Notepad++ changes the color or background color of selected text

The following tutorial column from notepad will introduce to you how to change the color or background color of selected text in Notepad. I hope it will be helpful to friends in need!

Notepad is a text editing tool. I won’t go into details about its advantages. It is small in size and powerful in functions. However, it is not user-friendly enough in terms of interface customization. A few simple settings such as foreground color, background color, font size, etc.

The solution to the problem seems to be very simple. Just change the background color of the selected text and it will be OK. But after searching for a long time, I couldn't find where to change the background color of the selected text in the Notepad settings. The "Settings" -> "Language Format Settings" option is too simple and does not match the powerful functions of Notepad. . It can definitely be changed, it just depends on where. I searched online and found no ready-made solution. Well, in this case, let’s directly change its configuration file.

Notepad configurations are all saved using xml files. The color scheme is saved in stylesrs.xml. This file is located in the root directory of the notepad installation file and is easy to find. Taking Notepad 6.2.3 as an example, open the styles.xml file. Of course, it is no problem to open it with Notepad. Find line 787 and note that there is this content: name="Selected text color", indicating that this line defines the color of the selected text. Continue to look back, bgColor="c0c0c0", the bgColor parameter is the background color of the selected text, just change it to the color you want. The lily sky is changed to bgColor=”000000″. After selection, it becomes completely black. The effect is good. Just change it to be darker than the global background color to distinguish it. This can be changed at will according to your own needs. Note that you must reopen notepad after saving the modifications for the configuration to take effect.

In addition, the following are some definitions of Notepad interface color settings. If you want to make more detailed color customization modifications, you can refer to the following documents.
