I am widely using multiple and different color versions of Notepad2. And I could create another adjustmentents to some existing scheme at
View > Customize Schemes... >
[as I do not know to create one from srcatch - and the creator's answer to this question available at https://www.flos-freeware.ch/doc/notepad2-FAQs.html#q31 leads nowhere as there is not "Readme.txt" file, just "Notepad2.txt" which contains no info about this]
But maybe someone already has came up with some [preferably] dark colors for this text editor; in version 4.2.25 x64?

Re: Colors Syntax Scheme for Notepad2
Given the age of notepad2 might better off going with a newer fork, notepad3 seems logical (last update 2021) https://www.rizonesoft.com/downloads/notepad3/ which AutoHotkey syntax highlighting according to the description with dark mode / theme built in.
Edit: not using it myselt btw so can't assist with the program

Re: Colors Syntax Scheme for Notepad2
I might use this Notepad3, as one of its contributors is creator of Notepad2 - or some other text editor and associate it just with AHK files. Hell, I am already using Notepad++ just for utilizing some data exported from Mp3tag with a scriptahk7 wrote: ↑08 Jun 2022, 13:40[...]

But I if will not utilize Notepad2 for AHKs- then why stop at text editors and not just use some AHK dedicated editor?
Re: Colors Syntax Scheme for Notepad2
Notepad++ is used by many for AutoHotkey and you already know it, so less to learn, there is great tool that works with Notepad++ here https://github.com/Toralf-AHK/AHK-Project-Manager
Other alternative is https://www.autohotkey.com/scite4ahk/
Both are probably better suited given their autocompletion and associated AutoHotkey tools, not just syntax highlighting only (but do experiment and use what you like best)

Re: Colors Syntax Scheme for Notepad2
For now I decided to use
And can I change location of that C:\Users\YOUR-USER-NAME\Documents\AutoHotkey folder? I hate it when anything installs parts of itself in my Documents, which I use only for temporary garbage of all kind
But where are its settings stored? Do I have to copy all content of the C:\Users\YOUR-USER-NAME\Documents\AutoHotkey\SciTE in order to preserve them?

Re: Colors Syntax Scheme for Notepad2
I don't use it myself but there is an entire forum section dedicated to it so you have to do some research.
