Wing IDE currently does not provide fine-grained control over the 
coloring and formatting of source code in the editor.  You can set the 
editor background color but the syntax colors are computed automatically 
using an algorithm that ensures that they colors will be reasonable for 
the selected background.

We plan to add per-language/per-construct control over colors and 
formatting attributes in the future.  If this really bugs you, there is 
a way to do it by modifying the Wing IDE source code; just let us know.
