I am trying to create a custom configuration for .sh files. I want to associate # with a comment and use the green color. In the properties I selected comment and changed the quote marks to #, line space is 2 (I don't know what that means) and character space is 0.

Two problems. It chooses a teal color rather than the green that I think I am specifying. 2nd and more important, if the # is either indented several spaces or comes after another character, it doesn't change the color at all (see below).

# echo Time Since Last Notice was sent:

Hi russkinch,

The better place to specify the comment mark # is on the Highlight (2) tab of configuration properties, "Comments" - "Line Comment", where you can specify up to two comment marks.
I hope this helps.

Thanks!
