Having user-configurable syntax highlighting colors to FME’s syntax highlighting (Python, SQL, Expression Editor), similar to how Visual Studio Code handles token-based color customization would be a nice addition.

I find some of the default colors for JSON syntax highlighting to be difficult to read, so it would be great if there were some customizations for this.

Hi ​@warrendev, this is a good idea! We’re looking into some general usability updates that we can make to the Text Editor and I will keep this mind. 

Thank you for sharing!
