CodeBlocks IDE

I feel CodeBlocks is one of the best IDE's out there for beginners.

Tho what annoys me is, that I don't seem to be able to change the background color to lets say "black font". Thing is, I've seen other compilers are able to change background color when writing code?!

I want to change the background color so it isn't so bright and hard for my eyes to look at code.

I would try using NetBeans or Sublime Text 2. SL2 isn't an IDE, but I think you'll like it like me. I'm actually looking for darker lexers for Code::Blocks like Sublime Text 2's default is. I'll let you know if I find one.
code::blocks, from the menu choose settings->editor then click syntax highlighting.
In my version, there was only the default theme available, but I changed the colours and saved that as a new theme.

In fact it's not the lack of flexibility which bothered me, rather there are so many options that I've not had time to explore them all.
Thanks for this. Tho now, I can't see where I am writing? How do I change the colour of that?
Did you accidentally change every color to the same color?
