Unfortunately, when I try to edit an XML, trying to read that dark blue against black is murder. I am amazed that Googling "joe editor change highlighting" returns nothing! Is it really impossible to change the colours, while using the binary that came w/the RPM?
I'm using joe 3.1

To be very specific and change the dark blue on black highlighting for PHP scripts in Joe:
In Ubuntu 16.04 and with Joe 4.1-2, edit:
/usr/share/joe/syntax/php.jsf
And change:
=Constant_sq blue
To some other color of your choosing:
=Constant_sq yellow
As mentioned you'll need to edit the appropriate .jsf file for your scripting language of choice, and the affected variable. To fix XML recoloring, edit xml.jsf and change:
=Tag blue
to
=Tag yellow.
