I changed the default text color for each text file to white. I use styles and also have that set to white. However, creating a new paragraph defaults the text color to black and not the default color “white”. It gets very annoying having to reset the colors each time.
On another note, formatting is disabled inside the form Project Settings->Formatting:
Hmm. Where are you setting this?
Options | Editing | formatting
or
Options | Appearance | Colors | Editor | Text ?
or are you setting text color via context menu in the editor itself, and then setting the style to that, and choosing a default style?
If you want your text always in white, and your background always in black, when in the editor, setting those in options | appearance | colors |editor | text (and ‘editor’ for the background) might work better than setting a style.
However, if you’re using highlighting as background (which is what you set in Options | Editing | formatting), you’d have to highlight the text to get the background correct. Or am I missing something? (always possible)
That problem is known, or at least part of it.

You should be able to set the default style in Project Settings, exit scriv, re-enter, and it should show the change. It’s just not updating the display, for some reason.
The color problem was resolved in beta 7/8. HOWEVER, when I go to File->Options->Editing->Formatting, the text color displayed in the style bar (“A”) is always “Black” no matter what color I select and save. Instead, the color displayed should always be the one last saved, otherwise default to black.
This has been filed as a bug, as you are correct that the ui should be updating. Thanks.
