In Coldfusion Builder (my version is 3.2), there is a built-in option for a “Dark” theme. I happen to prefer “Dark-Mode” themes, especially on my laptop and phones for battery savings and I find it easier on my eyes.
The dark theme can be applied using the following eight-step sequence:
1. Window (from-File-menu) – Choose
2. Preferences (option-at-the-bottom) -Choose
3. General (tree-item) – Choose
4. Appearance ( sub-tree-item) – Choose
5. Enable theme (option) – Enable
6. Theme: (option) – Select “Dark”
7. Apply, or Apply-And-Close (Button) – Press
8. Re-start Builder
MOONRISE
Another good option is to download and install the “MoonRise UI” theme and follow the install intructions or fine-tune as described on their install page.
In my case, I created “Plugins” sub-folder under “Dropins” sub-folder (of Builder) where I placed the jar file “com.github.eclipseuitheme.moonrise_0.8.9.jar” and re-started the Builder.
This provided the “moonrise” and moonrise (standalone) option under the theme option as per the steps above.
I will post the link for the moonrise install if requested.

Further to this, I struggled seeing my brackets in CFSCRIPT including braces and parenethesis in code.
So, if you proceed to
1. Window (File-Menu) – Choose
2. Preferences (option) and find:
3. ColdFusion (tree-item) – Expand
4. Profiles (sub-tree-item) -Expand
5. Editor (sub-tree-item) – Expand
6. Syntax Coloring (sub-tree-item) – Choose
….A syntax Coloring Pane opens…
7. CFScript (Tree-item) – Expand
8. Bracket (Sub-tree item) – Choose
…Apply coloring or styles as desired…
9. Apply or Apply and Close (button) – Press
In the sample I’ve included, I changed the brackets to orange and they stick-out like an sun Orange sun now.
Of course, any decent Edmonton Oilers fan would pick Orange! So, I’m sure you will too! Go Oilers Go! (Orange & Blue all the way)
