How to change background color in the editor side in LaTeX?

Question

I want to change background color in the editor side like in the example picture.

How can I do?

Thank you very much. I am new in Tex.SX it is really wonderful... Thanks again. — 1_student, Oct 31 '16 at 08:20
Option --> Configure TeXstudio --> Syntax highlighting (I don't know if this is the exact naming because I have the Italian version) and then choose what you want to change and with which color. For more advanced setting see here or here. — CarLaTeX, Oct 31 '16 at 08:26
Thank you very much for your helping. (Syntax highlighting is the exact name in English version) — 1_student, Oct 31 '16 at 08:35

No, thanks :) I just wanted to learn how can I highlight some lines in the editor side like in the picture I loaded. — 1_student, Oct 31 '16 at 08:55

Can you tell me how to change the colour of some codes in the editor screen of MikTex. Your answer is not applicable to MikTex. Thank you. – Hany Dec 06 '22 at 12:35
@Hany the question concerns TeXstudio. MiKTeX is not an editor, it is a distribution. If you have a different question, ask another one. – CarLaTeX Dec 06 '22 at 13:17

I am not sure if I understood your question correctly, but if you are wondering were the green-background lines in your picture are coming from, they are due to comments in capital letters (and a few others).

Try a line with

% TODO buy more rubber ducks :)
