[OS X TeX] TeXShop 4.10 lost my editor color preferences

[Murray Eisenberg]

P.S. Also, that TeXShop Preferences > Themes panel does not seem to have any way to change colors for what I really had needed changed originally, namely, \index commands.

Click on `Save Edited Theme'. You can then choose that theme for you Lite and/or Dark Mode Theme from the popup menu near the top, left. Finally press OK and you'll have your syntax colors back.
