I would like to change the Error colors in the IPython console in Spyder. Is that possible? I use Spyder 3.6 (if it matters). The error message is a mix of green and yellow... I have no know issues with my vision and I find it quite hard to read.
Here is an example:
According to this, the colors in iPython console are hardcoded and cannot be changed by Spyder itself.
One suggestion would be to switch to a dark background, so that colors like yellow are much easier to read. To do that, you can go to: Tools -> Preferences -> IPython console -> Display and click on Dark background.
Another alternative could be to use IPython %color magic to modify color scheme: https://ipython.org/ipython-doc/3/config/details.html#terminal-colors
Unfortunately, according to this, it seems as if the colour scheme cannot be changed at this moment in time.
Hopefully, the feature will be supported in future. You could try looking into a different IDE that might suit your needs.

I am using Jupyter notebook on my laptop (the version coming with Anaconda) to perform some sensitivity analysis.
I use plotly to display the results and I like the interactive features that it has.
However, when I am trying to display more than 7/8 interactive plots on the same notebook, some plots disappears and the output cells of those plots go crazy (see picture attached).
Issue with plotly
A solution I found was to disable the interactive feature at least for some of the plots, changing the diplay mode in config as:
config = {'staticPlot': True}
fig.show(config=config)
This method works, however, I like the feature and I was wondering if there was a solution that does not imply disabling the interactive view.
I read about this post where they say it might be a memory issue (even though their graphs are going blank while mine are behaving crazy):
Plotly: How to prevent graphs from going blank when there are too many interactive plots?
However I did not manage to find/change the jupyter configuration file, maybe because I installed it via Anaconda?
I was also wondering if someone experienced exactly the same or there might be a simpler solution to this issue.
Thanks a lot in advance
I believe that in the second link the config file should be generated if not existing.
You can also try changing to gl rendering:

I have a text editor I'm working on. Using PyCharm. I have line number support (many thanks to Bryan Oakley!) and python syntax highlighting using IDLE Perculator. It works but some of the highlight code is hard to read. Oh yes, using tkinter for GUI support.
Can anyone point me at how to set the colors in IDLE? I use options-configure IDLE and some of the changes work in my project and some don't. For example, disabling the colors in my find funcion in the editor doesn't use the 'found' attribute when I alter the 'found' highlight colors. It only highlights what is found when I set the foreground and background colors.
I would prefer to edit a file so I know what it is highlighting, such as comments, strings, keywords, etc.
The IDLE Perculator works better than all of the highlight code I tested.
Just been trying to work out how to set the highlight colors to what I want. Either light or dark themes.
Found basic doc. for IDLE but nothing on how to figure out what is what. Only some settings take effect.
I found all of the idlelib source in the appdata folders and put it into my project folder. I know can set the backgrounds in the IDLE shell for the various keywords etc. Looks ok for a dark theme now. When I run or compile I get the colors I set in the IDE in my text (editor) widget. I still have to set the default text colors in my app. When I don't, I get black text on white background which looks terrible in the dark theme.
So a little more work...
I use the IPython shell fairly often and have just started to notice it giving me strange autocomplete suggestions without any prompting from me. In this example, I just typed "im" and it suggests importing matplotlib?
This is very strange for several reasons: I've never seen this kind of grayed out code suggestion before that appears just as I type without the need to press tab or anything like that, the suggestions seem to be very arbitrary (why would typing im mean I want to import matplotlib of all things) and sometimes the suggestions make so sense (image 2: it just asks me to run plt.show() even though I haven't plotted anything yet).
Any clues to what could be going on here?
Try this.
import IPython
terminal = IPython.get_ipython()
terminal.pt_app.auto_suggest = None

PyCharm version: Community Edition 4.0.4
Is it possible to customize my color scheme for a python file in PyCharm such that certain statements are of darker color?
e.g. I want to make all statements starting with "logger" to be of gray color so that I can focus on my main code without having to wade through lot of info/debug statements.
I tried to find out if I can add new keyword in keywords1 keywords2 keywords3 keywords4 but can't find any such option. And on top of that, I can't find any way to alter colors for keyword1/2/3/4 individually.
I can't be the only one wanting to hide/dim logging statements!
There is no such feature in PyCharm 4.
I'm using the free version of wingIDE. I am trying to customize individual syntax highlighting colors (comments, strings, constants, normal text, etc). I see the generic color changes for 'background,selected text", etc, but nothing that lets me get down to specifics. Is this a limitation of the free version or is the option hidden deep in the UI? Thanks.
This is now available in the free version 6.0.8-2 (probably one or two releases after yours, PPTim...).
Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Editor -> Syntax Coloring. From here you can alter each type. I use the 'Solarized - Dark' color palette (set this in the User Interface menu, at the very top of the Preferences window) which can make open string highlights difficult to read. In the Syntax Coloring view, this is 'stringeol'. I've altered the background to Black Pearl. For a list of other colour names and descriptions, see the Wing IDE documentation.
