      @Alan-Kilborn,

      Thanks,

      Style Configurator -> Language -> Search results did the trick.

      One thing that I am curious about is if highlight overlays are cumulative? For example, if my current line is RGB 50 50 50 for a dark gray and my selected text is RGB 100 100 100 for a less dark gray, it appears that in the area of overlap, the line is actually lighter than 100 100 100 and more like 150 150 150 for a medium gray.

      Has anyone seen this?

      Thanks,

      Steve

        the Selected Line style really isn’t that necessary anyway. What do you think?

        If none of us power-users had noticed that particular highlighting was missing since v5.8 (or at least it hadn’t bothered us enough to say anything), then it’s probably not necessary. :-)

          Yeah, it wouldn’t surprise me if it did apply some combo of the various highlight overlays – I don’t know whether it’s a linear combo, though. (Obviously, at some point, it stops, since it won’t go over 255 255 255… :-))

          But if you told me that those two grays were different, I wouldn’t disagree with you. (My greyscale distinguishing isn’t great… and I’m often using NPP over a remote desktop connection, and colors don’t make it through the tunnel unaffected.)

            Hi, @steven-haymes, @alan-kilborn, @peterjones, and All,

            @peterjones

            I did notice that difference, a long time ago. But, both, I’ve been able to live, with that regression, up to now and I was not courageous enough to post an issue, on GitHub ;-))

            @alan-kilborn

            You’re right ! Current line, in the Find Result panel, has a light background color, anyway ! This gives me an idea for a possible work-around, in order to easily localize the double-clicked line :-))

            Just change the background color of the Current line background color style, of the pseudo-language Search result, to a darker color ;-)). For instance, you could choose, in a RGB notation :

            • A Violet color : 255,160,255

            • A Blue color : 128,160,255

            • A Yellow color : 255,255,96

            Of course, doing so, prevents you from changing the foreground color of text. However, I verified that, even if you open successive Find result panels, by right-clicking and choosing the Find results in these found results option, the current line is still highlighted, with this darker color !

            Cheers,

              Can you elaborate more on how this is advantageous? To me it just sounds like changing out one color for another, with no “improvement” in functionality. Clearly I am missing the point…it happens. :)

                Hi, @alan-kilborn and All,

                • With the v4.9.2 release, by default :

                • With the v5.7 Unicode release, by default :

                • With the last v7.7.1 Unicode release, by default :


                Obviously, it easier to localize the double-clicked line, of the Find Result panel, in the first two pictures than in the third one ;-))

                Indeed, my work-around is not complicated at all ! I just made the current line background color darker, in order to simulate the selected line style, which does not work, anymore !

                So, for instance, with a darker yellow, we get the 4th picture, below, which is better visible than in the 3th picture above ;-))


                • With the last v7.7.1 Unicode release, after modification of the background color of Current line background style of the Search result language :

                Cheers,

                guy038

                  Oh, OK, it IS just a color change. I thought you had some magic whereby you achieved some additional functionality. :)

                  Thanks for clarifying, and the images.

                    I suspected that the selected line style was not working, thanks! My custom theme has a black background, so I already achieved the same result as you by going lighter instead.

                      Console Editing for Notepad++:

                      plugins/npp exec/ change console font

                      this path changes the console’s font, font style, and size.

                      plugins/npp exec/advanced options

                      This path changes the color of the fonts in the terminal.

                        Sorry, @Reggie-Wherry,

                        You have misunderstood the question from 6 years ago. They were asking about the Search Results panel; your answer is talking about how to change settings for the NppExec plugin’s console panel, so is irrelevant to the original, already-answered question.
