colour coded scripting (SOLVED)

[Paul Simpson]

Hi, I'm new to Game Maker, I'm using Game Maker Studio 2, free trial version. Is there anywhere that explains what the different coloured expressions in GML mean? I've been wandering around the website for ages and haven't found any explaination of what the colours mean.

if you are talking about GML code;
File > preferences > Text editors > Code editor (not most user friendly cause you'll have to expand all manually; but that's where you can set color/font/etc... for each words category like, comment, keyword, macro, ressources names,...)

Ooooh that's where it is. I was looking in the manual! Thanks very much for that, being able to set my own colours for things will be a huge help.
