I am using texworks for the first time, I want to change the background of the editor from dark to white, as the code is not visible in dark background. I am using texworks in Manjaro Linux on GNOME desktop environment. Please help me.

Welcome to TeX.SX! It is also very simple to change the colors and keep the dark background. – TeXnician Sep 26 '18 at 9:33

Maybe this question can help you. – Pidrittel Sep 26 '18 at 9:37
As an alternative to changing the background color you may easily change the highlighting colors by altering the file ~/.TeXworks/configuration/syntax-patterns.txt:
[LaTeX]
# special characters
orangered N [\$#\^_\{\}&]
# LaTeX environments
lightseagreen N \\(?:begin|end)\s*\{[^\}]*\}
# LaTeX packages
lightskyblue N \\usepackage\s*(?:\[[^\]]*\]\s*)?\{[^\}]*\}
# control sequences
lightsteelblue N \\(?:[A-Za-z@]+|.)
# comments
grey Y %.*
