Trying to get different selection color when spelling

I've searched the forums but something isn't clicking with me. What i want to do is change the search and spell check highlight from faint grey that TP5.2 uses to something that I can actually see. I've tried changing the selected text with and without focus colors in the DEFAULT and TEXT document classes, but nothing is changing. Still the faint grey color that I can't see.
What am I doing wrong?
This is on Windows 7 beta 7000.

TextPad is not currently supported on Beta versions of Windows 7.
This is how to change the colours on the operating systems that are supported :
1. From the Configure menu choose Preferences
2. + sign next to Document classes
3. + sign next to Default(Check "Apply these settings to all document classes", under Document class options)
4. Colors
5. From the "Item menu", click on "Selected text(no focus)"
6. Click on the arrows next to Foreground and Background, and select the colors of your choice
7. Click Apply/OK

thanks. It may be that "Apply to all document classes" that I was missing. Will give it a shot.

Thanks. It was the "all" box that needed to be checked. Working fine in Win7 by the way.
