Hi there
    simple question - how do I change the colours used for highlighting found text, eg. in the body pane?

I have found (I think) the settings for the status bar colours, but not the found text. For me (standard ?solarised? theme, I think), it is just a grey background, which is not very noticeable.

Thanks, J^n

update to my own query ... after looking a bit further I see that the colouring used is
exactly the same as the normal 'selection' colour. That light grey works fine when
you are selecting the text yourself ... but when Leo is doing it for you (so you don't
know where on the screen it might be) its doesn't stand out enough for me.

So I have changed the body-sel-bg colour, which works OK for me.

Thanks, Jon N

I'm glad you found a workaround.
