I have just noticed that BBEdit is now partially applying syntax color preferences to the grep search and replace patterns in the search dialog box. While in principle I think this is a great idea, I have started using a color scheme of light colors on a dark background (ala John Gruber's command line tool, bbcolors). This results in washing out some of the grep pattern elements against the white text edit field background. I have already sent a comment to Bare Bones support, but I thought I would mention it here just in case there was a work around or obvious solution.

Thanks,

BBEdit has done that for a while, but the text background in your search dialog should be the same color as the background in your editor window. The feature is controlled by Preferences -> Text Search -> "Color grep patterns in Find dialog".

Thanks Steve. Rich also directed me to the preferences. It is now under Languages -> Grep Replace Pattern -> Options -> Colors, and similarly for Grep Search Pattern. Quite a bit of customizability, but I found you still can't change the color of the red ()+.* characters. I suspect this may be an oversight.
