[Mac OS X TeX] Re: colourful syntax

[Michel Durinx]

<x-flowed>> I am not sure what the defaults are!
To find out what the value is for the nine colour variables: write in 
the terminal

defaults read texshop markerred

etc etc.  I do not know what the original ones are as I keep changing 
them.
When upgrading (v.1.11 to 1.12), the coloursettings are not reset to 
their defaults,
so I have no idea what they were. Someone who didn't fiddle with them 
can tell.
And indeed, I also objected to the painful green.
For printing the source code on a black and white laserjet, I use

defaults write TeXShop commentred 1.0
defaults write TeXShop commentblue 0.0
defaults write TeXShop commentgreen 0.5
defaults write TeXShop commandred 0.5
defaults write TeXShop commandblue 0.8
defaults write TeXShop commandgreen 0.0
defaults write TeXShop markerred 0.5
defaults write TeXShop markerblue 0.8
defaults write TeXShop markergreen 0.0

(yes-- same colour for curly brackets as for commands; but only when 
printing!)
You can cut and paste the block in one go.
Any better proposals than those?
And for the colourblind?

All the best,
Michel
