Status: UNCONFIRMED

Video showing how the Color Scheme switcher works
Modern IDEs offer the possibility of quickly switching the color scheme of the
code editor. I believe we should have this in the Basic IDE as well.
Currently we can configure Basic colors in Tools - Options - Application
Colors, which is OK and offers some flexibility to the user.
However, this has the disadvantage of changing color settings for the entire
application. Also, if the user wants to quickly switch the color scheme in the
Basic IDE, it is currently not possible. And modifying the existing Application
Colors scheme via the Options dialog is tedious.
Therefore a quick color scheme switcher would come in handy.
I have a WIP patch with a proposal. I've attached a video of how it works.
Here's a description of how it works:
1) If the user chooses "Use Application Colors", the IDE will use the colors
defined by the currently selected scheme in the Tools - Options dialog
2) If the user chooses "Choose Color Scheme", then they'll be able to choose
among the available color schemes, which are instantly applied to the editor
When a color scheme is selected, it overrides the settings in Tools - Options
(these options are not overwritten). So if the user simply wants to revert to
the default colors, they simply need to choose the option "Use Application
Colors".
