How to change default color for displaying waves

It seems that recently if you download the intel starter edition of modelsim, the default color of a 1 bit signal on a waveform is barely visible with "extra dark green" color against a black background...even with my laptop brightness cranked to high, its still uncomfortably dim...does anybody know how to increase the intensity of the dark-green for displaying waves signals to a higher intensity color of green for modelsim?

(I also noticed that gtkwave has the same problem as well. but simvision is still ok.)

Basically, you need to start up modelsim and make the following changes:

(1) Select on Menu: "Tools->Edit-Preferences". This will open up a "Preferences" Dialog box.

(2) In the Dialog Box, Select "Wave Windows" from "Window List" ListBox on left hand side. This will change right hand side of dialog box to the "Wave Window Color Scheme" Listbox.

(3) Select "LOGIC_O" in listbox and select bright green from color palette.

(4) Select "LOGIC_1" in listbox and select bright green from color palette.

(5) Click Applied. You can now read logic 1 and 0 because they are in bright green instead of darkgreen.

There's also a turtorial on the internet for changing your wave color scheme in modelsim here: ModelSim timing diagram colour scheme
