Public bug reported: By default, gedit uses the 'classic' color scheme. I think the 'builder' color scheme looks a bit closer to Ubuntu's colors. (grey, orange, green, and blue instead of blue, green, red, and purple). It's also nice because it has a Dark variant and it is the same color scheme used by default in GNOME Builder.
You can change the color scheme by opening gedit. I recommend opening a typical source code file. Click the app menu in the top bar and select Preferences. Switch to the Fonts & Colors tab. Select the Color Scheme you want. The gsettings is [org.gnome.gedit.preferences.editor scheme] 'builder' We are now past Ubuntu 17.10 User Interface Freeze, but I think this change is worth considering for 18.04 LTS. ** Affects: ubuntu-settings (Ubuntu) Importance: Wishlist Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-settings in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1717820 Title: gedit: Use 'builder' color scheme by default Status in ubuntu-settings package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: By default, gedit uses the 'classic' color scheme.
