Custom colors on text editor

[geraudmazieres8780]

Hello I have custom my Autocad LT 2020 for my eyes by choosing dark colors in background. I have some text in dark colors too, and whan i want to edit the text  that what i can see. It impossible for me to modify the text because i can't see what i'm doing. Is there any kind of possibilities to change the background color of text editor. Thank you for all.

There is no ability to set the MTEXT background color in the program: but you can tweak/adjust the color of your modelspace background to be more than just solid black to help you visualize your dark text better.

Hello  @geraudmazieres8780, 

You can make these changes by opening or typing the Options dialog window. You have the option to change the 2D Modelspace - Uniform Background it will also change the Text Editor dialog window. 

This example shows how changing it to gray changed the text editor.

The only way I know of would be to temporarily apply a text background mask, which you would then have to turn off again (unless you want to make the text always readable). In the classic text editor you can find the background mask option by clicking on the more options arrow at the top right of the text editor dialogue. It opens up a separate dialogue with various options for the mask. You can also find it within the properties palette when mtext is selected. On the ribbon it is under the styles tab.
