Treehouse Editor Colors

Is it just me, or are the colors on the editor hard to see? Main code is OK, but to read comments, I really have to strain. I'd like to suggest either a light skin option, where we could change to white background, dark code, or to just up the font colors a little bit. Not much, but just a little brighter would be helpful. Unless I am the only one who thinks this, then forget it, and I will see about a stronger glasses prescription :P

Thanks!

I would LOVE to see a dark theme on the workspaces. I absolutely hate a light background. :(

I don't really wear glasses (I have one eye perfect another eye 7/10 good) and I can see the comments fine.

However, with my bad eye I barely can see the comments (with glasses OFF). And you aren't alone since I've seen other people arguing about this exact same thing.

I kind of agree... :)

Hey Colby and Alexander!

We appreciate the feedback about this! At this time, there isn't an option to change the color settings, but we could recommend trying to adjust the brightness and/or contrast of your screen to see if that may help. We'll be sure to pass this along to our design team as well for consideration.

Thanks! -Kara
