Does anyone have a default.clr file that works for programming into the wee hours? I'm finding f.lux and the lowest brightness on my monitor just isn't helping me be productive lately.

Tempted to suggest a Bogart Martini...  but my experience with night hawk coding involves a black background in the editor with optional highlighting. I don't believe WB Studio offers a background option as do VS or Python editors. Hopefully you get the .clr you seek.

Actually, WinBatch Studio does offer a background option.   Go to View->Options... Then select the File types tab.  On the File types property page select Syntax coloring...  On the Syntax Coloring for <your file type> dialog click the Change... button next to the Background text. Pick your color and then click Ok and Apply.  You can also change the color of syntax elements in the Syntax Coloring for <your file type> dialog.

Had a feeling I would stand corrected :o  - it is a handy feature, and if I stand as the only member who didn't know that it is time for a Martini.

Here are the colors I like to use that I find easy on the eyes.
