Maya Script Editor syntax coloring

[Anonymous]

The default traffic light colours are a bit harsh on the eyes.

Is it possible to change the syntax colours in Maya's Script Editor?

Say from changing them from the (default) colours (left) to something else (right)

Found it!

Windows > Settings/Preferences > Colour Settings > Script Editor
