I set my PL/SQL Developer (v 10.0.2) to use non-default font and background colors. I prefer black background with bright font (Lime) instead of standard black on white.
Unfortunately "DBMS Scheduler" window uses black font in some places regardless of my settings, so I get black font on black background.
I just noticed one more thing which may be or may be not related to the problem above:
In Tools > Preferences > User Interface > Fonts > Editor there's "Main Font..." button which allows setting a font that affects many PL/SQL Developer interface aspects (definitely not only Editor windows) that among others allows selecting font colour. That setting is not preserved (always reverts to black). Maybe this is intended behaviour (that this option should only allow font typeface change, not the colour) but in that case it's slightly misleading.
I work on Windows 7 64-bit (all available patches installed) with UAC turned on (but PL/SQL Developer settings are stored in my profile, so file access rights should not be an issue and I did not notice any problems with other program settings not being preserved).
Edit:
The black font colour use in "DBMS Scheduler" window changes in different window work mode, eg. when adding new job, more fields use black font colour than when we only view an existing job data.
