Syntax Highlighting Not Working At All
-
I have a question so general that I don’t appear to be able to find an answer on Google.
Every document I open in Notepad++ has the same colour scheme. This is two colours only, yellow on black, a favourite of mine, so I am guessing I must have set this myself somewhere and accidentally set it to be applied to every single language.
Can someone please point me at where I may have done this, 'cos my memory is failing me…again?

You probably went to Settings > Style Configurator > Default Styles > Global Override and did one or more of ☑ Enable global foreground colour, ☑ Enable global background colour, and maybe some of the other Enables on that tab as well.
Turn those off, then read the User Manual section “Global Styles” to learn about the difference between Global Override and Default Style, and why use of Global Override should be rare.
(It doesn’t help that the default Style selection in the Style Configurator is the Global Override, which tricks users into thinking that it’s the best solution to changing the default color.)
