Hello,

This is a fantastic pyeditor! Though my contrast preferences are quite
extreme, so I was wondering if there was a way to edit the colors of
the console box, the window borders, and pretty much anything else
outside the text editor portion? If not, it's cool.

Thanks a ton for an awesome editor.

Editor color settings can be changed from
Tools>Preferences>Syntax Coloring>custom (color scheme)

Thanks Adeel. That controls the colors of the Editor. For the Console,
you need to go to

Tools > Preferences > Display > Background color

And there you have to deactivate the option called

Light background (white color)

For the console we only have two options: light and dark background. We
don't provide options to change the colors of window borders or anything
else, But I understand you can use Qt Style Sheets (qss) files to modify
the appearance of any qt application. I've never used them but seem to
work like css files. Check out this link for further info:

Cheers,
Carlos

So where would I find the files that contain the element names? So that I can try to style it. Sorry, I'm very new to Qt, but this would be exactly what I would love to do.

I'm so confused... I really want to edit the rest of spyder's ( which I now know is _not_ just an editor, its a full-on IDE ) widgets like console, variable explorer, code completion window, etc. I am infatuated with the 'zenburn' look, as you can see in my editor. http://www.tsarj.com/images/spyder_sample.jpg I changed the history log and object inspector to my Custom style, so those are good. I just want console, variable explorer, and the code completion/calltips to use my style. 

So what I'm asking is: what can I edit to accomplish this? I know editor.py is huge, and _might_ be able to do what I want it to, if I knew what to add. Any hints?

On a side note, anyone know how to get rid of the vertical line in the history widget?

How do you changed the history log and object inspector aspect? Could you post an image? (By the way, link you posted gave me a 403 forbidden error).

Sorry. Was testing something at work, so restricted based on IP. It's good now. The history log view is at http://www.tsarj.com/images/spyder_history.jpg I changed it by the History Log under preferences, switching it to Custom Syntax color scheme.
