How to change the "Highlight Current Line" color

Post by Deal_Maker »

Product, version and build: PrimalScript 2016 7.2.91, 64 bit version of product
Operating system: Windows 7 x64

Is there a way to change the Highlight Current Line color that you can turn on under General Options? Its default color is bright orange. I'm using the dark scheme and find it far too bright, in addition, it obscures orange colored text on the current line (local variables are orange). I looked in options colors and found nothing that looked like the right setting.

Thanks,
David

You can indeed change the setting by going to the Text Editor -> Colors -> Line Highlight option and changing the background color to a color that suits you best.

We recently updated PrimalScript to use the RGB values 41, 41, 41 which is much nicer to look at, however we don't force these colors on update as users may have specified which colors they like and we don't want to overwrite them. Here's what the 41, 41, 41 combination looks like:
