+> This is a fork of the original Syntax Highlighting project made by [Tes3awy](https://github.com/Tes3awy). I only reskinned it. His project can be found [here](https://github.com/Tes3awy/Cisco-IOS-XE-NotepadPlusPlus-Syntax-Highlight).

+The syntax highlighting UDL found in the original project's [.xml file](https://github.com/Tes3awy/Cisco-IOS-XE-NotepadPlusPlus-Syntax-Highlight/blob/main/Cisco_IOS_XE_byOsamaAbbas.udl.xml) is absolutely incredible. However, as someone who uses Dark Mode on every application, the color conflict was too hard to read. As a result, I revised/reskinned the original .xml file to allow for dark mode compatability / readability.

 Files with extensions `.cisco`, `.ios`, `.xe`, `.log`, `.txt`, `.conf`, and `.config` will automagically use this new UDL as their default language when opened with NotePad++. Remove or add any extension when desired.

+## Specific Color Changes
+The only changes I made to the original .xml was to the Hex colors. Here is the Diff Checker:  
+![Diff](assets/diffchecker.jpg)
+
+By default, Notepad++ uses `#3F3F3F` as its Dark Mode background color. This was an easy enough change, but still left a minor issue. The rest of the original colors were too dark and hard to read. To remedy this, every color has been tweaked to increase readability.
+
+### If you wish to completely revamp the color scheme:
 
-![Preview](assets/preview.jpg)
+1. Open the `Cisco_IOS_XE_Dark_Mode_byMicahKezar.udl.xml` file.
+2. Identify the Keyword and its matching Style you want to change (Alternatively, you can enter the various Hex Values found in the .xml in a [Hex color picker](https://htmlcolorcodes.com/) until you find the color you were trying to identify).
+3. Use the same tool in Step 2 to pick a new favorite color, copy the Hex Value, and paste the new value where the original Hex Value was. 
+4. Save the document and reload Notepad++.
