Hi Benoît,

> selection background color?
last evenning I managed to get a selection of a terrible color, it was working. 
I switched back to my theme, which selects colors correctly in Pluma, Evolution,
the Gambas project tree, the debug window, and the search/replace window... but
not in the code window.

> Can you print the value of Color.SelectedBackground from the IDE?

GTk3
Color.SelectedBackground=-16777216 (Color.RGB(0, 0, 0, 255))
(Alpha=Transparent)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Color.SelectedForeground=16776447 (Color.RGB(255, 252, 255, 0))

qt5
Color.SelectedBackground=6710889 (Color.RGB(102, 102, 105, 0))
Color.SelectedForeground=16776447 (Color.RGB(255, 252, 255, 0))

If you mean the first tab of Tools/Preferences: attachment


> Can you try to run the IDE with QT?
you mean Debogage/Configuration/Environnement GB_GUI = qt5 ?

It's me who should be thanking you for your help.
 I'm completely lost and confused, especially in the code editor window. 
Perhaps I can manually modify the value of `SelectedBackground` in the GTK
unparsable configuration file, but where ???
