cursor & current line highlighting does not use editor's font colour

[mato]

hello,

i've just tried to change my colours used for highlighting as well as default editor font and background colour and i found out that "highlight edit line" does not follow editor font setting.
in other words, i set my preferences to light colours and dark background, but current line is still highlighted with black colour. i even cannot see the cursor. (!)

i'm using version 6.05 and i'm wondering whether this is fixed in new version and whether it is possible to fix ver.6 so that i don't have to update.

cheers,

martin

If I change the editor background color to black (Tools > Preferences > Fonts / Editor Bkg), the cursor color and current line indicator color are both white, and therefore clearly visible.

what version did you test pls ?
i'm running 6.0.5.something..

marco, i've found out what's the problem -- i set background to gray-50% and in that case cursor and line highlighting is already black which renders them invisible. white would work, though.
i'm not sure whether the colour is calculated by windows or plsqldev, but it'd be highly useful if it could be adjustable (as it is in some text editors).

The cursor is displayed by a standard Windows function, so there's not much we can do. I think it inverts the background color, so maybe you are using a color that inverts to the same color.

yeah, that's what i guessed.
still, allowing a user to override it and specify whatever colour they want would be useful. as already mentioned this is the case with many advanced text editors. think about it and let us know..
thanks anyway for the great tool!
