Change MATLAB .mlx Live Script background and font colors

How can I customise the background and font colors for viewing .mlx files within the MATLAB IDE?

I'm wanting to work from a series of .mlx files and have customised the color settings for the rest of the IDE frames, e.g. command window.

These settings do not translate to viewing the .mlx file.

As of R2022a, you can now configure live editor's background and foreground colors.

Thanks for giving an update Jacky! Am sure there are many pairs of eyes that will be happy with this change.

The R2022a release notes just talk about dark theme, nothing specifically about the font size. Is the font size - specifically for MLX files editable?

[Jacky Tsai]

@Brook Dawit, you can update the font settings for Live Editor using MATLAB settings. Here is the documentation page: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/matlab.fonts-settings.html.

You can make some good changes via preferences, e.g.:

>> preferences

MATLAB -> Editor/Debugger -->Display ...

MATLAB -> Fonts --> Custom ...

etc.

Those settings don't appear to have an affect when viewing .mlx files
