Text Editor lets you choose the color of the text background and the background window. When you change the text background color, the written text appears on the background color that you chose. For example, if the background color is white and the text background color is green, the text appears on a green background and the text appears white. The default text background and background window color is white.
You can choose a preset color or you can customize a color. When you customize a color, you can change the settings on the Colors Palette, or you can type in values to set the hue, saturation, value, and Red, Green and Blue (RGB) qualities.
