      I suppose you ask this because you want the whole user interface to look like your used theme, correct?
      In this case the answer is that you can’t achieve this with some npp configuration settings.
      What you can do depends on which operating system is used and/or
      how deep you want to dive into win api to program it yourself.

            On windows7, you can, more or less, just go to the pain to
            hook the different notepad++ message queues and color the
            different controls yourself.

                Do you know how to program in C/C++?
                Or a language which is fast enough to make those calls, like for example rust?

                        :-D not a problem at all, I’m not English/American as well.

                        The easiest method, to my knowledge, is to create a notepad++ plugin
                        and then to do what is described here.
                        But just for the record, this isn’t as easy as it sounds to get everything right.

                            Unfortunately not, as I’m not a C/C++ programmer.
                            I tried this with python and at some point I had to accept that
                            pythonscript (the plugin) and python isn’t fast enough for such a task.
                            Sorry.

                              Ohh, well, I’ll try to do it myself, or ask someone who knows c++

                                    ok :-) Impressive if you already start programming.
                                    At that age, I was just interested in soccer. :-)
