Style Scite with Lua?

I would like to style Scite, so it starts up with whatever is the default style - but then I would want to change to a different style to a dark one by running a command. So, after some digging, I got to this script in sciteLuaFunctions.lua which I mapped to a command in Tools menu:

sciteLuaFunctions.lua

-- http://scite.ruteam.ru/archive/1.59
local function encodeRGB(color)
if string.sub(color,1,1)=="#" and string.len(color)>6 then
return tonumber(string.sub(color,6,7)..string.sub(color,4,5)..string.sub(color,2,3), 16)
else
return color
end
end

function ChangeToDarkTheme()
-- http://www.scintilla.org/PaneAPI.html
-- http://www.scintilla.org/SciTEFAQ.html " How do I change SciTE to use black as the background colour?"
-- http://www.scintilla.org/SciTEDoc.html
-- color calculation works like this:
--~ mycolorRGB = { r = 100, g = 100, b = 100 } -- ok
--~ mycolor = (mycolorRGB.r+(mycolorRGB.g*256)+(mycolorRGB.b*65536)) -- ok
-- but also can use encodeRGB:
myBackgroundColor = encodeRGB("#282C34")
editor.StyleBack[32] = myBackgroundColor -- mods background, but where there no text
editor.StyleBack[33] = myBackgroundColor -- mods background of line numbers
end


Then, when I run this command, I get something like this:

The problem is:

sciteLuaFunctions.lua

lua

cpp


editor.StyleBack[32] = myBackgroundColor -- mods background, but where there no text
editor.StyleBack[33] = myBackgroundColor -- mods background of line numbers
editor.StyleBack[0] = myBackgroundColor -- mods background of whitespace/indents
editor.StyleBack[2] = myBackgroundColor -- mods background of commented lines
editor.StyleBack[4] = myBackgroundColor -- mods background of numbers at uncommented lines
editor.StyleBack[5] = myBackgroundColor -- mods background of reserved keywords (function) at uncommented lines
editor.StyleBack[6] = myBackgroundColor -- mods background of strings ("...") at uncommented lines
editor.StyleBack[10] = myBackgroundColor -- mods background of equal signs, etc at uncommented lines
editor.StyleBack[11] = myBackgroundColor -- mods background of regular variables at uncommented lines
editor.StyleBack[14] = myBackgroundColor -- mods background of predef functions (string.sub) at uncommented lines

Is it possible to achieve these with a Lua script, and if so, how?

for i = 0, 63 do editor.StyleBack[i] = 0x282C34 end

.properties

props["fold.margin.colour"]=0x282C34; props["fold.margin.highlight.colour"]=0x282C34
