You can see the default black color that the editor makes constants different when indented for some reason. This cannot be changed in the settings. (193.36 KB, image/png)

I've come across an annoying bug for which I have found no fix whatsoever. For some odd reason, the default color for makefile macros like $(CCFLAGS) changes from that in the editor settings to a dark black after indentation, and is nigh on unreadable in the editor using a dark theme. Attached is a screenshot of this behavior. I set the color to light gray for macros, but the Editor displays the macros in black when indented anyway. Please fix, this is important for users of dark editor themes using C++. This problem exists on Netbeans 8.1 and 8.2.

Makefile editor supports embedded language.
Mentioned lines has a shell script embedded language.
So edit shell script colors.

I'm not sure which option to edit in the shell script colors section, can you please tell me which option I should change?

Sorry previous replay was failed.

Select in language combobox "Shell Script" and change foreground color of Identifier.
