How to define different background colors for multi-language files?

I am looking to purchase a new editor and UltraEdit seems to be the best value solution. I'm trying out the latest demo of UE.

The only thing I cannot figure out is how to set the white-space colour for an embedded language in an HTML page such as PHP or ASP. SlickEdit does this easily (but is out of my price range). I tried out the recommendations mentioned in a PHP posting on this forum, but cannot get the white-space to take on a standard background for the embedded language(VBScript). i.e. I can get a standard colour behind any text present, just not able to get it applied to the remaining embedded white-space.

Can anyone direct me to a solution?

Many thanks

Without testing what I'm writing here try following.

Open Advanced - Configuration - Editor Display - Syntax Highlighting.
Select the Language PHP.
Uncheck the setting Background color automatic.
Specify now the background color you want for Normal Text of language PHP.
Redo step 3 and 4 for all Color Groups of language PHP
Close the configuration dialog with button OK.

I hope, this results in the highlighting you want.
