I would like to be able to customize the background color of scriptlets (<% code… %>) and expression values (<%= %>) and declarations (<%! declaration… %>) in JSP, but there is no option for that as far as I could determine.

Rob,
We appreciate the good suggestions. Colored scriplets are definately on our todo list as a lot of people have requested it (including yours truely). We will see if we can easily sneak this into 2.8.

Scriptlet code uses your Java code colors.
So if there would be a background color, it would be used in scriptlets too.

But I don’t want my java code to have light grey background, but I do want all non-html code in JSP pages to have a light grey background to be able to distinguish scripting code and static parts in a quick glance.

NOP,
Thank you for pointing this out, unfortunately I agree 100% with Rob. When I am coding in Java, it is not necessary for me to color the background, but in the context of JSP, it becomes very helpful to color the backgrounds becuase the entire file is not one single language.
