> So I first had a look at various properties files to distill global scheme for "style.*.#" and was surprised that there is no such thing. Various properties use same style number for different definitions.

   Each lexer is different, providing whichever styles are sensible for that language.

> Searching more I found about "colour.<definition>" property, which I believed would change above observation, but for some reason it doesn't do anything here. For example I commented styles in Python properties

   With no styles defined for Python, all Python code will appear the same.

>   colour.number=fore:#FF0000
>   colour.keyword=fore:#00FF00
>   colour.string=fore:#0000FF
>   colour.char=fore:#FFFF00
>   colour.operator=fore:#FF00FF

   Without referring to these in lexer-specific style definitions, this will have no effect.

> Lastly is there global setting which can overwrite styles defined in various properties files, with the one I set in my user properties file?

   You can define each specific style in your user properties.
