How do I turn on syntax highlighting/coloring in Pycharm

Question

Basically, for whatever reason pycharm's syntax highlighting/coloring just isn't working; all of the text just appears as plain black. This is despite the fact that according to my editor settings, under IDE Settings -> Editor -> Colors & Fonts -> General the highlighting/coloring does appear to be turned on and defined correctly. Can anyone tell me how to turn this on correctly? Thanks!

Answer 1

Also advanced syntax highlighting/code inspections can appear to be broken but you will have to turn off power save to get them back :)

File>Power Save Mode

Answer 2

Checkout Settings | File Types. Probably the extension of file you need to be highlighted registered as Text file.
