> Hi @JSGauthier , I’m very much in the same boat. One place to start is to go to the folder where you downloaded Processing, go within the lib folder, open theme.txt and look for editor.bgcolor. The text color should be below it. For reference, I copied my personal theme below. It still needs a lot of work. You’d need to edit the image files that are scattered through-out to get rid of all the bright blues. I had to change the start up splash image (about-1x.png and about-2x.png). I also manual…

I have these in preferences.txt and I no longer see the welcome message:

```auto
welcome.four.beta.seen=false
welcome.four.beta.show=false
welcome.seen=false
welcome.show=false

```

I did the edit with Processing closed.
