How to Change Code Editor Colors in Dreamweaver
Ever wanted to customize the colors in your Dreamweaver Code editor? Well you can!!
You can grab a pre-made xml file and replace Dreamweaver's default, or you can edit each individual preference.
- To edit the preferences, click Ctrl-U and Select the "Code Coloring" tab.
- Or you can replace the colors.xml file with one you download from the web. On Windows 7 the colors.xml file is found under OS Hard Drive >> Users >> [yourusername] >> Application Data >> Adobe >> Dreamweaver >> Configuration >> CodeColoring.
* Tip, in a file explorer window type '%appdata%' and it will find the directory for you!
