How to change background color of build panel?

#1

I tried asking this question in the general forum area; however, it seems like nobody knows how to do this for ST3.

How to change background/foreground color of build panel? Seems like a typical thing that someone would want to do (so ST3 feels and looks more like a real IDE); but I can’t find any documentation anywhere showing how to do this. This is such a turn-off, it actually makes me not want to use the build option at all.

I found an old post below describing how to do this with an old version of Sublime Text:
Change the BG Color of the Build Panel (new ST2 Build 2165)

Unfortunately, that solution seems to be specific to only ST2; affecting only the ST Python Console window & Find/Replace panes; pretty much everything, but the build panel itself.

Can a developer please tell me how to do this? I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance for the quick response!

I recently upgraded from ST2 to ST3 and I would like the build panel to look the same as in ST2.
I am also interested in color change, so, please.

I received an email from Sublime “Sales department” saying they aren’t going to fix this. Not sure why they wouldn’t want for users to have that flexibility as they did before.
