How to change the background color in Google script editor

Question

I wonder is it possible now to change theme in script editor from white to dark background. If not how to make Google make it.

Answer 1

If you are using Google Chrome, you can add the AppsScript Color extension. It has two dark color schemes to choose from.

Answer 2

Go to the code editor -> click inspect -> find the element that contains the code -> find css background -> add property background-color:#ccc; or whatever color you want -> done -> works every browser

Answer 3

The new Apps Script IDE in 2021 has a built-in 'high contrast mode' which makes the editor background black.

To enable: Press F1 > search for High Contrast Theme

Answer 4

Another option is to set chrome to use auto dark mode. chrome://flags (or edge://flags) 'Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents' - There are a couple options. I prefer 'Enabled with increased text contrast'

It's a good middle ground between AppScript Color Extension's Dracula (not enough contrast) and Monokai (too much contrast) options. It affects ALL WEB PAGES though.
