Find Result + Current line - dotted yellow bar hard to see

When I search for a term in a text file (and this also applies in general to the "current line") I find that dotted yellow line extremely hard to see on my rubbish monitor. Is there a way to change the colour of this feature, or could such functionality be added in the next release?

Also, I don't use the "Extend Selection" feature so much, but what I'd find more useful is just a plain "select text" when my "Find" has found something.

Basically in these two points, I'm finding it hard to spot on the screen where my found text has been found.

Thanks muchly
Peter

Try this:

1. Click Configure > Preferences.
2. Expand the "+" sign next to Document Classes.
3. Click Default.
4. Select Apply these settings to all document classes.
5. Expand the "+" sign next to Default.
6. Click Colors.
7. Click Current line.
8. Click Foreground and choose a new colour for the dotted line above and below the current line. I use Yellow (255, 255, 0).
9. Click Background and choose a new colour for the background of the current line. I use Light Yellow (255, 255, 153).
10. Click OK.

Sorted
