QM editor background color

[Rick]

Hi, I apologize if this has been asked and answered previously. I sometimes struggle finding solutions in here. Title says it all. I'd like to stop burning my eyes out by changing the background color of the editor to black. Under Tools, Options, Editor I have many options for fonts etc, but I haven't found the one to change background color. Thank you in advance.

there is no settings you can change to change the background. But it can be done
create a function name it init2(if you don't have one already) and place this code in there.

Function init2

Code:
