Thanks.

I am aware of that: http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=27829

I am fairly handy at mucking around with (and mucking up) components of the IDE.

However there are lots of end-users, and lots more potential end-users (especially if I get my wicked way and get my book out to push Livecode as an authoring environment for teachers) who either don't know how to do that sort of thing, or don't have the time and/or motivation to learn that. For them a settings pane in the IDE Preferences would be very good indeed.

Richmond.. Short term you can do this..

set the textsize of field "message" of card "single line" of stack "message
box" to 18
set the textsize of field "results" of card "single line" of stack "message
box" to 18
set the textsize of field "message" of card "multiple lines" of stack
"message box" to 18
set the textsize of field "results" of card "multiple lines" of stack
"message box" to 18

Makes it considerably easier for my aging eyes to see.

I am not sure if this is the expected behavior (i.e. to first open the
Script Editor so as to get the msg box text colorized), so I filed a bug
to
investigate this further.

Yes; you are quite right.
I opened the scriptEditor and then the messageBox.

It might not be a bad idea to put that into the documentation.

Thank you, Richmond.

At the risk of sounding very stupid indeed . . .

I installed 8.1.0 rc 1 and typed this into the Message Box:

put 5 into AA
add 1 to AA
put AA

and saw no colourisation at all. What did I do wrong?

Xubuntu 16.04 64-bit.

Nice to hear that, Mike. The 8.1 RC1 release is great IMO, because
apart

from 80+ bug fixes,  it contains a lot of enhancement requests,
including
keyboard navigation in the Project Browser, script colorization in the
msg
box and some more:

There are several nifty things in here.

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
       and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
