After running around in the Preferences dialog  the following is the location at which the highlight color for  occurrences  can be changed   General - gt  Editors - gt  Text Editors - gt  Annotations  Look for Occurences from the Annotation types list   Then  be sure that Text as highlighted is selected  then choose the desired color     And  a picture is worth a thousand words       source  coobird net       source  coobird net
