   Did you know about the Ctrl+Keypad+ and Ctrl+Keypad- commands for making
the text larger and smaller? This makes it easier to experiment.

   There is currently no UI option to change selection colours but it can be
done by modifying the code. In the Pythonwin\pywin\scintilla\view.py file,
find the OnInitialUpdate method. In this method you could add
  self.SendScintilla(SCI_SETSELBACK, 1, win32api.RGB(0xff, 0xff, 0x0))
which makes the selection background bright yellow. The selection foreground
colour could be changed to red with
  self.SendScintilla(SCI_SETSELFORE, 1, win32api.RGB(0xff,0,0))
