[Murray Eisenberg]

Please IGNORE this P.S.! I did find the Index item. But underlying issue remains that all my old setting seem to have vanished.

>>> Open TeXShop->Preferences and click on the new Themes tab. The bottom button says `New Theme from Prefs'. If you click it you'll be prompted for a name for the theme; type one and click OK. 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.
