Changing the editor background colour in Eric IDE

I'm using the Eric python IDE (version 6), but I can't find a way to change the background colour of the code editor. It has picked up the dark background colour of my Kubuntu theme, making code very hard to read (but other editors such as Kate and Idle don't do this).



I've tried Settings > Preferences > Editor > Style, enabled the 'Override edit area colours' option and then changed the colour in 'Edit area background' but this seems to have had no effect.



What is the correct way to do this? And what exactly does the 'Edit area background' setting do?



I'm using Kubuntu 18.04 and the output of 'apt policy eric' is:



eric:

  Installed: 17.11.1-1

  Candidate: 17.11.1-1

  Version table:

 *** 17.11.1-1 500

        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe amd64 Packages

        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe i386 Packages

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status





python eric

Ellipse (mathématiques)

Pour les articles homonymes, voir Ellipse. L'ellipse est le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante. Section du cône ou projection du cercle. En géométrie, une ellipse est une courbe plane fermée obtenue par l’intersection d’un cône de révolution avec un plan, à condition que celui-ci coupe l'axe de rotation du cône ou du cylindre : c'est une conique d'excentricité strictement comprise entre 0 et 1. On peut également la définir comme le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante (sa construction par la méthode du jardinier est très simple). Dans la vie courante, l’ellipse est la forme qu'on perçoit en regardant un cercle en perspective, ou la figure formée par l’ombre d'un disque sur une surface plane. On retrouve aussi, en première approximation [ 1 ] , des ellipses dans les trajectoires des corps célestes (planètes, comètes ou satellites arti...

Quarter-circle Tiles

up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2 ...
