If you install version 9 of TextPad on the same PC as version 8, it will uninstall version 8 and copy all its configuration files. If you need to import them from another PC, they are stored in this folder:

%APPDATA%\Helios\TextPad\8

Copy its contents to:

%APPDATA%\Helios\TextPad\9

I installed version 9 of TextPad on the same PC as version 8.
Why did I get a black window background having a white background in version 8?

I don't know why but you can change it using View » Appearance » Default.

Hi,

I did a restart of my PC after it was a couple of month up, and all my Textpad settings were lost.
Working with Textpad version 9.5.2.
How to restore my settings?
