ive really messed up my coldfusion builder editor colors but can't reset them

I tried the resrore defualts in the prefs>coldfusion>editorProfiles>editor

but nothing happened.

Maybe I need to delete some xml prefs files somewhere?

There is a hidden folder in your workspace directory that has all sorts of configuration settings in it.  This is one of them.

The hidden folder is called .metadata.

So go to <Workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings

Then rename the file com.aptana.ide.editors.prefs to com.aptana.editors.prefs.old

Then start Eclipse again. This clearsout any cusotm color settings and sets you back to the defaults.

Hope this helps, it worked when I tested it.
