Importing Color Settings

Starting in version 8.0, Epsilon records color selections in an EEL extension language file. Once your color changes are in an EEL file, you'll be able to move them to a new version of Epsilon by simply recompiling them. When you move from an older version of Epsilon to version 8.0 or later, you'll need to create this EEL file.

Use the import-colors command to import your color choices from Epsilon 7.X or earlier versions. It reads the same "changed" file as load-changes and builds an EEL file named mycolors.e, which you can compile and load into Epsilon with the compile-buffer command on Alt-F3.

If you're updating from Epsilon 8.0, your color changes should already be in an EEL file. Simply compile and load this file into the new version of Epsilon. Starting in Epsilon 9.0, you can generate a mycolors.e file from Epsilon's current color settings using the export-colors command.

Once you've loaded your color choices, you may need to use the set-color command to select the particular color scheme you modified. Import-colors doesn't change which color scheme Epsilon uses, only the color choices making up the scheme.
