How to change background color of code editor?

My eyes are going to bug out unless I can figure out how to change the background color for the code editor (from white to black)! 

I found this informative article on changing overall appearance of the code editor, yet it still does not clarify exactly how to change the background color.

http://polygeek.com/1990_flex_making-flash-builder-your-bitch

All you have to do is set the editor background to black in Preferences > Appearance > Colors and Fonts. Then you can edit the syntax coloring for AS and MXML in Preferences > Flash Builder > Editors > Syntax Coloring. You’ll also want to edit the BG color of the current line of text at Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors.

Okay, I get most of that.  Except, I'm still not getting how to change the background to black.  I went here, and did not see the right options:

Preferences > Appearance > Colors and Fonts

Is it then under the "View and Editors Folders"?  And if so,  which item needs to be changed?  I tried various ones, yet nothing seems to change the background.

How to change the background color of the code editor?!!
