I have downloaded the latest Notepad++ and ConTeXt settings as suggested by Professor Hamid and I'm enjoying the experience of using them!
However, I do not really like the colour scheme and tried to alter the background colours by editing "Application Data/Notepad++/UserDefineLang.xml", shutting down Notepad++ and starting up again (via Npp.bat), but no change. I also tried editing the "tex" entry in "Application Data/Notepad++/stylers.xml", but no joy. I tried going to menu item Settings - Style Configurator, but Context isn't in the list of languages.
How can I alter the default colour settings for ConTeXt, please?

You might have more luck with Vim/Gvim which has an open-ended syntax highlighting scheme with almost 500 files named e.g., cobol.vim in the subdirectory syntax. It will do automatic sensing by suffix but you can manually select one too. It even has one for Context. You can modify the syntax files if you like or create new ones but either task looks like an all-day project to me. -- John Culleton Resources for every author and publisher: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf http://www.creativemindspress.com/newbiefaq.htm http://www.gropenassoc.com/TopLevelPages/reference%20desk.htm
