Notepad++ change text color?

235k Views Asked by At

I'm using Notepad++ to mock up ISPF screens. I've used StyleConfigurator to select an appropriate font, colored it green, and set a black background.

How do I permanently change the color of selected text?

E.g., if I have CUSTOMER NAME: THALECRESS, how do I make CUSTOMER NAME: blue while leaving THALECRESS green?

You can Change it from:

Menu Settings -> Style Configurator

A little late reply, but what I found in Notepad++ v7.8.6 is, on RMB (Right Mouse Button), on selection text, it gives an option called "Style token" where it shows "Using 1st/2nd/3rd/4th/5th style" to highlight the selected text in different pre-defined colors

You can use the "User-Defined Language" option available at the notepad++. You do not need to do the xml-based hacks, where the formatting would be available only in the searched window, with the formatting rules.
