In my Sigil in linux, the Code View window is a sort of pale grey and doesn't help visibility when I take a screenshot. I would like the background to be white as in a version I've looked at in Windows10 but I don't see any setting in Preferences > Appearances.

I've found an entry in sigil.ini that looks as if it should be relevant but I don't understand it and have no idea how it relates to a color.

Code:

code_view_background_color=@Variant(\0\0\0\x43\0\xff\xff\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0)

Strangely (for me), the corresponding entry in sigil.ini in the Windows10 with Sigil 1.9.10 is exactly the same although the background color there is white (or appears to be white).

So, it is likely that I have misunderstood and the entry I found is not the one governing the background color.

Is it possible to change the background color of the Code View window?
