Way To Change HIGHLIGHTING In Code View

This retarded highlighting "feature" was the last straw for me and one of the reasons I installed DW 2017 last night, and uninstalled it not even 24 hours later. I mean, seriously, I have to edit a stylesheet just to make the freaking code visible to the naked eye? Which  moron at Adobe thought up that idea? And did anyone consider the possibility of offering the long-time standard color schemes as one of the available options, or would that go against some company policy requiring that Adobe annoy its long-time users as much as possible?

I spent the better part of today farting around with DW 2017 trying to disable crap like the highlighting that OP mentioned, marveling at how a company that specializes in creativity software managed to come up with such an utterly ugly UI, cursing at the auto-indent feature in the code window (I can indent my own code, thank you), and generally trying to re-learn how to use a program that I've been using for almost 20 years. I didn't get a blasted minute of revenue work done. I finally gave up and went back to CS6.

Does anyone at Adobe actually use this software for revenue work? Does anyone realize that moving things around that have been in the same place since DW was first introduced so we have to go searching for them costs developers money? Does anyone at Adobe care?

When I downloaded my first trial copy of DW back in the late 1990s, I couldn't wait to buy it. (Yeah, we bought it and owned it back then, before it became subscription ransomware.) If I downloaded 2017 as a trial having never used DW before, it would have lasted about three minutes before I uninstalled it -- and that's assuming that I even managed to get past the vomitous default UI. I can't believe Adobe actually designed something that unspeakably ugly.

When I have to sit down for a whole workday to try to figure out how to use the same software that I've been using productively for 20 years, I may as well just fire up Notepad like we did in the old days. At least I would have gotten some revenue work done. And Notepad is free.

I tell you what: As I said in another thread, the day Fireworks stops working is the day I say goodbye to Adobe altogether. I can find better replacements for literally everything that Adobe makes -- many of them FOSS -- except Fireworks. The rest of your software just keeps getting worse and worse with every new version.
