Colours for HighlightSelectionAction (Highlight selected phrase)

[crtrubshaw]

Hi Rickard.

Can we configure the colours used in this function, which highlights phrases with a different colour each time it is used? Are there settings for it or perhaps in an .ini file somewhere?

Thank you.

Do you mean these? (Options -> Search)

I thought it was about these

which seem completely random (though pleasant-looking) to me.

No, they can't be changed. I use a formula to create a new color for each new word to highlight.

@pjj, yes, those

Okay, might you consider making thsese editable, or perhaps tweak the formula to not have dark text with a dark background (nor light text with a light background)?

Thanks for your consideration.
