Request for option to change colors of Editor

[gbourque]

I like using the Slate Gray color theme. But when I use it, the colors of the Ninjascript editor make it hard for me to use. For one, the setting does not change the background of the editor to Slate Gray--it changes it to Black. This make it hard for me to read. The red squiggle that marks errors fades into the background. And the color shades for numbers, strings and comments don't stand out either.

Can you add a feature that allows changing the colors in the editor, Or tell me another way to this?

Hello gbourque,

Thank you for reaching out.

It is possible to create/edit skins. Skins use XAML resource files that include hex codes for each color used and these XAML files can be found in the Documents\NinjaTrader 8\templates\Skins folder. BluePrint.xaml has most of the skin resources.

You can copy an existing skin folder to create your own skin that will not be changed with updates to the platform.

We look forward to assisting.

I see. The editor settings are in BluePrint.xaml.

Hello gbourque,

Yes, the NinjaScriptEditorBackground is the likely key you are looking for and this is in the BluePrint.xaml file.
