I hope the question says it all, really. I use the old Turbo Pascal type colours (navy blue background and white, yellow text etc) in all my Delphi IDEs, including D2007. I'm sufficiently colourblind that I can't really make out the red squiggly lines in my code - but I find the feature really useful when I do notice them.

I've tried switching to a much lighter background but it doesn't feel right - I've been using the classic background in Borland/Inprise/Borland/Codegear/Embarcadero products since about '91. :-)

Does anyone know of any slight-of-hand that would get the colour of that red line changed (white or yellow would be great)?

EDIT: Okay, further to this then - although I can't move most of my existing stuff to D2009 just yet, is this an option I CAN set in D2009?

EDIT : Seems like it can't be done, in 2007 or 2009. Let's hope it gets picked up for the next version. Bob S's link to the qc document for it can be used to help persuade Embarcadero - I opened that case last year when I first struggled to find a solution for this. In the interests of marking something as an answer, I'll tick Bob's reply.

In the meantime, I think I'm going to have to change my background colour to something that I can see the red against. Oh well. :-)

Thanks - but that QC entry was made by ME, last year, when I first started using D2007 and found this to be a problem. :-)Good to see it's still 'on the books' somewhere, though.
