I'm trying to use a custom syntax highlighter, but I can't set the background colour.

This is wrong, how do I colour the empty background / white space, per file type not a global override?

While browsing for something similar myself, I've found a possible aid to this problem.

In the user-defined language style configuration menu (found under Language > Define your language...), you can right click the color panel, and it will become hatched. This allows it to simply use the default coloration for this section.

Unfortunately, I don't yet see a way to define a background color specific to a user-defined language.

Example:

  1. Click Settings, Style Configurator.
  2. In the right half of the pane for "Global Styles: Global override" click the color box next to background color to choose your color.
  3. Check the box that says "enable global background color"
