Hi Chris,

look at pcRange, and its wrapper contentsSelection. BTW, looks like selectPC should be deleted.

Close. That works for text highlighting: [image: Inline image 1] but not the debugger: [image: Inline image 2] That's the one I want to find. When it is in the middle of a bunch of text - really hard to see.

Now, if I click in the window, the highlight shows up fine - but, of course, it then changes where the highlight is, so that doesn't work well, either.

WorldMenu/apperance/text highlight color

Make sure transparency at the top bar in the color picker is set to more opaque

Because I really, really need too change the color. I can't see where the error is - the 'highlight' color is so faint, it looks like nothing is highlighted at all. It makes tracking down where the error is really, really hard.

I had a similar issue a few years ago with the Moose guys - they changed the sliders in the windows to be more aesthetically pleasing, but on some LCD monitors (notably, mine), the color is practically not there at all - like, apparently, this highlight color.

Thanks, cbc

Hi,

that change was related to this: http://forum.world.st/Deceptive-focus-cue-in-4-6-browsers-td4827358.html

I would rather not revert it but add some additional selection ranges + colors to paragraphs. You need those anyway to display, for example, search term matches in text boxes.

Such an additional range could then be used to highlight the current PC. The button "Where" would not be needed anymore. Hey, we can "save a button"! :)

Best, Marcel

Thank you Karl for tracking this down. I have reverted it in my image.

the problem with the gray is that I just cannot see it. The monitor/my eyes combination just can't make out Color gray: 0.9 as a highlight color - I might as well not have a highlight.

Hi, I tracked it down to NewParagraph>>selectionColor | color | Display depth = 1 ifTrue: [^ Color veryLightGray]. Display depth = 2 ifTrue: [^ Color gray]. color := Preferences textHighlightColor. self focused ifFalse: [color := Color gray: 0.9]. ^ color

I liked the previous version of this method better since the unfocused color reflected the your selection color:

self focused ifFalse: [color := color alphaMixed: 0.2 with: Color veryVeryLightGray].

It's important to see the color of selection in the Debugger even if the pane not has focus

I have a Mac Mini plugged into a 23" LG screen and the highlighting does not appear at all. I have a Mac PowerBook 13" and the light gray highlighting is clearly visible. I suspect that this is varying depending on the screen. I'm reverting for my LG screen.

Well, there is a configurable textHighlightColor already. Why not making that other one also configurable?

_Everything_ w.r.t. colors should be configurable. We need skins / themes.

What should the unfocused selection highlight be called ?

textHighlightUnfocusedColor ?
