Hello dear traders and EA developers, it's Besso and today we're going to solve an issue many MQL programmers are stuck with: Metaeditor has no ready-to-use color templates or themes and it's really hard to watch the white screen all day and particularly during nights. Wouldn't it be nice to have a calm classy style which doesn't make you tired even when it's dark around you?  Personally I was never able to program on a white glowing screen for a long period of time and therefore I was often changing Metaeditor backgrounds to darker colors, like grey but even then I was limited to relatively lighter colors not to make default text/content difficult to read. One day I decided to really give it a go and changed every single color from options, over the next few days, when I was working during nights, I fine-tuned them to make easier to look and I think it's a lot nicer now, doesn't distract me and often I write the code till 4-5 am. You don't have to change each color separately, of course, here you can copy this text

[Colors]

Color0=2302755

Color1=755384

Color2=14599344

Color3=16750899

Color4=11119017

Color5=3329434

Color6=9601129

Color7=10025880

Color8=14599344

Color9=16443110

Color10=16748574

Color11=11829830

Color12=64636

Color13=55295

Color14=16711935

 and paste it into MT4 installation directory \ config \ metaeditor.ini. (Locate the same section [Colors] and replace it completely.)

 Thanks for attention!
