Years ago I created an IDE colour scheme and saved it to a prefs file using the standard tool. Tonight, after a computer crash, I opened PureBasic and found that it has reverted to the factory settings. I tried to load my settings from that old prefs file but the error message appears: "This Preference file format is unknown".
Does anyone know a way to resolve this, other than trying to remember the individual IDE colours myself?

The Prefs file is just plain text, so open it in Notepad, note the color
settings, and put them into the new Prefs file that you have.

I compile using 5.31 (x86) on Win 7 Ultimate (64-bit).

Thank you. I can't believe this didn't occur to me!
