[TxMt] Background/foreground colors

[Raymond Brigleb]

Greetings!

I'm trying to change the background/foreground colors, which only seems 
to work on documents w/out syntax highlighting. I set my background to 
black, but when I open a PHP file it has a white background. I set my 
background to white, but when I open a Ruby file it shows up black. Is 
this deliberate? Do I have to learn how to rewrite the syntax rules to 
make this change? Frankly, it seems quite counter-intuitive. Why offer 
that option if it usually doesn't even work?

If there is a simple answer, can someone direct me to it? I would be 
ever so grateful.

Also, is there a manual for this software? Between the mailing list, 
the startup tips, the newsgroup, the wiki, and the blog, I'm near my 
wit's end. I do like this program, but I assumed that it would come 
with documentation!!! Frankly, using this feels more like a scavenger 
hunt, not exactly par for commercial software.

Please don't take me wrong, I'm just a little frustrated.

Regards,
Raymond
