[Users] Can I change the text highlight color in searched messages?

[Victoria S.]

Hi: I am using the [default] Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Ambiance theme, with ubuntu-mono-dark icons.

in gedit, for example. searched (found; highlighted) text appears highlighted, as white text on an orange background, even while I am searching.  This makes it easy to just glance at the screen and see if the found word is the one I am looking for, at that particular location in the file.

In Claws, however, this same highlighting is only evident when I close the "Find in current message..." popup; then the found text is highlighted (as above, in gedit), in the Claws mail message.  However, while this popup is open (i.e. if you are recursively searching for another instance of the search term), they appear as black text on a very light background, virtually indistinguishable from the non-highlighted text, and almost impossible to spot, until you close the pop-up (search box).

I'll try attaching 2 screenshots (I don't know if this list accepts images).

Hello Victoria,

But I'm surprised that highlight text comes wrong by default.. Are the highlighted text colors the same as other highlight items (like when you navigate in menus, lists, etc.)?

Regards,

How can I change the color of searched / "found" text (the background, highlight color), when I search Claws mail messages for specific text, vis the Edit menu (or Ctrl-F) > Find in current message... ?

Presently, the highlighted text is the black text on a *very* light grey background, that is virtually indistinguishable from the white background.

I am using Claws 3.8.0 on an Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS system.
