Thanks Benoit but it's still not working here.
not without my workaround.

Public Sub ColorChooser1_Change()

  If cmboStates.Text = "Background" Then
    TextEditor1.Background = ColorChooser1.Value
  Else
    TextEditor1.Theme[cmboStates.Text].Color = ColorChooser1.Value

   TextEditor1.Theme = TextEditor1.Theme.Copy()  ' doesn't work without this

  Endif

  TextEditor1.Refresh

End
