Hello,
Is it possible to import additional syntax highlighting color shemes? If so, does anyone have additional schemes saved other than the supplied defaults?
None of the defaults seem very workable for me. (Sorry, old geezer eyes.) I recently saw a website that compared a number of editors. One of the editors featured was ZeusEdit. The displayed screen shot showed a nice gray background with syntax highlighting. This neutral gray background seemed easier to read than either white or black.
I can always recreate the scheme, but if it is already available, I won't spend time reinventing the wheel.
Thanks.

Syntax Highlighting Color Schemes
This reminds me of a time when I was working on an rather obscure Zeus painting bug.None of the defaults seem very workable for me. (Sorry, old geezer eyes.)
I had a user send me his document type settings and when I opened his sample file, I was blown away with the psychedelic color scheme he had created. It was a black background with a full rainbow of fluorescent foreground colors

For what it is worth, in the next release most of the document types have there colors reset to the more common (almost standard) white background. Here are the new color files for that release:

Of these .col files most will not have changed, other than the white and the Java color schemes.

I would just like to make a plea that in the new colour schemes, the default background colour should be whatever the user has set as the window background colour. This is often, but not always, white. This just seems like a courtesy to me, it honours the user's global windows preferences.
Best,
Tony

Unfortunately in practical terms I don't think this is possible 
Consider for example, a modified white color scheme where the background color is set to windows background color, normal text is gray and keywords are blue.
For this color scheme a user with a white windows background will see their colors just fine (and as designed), but a user with a gray windows background will have their normal text disappear and a user with a blue windows background will have their keywords text will disappear.
Add to this the fact there are not just 3 color settings but more like 24 color settings and multiple color schemes in the Zeus color setup and you a much greater chance of these types of color conflicts.
