Thanks Kevin for your remarks. They made me realize that we need to improve how we present syntax highlighting options to our users.

About the option for the Object Inspector: it only applies when you are trying to view the source of an object in this plugin, not for its documentation, so I think we can eliminate it to avoid confusions.

Cheers,
Carlos

In addition, the object Inspector does not seem to allow changes to the color scheme when rich text mode is enabled. The changelog indicates that this issue was fixed with 2.2.1, but with 2.2.5, rich text causes a white background to be displayed regardless of color scheme.

    I found the source of the problem:
    The ability to change the editor color scheme is not in

        tools>preferences>syntax coloring

    as has been stated in several posts on the subject, but rather in

        tools>preferences>Editor

    where a drop-down menu at the bottom of the pane marked "Syntax
    color scheme:" allows you to change the color scheme.
    The syntax coloring pane allows you to change the composition of
    the color schemes, but does not allow you to apply it.
    From the perspective of a non-power-user, this is a bit confusing.

        I think I have to disagree.
        I am experiencing the same issue with Spyder 2.2.5 as part of
        the winPython package.
        I can change the editor color scheme by manually editing the
        .ini file at

            C:\Program
            
Files\winPython\WinPython-64bit-2.7.5.2\settings\.spyder2\.spyder.ini

         to change the color_scheme_name field to match the color
        theme I'd like to use.
        However, the preferences pane allows no control over switching.
        Since changing this file updates the color scheme, is it
        possible that the preferences pane is not being passed the
        correct path to which to save the settings?

            This is not our fault, that option is working perfectly
            fine in any operating system I tested it.

            What is your Anaconda version? If it is less than 1.7 you
            really have to update it. You can do it by running these
            commands in a terminal:

            conda update conda
            conda update anaconda

            Windows, when I change it in the settings by picking say
            "emacs" the "apply" button doesn't become active even,
            just can't do anything, click OK and it stays exactly the
            same with white theme. Why bother having the menu options
            to change it if it doesn't respond? Haven't touched
            anything, just completely standard install of Spyder via
            the Anaconda Distribution.

            Thanks!
