is my attempt at a dark scheme: > and it looks a little something like this: ![image](https://clarionhub-uploads.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com/original/1X/addc8dcdf67d515b5bfda32baf1a5924b0889545.png) ---

Here is some ‘old’ looking DOS theme. Just change extension to .xshd! [DOS.clw](https://clarionhub-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com/original/1X/4dd7afe200d4faa7cabae28cce5de03671a8d4a7.clw) (13.9 KB) ---

I had to change the name inside the xshd also before the IDE would use this for Clarion files. Here is is uploaded to a GIST: > And a screenshot! ![image](https://clarionhub-uploads.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com/original/1X/483e25b2f8d37637be95f7414854c26b5d1508a5.png) Very old school nice one @Dragomir_Tepsic😃 ---

Possibly other I can’t remember now. 😄 ---
