Display instances of selected text - color highlight

[mrcmrc]

I set on the "Display instances of selected text" option in Preferences > Editing to "Highlight", but seems to me that I cannot change the highlight color (now is a dark grey).

Can someone confirm to me that I can not change the color?

Thanks!

- Marco.

Preferences, Text Colors.

I found this by searching the preferences for "highlight." You can usually find almost anything by using the search function (for future reference).

Thank you Barbara,

yes, I tried in Preferences > Text Colors, I also tried checking and unchecking the "Use custom highlight color" and choosing another color but the text remain the same dark gray... strange...

The color for indicating matches for the selected text (whether
underlined or highlighted) is derived from the "Plain Text"
color; it's not otherwise configurable.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they
sedate me.

I agree wth the others that that would be good to be configurable — and
that the selected item should be separately configurable (at least in
terms of luminosity value) from the highlighted matched items —
particularly since the default tends to partially obscure the underlying
text.

Feature request, please.

Thanks,
Rick Gordon

I agree with this feature request.

I'm now using BBEdit 15.1.3 and nothing seems to have changed since 2019 :(
The dark gray used is really very annoying.
